Dickens Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 How good does the XM8 look!!! I WANT ONE NOW lol I saw it on ghost recon 2 (i know, its sad lol) and since then i wanted one!! Anyone know wat the base model is for the XM8?? Link to post Share on other sites
arizonabay Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 for the conversion kit it's the g36. In real steel I think they use a salmon... The thing looks retarded Link to post Share on other sites
Longhairedhippy Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 well, there's the GWA conversion kit coming soon for the G36... but thats it. Link to post Share on other sites
Dickens Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 UR JOKIN AINT U??? It looks sweet man! Id buy a G36 just for that, not yet though, cant aford it lol Link to post Share on other sites
happy_cake Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 mmmm... i'm not too sure about it myself, i'd take a SCAR over that any day. what's a SCAR you ask? This is a SCAR i say. sorry, that was a bit gay, really. but still, you get the point Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 I'd take an M8 over a SCAR anyday, although if I had my druthers I'd druther an LR-300 over both. Link to post Share on other sites
Dickens Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 The SCAR is nice mate but SIG rifles have never really floated my boat. H&K all the way lol Link to post Share on other sites
dirty mao Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 G36 > M8. FNC > all. Link to post Share on other sites

Id buy a G36 just for that, not yet though, cant aford it lol <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, I'm serious. I would much rather have the g36 than butcher it into looking like one of those. I can't even use it in Ghost recon 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Dickens Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 LOL but ghost recon 2 is a game! Im sure its better in airsoft form. Dont get me wrong the G36 is nice in itself but the XM8 is somthing else, it looks really cool! Link to post Share on other sites
orca Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Sigh... Well the biggest gripes I got is GWS didn't design their XM8 kit to have the pop-up iron sights and the PCAP atachment points (kinda inportant since there's no Rails to attach anything) don't look to be functional like the real version. HK XM8 Technical Data Sheet It's a shame other 3rd party guys aren't attempting to manufacture this yet, but I think alot of Hong Kong/Taiwan airsoft guys got burned when they all made G36K conversion and not that many sold... Oh well here's hoping someone will come out with a proper XM8 conversion. Link to post Share on other sites

LoneWolf Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 I'd take a M16A4 into battle and trust it. The XM8 looks too plasticy, and the SCAR's front-end is too weak in looks. Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites
HaVoC Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Can I just ask why this is in the 'News' forum... It's not news... My opinion: If you were on the receiving end of an AK47, you'd be scared. If you were on the receiving end of an M16, you'd be scared. If you were on the receiving end of an (X)M8, you'd think it was going to fire sucker darts at you...

Dickens Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 I will agree that it looks weak, but i suppose (or i am hoping) someone else will make a good XM8 conversion kit. Ah well we can dream. And it doesnt look like a toy.... id be worried if someone pointed one at me :-( lol Link to post Share on other sites

Ah well we can dream. And it doesnt look like a toy.... id be worried if someone pointed one at me :-( lol <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't mean that the kit looks lame. I mean that the real gun looks lame. On top of which hasn't the performance on the things been incedibly poor as well(not to get into too much real steel performance)? So, we've got an airsoft kit based off of a gun that no one is using, that is a real steel underperformer supposedly, that looks like a fish/squirt gun being made while there are tons of proven, used and cool guns that are yet to see the slightest light of day. grrrr Link to post Share on other sites
Dickens Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Calm down lol i shouldnt have said anything, would it make u feel better if i told u im not gettin it anyway, ive got my sights set on an ICS M4 (solid stock), so dont worry lol Link to post Share on other sites

happy_cake Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 if the US army adopt this as their next rifle system, they'll be the greatest army in the world- everyone they fight will be pissing themselves laughing at the prancing twats with their toy guns...

DarkLite Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 You realise the XM8 is a G36, but improved. So saying a G36 is better is pretty stupid/ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The XM8 is NOT an improved G36. NO! NO! NO! A THOUSAND TIMES NO! IF ANYONE SHOULD SAY THAT EVER AGAIN I SHALL BEAT THEM TO DEATH WITH A TROUT! The XM8 is just a G36 put into a gay looking frame. The americans liked the g36 but didn't want to use a non-american gun, thus the XM8. (You can actually see that the XM8 takes G36 mags) However, the XM8 is a real underperformer in real-steel apparently. Link to post Share on other sites
