-TU--33ker 0 Posted October 18, 2003 Sexiest weapon ever! I wonder how much it will cost... Not that I ever would be allowed to buy one here in Germany. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted October 18, 2003 Cool. Anyone know of any other upcoming releases? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoonieRat 0 Posted October 19, 2003 I think they're all more expensive than the Å100 mark . I've seen some crappy Uzis around for Å70+, but that was 5 years or more ago! And the point being they are no good as a main weapon (Assault/Sniper~rifle), OK for a back up if they're not the 'mini/toy' kind, but a 1911 would be better IMO ...

Guest DKM-jaguar Posted October 19, 2003 I saw some pics of an M14 on a link i found on arnie's airsoft, it was really realistic looking. Â Also some news about an M24 being made. I'll try to find the link again. Edit: turns out it was ON Arnie's airsoft. http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/beta/html/ I suggest you look at the other links too, it's a cool site.

SolidSnake-(SNK) 0 Posted October 19, 2003 Hi, i'am thinking abouth bying a Airsoft gun, but my friend said that these guns are crap, he has newer tryed one but he says that the power of these weapons are to low and the bullets travels to slow. Is this true, or is he joust full of BS? I'am thinking of buying a AEG Marui Colt M4A1 with a red dot sight, is this a good gun, and how far can you shoot with this one?

Milkman 1 Posted October 19, 2003 You should ask your friend what type of airsoft gun he was shooting. If it was some crappy springer, he might get that impression, but if he fired an AEG he is full of crap. A Mauri M4 can shoot about 100 feet accuratly, then the bb's drop off. It also matters what your hopup setting is. I would say it is a good choice for a gun, but it matters where you are located. Are you in Northern america of Europe, Australia etc?

If you intend to practice airsoft combat, then yes. If all you want to do is shoot targets then I'd say no, they're not accurate enough in their grouping(plastic BB's have a tendency to 'curl' [in my limited experience] they're too inconsistant in weight/density~balance. Though 'Crossman' may make a 'superior' lead BB for target practice maybe?): get an air rifle for targets...You can get some nice looking 'military looking' air~rifles (if not replicas: I think there's an AK model out now. I hav'nt looked for a while) if you're into the look of the gun as well. 'Skan' (UK firm I think) did a loverly looking precharged air gun that had a 'slide' pistol~grip action, that ever so slightly resembled a ThomsonSMG. It was quite expensive though and meant for ratting more than targets ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Necromancer- 0 Posted October 21, 2003 A Mauri M4 can shoot about 100 feet accuratly... in stock... no.. I've tried out a stock TM M4A1 and the BB's go everywhere than the direction you are aiming at!  which resulted in a blue mark on my forehead    Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've tried out a stock TM M4A1 and the BB's go everywhere than the direction you are aiming at!  which resulted in a blue mark on my forehead    Upgraded to 400 fps, my bad. A hundred feet might be a little genrerous, more like 70 feet within a 5 sq foot radious, with no crosswind. BTW, Is there any big difference between the M4/M733/XM-177E2?

Grey Fox 0 Posted October 22, 2003 BTW, Is there any big difference between the M4/M733/XM-177E2? The XM is just about the same from what I've seen except it lacks the flat top receiver and doesn't shoot 300 FPS stock. The M733 has an even shorter barrel than the M4, and lacks the flattop upper-receiver. Both the XM and 733 shoot about 270-278. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted October 22, 2003 I normally don't like editing people's posts but decided to do that rather than apply a post restriction this time. I assumed I was clear enough in my last post, I guess not, discuss Airsoft only, not the legality, or morality, or any other such thing, do not discuss "battles of wits" etc. Next time I will post restrict and increase warning levels.

Major Fubar 0 Posted October 22, 2003 Just a quick (slighty OT) question: does anyone know if M14 (either real or airsoft) are manufactured with a black synthetic stock? I'm sure I've seen pics of them before, but I can't find any on the web...maybe I am thinking of a Mini-14? TIA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schoeler 0 Posted October 22, 2003 The M-14 is made with a black synthetic stock. I'll see if I can find a link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Milkman 1 Posted November 6, 2003 Yep, the AK47 in the last pic is missing its end piece on the barrel too. Netherless, great pics Necromancer, I like the helmet. And by the way, were are you located? All of your pics always seem to show the fields all muddy and mushy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt. Stryker 0 Posted November 6, 2003 you all play wearing too much crap. If you get shot in the webgear or in a thich part of your jacket you can hardly tell especially if you have adrenaline running through you. Before our team played all decked out like that but we adventaully dumped it all and played AS the harccore way: pants, a camo shirt, body camo, and boots. Its really fun and makes you think twice of even getting shot in the arm. then again nobody likes my gun cause its 400fps Airsoft is so awesome. Also try doing just pistol games (gas pistols) its even more fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
