ASG B&T USW Pistol (CO2)

[AlphaBear]

Anvil TV has just posted up a video on the new ASG B&T pistol. Shooting up to 55m on CO2. I mean what the actual!!! Looks very promising to be fair...

Your thoughts gentlemen?

Price has just been announced £179.99! Blimey a tad high?

Cheaper than a lot of equivalent machine pistol/SMGs on the market. I mean compare that to ~£300 for the PP2000

[AlphaBear]

I don’t really use pistols so don’t have anything to compare. Although the video footage does look incredible and I may be tempted. But will it fit in a holster or is it a dangler like a smg? 

[Tackle]

I like it in principle, but I'd like it more if the front-end was beefed up a bit more, bit more SMG than pistol......

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the 3d printers here get busy on it ?

@AK47frizzle ?

I'll certainly be intrigued to see what folks with zero affiliation make of it, I guess I'm just a bit confused as to what exactly it's bringing to the table other than 'being a bit different' and a folding stock.

I also hate that I will never be able to unsee the Shutterstock watermark on the Anvil intro graphic... you're welcome.

And what's wrong with that?

I probably should have qualified that last remark, it was in reference to the price. I absolutely appreciate what @PopRocket123said in regard to the price versus RIFs in the same wheelhouse... for me personally this is just lacking in the feature department to justify the price.

[AlphaBear]

Isn’t the point it’s a gas pistol. A small form factor and therefore the engineering that’s probably gone into making it may justify the price tag?

Fair play, though I doubt you'll be able to find one with a suppressor, RMR, folding stock etc. for lower - although I'm not too sure if those accessories come as standard, but I'm assuming they do for now.

 

Also as Alpha says, R&D can justify a higher price tag to an extent; this isn't just another clone

According to the LWA listing it doesn't come with any of the accessories, I agree if it had done it'd be a decently priced little package.

And of course the R&D and set up costs of coming to the market with something new tend to assume a higher price. But as with anything to do with cost it'll always be subjective. I hope anyone that picks one up absolutely loves it, especially those that have been waiting on a USW replica. Seeing new replicas is a great thing and I hope it does well.

Will look nice paired up with my APC9.

Id say Id find this more interesting if it was select fire.

I just noticed something interesting - It uses CZ mags...

Compatible with CZSP01/CZ75/Shadow 2...
Does that mean it's just a CZ in B&T clothing?
If it is, that's an awful lot of dosh just for a stock, given the CZSP01 is normally around the £110 ish mark.
However, that being side, I still like it, cos I like the real one - and I'm a sucker for all things B&T.

I wanted it when they showcased it last year but now Action Army AAP-01 exists and well... it speaks to me more.

i dunno, for range work a shoulder stock would be very handy, especially for getting onto a red dot before the other guy shoots you.

 

and nowt wrong with being a bit different as long as it has fieldable performance.

[AlphaBear]

I’m just flabbergasted it has that sort of range. I mean some AEGs can’t shoot that far!

 

Stick in a longer barrel with a tight bore which goes to the end of the suppressor and you have a decent bit of kit there i hazard to guess.

Most aegs can shoot 60-70m with a maple leaf hop on 350 fps, costing like... £8?
