two_zero Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Had my eye on this one for a very long time.. Anyone knows if there is any other brand than the AY? or if the AY can be made into something decent? or what gearbox/hop unit/etc it uses (I assume swapping the gearbox would be step one)? the foregrip looks big enough for a small lipo brick? will the externals fall apart just from looking at it?Thanks just thought I'd mention this.. despite being called "m4", its not an AR: Sacarathe 1
Sacarathe Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Never come across casket magazines before now; guess the airsoft version of this has quite high realcaps?
AK47frizzle Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Oh man, I actually want one of these as well I think it has a V3 gearbox so it can be swapped out, not sure on the hop up though. I also can't expect the externals to be brilliant... two_zero 1

Been used in a few SMGs unless I am much mistaken. Think surefire makes one for stang, doubt you'd be allowed on milsim arguing that thou (then again, what do I know about milsim)^^ thing is with obscure guns like this, they dont tend to have more than one version magazine in airsoft, this one is 50rd. I think it has a V3 gearbox so it can be swapped out, not sure on the hop up though. I also can't expect the externals to be brilliant... *fingers crossed* I also can't expect the externals to be brilliant... Agreed. Big question is really how much stress they can take and what sort of stress one actually would put on it while skirmishing
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 17, 2015 Supporters Posted July 17, 2015 looks a little similar to the Echo 1 GAT that finally went on sale recently (well to me it does) http://echo1usa.com/x/the-echo1-general-assault-tool-gat/ OOOPPPSSSssssssss my bad they do the Spectre too - same meat it looks to me http://echo1usa.com/x/echo1-spectre-rdp-available-now/ one or two people on Airsoft Mechanics have ripped it to bits to make a typical AM nutter rof build is is a kinda bespoke or altered gearbox I think based on v3 but all/most bits are normal aeg stuff like regular v3's well that was the GAT - dunno about spectre coz only just 5 mins ago found out they did that too maybe Evike or Airsoft GI order time as they do ship to UK. (custom's could be a 8itch but deffo different) two_zero 1
two_zero Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Interesting! Even thou one screams special ops and the other one screams gangland they both might be options to consider.. Really looking for a subcompact with a proper gearbox/internals that looks somewhat decent. I love my mp5k, but I just cant stand the look of it. I wonder how they perform out of the box... GAT:+Seems a tad bit more solid +250 rnd +Holes in heatshield could be used to attach home made optics mount?M4:+Remove the RIS and you could easily make and attach a home made optics mount +Easier battery access +Looks like attaching a homemade stock would be easy or possibly (if same design as AY)+Looks amazing (minor point as they both look good enough) updated thread title

AK47frizzle Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Ha, i'd still choose the spectre because it looks cooler with the angled mag placement and slightly more chunky

Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted July 17, 2015 Supporters Posted July 17, 2015 Aeg compact that works well is a bit limited how about this http://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/airsoft-weapons-c38/electric-rifles-c45/krytac-krytac-trident-sdp-p4372
straffham Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 The AY Spectre has been around a few months now, the FPS is quoted only around 260-280fps from the "AY V3 Custom gearbox". That and the fact it has no folding stock option puts me off at the moment,also the fire selector functions as the safety, with the de-cocking lever on the opposite side being the semi/full auto selector which may take some getting used too. Takes a 7.4v LiPo or 8.4v NiMh battery in the foregrip (mini Tamiya plug), and made of Polymer rather than ABS allegedly. Good link with more pics here: http://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/p27337/1/product_info.html Airsoft International carried a review a couple of months back apparently but I missed it unfortunately. two_zero 1

Thats about how long I've been tempted XD Good info, thanks!! Not too concerned about the the selectors/levers (unless it's in the way, so that a user that does not have tiny hands keep moving it involuntary), dont tend to fiddle around with them anyway^^ You wouldn't happen to know know which issue by any chance? what is this working out at ??? http://gunfire.pl/product-eng-1152205869-FC-SMG-Submachine-Gun-Replica.html £75 ????

straffham Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 You wouldn't happen to know know which issue by any chance? No but fairly recent, guessing about 3 or 4 issues back, they were supposedly doing a review and an article on upgrading it but I missed it. Might be worth checking the AI website or Facebook page two_zero 1
