Happy Halloween everyone.

Now that is smart.

Do you have a colour or scheme in mind? I repainted the handguard and stock on my Commando, have considered an all over scheme however.

@MagpieTacticalnice rifle. Love the XM177s with the old school handle-mount sight. Just bought a G4 helmet. Couple of weeks before it arrives.

Those gnu covers look rather spiffing.

In a way I suppose it does... shorty MORITA CQB ? Sci-fi Gnus are da best

Ah yes. Getting that way myself... can't be arsed with social media anymore or the dickheads that inhabit it and seem to think their opinions are of importance. Anyway. Nothing new here but took this pic of my two main plastic blasters with pet Xenomorph looking on. Thought it looked quite smart so I'd share. Nothing special but I just liked the shot.

Knocked this up for a laugh out of some cheap fishing gear I got from Aldi years ago. I call it my "Chavsoft" loadout. Or perhaps "Fishin'soft"? OD, plenty of pockets for mid-caps, face pro and kneepad inserts. What's not to like? ? 933 for lightness. Im half tempted to run with this next time...

Exactly!

Lighter load means easier to run ? so easier to play the game. I usually carry 3-4 mags and a pistol, that's it.

Smart looking gnu that, leave it as is.

That's a neat setup. Simple loadouts are the best ?

Would agree with this 100%. The gun is only one small part of your loadout. Think what else you need. Clothing and protection wise mainly. Not just for looks- you want something that's practical, conformable and isn't going to make you drown in sweat. What site will you be playing at, what camo or colour will work well there etc. Eye pro is your most important thing imo.

All true but for the money it's hard to beat.

My mates CM513 cost 80 quid new and is a great gun. Absolute bargain and plenty cash left over for more fun stuff.

I've got an M56 (B model, stockless). PB sell them for about 40 quid. A pack of 4 shells can be had for about £8.99. Hell of an amount short of 100 quid. Still, a nice idea.

Had this for a few months now and decided to do a review of it. Name: APS Urban Assault Rifle v2 FPS: Chrono'd @ 340fps without hop on 0.2g Hop Up: Er... yes Mag Capacity: 1x 300 STANAG, 1x 150 shorty Battery: 8.4v block NiMH, rear wired Material: Mainly plastic, metal flash hider, inner barrel, gearbox Overview:- A nice original looking bullpup that is not based on a real steel design. Not too many around so unique. Very sci-fi looking (think Halo etc) and uses STANAG mags. Lots of rail space for assorted baubles if you are so minded. Top rail is raised which is useful for mounting optics. Comes equipped with QD sling mount. V3 gearbox so internally like an AK. 410mm inner barrel. Also, a nice feature is that all controls are fully ambidextrous and can be customised, making this a very useful weapon for lefties. In Use:- Very ergonomic, all controls fall nicely to hand. Reasonably light at 2.4kg. Short length (64cm) so ideal for CQB. Rear-weighted as all bullpups are, personally I dont mind this as the weight digs in to your shoulder making for a very front-light, manoeuvrable gun. Chrono'd at 340fps with no hop and 0.2g, with hop applied it seems to have good range at my woodland site (don't ask me to estimate distances!), certainly in excess of my M4, making it possible to build a DMR platform on it. Rate of fire on a standard 8.4v block NiMH battery is reasonable, I'd estimate 10-15rps. Another neat feature is the gun can be field stripped without any tools - three pins hold the receiver together, with three holes rather helpfully placed on the top rail to hold the pins so they don't get lost. Critcisms:- -It's plastic. Personally I dont mind that - I'd rather have a nice light gun - however this may put some off. It is a budget gun so it's it's be expected. The plastic doesn't feel super strong so we will see how it holds up in use. -Incompatible with mid-caps. This has been the UAR's main criticism from day one. Why the design hasnt been changed I don't understand, however the mag well can be dremelled in order to make them fit. This is well-documented online, I've yet to try it but it's a pain nonetheless. -Fire selector is a bit funny. It's easy to flick from safe to full auto - perhaps too easy as it's prone to accidentally knocking it off safe. Also switching from safe back to full auto is a bit of a fudge and it works better returning to safe then full auto. Summary:- A nicely-priced gun (around £140) that is packed with many useful features, uniquely styled (not another frigging M4) and has rather decent performance out of the box. If I'm honest it's the Halo-ish styling that attracted me to it in the first place as I wanted a sci fi loadout. Someone has created a 3D-printed kit to convert the UAR to the BR55 Battle Rifle if that tickles your fancy. It's probably the cheapest bullpup on the market and also probably the lightest, the Cybergun FN2000 and S&T Tavor being both more expensive and weighty. Also the uniquely useful features of this gun really sell it to me. It also performs well having the range and velocity to handle outdoor engagements, certainly better than my M4. Also they seem to be quite rare in the UK so it's nice to field an original weapon. Would I recommend it? Without question. It's a fantastic wee bullpup. Would I buy another? Of course I would. And maybe even convert the 2nd one to a BR55...

Blimey. That'll burn through your mags quickly then ? There was me sitting there quite happy with the estimated 10-15 RPS I'm getting from my completely unmodified UAR!

Nice. What RPS is that thing doing? It's like a GAU8 Avenger from an A10 ?

All really well said. In my very humble opinion that everyone's more than welcome to disagree with there are some fantastic bargain AEGs to be had in the sub-£150 range. Personally (again, my own view...), I prefer the cheaper guns as they are much lighter (plastic), have less to go wrong (no recoil, MOSFETs, ETUs etc) and many come with a plethora of useful features out the box e.g. rail systems, tightbore barrels, half-decent internal gubbins etc. Plus I can afford them... Changing BB weight can also improve things in outdoor games, accuracy and consistency for one. I've gone to. 25s recently.

Is the done thing not to heavily edit/chop up footage to make it look as though you've aced multiple players at 300m range within a matter of mere seconds? And not missing a single shot whilst remaining completely stealthy and going a whole day without taking a hit? ? That's a lovely piece that. Agree PBs customer service is excellent.

Nice pic.

Me fannying about like a saddo whilst the family were all asleep and playing with a photo editor for the first time. Current loadout, as posted a few days ago. Tried to mix a bit of Boba Fett with Master Chief/ODST, Starship Troopers and Unreal Tournament whilst remaining unique, very practical/usable and without spending shit tons of moolah on posh cosplay gear that would be a nightmare to run about the woods in. Eat my UAR! Unreal Tournament 2004-style profile pic. An "oh shit, there's a Xenomorph" pose. That moment before merry hell kicks off and the smart guns light up... All good fun, this cosplaysoft. Might do some more soon.

Scamster?

It certainly is. "Does not come with a Mag." So in other words... its useless. And 200 quid. What's the point?
