The g36, at many price points and by many brands, works inspite of the regular abuse renters give it. This I think was what @Adolf Hamster was aiming for, sure we see them but in the hands of skirmishers? For some reason I keep thinking of the k or e editions for a dmr build. It was indeed what i was aiming at. Very rarely see a g36 thats not a poorly kept rental gun. Its weird, because the other big candidate is the cyma ak but it hasnt been tarred like the g36 has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaBear Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 A friend of mine picked up a TM next gen G36. It’s totally ‘plastic’ and he just likes the look and feel of it. Nostalgic is the word he used. It has an old school vibe to it according to him. I don’t think they are popular to buy to use anymore. That time has passed. However even at my place we use G36’s as rentals. They are just robust I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badgerlicious Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I thought I was special with my AUG, but first day fielding it last year, a whole group of guys turned up with AUGs, lol. I think bullpups in general aren't used much. Though their trigger response is probably why. I'd love to see the ICS SA80 type trigger in more bullpups, perhaps without the glaring design flaw, but that's for another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always found it a bit strange that there are readily available ZB26/30s in airsoft but no classic Bren LMG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Pith Helmet Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 L85 and other bulpups in general. Never seen an Aug or Famas as far as I remember. Even Milsims are a sea of MTP and M4s. The other is the SLR/FAL. Someone should make a decent budget version. It's dead right for a whole load of roles/games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice big mag if you like HI Caps, its HK, plenty of rail space. Yes, it was a UMP9 that Bond used, but there has been a fair amount of movie and TV exposure. My first aeg was the classic army ump. Was a good piece of kit but there was one problem with it; the mags are so long you cant go prone very well! Something I've personally not seen is the Cheytac Intervention and some of the other "made famous by video game" snipers. Also Fn2000 and Uzi.

Also Fn2000 and Uzi. the f2000 i've found is surprisingly common, i've seen quite a few around, probably the most regular bullpup i'd see. granted when i got mine originally they were rare, to the point i was known at my regular site simply as "f2000 guy". i've seen one intervention get fielded, i suspect the size/weight of it is probably why it plays second fiddle to lighter and handier guns like the vsr given you don't get the equivalent range advantage the real one has to pay for its weight.

Yeah the FAL is very badly served compared to the G3. The latter you can get a cheap JG, while if you want a pricier option there is CA and LCT. Also VFC's GBB option. In comparison if you want a "classic" FAL/SLR about the only option readily in stock is a very expensive Ares L1A1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopRocket123 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Not a specific gun but guns that come with deans connectors. We're pretty much the only hobby that still widely uses tamiya connectors, everyone else has moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted December 10, 2020 Author Supporters Share Posted December 10, 2020 thought occurrs, not a gun per-say but how come there's very few clones of russian optics on the market? i mean there's the pso, like 2 versions of the pk-a and that's kind of it.

At least a decent amount of the russian stuff is still in production and not insanely priced (compared to western optics at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
