Not when you can buy wholesale with discount too. The individual packets don't even slow me down either.

Whilst trying to sell my SA80 accessories, a friend messaged me he saying that he had a G&G L85A2 which would just beep whenever he pulled the trigger and he had given up with it, sold it to me dirt cheap as boneyard - Turns out the electric blowback had blown up, ironically causing the L85 to jam (VERY realistic...) 

 

Offered it back to him at the same cost once I'd fixed it as it was a case of removing the blowback unit, he declined and said keep it so I did just that.

 

Sadly none of my PTS E-Mags fit or feed it though. Going to have a look at sorting that out next 🤔

He said “some Haribo”

Like the quantity you would expect handed to the back seat passengers on a road trip.

Hands off my haribo 😡

That is rather nice.  I had an Army Armament L85 for a while; I quite fancy a semi-decent one.

Coming from only owning ICS & WE, this one may genuinely be the best replica internally. The simplicity of the split gearbox is beautiful and it had a 2 fps variation, 21 shots all averaging 302 - 304fps on a 0.25g BB. Obviously the blowback is terrible, so I would advise disabling it even if it does work. I’ll have it with me this weekend if you want to check it out 🙂

My eldest had one of the early G&G L85s, which was a festering heap of poo, although strangely the blowback did not cause any problems.  He sold it years ago when he gave up airsoft.

 

I am going to AP this Sunday and plan to be at Splatoon on the 26th.

Internally it's really nice but my god, the issues with just putting the two halves together is a bloody nightmare - On top of that, battery space is non existent. Not sure where I'm going to even put a battery with the DD rail. On my ICS's I used to fit the battery up top after removing the mock gas tube etc but the G&G requires a clamp around the barrel at the rear which pushes the battery up. If it wasn't for the price of the G&G, I think I'd of got an ICS again in hindsight

I cannot remember where we put the battery after I fitted a DD rail to Ben's one; I think we might have use a dummy PEQ box.  I think if I was to get one, I would stick with the polymer handguards.

My battery still goes in the dd handguard but I had to remove the gas parts.
