G&G Firehawk vs G&G ARP9

[sonofsammo]

I got about half an hour from a 11.1v 1100 mah battery (1200 BBs gone like nothing) but I was saving the world at the time....

Holy shit - that's a whole drum mag!!!
That lasts me a morning at least!

You really need to change your connectors bud , the tamiya are just so inefficient compared to basically every other connector on the market ! ?

But.... That means changing something.... Which I will then break!
Hell no!

ARP9 in grey ordered, very excited now!

Going to order the drum now!

Arrived a couple of hours ago from Zero One, this thing is a work of art!  Just tried it with an 8.4v mini battery (just making sure it all works), it is totally mad and LOUD!  I have just ordered 2x 11.1v 1300mah 25C Lipo batteries with Dean connectors. Do the soldering next week and tidy up the amount of wiring in the stock tube.  Got a reflex sight and a nine slot M-lok rail for the fore grip, which is  on order.   Hoping to have the ARP9 fully completed with accessories (drum also) in a couple of weeks.  Oh and LOVE the grey! Thanks Druid799!!

(Sorry I have found it difficult to type this as I cant stop laughing due to the ROF and loudness of the ARP9.  I might pass out when it is running on a 11.1v lipo)

I see patrolbase are doing the Arp9 for £180? Is there another model? Seems a bit cheap lol

No that’s the price for it. It is nice to see G&G has pushed the quality of vs value for money. I love my ARP9 and need to go airsofting now!

I've got rifs from 100£ to £600 and the ARP9, imho is without doubt the best value of all of them.
The shits & giggles to £ ratio is off the chart!

Kinda biased on this one.

My brother has a firehawk that’s not exactly standard.  It has a Gate Titan, air seal upgrades and FPS coming in at 347 FPS consistantly, its running as close to 30rps as a standard sector gear can get you. Oh, and it’s been upgraded to make MORE noise...(don’t ask-think my brother is a sadist?) 

If you were at the mall forum game you probably heard it. Couple of pics attached. 

One thing that isnt in the pic is the buffer tube, it’s been stripped of its back paint and laquered, looks different.

I have seen a couple of ARP9’s. I’m very tempted by them, and contemplating getting one..

I'm pretty confident I have witnessed this beast at 'The Mall' 

Your brother was ahead of me in the queue for chrono, and when it was his turn for testing... It's bloody deafening! Especially in a CQB environment. 

Sounded awesome! ?

Yeah, That would have been him, it is fear enducing, makes the gun sound bigger than it is!

All I’ll say is try teaming up with him for a day. Talk about headache.

I've got a fair few rifs and I would agree the APR is one fun gun. I won mine in a rafle at a game, totally unexpected!

I hadn't run with an AEG for some time and was dubious..... but how wrong I was; very accurate, great noise. It can hop .28 like they're nothing. With the Drum mag it's heading towards LMG territory but I think of it as a modern tommygun. It can certainly lay down some fire and the few non hit callers I tagged didn't remain non hit callers for long, not with a drum unloading at them.

So not only is it a good rif but it also stops people from ignoring they're hits... lol ..... Get some!

Any one point sling recommendations for the ARP9?

Hey guys I just purchased arp9 and i love it, as everyone saying it's very loud specially when u firing on full auto, and compact as I'm using it as my secondary weapon srs main.

One questions which upgrades do I need?? As I've been told inner barrel and hop a must. 

Thanks for the replies.
