While I'm all about gimmicks, isn't a Glock 18 that fits in a pocket and can fire full-auto and can accept rail accessories and a stock called... a Glock 18?

Firekitten

Yes... but it has a magpul logo... it makes it totally different...


No, well, jokes aside, the concept is its foldable... concealable, and 'looks like something else' as promo material about a year ago said for the real deal, 'it looks like a battery powered flashlight you can take with you when you put your trash out'.... yes, because your average suburban mom needs a full auto sub machine gun to fight off the hoards of undead / muslims between her and the sidewalk...

Like nearly every 'covert' firearm, theres a way to find them... generally by having a look inside that oh so gun shaped flashlight and checking

Fixed that for you Shane

The magic phrase is "rail accessories", and it equates to the age old saying "a fool and their money ... "


As for ridiculous notions of guns being inferior due to being perceived as ugly ... it's down to person asthetic taste. A gun is a gun, and if it was the difference between life & death you wouldn't twice about letting it become your best friend once it worked. After all, there's no other excuse for the FAMAS .... Fortunately airsoft isn't about life and death, so the argument only boils down to personal asthetic taste.

the sa80 isn't remotely fat... your masadas are chunkier... Infact its slim and angular.... like a model.... the only place masada's could model is in a plus size catalogue. :P (to use your own analogy against you)

Nah, Sorry, Speculation.,:)





Annnd, getting back onto the topic of airsoft news, Some nice new bits from CA, most likely the usual cr@p internals but they look nice all the same.,:)

I saw this thing in the flesh over in Germany at the gun show. Its gas/Co2 operated so it remains to be seen how well it'll perform.,:)

Firekitten

Mm, folding the stock and removing the 'tacticrap' thats usually on it to win... clever.


And moving on... stop lambastic CA internals... you practically make a profession out of it. It's opinion only. the display as fact is misleading. Especially as CA gearbox design has changed recently,... you can't possibly drag the same opinion accross different systems.

Yeah?, Here ya go then, The "new" CA gearbox, with the same cr@p inside, except it has a locking bolt catch now...

lol - I've actually noted that my G36C with the stock folded is quite substantially shorter than my Tavor too.

With the silencer and extended barrell, it's exactly the same length.

Firekitten

ah, here we are.... the masada school of elitism... if it doesn't have ball bearing spring guides, and magpul stamped on the screw heads, he doesn't want to know....

That Ca gearbox looks entirely ah.... normal? good? fine? You cannot possibly be suggesting to me that I should agree with your assessment that its bad, based on a single picture of an open gearbox? I thought your argument was based on performance? I've seen gearboxes like that run for years with no problem.

If you bothered to look at the site you linked, you'd see that not only was that m4 variant, a NEW Ca 8mm gearbox, but that its also Blowback... and lets not forget that the blowback gearbox is NOTHING like the one you linked to, or the quality of internal parts.

I had to fold the stock to get it to stand up.,:D

The tavor is deceptively long though, especially if you are wearing a vest with shoulder padding.,:)

I'd like to remain entirely neutral on this topic but I think he was showing that he's had the newer type open rather than trying to point out any obvious flaws.

Additionally, whilst I'm all for blowback the world does not need more Meh4s. Give some other guns some love people.

If you wish to discuss CA internals please start a thread about it in the relevent section


Thread is Airsoft News guys, try to remember that

Firekitten

Well, even if that is his own photograph, he's clearly not proven anything.

As I mentioned, and you quoted, thats not the new type of CA gearbox.

Now before he says 'I've had x number across my desk' I think this belongs in another topic...

yeah thats how Magpul roll alright.

heres something people have done for years, lets reverse engineer it & fabricate it from a new polymer & make a load of money off a load of eejits.

Who did the original in Russia? I always thought it was a Stoner design.
One of the original designs:


Still though if you got that, a bad auld pennies rugby jersey & a quiff you could start slinging "Nuke" to all the junkers along the boardwalk.
Robocop2-stylee

Its a stoner alright from 1986 its an ARES concept copied by the russians and rehashed as a magpul

lol - love this!!

Stercus Accidit

Folding smg's have been around since just after wwII, by no means is it a new concept.

The mat49 for example.

The magpul yoke is a nice novelty, looks like a bit of fun and could be a decent backup with a hi-cap gbb mag. I look forward to seeing one.

Phractal

I actually saw plans once for a RS one of those, and watched a build online. I reckon it should be bloody easy to build a airsoft one- after all, Its only a box! I think I would MUCH prefer one made of welded sheet metal... Simply because it aint MagPul and because I get the satisfaction of building it myself.

Masada

Some more multicam goodness, (also availible in ACU and dessert Marpat). Can you say Gucci?

And some new Metal Air Nozzles for the Masada over on RSOV. Defo a reccomended mod if you have the A&K Maada.,:)

Indeed.

Hint: If your arms are cold, maybe you might want to wear this amazingly simple thing called ... a shirt with long sleeves, as opposed to either a vest or a t-shirt.

/slaps face in disbelief :eek:

Well holy cold-arms Batman! Who'd have thought it ....


Sorry Masada, but in the history of pointless-ness, that is truly pointless.
