You know, I just can't get over how ugly (to me) the G36K and KE carry handles are. I like the low-profile rail on top of the 36C. Everybody has their own tastes however.
The more I look at it, the better off I might be getting the Star SL-9:
http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/p ... odID=20040It's got the lo-pro rail, the extended inner barrel and handguard free of obnoxious railing, customizable buttstock and cheek rest. Everything I need, in one package. Shoots approx 350fps out of the box too.
For those of you wondering, even though the markings on the gun indicate semi only, it is fully capable of full-auto fire, the markings are full of it.
I respect Star and I appreciate the fresh ideas they bring to what would otherwise be a world of the same old M4s and AKs all over the field. New manufacturer or not, they have my attention and everything that I've seen that they make is solid.
