Cyber Soldier Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Well that's obvious. Everyone should have at least one AK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyMoFo Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 i have the L86 with a blowback unit which i have yet to install, love it to pieces, but i need a susat or ACOG, but i havnt the moneis, anyways pics up soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fatJoe Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Im thinking of purchasing the blowback unit for my L86, let me know if its worth it please mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydogim Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 mate dont i have heard bad things about it, plus its more hassle, breaks easy, my mate tried it and it failed a lot. Its not needed it looks cool but to much effort to sort it hope this helps and remember only my opinion and from what ive seen cheers john Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackwire Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I heard the G&G A2 was given a terrible review and the blowback function either constantly breaks or causes problems. So... who knows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Little para Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yes it is true that the G&G blowback units on the L85s are bad but if you unhook them they are ok but small pieces still break and fall into the gearbox, a friend bought an A1 when they first came out in japan or HK and sice sending his off to be repaired because of the pieces falling into the gearbox, its a great gun, better thatn the star because it doesnt constantly ###### out on you like my brothers L85 does.

sekiryu Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 The carbine is ghey, get the rifle or the L86. What's wrong with it? I think it looks cool... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maccrage Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 It looks good. Then you have no eyelashes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cyber Soldier Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 ^Yup^ Also I don't think there is a military or civilian fighting unit in the world that uses it (not sure) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sekiryu Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Why can't they just include the SUSAT with all of the L85s? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yeager Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Why can't they just include the SUSAT with all of the L85s? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whats wrong with the sexy iron sights? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sekiryu Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 The shape of the carry handle just looks awkward on the L85 to me...looks almost flimsy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Hearst Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 ... better thatn the star because it doesnt constantly ###### out on you like my brothers L85 does. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry, but the Star does ...what?! A little more details about the problems would be very helpful! I bought my Star last october, since then I fired about 1000-1200 shots without any problems... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 back to some pics (being a pics thread) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gadge Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 The susat isnt standard as its an infantry sight, most the army, (the corps and services) use the iron sights, its only teeth arms get Susat. And you could get a slap for using the iron sights as a carrying handle cos it can bugger your zero up... despite what it was obvisouly designed to be used for, not a good idea to be seen doing it...

Gadge Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) Did you guys actually put tape over your eyes when you took the picture?...! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes it was running joke. We were all on a course at Catterick and everybody was reading Andy McNabb style ball ocks war porn and trying to outdo each other being comedy 'warry'. Hence the 'special forces' blacked out eyes pic with electrical tape, in no way did we intend for anyone to think it was real censoring... For the record i personally think blacking out eyes on pics *especially* if you're not a serviceman is a bit lame... we were being lame on purpose. It particulalry amuses me with airsofters... do they think PIRA have a hit list of dangerous AEG owners? It doesnt makeyou look elite it makes you look like your on a sex offenders register .
