Sure wish I had the money for this haha, but don't we all??? http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=5565&osCsid=afi7ulg4rrtb2ccpcmvmsbhdo7
-
Buddy of mine in NC might be getting one. Weighs close to 30 POUNDS!!!!
-
If by close to 30lbs you mean 22lbs, then yes.
And I can say, I couldn't care how much money I have. Still wouldn't buy one.
-
It's an $850 wall ornament, you just can't use that in airsoft, its impractical.
-
Yeah haha, unless you weigh 500 puonds and are going to be stationary this is very impractical haha. I wouldn't want to lug this beast up the rocks at granite dells like I do my L96. :shock:
-
It's still a fuckin BB gun.
-
Not gonna lie I'd try it. The intimidation factor alone is enought to keep people on their toes. Its like using the Echo-1 Minigun. High volume of fire but no range.
-
I would have to say that I don't see an intimidation factor of some guy who sits still waiting for me to shoot him during an airsoft game. "snipers" in airsoft have the same problem as snipers in the real world, their focus narrows to that little crosshair, and they get shot by the guy standing 20 ft to the left.
Not saying you shouldn't buy it if you want one, just saying I don't think it would actual intimidate anybody.
-
If anyone here wants one, I can order them in, retailing them for $729.99. Let me know.
-
Since it's a ver 2 mech box you could probably upgrade the hell out of it with systema or other parts and make it really intimidating, but you are right sarge it is just a bb gun haha id rather spend the 800 on a sniper stock for my model 700 .308 haha
-
that thing is sweet
-
That video was real professional. :roll:
-
I have the money and I still wouldnt get this thing. Its a weak ass excuse of a replica of a badass motherfucking weapon.
Its not even much of a BB gun.....
-
it would only be cool if it was an 8mm, gbb, shell ejecting model. And then only if it was coming from the factory pushing 440fps with .36's.
I guess other than that it would be a good looking wall hanger. but thats it. I would venture to say one of those nbb ruger mkII "marksmen" rifle things would out preform it; and they are only about $150 new.
-
It's an Echo 1 M16 with a body kit thrown on. That's it. It's performance is nothing special, it's just an overpriced body kit.
-

Having had one of said guns long ago, I'd have to say that it probably would. For the price, those Ruger's are amazing.

HAVING SHOT ONE A FEW TIMES i CONCUR.

yeah im not sure if any one else noticed but my aeg shoot harder then this little pee shooter. for a sniper its sad, semi auto or not. intimidation factor is nil in my opinion because its 22ibs or so with out the scope. if im going to spend that kind of money i would rather buy a dsr-1, its shoots alot harder (it would have to be tuned down some) and comes with a very nice scope and its cheaper.

I am sorry but 22lbs your not going to be sniping anything hurting your back carrying that monster!

Imagine carrying the real thing :-k

Yeah but the evisceration -to- weight ratio of the real thing more than warrants its heft, IMO.
If I could find a fuckin BB gun that weighed 1lb, I'd be all over that like Mikey on rice. To hell with "realistic" weight.
I have real guns for that.

I'm just the opposite. I want my AEG to weigh a bit heavier than the real thing. Just like a batter practices with weights, when I use the real thing it feels light. Though your real gat is just plain F'n heavy and I wouldn't want to lug that around either ;)
But back to the gun, I agree. The bang you get for your buck does not translate the same in airsoft as it does with real steal. This gun would fill the need for the look if someone wanted it that much and is willing to pay the price for the "look factor". Other than that I don't see any advantages this thing would have in airsoft. And if a gun like this were upgraded to where it would have an advantage, it would most likely hurt someone.

Sounds about right, they should've at least tried to do something like this (http://www.poweredgehawaii.com/Reviews/CO2M4.asp), adapted it for 8mm BBs, then slapped on a body kit. At least that way it would look intimidating and would worth the price.
-
Just because it 'looks' mean does not mean it will intimidate anyone. In reality I would think someone just had to much money to waste if they actually played with it. That does not mean I would not be interested to come look at it or shoot it a couple of times, but its not really something you play with. I know some people buy airsoft guns for wall hangers and this would be a great option for them. It about $7,250 cheaper than a real one. It does look cool though.
-
like others have said Its still just a BB gun, and I dont notice anything special. For $850 I want some asthetic shit on that gun that is completly pointless, Like blowback, and shell ejection. Like others have said its an expensive/pretty body kit.
-
Well, I for one would not be unhappy if I won this in the ASGI raffle :D/
-
Me neither thats why im going to put in my order for my spr haha
-
i can get more fps with my bolt action TM clone :O
i agree... very impractical..
-
Heh, interesting. I remember when I first started learning about airsoft, the M82 was just a legend. Just a few guys that were dedicated enough to either machine the metal themselves or have someone else do it and build one.
Impractical, I agree; but cool none the less.
-
hardly anyone would buy it if they had the mony right now but if we were all at the field and some guy showed up with it we would all be lined up to take a shot and look no? :D/
-
No.
-
allrighty then :-k
