blobface Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 My search power has failed me and I couldn't find the old thread on this gun years ago, but it seems like this is finally released, just saw it on eHobby, and it looks... can't decide whether I dislike or hate it. http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/umarex-s-t-beretta-arx-160-elite-force-aeg-black.html#.UsWPDPQW0WI Link to post Share on other sites
White_Death1 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Looks like a pregnant and bloated M4 S-System to me. Looks ugly up close but better far away. I'm very confused on it,but leaning toward ugly. Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner168 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I've lusted after one of these for years, looks pretty accurate to me. http://www.berettausa.com/products/arx100-5-56-16bbl-30rd/ Anyways, I'm so skint right now Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Very nice. Shorter barrel would be nice though. I think of all my guns these days in terms of "How well can I transport this on a motorbike?" Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Shorter barrel would be nice though. I think of all my guns these days in terms of "How well can I transport this on a motorbike?" You might get stopped though with that on the side of your bike, but you'd look cool for sure, perhaps with a leather trench coat too. Anyway... I could have sworn when I first saw it on Shotshow videos years ago it used to look a lot less... pregnant.... but clearly I was wrong. It definitely looks like a future rifle with swollen lymph nodes. Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I like it, but only because i really like how the real one works. But it is an ugly rifle. For the ones being feilded by militaries, they have been doing really well. I may pick up a real one if they release a semi auto version or end the ATF. Price is more than id want to spend on a S&T though. This thing isnt very different from their G36 series and they are $100+ cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites
Hopna Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I don't really like the looks of it. It looks way too bulky to me. If that whole rail system was slim and it had a more elegant stock, I would probably like the looks, but now.... meh. Link to post Share on other sites
whiteknight Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 looks like an ugly scar but hey it could grow on me Link to post Share on other sites
Bando Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 when it has a CQB barrel and the tan one is released il get one +1 for new models being made though. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think it's horrendous, and I've heard that the real one has major issues with wandering zero.A pity, really, because some of the concepts (one button reversal of ejection, for example) are pretty cool.

aznriptide859 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 It's way uglier in person. Link to post Share on other sites
Probotector Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Looks hot, better than these ugly M4s that crowd the market. Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 This is one of those RARE cases in which something Italian doesn't have an awesome design. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 This is one of those RARE cases in which something Italian doesn't have an awesome design. This, Italian to me spells sleek and somehow stylish while functional. This looks like a gun that was more designed with the Latin American fascination of out of proportion breasts and backsides. Don't want but I am like others glad to see it isn't just another M4 / AK / MP5 which we already have too many of. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Just noticed its made by S&T, the same company that brought us the flexible Tavor. As they say on Dragons Den.... I'm out. Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 this was on safarasoftair.com a couple of weeks ago. It was a sub 200€ price. Though, no traces of it on their site now. Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I forgot about something reported before. They are supposed to be making a proline(nylon fiber) and sportline(ABS) models. So the sportline will probably feel like their flexible tayver and the proline will probably feel like their G36 series. Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'll finger them at IWA this year. I wasn't impressed by hte mock up model last year though, but you never know. I hope umarex wil bring out the RX4, an improved version of the JLS. Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 that would be interesting to see. but i did like the JLS. it is still pretty far from a bad rifle and the one i had i was able to get to work really well. it was heavy, but still lacking in minor detail. what i really want (for some reason) is a GBB Mx4. i have been contemplating for a while building one from a marui px4.

TheFull9 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Ergonomically I found the RS to be pretty nice, quite light to boot. I'm not sure if it's actually removable, but that cover piece on the 6 o/clock rail (presumably intended for conventional military shooting techniques/stances) has always seemed to be the root of many of the aesthetic complaints.

DarkLite Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 It still looks like a particularly ugly moose *fruitcage*ed a SCAR-L. Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan le Fou Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Please Beretta stop making rifles, you're embarrassing yourself! Link to post Share on other sites
DizBukHaPeter Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I don't think it looks that bad. Alot of the appeal of this rifle is lost in airsoft since most of its features benefit shooters such as being able to switch which side the charging handle and ejection, and the quick change barrel. Looking at it from that perspective, the Beretta is a pretty interesting rifle and its one of the most anticipated new rifles in the US. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Can't get my head around it to be honest.. I've always thought they look fuggly but its a nice concept in RS terms. Good to see some variation too. I'm looking forward to seeing one on the skirmish field I can have a bit of a play with to see how I really feel! If they bring out a RX4 Storm though... I AM SO IN THERE! Link to post Share on other sites
