Zak Da Mack Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 The ugliness is what makes it attractive. Like A10 Warthogs and Apache Gunships. Perhaps even L85s as well. They're so horrible, that it just reinforces their badasstitude. Ed, isn't this totally against everything you stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted October 23, 2013 Supporters Share Posted October 23, 2013 No, I stand against all the people out there who build guns designed to make me gip. Stuff that's ugly in a badass way is ok. Anyway, the VSS is also known as the Vintorez. Which is Russian for 'thread cutter'. If that's not badass, I don't know what is.

Supporters Ian_Gere Posted October 24, 2013 Supporters Share Posted October 24, 2013 I have a hard on. But ugly = cool only goes so far. It doesn't extend to the FAMAS for eg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted October 24, 2013 Supporters Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'll wait for the VAL version though. The wood stock just isn't quite cool enough. Mind you.....be good for STALKER loadouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 According to some sources the Lower receiver is 'die-cast aluminium alloy' and the rest is steel. Pretty good,but I'm not a fan of the finish on the stock. I still prefer LCT's version with CNC steel lower receiver and the wood finish looks much nicer. I would have like the GSS to be LCT bodied but you can't get everything. I think the mags should be able to fit in G36 mag pouches,I'll have to search about which pouches the NPO ones can fit into.

TacMaster Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Maybe the wood comes out of the factory un varnished? If that's just it all you would need to do is remove the stock and treat it using wood varnish, linseed oil etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted November 21, 2013 Supporters Share Posted November 21, 2013 I don't mean just the wood, I meant the plastics and metal, especially around the fire selector area. Equally I've never seen a real one so it could be like that on the real thing, not sure what the word is, just looks a bit rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacMaster Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yeah, I can see what you mean now. It could just be the photo, but I hope it isn't- I'm planning on getting something Russian and very alternative as my next AEG, and the VSS ticks those boxes I trust G&G more than I would LCT so hopefully it looks a lot better irl.

Zak Da Mack Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hoping the externals will be better than in this pic. Then again, the video looked better and it looks very un-G&G quality. So hopefully it's just an unfinished model, it should be better when it's released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'd say yes, but I don't think G&G tend to do mid-caps, at least I've not noticed any for sale (not that I've looked for them) Though being a unique and most likely entirely proprietary gun they would be stupid not to.

TacMaster Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I've got a couple of G&G made 120 round midcaps, their own version of the Pmag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted November 22, 2013 Supporters Share Posted November 22, 2013 This and a mg34 is all my want See now that just shows a lack of ambition! What about an MG42 for comparison? And MP40 and MP44 to have loadout options... PPSh41 for coolsies. AN-94 just because and a Bizon for when you've got arm ache. Oh and let's not forget the humble Pistola Makarova! Bren gun, GPMG, L86A2, working L1A1 HK417...? Certainly a USP .45 Match, how about Beretta CX4 Storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacMaster Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 PPSh41 Bizon PPSH41- seems well received by buyers, and even if one someone buys is a lemon it has an M14 gearbox so there's a decent amount of spares. Bizon- I know a guy who has one, very nice piece of kit What's stopping you Ian? Well they are both more expensive than Gen 3 G&G rifles...so yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Ian_Gere Posted November 24, 2013 Supporters Share Posted November 24, 2013 Does anybody know anything about S&T's VSS? There's apparently also a VAL version: Personally, I can't even figure out how to buy anything from them Maybe they've gone bust? I've emailed 'em via their contact form, so we shall see.

Supporters M_P Posted November 24, 2013 Supporters Share Posted November 24, 2013 Most likely a clone of sorts- possibly a clone of the king arms one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacMaster Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 As well as their crap internals, S&T come out with some REAL abominations- this for example!

Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 S&T VSS is their own design,as you can probably tell,the S&T VSS is sort of...wrong looking,such as the receiver cover not being stamped properly,receiver being too thick,stock is utterly wrong and among other things,they proper fire selection method is not replicated. Then again,that does not really matter to the average nob, I expect waves of ''gawt ess and tee vee ess ess,how mak rushin dmr lodout?'' posts. Echo1 re-branded the S&T as the ''IGOR''(Cringe) and they are selling it as part of the red star line. I'd say there is no reason to get the S&T. The King Arms one is roughly the same price,has proper proportions and replications and seems to be build better. Not a fan of thee wood on the KA though. Here's a comparison of the LCT VAL,King arms VSS, and S&T VSS. Mainly showing for receiver dimensions. Don't really want to show the G&G since that one looks far too unfinished. KA LCT S&T Vidyaz. KA LCT S&T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted November 24, 2013 Supporters Share Posted November 24, 2013 OK, well that idea went the way of the square wheel... I was also looking at this Russian tuned one. Which looks very nice: steel and plywood goodness but is simply a V3 gearbox, not that orgasmatron that G&G are using - and it's £500 basic / £650 with the PSO scope and tune up. I notice that the stock on this one appears to be more horizontal than the KA one, closer to the S&T I'd say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
