nikoneko Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Star is coming out with a AG36 grenade launcher with handguard and sight. Still can't tell if it's side loaded or front loaded like the Smokey's one which wasn't too impressive...I would think that they would make it side loaded but their AK launcher was also front loaded...hmmm? http://starairsoft.com/ Link to post Share on other sites

Stoney Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 thats nice now if only they did a K length one Link to post Share on other sites
Dodger_013 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 The AG36K type only has a shorter barrel not a shorter handguard like the regular G36K,so you can still make a K type just need the K barrel and flash hider. Link to post Share on other sites

Megalomaniac Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 easy there spanky how much do we even know about this kit? If its front loading its no better only cheaper (probably) than the smokies one. Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Well aparrently Guarder picked up their GP30 (or 25...they look the same) and sold them under their name, and they'll only do that if its a quality product. So far, STAR and King Arms are doing great things... Link to post Share on other sites
Coop Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 the GP-30 (real steel) is loaded from the front. The Star brand Airsoft replica mimics the real deal. Link to post Share on other sites
oikoik Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 First person to mount one on an L85 gets a beer <{POST_SNAPBACK}> there were two of us trying to do this a while back. thats why i bought a home-made conversion aeg acx l85 and the other chap was modding his springer. we got talking to a guy who said he could make up the foregrip used on the sa80ugl but it all turned out to be a scam of sorts. the smokey's ag36 had come out, the other chap got it and tried it and the dimensions were all wrong - it looked like smokeys had made it by sight instead of measuring a real one. [iirc anyway..] since the foregrip deal fell through we tried other ways. the other chap got a spare dragon arms G36 long foregrip and mounted it on his l85, and it just looked a bit wrong. by that time we both gave up. shortly after the airsoft club l85 became a reality, and then a time after that the academy l85 aeg production restarted.. the star project might give us some new impetus.. but a reasonably accurate-looking foregrip would still be a stumbling block..

Catchv22 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Hmmm... I suddenly feel an urge to sell my M4 and get an Academy L85A1... Link to post Share on other sites
Justhandguns Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Yeah, mounting it on the L85 would be cool. Hmmm... I suddenly feel an urge to sell my M4 and get an Academy L85A1... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to post Share on other sites
Dodger_013 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 New pics on the site confirm it does load from the side...sweet. Link to post Share on other sites
flipsnip Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 why do they do this to us! ive just splashed out for a third mp5 and now i need a g36! damn those manufacturing genious! Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy_Harry Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I know, I've been going for a cam15a2 rifle for a while now, even more so since I recently acquired an M870 shotgun and have alway wanted to have an m16/m870 masterkey since I first saw predator but now...those l85s are looking damn tempting... underslung grenade launcher and a shottie as back up...manly...

oikoik Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 as you can see in the picture, the foregrip is quite a large part of what visually makes up the sa80ugl, not just adding the star ag36 [which is about 3 times the cost of the original aeg..] this is what myself and others were trying to achieve ever since the first few photos of the sa80ugl started popping up.

Hissing_Sid Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Ummm..... Regarding fitting that to an Academy SA80, it'd sure make changing the battery interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
oikoik Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 just depends on how you'd do it i guess - certainly an opportunity for more space ..perhaps.. another stumbling block was the fragility of the plastic used on the acx l85 - i think it needs some kind of reinforcing within the body to be able to take the weight of whats being added to the front. an old compilation of ugl pics Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be concerned about bolting that to the front of an Academy SA80 too. Dunno if you've seen one in bits. It's got a sort of box-section reinforcer for the front part of the barrel. Even so, it still only attaches to the receiver with a couple of screws. The gun, itself, is pretty solid but I wouldn't be keen on having that hanging off the front while I supported the gun only by the pistol grip. Link to post Share on other sites
oikoik Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 ^ thats the custom jobby. by 'acx' i usually mean academy [i'm pretty sure i do..] the asc [airsoft club] would also need reinforcing, though it does feel stiffer and more solid than the acx, it still isnt as solid as.. it should be perhaps. while smoeone did attach the dragon arms g36 long foregrip onto their l85 - it just didnt look right - either the dimensions are off on the academy, or they are on the g36 part, or the g36 is quite a bit deeper than the l85 and it just looked completely wrong.
