NeoVeNoM Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 the New G36 jg costs about as much as the Ares. At least where I buy them. Don't know for others. Hey, if you can do it, like I said before, that means anything in between those ROF and power levels would be build-able! So in general ARES can be counted as having aftermarket support, or are you saying that their stock parts in your experience are easy to get? Not necessarily. Ok, after market support should be better, especially on accessories. If you see their site it's mind blowing they don't sell anything in the big 3 HK shops. Or is it only for domestic use? I don't know. I take my time researching regarding parts, and some parts I just make myself based on the actual function on the part. Regardless of what the PDR will be on the inside, players will still want to open it and fiddle with it. Link to post Share on other sites

The Ares being around the same price as a JG. Cheapest Ares G36 I found on WGC is USD 204 and most expensive JG G36 I found was USD 141 Don't think there's a 'domestic use' issue here with Ares parts, it's just hard to get a hold of from what I understand, but I won't go further, already derailing the thread as it is Link to post Share on other sites
SOUTHPAWMIKE Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I know the old estimates for a release on this thing were June-July. That appears to not be the case. Anyone know anything about when these will hit the market? Link to post Share on other sites
starburst Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Last estimated date was August some time I believe, this happened with the Masada where the release date was pushed back a few times. Link to post Share on other sites
SOUTHPAWMIKE Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 August is good. August is my birthday. Now I know what to get myself as a present. Apologies for asking. I merely skimmed this thread, not wanting to get caught up in the ARES discussion. Link to post Share on other sites

Altogether costed me 150€ including shipping and taxes. Umarex nowadays are S&T AEG's. Friend of mine used to sell JG G36c for 80€ in his store a couple of years ago. other stores at that time asked 120-160€. Chinese is mostly ASG or Cybergun. Prices vary heavily depending on where you buy from. Even for high end AEG's. So anyone know if there will be a DE version of this PDR? Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Nothing been announced thus far regards other colours. To be honest, as with ACR and FPG, this seems like the ideal candidate for a paint job to me. Nice big flat surfaces, not too complicated in shape like an AR or AK; bit like a G36 or P90 in that respect. Link to post Share on other sites

Chinese is mostly ASG or Cybergun. It's because of the stupid ASG/CyberGun charging extra on you guys Link to post Share on other sites

DarkLite Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I hope this thing can take 14mm barrel attachments. But to be honest, even if it didn't I'd still probably get one. Link to post Share on other sites

adas1223 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 haha, yeah. I picked up a smith and wesson SD9 VE last week. My research concluded 1911's are infamous for bad reliability. Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 My research concluded 1911's are infamous for bad reliability. That's quite a claim for a gun that has survived 100 years of warfare... On topic, I will be interested in seeing if this Magpul release will have a better quality than their Masada.
