two_zero Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 ..so what is the requirements for those milsims? only m249? only 'belt feed' ? mg36, rpk, l86, h-bar all excluded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted March 24, 2013 Supporters Share Posted March 24, 2013 there are quite a few. But in airsoft, an mg36 is just an assault rifle with a boxmag, therefore not allowed. In airsoft its no different to fitting a box mag to an m4. The others that you mentioned are heavier modified versions, they're less practical and therefore receive a higher allowed round count, but again not all milsims allow them. Some milims make a distinction between lsw's and lmg's too, but not that I've seen in the UK. I don't really see the appeal of an mg36 anyway tbh, if I wanted a support weapon I'd much rather a proper belt fed, but that's just personal preference.

Or you referring to those with fake links like the M249 Para? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted March 24, 2013 Supporters Share Posted March 24, 2013 yes those are what I'm talking about. They're are much bigger, heavier and more impractical. Which is why they are allowed as LMG's. m249's, m60's etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tariq Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 MG36 is a G36, with a Beta magazines and a heavy barrel, to help with the elongated fire. Was scrapped though due to it being very midway between a G36 and the current LMG at the time. I have used my G36 in support roles that have kit and movement restrictions, such as no support gunner is allowed to shoot unless braced or bipod down. As mine is a proper G36, and as heavy barrels don't exist in airsoft it pretty much is a MG36. I wouldn't count it as one though unless you have the right carry handle sight and front end. Just sticking a drum mag on a G36C/K and calling it a MG36 is a bit like sticking a box mag on a 416 and calling it a M27 IAR. Other support roles are just jealous of the weight difference!!! Will be ordering one of these next month. Wouldn't mind ordering another for you to purchase off me to lower shipping / customs charges. Might order more anyway since last time i sold one on eBay for 100% profit http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/ufc-g36-2500rd-sound-activated-beta-c-mag-magazine.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_zero Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 So again.. what defines whats allowed? if the real weapon is belt feed? the weight? or just a list of allowed ones? I really dislike belt feed airsofts, because the best is static while shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted March 25, 2013 Supporters Share Posted March 25, 2013 As previously said, it depends on the rules. MG36's are sometimes disallowed because they're so close to an assault rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tariq Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Its banned because some people don't like the fact H&K developed a rifle good enough to trial it as a LSW, and it being super light weight compared to its competitors, thus having a large advantage in maneuverability. And the G36 isn't exactly mobile anyway because its so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted March 25, 2013 Supporters Share Posted March 25, 2013 I doubt its down to people simply not liking the fact that h&k managed to make a good gun, pro ably more so down to trying to balance the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
