oRb Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 My latest addition! Bomber M16A2 Shorty GBB with Burst I thought my G&P AEG A2 Burst Receiver is nice but this Prime Receiver is mind boggling cool! Great dark grey finish. Even the magazines fit perfectly without any wooble. It makes alot fun playing with this beauty! I decided to give the Bomber New Type WA Magazines a chance and they work great. No flaws yet. My plans for now is to finish my Desert Storm Gear. Regards orb Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Can anybody say, Recce? That said, does anyone else that owns a DYTAC barrel think they're abnormally heavy? Link to post Share on other sites
Roecar Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I'm going to be building an exact copy of your Recce around my Prowin when I get a chance. Awesome work aznriptide. Link to post Share on other sites

the roob Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 pretty handsome patrol rifle riptide! I'm still super jealous of your optics setup, but I like my reece rifle a little rougher around the edges: I have a stubby foregrip in the mail, then I'll probably start saving for a scope like yours.

demoncase Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Just finished building this today. It's supposed to emulate one of the those cool piston-driven M4 Commando's, as preferred by the PMCs. Link to post Share on other sites
slu Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) Can anybody say, Recce? That said, does anyone else that owns a DYTAC barrel think they're abnormally heavy? Compared to what? I think they are light as hell! The 16" DYTAC I have on an SPR upper is terrific. Despite the barrel being 4" longer than the 14.5" (there's a 2" extension to make it an SPR), I can steady it with one hand on the pistol grip. If I tried to do that with the steel barreled 14.5", I'd get tired real fast. Of course, this goes for any aluminum barrel, not just the DYTAC. For all practical purposes, aluminum outer barrels are just better: cheaper and lighter. I still like the steel ones for "realism". Otherwise, excellent looking shooter!

uscmCorps Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I agree with Slu. The DYTac barrels are insanely light. Madbull barrels are light too ... but lack the flair of the DYTac barrels. Drake: great pic! Link to post Share on other sites
Vercingetorix Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I dunno, it depends on the quality of the steel I think. VFC barrels are made out of steel, probably really nice good grade steel knowing VFC, and are super light (kinda like how the real SR15 is supposedly super light). And Dytac makes 16in barrels? Straight profile? For TM style AEGs/ non PTWs? If only they made 11.5in barrels Link to post Share on other sites

The VFC 16" barrels are surprisingly light. Everyone who picks up my SR15 is always shocked by how light the gun is. I always thought it was because they replicated the pencil barrel profile from KAC. Link to post Share on other sites

luvs2shoot Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I don't believe DYTac make 16" barrels for any platform. Actually, the 16in Silver Barrel for TM based M4's that Aznriptide has is a Dytac. He bought it before I could from a member on ASF who claims that Dytac made the 16in Silver Barrel for TM based AEG's specially for AirsoftGlobal. (that's why Redwolf, WGC, etc don't have the 16in listed) -Shin Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 ^Yea, I stole it from him LOL. The guy said DYTAC no longer makes the 16" barrels anymore or something (at least not on their site). Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Interesting. I should ask Dytac about that. I could use a 16" barrel for a build I'm doing. Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I feel they're a nice balance between carbine-length and rifle-length barrels. The shorter 10" or 12" barrels would probably be better for CQB builds. Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 They made the 16" for GBBRs and PTW. I got one on my WOC(mid-length gas tube too). I want G&P or Prime to make steel ones....but that hasn't happen yet... Link to post Share on other sites
slu Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Here is the 16" DYTAC I recently purchased for WA platform: http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Accessories_Outer_Barrels_GBB_Dytac_16inch_mid_length_Barrel_Assemble_for_WA_Western_Arms_M4_Series_Black.htm Redwolf has both the black and silver version in stock. But you're right, I don't see one for AEGs anywhere. rm: http://www.gp-web.com/en/newspop.php?nid=1544 It's 16" and steel, but has those KAC dimples, which you may find cool. An AEG version is also listed on their site. Link to post Share on other sites

aznriptide859 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Does the AAC SCAR silencer make this too long? Should I stay w/ the Troy Medieval? Also contemplating if I should get a bipod or not XD. Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 dimple 16" barrel looks interesting....though I'd still prefer the straight heavy one... Link to post Share on other sites
-=OGGY=- Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 azn, I say no bipod and keep the AAC suppressor. The bipod will completley wreak the awesome hispeed looking you have going on now. -OGGY Link to post Share on other sites
luvs2shoot Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Azn, +1 to the no bipod petition Also, i think the barrel is long enough - add any more suppressors and your just compensating haha my $0.02 -Shin Link to post Share on other sites
