Is the a&k the same as the s&t?

yes, from everything i've seen, s&t are a wholesaler based in the east, they just sell stuff from other company's under the s&t name just like asg does

Lads do G&G have any english language sites?
All I can find are Asian, and as such, not much use.

Yeah, that's the one I was on but I can't seem to get it to work in English. Browser problem perhaps.
So I was wondering if they had an American one for example.

Not to worry so.

Ya must be as it's working fine for me. Here's a link direct to the English site (it might work for you)

Anywhere taking pre-orders of those RS M16s or even a release date. They look sublime and I wouldn't be that big on Armalites in general. My G&P M16A2 will be taking a back seat or promoted to my beater AEG when I get my hands on one of those beauties.

Its at the prototype stage afaik and not available to order, they haven't released any more info than the promo images on their site, I have some pics of the internals on my blog linked in my sig if you are interested. It still hasn't been confirmed how it works internally. There has been some talk or a 500-700 dollar price range, but I don't know how informed that is.

They did have a few display models at the shot show, thought they were almost there production wise from the looks of things. The $500 starting point is about right and expected going by the Type 97s and the R&D costs involved in an all new design, just hope it's not in the mid 600 range. Even they were going for knock down prices at christmas time on ehobby but are back up again.

The only thing is, to me anyway is that no one is really producing high end replica M16s anymore that are not railed to b'jasus. The VFCs have gone ABS, the Stars are gone and Ares have not picked up on the Armalites yet, G&Ps can be hit and miss and have an odd design feature of including a bolt cover or dust cover that does not lock in place a pet peeve of mine or the ones that do have no mock bolt in place. G&Gs are covered in tipex trades and don't seem to offer a vanilla M16 length armalite that I can find anyway.

So as soon as Real Sword get this out the door I can see myself getting one so long as it's less than the $650 mark before shipping and customs that is.

I've spent a bit of time thinking on how it's working and I reckon that the cog that sits proud of the lower receiver cycles the bolt backwards, forcing it against a counter-opposing magnetic force from the buffer tube in the stock. Once the bolt reaches its furthest possible point backwards, the cog has disengaged and the bolt flies forward.

That's my rough idea anyway.


Assuming the above is even remotely true, would be interesting to see what sort of magnetic force is emanating from the gun and what effect would it have on any electronics that might be found nearby.

Ares do have an m4

And the g&p dust cover thing, is because its got the REAL style dust cover retention thingy that is disengaged by the knotch in the real bolt, only, its too big (ie correct size) for a flat airsoft fake bolt to let it close... not a big deal to me, its Always open when shooting, so I dont see a problem myself. my G&P m16 is the best ive owned frankly... love it. Best of the bunch in my view. Untried realsword new design ill wait and see tbh.

On the G&P M16A2 it's fine because there is the sheet metal "bolt" but on the M16A3 model when the dust cover is open the cylinder casing and hopup adjustment wheel is exposed to the elements, don't like that at all, I can see the cover not being able to close at some stage and all sorts of wired and wonderful crap will get in there cause chaos. I don't know what their XM16, A1 and A4 models are like in that regard.

Ares may have an M4 out there, haven't seen it yet but I'd rather an full M16 configuration out of the box and as far as I can see Ares are not producing them atm. I like that some parts on them are real spec size wise.

Given the lack of gear teeth on the bolt carrier, I would guess a piston sits inside it that is pulled back by the teeth. The bolt carrier would most likely push back against the buffer tubes spring assembly, but its rearward movement could be magnetically actuated.
Thats my theory.

desertstorm

That's a nice price, are they any good? On a look out for some new bits for the summer...

-PornStar-

Not in the same league as the Mad Bull nades. But definitely worth the asking price. There is a thread here about them.

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=64643717

I got 6 of them, not expecting amazing performance, just something to have a bit of craic with. If you were considering picking up some, go for the 48 round ones. Because of the temperature here, you wont get much range out of the 96 round. With the 48 round nades, you use the same amount of gas to fire less bb's, which will give you better range. Just don't take them apart until you know exactly what is going on inside them. There are a couple of fiddly bits which you really don't want to lose. Same with all grenades really.

Stercus Accidit

They are tough little things that do the job, the 96 rounders range is pretty bad with a full load of .2s alright, get the 48 rounders if you can or do half loads on the 96 rounders.

Fallschirmjager

just saw g&g gearboxes for 88 dollars (excluding shipping) on wgcshop down from 177 dollars

T4RGET

You say that now. I have one of those MGL's and I can tell you now that it's not a skirmishable piece unless you happen to be rolling into a game in a jeep. It's a dead weight, and a hell of a heavy one at that.

And that's coming from someone who loves grenade launchers to an obsessive point.

For example:

This is my "Yo dawg, we heard you like grenade launchers, so we put some grenade launchers on your grenade launchers, so you can launch grenades while you're launching grenades!" rifle.



And this is, well... this is just proving that grenade launchers can be primary systems. They don't always have to be the under-slung device.

Firekitten

Id skirmish that if there was a reflex on top... *grin*

NakedDex

I'm sure I have a C-More lying around that I could throw onto it. I'd need to find the adaptor plate I made to mount the MP7 onto the MGL again though. Last time I saw it, it was clamping a shotgun to my SR25.

Edit: dammit. Assuming the were using rounds weighing around .58 the bastard thing is putting out around 1.68j on the lighter gas.

Stonewolf

They said about .6 yeah.

It looks (and probably feels) fantastic but just check out the inconsistency in those shots! It's not really something you'd want to take to an Irish game unless you were rich, built and a massive poser.

As astonishingly high quality as that looks to be, I'd rather have the Ares. It's more skirmishable and has a spring option. Cheaper too, I'd assume.

Damn. I'm only one out of the three options.

Inconsistency be damned, its about the simple pleasure of drawing that bolt
