The General Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Are you KIDDING me? I just got the VFC BAR and I thought I was going to be unique. Stupid clones. Are there ever going to be unique guns that clones won't kill off? Oh dear... To be fair, the clone is never going to be as good as its VFC origional and it meaning you no longer have a unique gun? Well thats just life mate. Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 consider the benefits when you break something and can buy a cloneentire gun for the same price as a few replacement parts. And I'm sure someone will superglue an EoTech on there to the face palming of many. either I'm being retarded or do we know who's making it yet? Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I just got the VFC BAR and I thought I was going to be unique. The M249, M60, Sten, MP40, STG44 have been released for quite a while effectively making others with the same gun in a more expensive brand, classic or otherwise, less unique. But still you don't often see these guns being used in games as most are bought for collection purposes or as once-a-month fun guns just to break the monotony. Long after the clone BAR would have been sold, I'm inclined to think that you'd rarely see another guy wielding it in the field. If anything, you ought to be happy as you now have a cheap way to source parts. Or you could just buy another one and use two. Link to post Share on other sites
MrM60 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I just don't want to see everyone running around with these. I'll probably buy this I guess for the bipod and carrying handle. The rest for display. Link to post Share on other sites
The General Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I just don't want to see everyone running around with these. I'll probably buy this I guess for the bipod and carrying handle. The rest for display. Sorry, but thats the wrong attitude. You do what you do, don't care what other guns people have. Buy whats right for you and use it. Sounds more like you bought a gun to show off with. Meh... what ever happens, this is never going to be a common gun. Firstly its not tactical and secondly, its probably going to be heavy as hell. Thirdly it will not have mounts for modern sights and lastly, its a support gun without the option of massive box or drum mags. So for the average user, its not going to be high on the list of wants. Most users won't even know what it is. Now if its in a WW2 game setting, well the BAR was a squad support gun. So you would expect to see about 5 in a 50 man team. Which is a fairly achievable number in a good game setting. What are the odds of seeing 5 on a side? Even with the clones? Not likely. Its just not a very practical gun. Love one though, but then I know and appreciate its history and role. Link to post Share on other sites
Stangace Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 i did not see a sling or optics mount in any real pictures that i saw, was there any? There was a leather sling which was different than the leather M1907 slings used on M1's. Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 have you got a picture of it for frontiers to show the factory? Link to post Share on other sites
Stangace Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 From what I've been able to find, the sling is essentially the 1907 leather sling except that it has an extra set of "hooks" (thus it's called the BAR 3-hook sling). This isn't the best picture but it's really the only one I could find showing the hooks: LINK There's a reproduction one on ebay now for $10. The link is below but idk how long it will be good for; but it is good to know that there are cheap repro BAR slings out there. LINK Link to post Share on other sites

Mike_West Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 http://blog.myspace.com/mike_west_007 The link is also on my profile page. The "Fenghuang" name came from my ploy to let out a false rumor of a FN FAL clone being made, but then the real one appeared and as the maker wasn't known, I threw the "Fenghuang" name to help me track who follows my blog and reposts the info.

-l- Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Now, we just need a China made MG-42 in 2010, the year of WWII airsoft gun. Pretty sure AGM was going to make one before "the great airsoft harmoniztion" happened. Link to post Share on other sites
aliensexgangchildren Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 next i really think they should come out with some japanese WW2 guns all there is available now is the marushin nambu type 14 pistols and the very expensive arisaka type 99 gas rifle from tanaka maybe after the miniseries "the pacific" comes out next year some airsoft company will bring out at least a nambu type 100 aeg since it should get at least some airsofters wanting to do a imperial japanese loadout but i'm still like everyone else hoping for the obvious garand aeg and smle springer Link to post Share on other sites
