MACS Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Does anyone know where I can buy either the conversion kit or a whole new FPG, the case of mine is broken. And you can forget any type of glue/weld/bond, With thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted March 5, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted March 5, 2018 They haven't made them for years. The originals came with a WE KWA Glock - don't think the kit could be bought without one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Wasn't it a kwa/ksc? But yeah, they've come out like more than 5 years ago.. If you look in the classifieds you may find something, or look on eBay for a used one.. Be aware that it's 100% useless, takes days to unfold compared to a simple draw, there's much more that can go wrong and some parts are impossible to find if you break something Not sure if you want to spend £250+ on a gimmicky piece of kit.. Damn Novritsch and his videos.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Oh rip, I thought you were looking for a new one lol.. Since it's a rather square design, why don't you draw it on a CAD program and have the replacement 3d printed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn Novritsch and his videos.. Sorry, you're right. I'm not sure why I typed WE as I did own one at one point! I agree with it being a bit naff by the way. Just buy a TM G18c and call it a day. There are other carbine kits out there if you want a stock, but the FPG is too big to carry as a secondary and takes ~10 seconds to *ready (far too long for most cases when you'd need it). There are drop-in kits like the Roni one that'll fit the Marui if you'd like to turn your pistol into a PDW, but again I wouldn't carry it about as anything other than a primary.

Supporters TheFull9 Posted March 6, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 6, 2018 I've owned the PTS one since they released the first kits, 10 seconds is a waaaay over-estimate, more like 1 second to unfold. Easy enough to get both the draw and unfold under 3-5 seconds. I've got a pouch that fits it folded as well as the Beta Project holster they released yonks ago, it's entirely possible to carry it drop-leg, it's just not the most practical; then again it's still far less impractical than plenty of the things people do in airsoft and it's also a ton of fun. I mean it's not a practical sidearm overall if you care about winning, it's bloody enjoyable to use though. Not disagreeing on the fragility though, whoever built it did a really bad job on quite a few of the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted March 6, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted March 6, 2018 Fair enough. I always found it to be a right pain to unholster from those special holsters they did for them. Are you sure 1 second isn't a slight underestimate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted March 6, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 6, 2018 Not in the slightest. 1 second is conservative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters TheFull9 Posted March 6, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 6, 2018 Were you meaning both unholster and unfold then? Because you just said unfold, that right there is how long it takes to unfold and that's why I mentioned a timing to both draw and unfold in my original post.

Root Admin proffrink Posted March 6, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted March 6, 2018 Well I suppose. Given the context I'd hoped that would have been how it was taken. Maybe let's say 'ready'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACS Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 It takes about 0.5 secs to ready. But that's besides the point. I like the design and I'd rather the thing was in working order than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted March 7, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted March 7, 2018 The crucial part being whether it happens to be in your hands at the time. In which case I'd ask why you're running around with it folded up. Go look at the holsters for these things. They're comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
