screamin_weasel Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 wow nto a single pic of a carbine or lfv. where did they all go ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gadge Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Grim: that be a whitefleet 'bombme' bus? As for no AFVs and Carbines i imagine itss because they are not in general service so dont appeal to airsofters wanitng a pukka impression (and generally an infantry one at that). AFV was trialled many moons ago by the ATDU unit (my friend was involved with trying em out) and although the lads army liked them the MOD didnt they cost too much to be worthwhile to issue to tankys and the like at the time.

Grim Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 This specific "bombmebus" wasn't part of the "Hertz" white fleet but it was a death trap all the same the bottom of the sliding door want attached to the rail lol. Luckily that weekend my detachments colour sergeant drove me, Liam and John down in 1 of our lannys. but alas now for the rest of our 6 R weekends were traveling in Corporal savages white minibus. Oh and by the way (Just for the record guys lol) i didn't just find the handgaurd and pocket it. I reported finding it to my Colour Sergeant, then said could i keep it. He said if no one claims it, which they didn't. Seemed fair to me. Problem is now i need the special battery for it seeing as my STAR A2 is the carbine. Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WickedBassie Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Bwahahaaa... my ACOG is fuglier than yours 1st commando The sanding was done quite thorough (ACOG and SA80), doesn't show very wel on photo though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

1st Commando Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Bwahahaaa... my ACOG is fuglier than yours 1st commando <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's because you have those horrid rail adapters why have you got that ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 My A2Carbine with LSW hand guard removed and a full size A2 hand guard (real steel) modded and added Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gadge Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Not sure i'm to keen on that mod. Looks a bit weird IMO. How come you went for a carbine and not an A2 to start with, thought you wouldj have wanted the regular infantry type? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Dunno Gadge, I just like to be different. besides it not like I can't get a longer inner barrel. I was going to get the AG36 launcher as well but thats on the back burner for now. Also its not like a I can't switch it back to its LSW style handguard. Which I might have to do for sunday, because i need the special battery to fit the full hand guards. Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WickedBassie Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 That's because you have those horrid rail adapters why have you got that ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My ACOG wouldn't fit propperly because of the front bolt wich made it tilt up at the front because it lied on the dovetail. So I got myself a rail adaptor, spended the evening sanding my dovetail to make the adaptor fit, and voila! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) I was lucky as mine went straight on and required only minor zeroing too Edited March 17, 2007 by 1st Commando Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lipto Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Another pic of my new beast Would you guys recommend getting a SUSAT? They look the nuts but I hear they arnt too good. Any other makes of SUSAT avalible atm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gadge Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 The probelm with the STAR susat is that its bit too good for airsoft. its a very good non tritium copy but that means that to use it properly you have to get your eye right against the eye shield with is a pig in shooting glasses and worse in goggles or full face. Consequently the site picture is riduclously small. You can counter this by learning to patrol with both eyes open but its not ideal and you have to get used to seeing both sight pictures. Folk will disagree but i find a 4x scope excessive for uk airsoft you're not going to hit anything at the distance you can see. a 1x or 2x red dot with a bigger rear apeture although not 'accurate' would have been *much* more useful.

1st Commando Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I was going to wait for the G&G Susat (which is due in the next few weeks ) but decided to pick up an Acog anyway , only to get confirmation that a load of Acog units have just been delivered to some regiments for use on the L85-A2 . I guess that is timing for you I agree Gadge ,4x is way too powerful for airsoft , especially on an AEG which drops short before reaching the begining of the effective range for a 4x scope Red dots or scopes up to 2.5X mag are perfect unless its for an upgraded sniper rifle with all the bits.

Gadge Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 If it were not for the fact iron sights look 'wrong' on an infanteer loadout i'd have stuck with them, i much prefer them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bengali Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 i love the susat, its one of the best bits of replica gear around. people who complain at the eye relief on it are probably the same people that complain about plastic bodied guns not looking realistic enough. everyone wants everything realistic but when a company produce something uber realistic that doesnt really work for airsoft people complain again. you cant have it both ways. if you like the love of the susat get one and learn to live with the poor eye relief, if you cant learn to live with it, stick to the irons. they still look good.

Gadge Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) I think the point is the eye relief is poorer than that of the real deal. Having to compound this with the neccesity of distancing the eye form the rubber pad becasue of goggles only makes it worse. Having fired both a real one *and* an aeg version i'm positive you get a bigger site pic with the real deal. Even tkaing the rubber pad off (like you can do on an NBC shoot when eye relief is poor for the real steel) doesnt realy help. Edited March 17, 2007 by Gadge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Problem is Gadge you dont find a great abundence of real steel SUSATs on ebay for cheap every day do you, other wise every rifle i own with the exception of my L96 would have a SUSAT. I'm sure i would of found a way to mount it to my M4 lol. Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gadge Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) Not cheap when they do come up on the surplus market either and the tritium point hardly ever works... Now if i could get a 'lost' cws for night games i'd be happy! Edited March 17, 2007 by Gadge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turner Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hi. Im looking to buy an SA80 AEG. Could anyone tell me what companies make them and the pros and cons they each have.
