cazboab Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Spotted this today on ebairsoft No price posted yet, apparently it'll be ready at the end of the month, good news for anyone that wants the full thing instead of a madbull almost but not quite m320(hey if its good enough for the Punisher...) to finish off their Diemaco SFW or solid snake impression.

Atsalakotos Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Finally someone got to making this! I just hope its not too pricey... Link to post Share on other sites
Missing Ethics Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Really cant believe its taken this long! Intrigued by the 'partial metal' in the product description - hope the barrel is. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Curiosity, why the fixed pistol grip on the launcher? I can see the logic behind removing it and having it as a standalone weapon, but surely a folding grip or a rail mounted one would be a better idea? Link to post Share on other sites
Bando Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 because it can be removed and used as a standalone weapon system it also should have a removable stock Link to post Share on other sites
Bachelarius Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Can only assume it's there to be used as a vert grip, as demonstrated by this guy: Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 But, that guys just holding the pistol grip...... Link to post Share on other sites
Bachelarius Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Ah, wait, I see the grip you mean, didn't spot that front one, ignore me. Having a slow day Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Finally, another weapon to add to my SEAL kit... Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Nah, i meant the rear one - I can see the front one is folding/removable, but why not the rear one? Same deal with the HK69, I'd find the pistol grip really irritating and in the way... Although I guess the chances of losing a removable one would be pretty high.. Link to post Share on other sites
starburst Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Ask whoever designed it for Heckler and Koch I guess or someone who uses a variant of the real one on their SA80/G36/HK416 (etc). The handfull of times Ive handled an SA80 with one attached it felt pretty natural to hold it via the grip. Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 To clear this one up once and for all: 1) The rear grip is there to stay, because (as can be deduced from the extendable stock) this launcher is meant to be easily taken off and on aagin, to be used as a standalone. 2) The MP7 style front grip is mounted on a rail that itself is mounted on the launcher rail. Sorry to rain on some people's parade (IM sure others will be delighted because now only theyll be able to afford it and they will be "original"): Iron Airsoft products are extremely expensive, just mind the 345$ for a Larue metal body.

Grey_Fox Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I can´t wait for this one! Link to post Share on other sites
Atsalakotos Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Iron Airsoft products are extremely expensive, just mind the 345$ for a Larue metal body. Do they at least have the quality to match that price? Because seeing this on ebair gets me a bit worried. Link to post Share on other sites
ShadowBolt Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 And I was wishing for one to be out on the market about a month ago. Figures I don't have the money... :/ Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Well, if none of you want to keep that grip, i'll happily take it off you Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hmm... This or the B&T GL-06? Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Like chas said, this will be expensive. Plus the GL-06 is way cooler Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 yeah, but you can't use it as an under-barrel GL, now can you? Link to post Share on other sites

kagami Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Iron Airsoft products are extremely expensive, just mind the 345$ for a Larue metal body. Do you fail to recognize Prime WA M4 receivers which run around 500+? Iron Airsoft parts are CNC'd aluminum, their WA receivers are quite the piece of kit. I've owned an Iron Airsoft WA M4 outer barrel and a steel Triple Tap at 32 and 11 dollars respectively. If it is priced that way it is most likely justified. Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 OK, so? A 500$ pearl necklace might be a good deal, but it's still expensive. An F-1 car may be worth every penny it costs, but it's an expensive car. So will this launcher be, despite the quality or not. P.S. Does CNC get you girls or what? What do you need CNC-precision on a friggin launcher, its like the simplest airsoft device there is. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 P.S. Does CNC get you girls or what? What do you need CNC-precision on a friggin launcher, its like the simplest airsoft device there is. Clunge-Netting-Coolness? Still, if it does end up being ridiculously expensive, people will still buy it as always... Like the Ino 1911 and such, it's one of those 'No need for it to be this good or expensive but having one still makes you feel special' things. Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 chas, it's still being expensive, true. But don't you absolutely hate it when you buy something expensive ( let's say you've saved up for it ) and it breaks on you even when you handeled it carefully? CNC doesn't give you guarantees, but overall it should be more sturdy and less likely to break. Link to post Share on other sites
