Arrtee99 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Is that a real HKS speedloader? Are the shells compatible? Very cool if so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStew Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Who's the OEM? I can't believe Ares has gone against 25 odd years of precedent and made something good. BigAl, Cannonfodder, Rogerborg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveoc33 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Keen to know the performance too, like fps out of the box and what weight ammo it can hop. 👍 Looks lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An adjustable hop is good too Edited March 24 by Cannonfodder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool if so Expand It is a real .357 speed loader, the shells in it are spare ones for the Ares which look like jacketed SP ones.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted Wednesday at 13:23 Supporters Share Posted Wednesday at 13:23 OK, but how does it perform? Does the adjustable hop actually hop? Is it consistent? What are the energy levels like with properly hopped BBs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the energy levels like with properly hopped BBs? Expand Those are rather important criteria when deciding what is the best airsoft revolver. I would want to use it quite a bit before making that claim. Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted Thursday at 15:39 Share Posted Thursday at 15:39 Tanaka PC 629 with the Pegasus gas system. Feed it propane and .36's. Pretty much perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlyboy Posted Saturday at 11:32 Share Posted Saturday at 11:32 Finally got a Umarex S & W M29 6.5 inch (Dirty Harry’s favourite weapon) shoots good but is CO2 only so limits on use but it is very heavy similar to the real thing so not field practical but it is quiet, only other revolver I have had was the awful TM Python.
