Mega!!;)
I saw that Real Sword were making a biggie about going to IWA '11 - glad to see it was with good purpose. I've really become a fan of RS since picking up one of their AK's.

Definitely on my must have list

I love you Real Sword. The Type 88:), they had to do it really to go with the Type 97s.

Also their M4 and M16 AEG range built to mil spec size, don't know if or how they managed that with the pistol grip. But they look great, finally some serious competition to G&P.

Some new G&G Products up there, look really nice

prowin have released the version 2 version of their 20 rd short mag for wa m4 style gbbrs
http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/magazines/rifle-smg-magazine/for-gbbr/prowin-gi-20-30rd-gas-magazine-for-wa-m4-gbb.html


I own one of the older short mags and i recently bought 3 of the standard v2 mags to supplement my older prowin mags and they are really good, they seem noticeably a bit lighter than the originals and the roller wheel on the top there is bigger. internally they seem fairly similar.

They seem to have tweeked the spring and spring follower i think, the odd time my older mags they'd jam and i'd have to diassemble the whole mag to get the spring back in line, i've yet to find this happen with the new ones. No leaks and they lock back everytime on an empty mag and sit very well into my 2 g&p lowers without modification.
expensive? Yes but you get what you pay for:)

Pretty much the same price as the v1 mags. I've got six of the v1 beasties although not had a chance to skirmish since my m4 is not in a skirmishable state (yet). I still need to finish off modifying the bolt release to allow the mags sit lower to allow the bolt cycle freely. Had it almost done months ago but just been lazy about it.

How do you find the mags sitting with the G&P lower? And do you have an AGM to compare with? Would be curious to know it's an AGM thing, or just an AGM-being-so-crap-that-the-receivers-are-not-consistent thing.

MerryDespot

Lemming - I'm still using a stock agm receiver, and I don't have this problem - either with the prowin or the crappy agm mags. Bolt cycles without issues and with a replaced bolt (lightweight versus the pot metal standard version) the cycling is nice, fast and smooth.
Could just be a receiver inconsistency thing (wouldn't surprise me with agm to be honest).

My g&p WAS my old agm m4 if u know what i mean so i can't really say lol. As regards the g&p lowers it's funny, i have 2, one VLTOR and the other with colt trades, you'd imagine they'd have the exact same dimensions with regards the magwell etc but the colt one was def a good bit tighter with the prowin mags for some reason, the v1 ones anyway particularly when i started using it first,the gun has seen a good bit of use since and the v2 mags fit perfectly. just zero problems really.

I have 2 g&p gas mags as well, one of them is the pmag type and not happy with them at all, they don't sit as well and gas consumption is poor imho and both of them started leaking after relatively little use both from the outlet valves. Both show signs of poor qc with poor quality o rings and crappy allen screws. i'd nearly go with the old agm mags before relying on them

looks like the ICS M1 and M3 will be hitting shops @june/july

thanks puding! you the man!

Hande hoche!

Not sure if this qualifies as news but Airsoft World have RPGs at a very nice price http://www.airsoftworld.net/russian-mania-workshop-rpg-7-full-metal-and-wood-rocket-launcher.html

Puding

shhhhh don't tell everyone spotted that yesterday, need to wait until next week and might hopefully pick on up as i;ve had one on my shopping list for some time

Hande hoche!

Sorry Puding. Been tempted to pick one up myself but inevitably will need to grab a scope,sling and other accessories so am in two minds about it.

Puding

if you not 100% into accuracy the western german rpg slings and covers are dirt cheap even on ebay, if you looking for period soviet that is where the price starts going up, rpg sights can be hit and miss, as normal stay clear of ebay and keep an eye on the red alliance forum and you can normally find one for under 100usd

I just saw 'has channel for inner barrel' RPG sniper rifle! lol

Would love an RPG7 for the collection. it would make a lovely replacement to the didgeridoo in the corner of the room.

But they're so impractical, I could never see the attraction.

It's for a collectors piece, practicality does not come into it. I don't consider any M203/AG36/GP30 launcher practical in airsoft but they look cool mounted on an AEG.

its for airsoft, when did practicality start coming into it? we run around in 3x as much gear as we really need

but on a serious note, if your looking at accurate impressions and themes or even for a prop things like this can really add another level

Firekitten

Depends if you regularly skirmish against armour, or helos.... Or you're bullets, where an RPG7 would be a conversation piece for a dinner party...:rolleyes:

Well I don't! I pack light!

But it is an expensive prop, try the panzerfaust instead!

Firekitten

Pudding is a giant... he can carry an rpg as a prop with the ease of most mere humans crying a dummy grenade on thier webbin lol.

vlad2009

is the weight of it simmilar to a real one?

tbh at that sale praise your look at both being about the same when you factor in everything

it all depends at how your coming at airsoft and what type of events you go to

i picked up the rpg 22 for the next event as a prop as one objective was to attack an MSR with possible vehicles, this stuff just adds something, the killer is the deac version are a fraction of the cost but im still looking to confirm there status before i import one, i do not think its a problem as i've seen the vehicle guys at shows over hear with deac western versions but just need to confirm everything first



also some guys from the last event brought there clone version along as well

real is about 7kg replica is 4kg, difference comes with the warhead the launcher itself is about right

MerryDespot

Ahh - Belgian camo. It's so hard to take them seriously, even when they have a RPG launcher...
Maybe that's the point...
