Azulsky Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Erm unless i was going for a dedicated gunner role i would stick with G&P or STAR midcaps Link to post Share on other sites
nightfire6 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Well this is not my picture, but some guy made it out of the BE SL8. So its a SL8 conversion to SL9. A Pretty Awesome Custom Work. If this guy was on Arnies I'd give him a rep+! Here is the source. http://forum.combat2000shop.com/viewthread...&extra=page%3D1 Link to post Share on other sites
[PARA] Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 That's just plain slick. BTW whats the difference between the SL8 and SL9? Link to post Share on other sites
joker, the frickin ninja Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 SL8 is real and the SL9 is fictional. Basically, the SL8 has a lighter greyish color with a fugly rail on top and is made for civilians. The SL9 is badass and darker in color. Link to post Share on other sites
nightfire6 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) SL8 is a sporting rifle, while SL9 is more like a tactical rifle used by police. SL8 is chambered in 5.56 Nato or .223 Rem while SL9 is chambered in 7.62x37mm Whisper (Subsonic Rifle bullet). Edited September 17, 2006 by nightfire6 Link to post Share on other sites
[PARA] Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Im gonna have to go with nightfire and Wikipedia on this one. Its real. Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 As I recall, the SL9 is a real firearm, but it's a work in progress.... Link to post Share on other sites
TerranCmdr Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I don't get it.... why didn't they just paint an SL9 grey? Maybe I'm missing some big obvious difference but I don't see one. Link to post Share on other sites
nightfire6 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 It was based off the BE SL8. Im pretty sure he wanted to save some money and not spend 400 bucks for a sl9 when he could make one for $90 Link to post Share on other sites
n00bTard Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I personally LOVE the SL8 rail, and I can post pictures of real-world militaries that have put that rail on every variation of the G36, including the C!!! But not sure this is the place for that. Link to post Share on other sites
patsfan1453 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 IMO it looks like it could snap off really easily. Link to post Share on other sites
nightfire6 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Cool I wanna see those pics noobtard Link to post Share on other sites
n00bTard Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) Ok, I know this is not the place for real steel pics, but here's an example of what I'm talking about: Not quite an SL8 rail, but the same principle and on a G36k - definitely a cool look IMHO.

n00bTard Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Also, I just want to be on record as saying that I don't actually care if there is a real-steel equivalent or not for the way I configure my airsoft guns. I like the look of the SL8 rail, so I bought a STAR one to put on one of my G36s. One more cool accessory to play with. Link to post Share on other sites

rtrdpenguin Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Me also WUB SL8 rails =) and the long sight base makes it very accurate with iron sights. This is my work in progress, the only external part needed now is a pdi 290mm barrel jacket (amazingly hard to find, but I finally special ordered one) Link to post Share on other sites
vincentsales Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Very nice, kinda resembles the one from FEAR Link to post Share on other sites
n00bTard Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Very very very cool - I plan to build one very similar to it as soon as CA puts out thier CA8-2 or whatever they will call it. Link to post Share on other sites

rtrdpenguin Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Very nice, kinda resembles the one from FEAR <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Everyone says that and it kind of makes me tempted to slap a Cmag on but since it's going to be semi-only that would be a bit dumb =\ Very very very cool - I plan to build one very similar to it as soon as CA puts out thier CA8-2 or whatever they will call it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh yeah I meant to wait for the CA8-2 but got impatient. The mags are out though, same size as the STARs but have a 30-round capacity =) Arent you forgetting your trigger? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, it's in the incomplete gearbox =( You're uh... going to put a gearbox in there... right? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lol yeah, I need to get a few other parts to put in the gearbox first. I actually put the stock one back in before realizing that I had sold my batteries =( But it does have a trigger now. Link to post Share on other sites
