As for HK416 being used in Iraq, that's only one unit probably for evaluation. You H&K ninjas really jizz over anything my by H&K Link to post Share on other sites
Bottlelot Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 He must feel speshull! Notice he is not wearing an Interceptor either! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh noez CIRAS FTW!!! Yeah he's got the CIRAS instead. Works for me. Link to post Share on other sites

Second, Sopmod and Crane go hand in hand. Its called a SOPMOD Crane stock. So basically, i'll call it whatever I want thanks. It's more commonly referred to as SOPMOD by real shooters, and not people who only have experience with airsoft(you). Crane is more common terminology of airsofters. While it's not wrong, neither is Sopmod. Third, it's not to blurry for me, maybe you need glasses. I can see it fine, thanks. Edited July 1, 2006 by bigphish038 Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Calm down, Turbo. For Hojo's sake, the man was making light, as indicated by the smilie. Your reaction is completely uncalled for. I'd neg rep you for it. (If I hadn't already neg repped you for the 'Humor' thread.) And I don't neg rep or pos rep lightly, boyo. Link to post Share on other sites

I can see it fine, thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, I know it's commonly referred to as THE "Sopmod" stock, but for the sake of clarification in a airsoft forum. I should rephrase as LMT Sopmod stock. I have seen too many airsofters throw the term sopmod stock around way too much, sometimes they mean the Crane stock, others they might refer to the G&G replica ACE "meat tenderizer" stock. And please don't jump to conclusion that I only have experience with airsoft. As for taking off one of my reputation points, I could care less, since you can't seem to take a little joke.

bigphish038 Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 (edited) Joke? Kinda seemed like you were givin' me a little attitude when you said that =) so no, no hard feelings, ill fix that -1 tomorrow =) Edited July 1, 2006 by bigphish038 Link to post Share on other sites
LoneWolf Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 That is a HK416, but if that pic is'nt blurry, you sir have VERY low standards of quality. Cheers, Mike ™ Link to post Share on other sites
keyserSOZE Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Oh noez CIRAS FTW!!! Yeah he's got the CIRAS instead. Works for me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> are you sure? looks like a RAV to me. It looks like there is a zippered back panel. the pouches also look like paraclete. Link to post Share on other sites
HaVoC Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 The shoulder pads looks CIRAS-like, which is what I first thought. You can see the sort of 'tunnel' that the pad fits through, then the pad itself. The back-panel does look a little odd but that black line may be caused by other things, I suppose.

Titleist Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Regardless H&K fanboys are creaming themselves while the rest of the world rolls its eyes. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that they refine the product down to the point of excellence, then jack the price up so high per unit that no one could give a rat's *albatross* about the gun anymore. Happened before, will happen again. As you can tell I'm not a fan of H&K as a company. Met them before, found their service to be awful on a scale I've never seen before.

The guns may be good, but everything else sucks *albatross*, starting with prices, there is no such thing as a LE discount when buying less than 500pieces...

PlasticMag Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 It's being used with other units too, not just the 101st. Still would take an AK over it any day. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm don't bash H&K weapons at all, I just think that American weapons don't get the credit they deserve. I have nothing against the term "German engineered" but American Engineered is right up there with them. H&K mania (the civilian version of it) is helped by movies and video games.

Wraith18A Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Also, that's not the 101st. If you notice, that patch is on the guy's right arm. That means, that the 101st was his first unit that he was engaged in combat with. If you'll note, no one else in that picture has the 101st on their arm. Also, I don't even think that the 101st is in Iraq. Isn't it the 4ID and 1MEF? Link to post Share on other sites
