gasman Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Yes plastic throw away crap. Same as modern cars no style no soul recycle when used, Only reason to use plastic its cheaper to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted August 3, 2018 Supporters Share Posted August 3, 2018 lol, sorry buy no cars have nothing to do with guns. Plastic can and will easily outlast a lot of the metals and wood used in older weapons in various environmental conditions; not all but many. Similar story in terms of resisting general wear in service. There will be Tavors and SCARs around just as long as in the future as the age of existing antique weapons. In fact the plastic will stand the test of time far better than wood or steel and the metal compositions and surface finishes used on the metal parts of a quality military firearm now will guarantee it lasts far better than the weapons of WW1, WW2 etc. If you think modern weapons are just throwaway where old school stuff isn't you have a lot to learn about design and manufacture of guns.

Its also super light making it really easy to use for a prolonged period. One of the main advantages everyone forgets about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasman Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I have handled firearms most of my life and the older weapons have that weight and tactile feel I love, the newer stuff just feel like toys. I suppose if you are the younger generation you wont have handled most of the classic old guns some of which I grant are much to heavy for a modern battlefield. Modern guns are now so much more accurate due to advances in ammunition and manufacture but I still hate plastic! There is a correlation between guns and cars classic looks and feel as I said I like the look of the evo just not the plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted August 3, 2018 Supporters Share Posted August 3, 2018 I've been an armourer over decade now, all I do is handle guns from monday to friday. Personally, I have videos right there on my YouTube shooting pretty much every major commonly issued weapon used by the key players in WW2, lots of stuff from WW1 and other old obsolescent weapons too; visited many patterns rooms, museums, other armouries, guns shows etc and I pick up absolutely everything... the list goes on. Not saying this is an experience competition but I myself am not someone who lacks in experience handling or firing all sorts of 'classic' guns, or indeed lots of the new stuff. Anyone can absolutely feel free to hate plastic in airsoft, that's 100% fine, but the assertion that modern firearms which make extensive use of plastic are throwaway is empirically incorrect. I like the feel of AKs and world war bolt actions a lot, but they're just not better than modern weapons in any way that really matters once you get in to a shooting match. In a display case however then, sure I'll go for an MP5, No4, Thompson or whatever, every time never argue that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albiscuit Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Anyone know of a good place to look for (or have) a stock adaptor? I CANNOT spend £60 on something I dont need but want. I think that part is WAY overpriced for what it is but I do want to swap the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stodgy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Good day all, just some advice if i may. I have just picked up a second hand evo with shs gears and piston in it. The motor is standard but when I put the motor base plate on it pushes the motor way to far into the grip and I have zero adjustment on it and cannot get a good mesh. However, when I spaced the base plate put with washers I can get a spot on mesh with zero whine in the gears. Or as close to as I can’t tell otherwise. Is this an issue or am I missing something? The motor wires are not in the way and I tested it with just the motor installed as well in the grip and the problem remains with little adjustment.
