Catchv22 Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Most of the manufacturers suggested prices are higher than what they sell for in Hong Kong. Still, 500 is very very steep... Link to post Share on other sites
sp00n Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 I always thought the stubby little grip made the AG36 to bulky to be really useful. On the other hand, paying more than 200 dollars for something made by STAR is highway robbery. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 This is why I hate STAR. They always come out with things that I wish I could have for my G36, and make me all excited, then the price turns out to be thrice that of the gun itself. GAh. Link to post Share on other sites
Dodger_013 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 I just wanted to let those interested in the AG36 know,War 4 Toys has em in for $380 you can see it here on the front page. http://www.airsoft-war4.com/ Link to post Share on other sites
Pimpbot Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I looked at the photos of it on Wargamers and it looks like it is side loading - Woo hoo! Link to post Share on other sites
enzo100 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 This is the AG36 with the handguard right? WGC is taking preorders BTW. Link to post Share on other sites
Corporate_Black_Ops Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 My AG36 came through yesterday... ($390 from WGC) This it the first big thing I've had from Star and it wasn't what I expected. The box for a start is understated but well done, the forearm and gas tube sits in a carved polystyrene block which shows it off to its best advantage (I was expecting plates of polystyrene rather than a carved block). First impressions of the launcher? Heavy. It's much heavier than I expected. It has some nice markings (how accurate they are I don't know but...) and it's longer than I thought it would be. I'll try to get some photos and write up something more significant when work doesn't loom over me. Link to post Share on other sites

Robot 2000 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Does the AG36 hanguard accomodate a large battery? Link to post Share on other sites
Corporate_Black_Ops Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 The handguard certainly holds a larger battery than the G&P one... I've yet to try a sub C pack. I'll update you when I do. <Edit> It won't take a standard 7 cell sub C pack but I have a 2700mAh 9.6V AF NiMH in there at the moment and i suspect it would take a 1&1/5AF back which would give somewhere around 3500mAh in NiMH or 2Ah in NiCad... It looks to have been designed to take the wierd cluster battery, the one you need to cut the gas tube up for on the Marui but it's better suited for a nunchuck style than the previous foregrips. One disadvantage with the gas tube, the thread is quite short, the G&P barrel lands on three or four threads at most, I'm going to have to trim the barrel back a little to improve its contact. kronic: I'll let you see her alright... If you're on the other team again I'll let you see the business end of her Link to post Share on other sites
Corporate_Black_Ops Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Sorry, another correction... The G&P outer barrel sits on five or six threads, it still doesn't feel very secure but I was getting it confused a little with another outer barrel I have which has a plain diameter before the threads. Incidentally, for those with G36Ks, the foregrip on the AG36 is longer than the G&P six hole, you'll need to step up to full length if you want your flashhider to be visible Link to post Share on other sites

flipsnip Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Corporate Black Ops any chance of a review on the cards? Link to post Share on other sites
Corporate_Black_Ops Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 It's possible, I'll have to look at some other reviews to see what needs to be looked at... Oh and kronic; somehow I just don't see that as quite as intimidating... Link to post Share on other sites

Corporate_Black_Ops Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 And don't forget that I have a gun that looks cooler too Although it is heavier... I actually only have the same number, 1 x 165 Mosquito Moulds & 2 x 78 King Arms... (and they're really hard to fire on a full load of Green gas...), the other two 78 King Arms rounds are 'Dré's (wasn't there last month; tall, skinny, AK Beta Spetz and MP5SD6 - a right lightfighter) bought in preperation for a later purchase, a CAW revolver launcher...

Corporate_Black_Ops Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Now that's a new tactic... So you shoot until you empty the mag, fire the grenade launcher... Launch your bayonet at the bad guys while at the same time junking the AK... Well it can't really be a bad thing, one less AK in the world and all that And if you think that battery scares me...
