Cinder Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Actually Cinder, it was .50 Cal McMillan Tactical Anti-Material Sniper Rifle System with a Leupold x16 telescope, here's a picture of the team and the rifle: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Meh, the love is there. Link to post Share on other sites
HeuteGegangen Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 I'm sorry Cinder, I just love getting an opportunity to pull my books out. That was the rifle that made the shot, the other two pairs used 2 C3A1 rifles. God I love having a Canadian citizenship! Link to post Share on other sites
TheRabbit Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 I have heard rumors of this shot being replicated twice recently with a newly designed round, if anyone knows info please post. Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 They do look like a back-breaking piece of ordnance, that's for sure. I love 'em; I think they look ugly but mean (like the SPAS, or the A10 Thunderbolt), and I bet there's always a few 'oohs' and 'aahs' when they're deployed to take out lager cans with extreme prejudice Link to post Share on other sites
Cinder Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 "Coming soon from the same company that brought your GB-TECH, the new VFC M82A1 is a gas-powered monster that is capable of firing an 8mm BB at amazing velocities. Constructed entirely from solid steel, this rifle weighs a whopping 9Kg, which is still a couple Kg short of the real steel version. RedWolf Airsoft is the authorized dealer for VFC and will be carrying this new rifle by the end of May. This M82A1 is capable of using RED GAS and TOP GAS with maximum power potential of over 700fps for certain markets (power will be reduced in accordance with local market laws). Removable magazine is heavy and solid, while the open bolt design reveals a large dummy shell. This is as real as it gets! Stay tuned for more information on this amazing rifle." That's from Redwolf, sounds like no one will be using it. Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Not at THAT velocity (OUCH!) Link to post Share on other sites
Crandall Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Looks like the airsoft version will be able to punch holes in concrete walls just like the real one *rollseyes* Link to post Share on other sites
HawaiiIceMan Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 i got my money on standby for the VFC when it comes out. Yeah my team is making engagment distinces for me (which is alot bigger) when i get it. Ill post up pics when i get it Link to post Share on other sites

I'd get one because its semi and chambered in 8mm, but that power is just redicules. Link to post Share on other sites
HawaiiIceMan Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 700 is really off the chart. The M82 got stupid reach. juss thinkin twice...i think i got a 50/50 on buying it. Other guns may come out or gear. Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost_Rider Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Important point to note: (power will be reduced in accordance with local market laws). It'll be a lot less powerful for us brits. I'm still going for my SL-9 Link to post Share on other sites

sirrith Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 if you're worried about the power, just ask them to reduce it Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 700fps with a 8mm!!!! And it's GBB!!! That's just obscene. Link to post Share on other sites

ColSanders Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Should I spot one of these at a game, I'm getting a personal injury attorney on the phone before we start. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL. Sounds like it'd make a better normal target rifle than an actual airsoft gun... Wouldn't be fun to lug it around personally... not only would you have to carry some sort of serious back up... engagement range minimum... 150 ft...

Arnie Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Just spoke with Henry at WGC about it. RRP is going to be around 1280USD for the complete rifle. Chaps in the USA might like it, but if it's got real decals on it it won't get into the country through customs without them being properly obscured (and the orange import muzzle required under federal law) as being made of steel it'll get jumped on for inspection. 1280USD is a lot to drop on an import that might get crushed.

snake_goth Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 hmm.... still, i want one..... must... convince.... AA... to... stock..... gun... now... to find mag pouch's that'l fit em... Link to post Share on other sites
richie_j Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 now... to find mag pouch's that'l fit em... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thats a very good point. I like a m82, but they're just too darn expensive. Plus they're not very practical. Why lug that upto a sniper's perch, when a m24 would do the job fine (airsoft wise). Link to post Share on other sites
snake_goth Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 its all about intimidation, it means when there standing there like a deer cought in the headlights you can nail em also, i dont mind the weight Link to post Share on other sites
gsquared Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 msrp of US$1280 not too bad if you compare that a fully decked out M249 is in that range as well....We'll see.... Link to post Share on other sites
Cinder Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 The CA249 just got some competition in my book. I'd definately want the velocity to be much lower though. Not to mention, if its gas it'll suck in the winter. The MSRP is $1280 eh? That probly means about $1100 retail from HK. WGC has a nice habit of covering trades with hardcore tape, leaving them completely unaltered. I may yet get a M82. >< I <3 .50cal, more than a friend..... Link to post Share on other sites

IronWolf Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Just realized that it weighs 9 kilos! while its nice that its close to the real steel, doesn't it seem a tad over kill for an airsoft gun? Link to post Share on other sites
HawaiiIceMan Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 yeah im juss realizing that too. Havin second thoughts on gettin this now. ITs not just the weight but its the mass....wider isnt always better Link to post Share on other sites
