Guns that stand out.

I would LOVE to P* a pulse rifle, shame the mags are a faff and no easy way to attach an optic. Imagine getting the under barrel launcher to load and shoot the Goblin shells xD
Would be possible to do all that but not cheap. Would go for a normal gbbr over p* though.

One of the few times a gun has stood out for me was when I first laid eyes on a Barrett .50cal someone had brought to a skirmish (cannot remember the brand). Having a deep seated love for sniper rifles I had to go over and have a chat with it's owner. Was a bit dissapointed it was an electric rifle (I prefer spring snipers) but was a nice bit of kit.

I saw one once it was absolutely huge. Very impressive looking but apparently the perfomance was not all that. Made you want to run away just looking at it though.

You can get the conversion kit to turn an aeg into a Barrett but it's like over a grand for it

But I agree that it does look nice

 
Last skirmish I had a play around with someone's tavor, love the way they look, shame performance was a bit naff...

Saw a type 98b once, looked amazing with a stubby silencer, had to have a go with that as well!

Generally if it's bullpup and not sa80 family then it's interesting to me, some of the slightly more exotic lmg's too.

I think at least one person has shown interest in my f2000 every time it's gone out, it looks so odd you can't help but notice it.

 
I borrowed my mates sten gun (asg I think) and all day I had people asking me about it. But the top of my list is either any realsword of a kris vector

 
Second that fpg, also the vector and whoever was running around with an ACOGed Barrett

 
Realistically, for me, any gun that actually looks what I'd call 'sorted'. Don't care on the platform or the make, but it's really bloody rare I see a gun with a setup that makes me think "that's actually well done" (obviously excluding the comedy guns in this one). I get people might be limited on the batteries the have in relation to the gun and their budget etc, but if you can't afford to setup your rifle in such a way that all the weight of that Large type NiMh isn't entirely dangling directly from the wire connection.. well I think you should just wait til next payday before attending another game. If anything for your own sake as that's just not a good thing for the battery, the gun or the shooter.

Also anyone that actually uses their attached foregrip, be it vertical or angled. I almost never see those used, they're just hanging out in front there while the shooter grips the magwell all day long. Not saying people 'aren't allowed' to grip the magwell that's entirely personal preference, but it's rare I see anyone actually utilise the foregrip they've paid for and attached, so that stands out to me.

He gets it.

I actually use the angled foregrip as I find it really comfortable. Originally I had a vertical foregrip but found holding it so that my thumb was on the top rail whilst my fingers were sort of curved over where the front of the vertical grip meets the rail was preferable for me. I think the sort of grip I'm talking about has a name(mong grip maybe?) but it works for me.

For me it's mainly about what works with a bit of what I think looks good thrown in. Stuff like PEQ boxes is just another place where the rifle is going to get obstructed by an attachment I don't use. If I try something I think looks good but then gets in the way i'd thin it out sharpish.

 
Tavors, umps, px4s all very pretty but the f2000 there's an ugly duckling

 
Tavors, umps, px4s and a well setup mp5 always looks nice. The f2000 that's one ugly rifle.

 
gas m11a1 will turn more heads than many guns 10 times more expensive.

Used to get a fair share of comments when using my G&P tank also^^

Picked up a King Arms Fn FAL for my mate yesterday, lovely bit of kit. As well as a mac11...now that thing is a beast! Entire mag gone in approx 3 seconds flat and the noise is orgasmic lol

 
Is it just me who find that regardless of how much you can admire from the armchair, at a skirmish it's mostly just a blur of camo and carbine and nothing really grabs your attention?

Perhaps I'm a RIF racist because in person they all just look the same to me. Or perhaps I'm only real-steel curious as I can enjoy looking at pics online, but when it comes to the day, i'm not that into it.

Mostly it's just yawn M4/16 (i don't care what obscure variant you've made it), yawn SCAR, yawn MP5, yawn sniper (they all look the same, unless it's some kind of 50.cal, then your just hilarious). If it's none of the above then gets a 2nd glance to work it out.

Seen a Halo gun and Pulse Rifle that grabbed the attention, but I've kept an eye out for them to see how cheap plastic they look in the flesh. An MG42, but that was mostly as it was being carried by a someone smaller than the gun and seemed a perfect beautiful cliche of 'little-man syndrome'

My Thundermall usually gets a glance or two, and the occasional bit of spit.

Think it depends how interested people are in the guns, both Airsoft and their real steel counterparts. Some guys can identify which airsoft manufacturer made your gun, whereas other people will ask me if my HK416 is an L85(yes seriously)

One of the things I love about Airsoft is that it lets you do what you want kit wise. If you like a John Woo style loadout then go for it, likewise if you want to wear full USMC clobber then crack on.

 
I tend to find I have a fascination with Aks at the moment where as some people hate them. But M4s I find a bit boring now as I see far to many. I have one for cqb but that wasn't for the looks was just because it made perfect sense at the time. So yeah any decent Ak and I will give it a second glance.

Yeah like to check the AKs to see if they got wood and the shit/paint kicked out of them
