gavinkempsell Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 Sorry for the Lucifer quote... Looking for inspiration, I have a small list of Rif's I would like to buy as they appear in the classifieds or at a decent price new, but most of them are variations of pews I already have. What rif, pistol, shotgun would you buy as and when the opportunity presents itself? The more unusual the better. n.b. not upgrades. my list includes, MP9 SPAS12 M60 VN Walther P38 MP5K L119A2 etc...
MrTea Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) I've got an MP9, Masada/ACR and L85A2 so list goes; L86 LSW F2000 Tavor WA2000 Scar-H VorpalBunny AM.45 and P90 just because it annoys people and they're rare. Often used as wall hangers rather than in games APS CAM870 AK12 MP5SD The amount of people who've asked about my MP5 when I've played with it has me thinking they're considered rare in the UK. Edited September 21, 2023 by MrTea gavinkempsell 1
DanBow Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 A decent MP5. Ive only played a couple of games so far and picked up a lovely Valken M4 but my dream RIF is an MP5. It was seared on to my brain by the hooligans from Hungerford going for a little tea party at the Iranian Embassy when i was a wee nipper. gavinkempsell 1
Colin Allen Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 QBZ-95. A decent Browning Hi-Power/L9A1. gavinkempsell and Algy 2
RostokMcSpoons Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 A gas blow back Bren would be pretty damn awesome A gas F2000 would be super cool As would a Sterling SMG Otherwise I share a couple of the usual suspects already mentioned... and some others - all gas blow back because of the real steel feels Browning Hi Power L1A1 SLR HK G3 HK MP5 (original style hand guard) L85, or even better an XL60 gavinkempsell 1
Popular Post C-Diddy Posted September 21, 2023 Popular Post Posted September 21, 2023 Like Rostok "I have no affiliation with DE" McSpoons, I'm a big gas blowback fan, so GBB versions of: MP5 A3/SD6 WA2000 M1 Garand Browning Hi-Power Ruger P90 (x 2, Antonio Banderas style) Galil L115A3 BigStew, Jacob Wright, MrTea and 2 others 3 2
Cannonfodder Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 For me top of the list would be a H&K G11, but it'll need to have the correct rof on 3 round burst setting. Followed by (in no particular order) WA2000, Gas powered SPAS 12, M2 Stinger (this ) gavinkempsell 1
Jaylordofwaargh Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 I have two M4 variants, I don't want another so I guess my (wish) list has shrunk down to one of each platform - mp5 or close - short pointy AK - a useable "Cutlass" (m92 long barrel, it's a 90's kid thing) - then on the more unusual in the G14 G33 (both g36 variants) and a p90..... gavinkempsell 1
Herrgh Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 I'd love a Type 89 that ran off a standard V2 or V3 gearbox and took standard AEG parts. No need for mechanical 3-shot burst now that Peruns and Gates are a thing. gavinkempsell, Algy and Hudson 3

The DrabOlive Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 I'm looking at a Licensed M4, and I'm torn between the Umarex H&K 416 or the Cyma EMG DD M4A1. They both look great, perform well but CYMA is cheaper and the QBS and internals are highly praised. Also CYMA is cheaper. I have heard bad things about both (including horror stories about the CYMA) so advise would be great! gavinkempsell 1

VFC / Umarex AEGs don't have the best reputation - Luke @ Negative Airsoft has a hatred it seems! (Their gas blow-backs are much better).

Super64 Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) Off the top of my head, there’s 3 guns I’d really like at the moment, obviously GBB’s: VFC MP5SD VFC M110K1 A GBB M16 or M4 with the A2 solid carry handle. Edit Also a full weight GBB M249. The feel of the VFC version is just wrong. Edited September 22, 2023 by Super64 C-Diddy 1
RostokMcSpoons Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) What is the obsession with the solid carry handles on M16s? The removable ones are surely good enough, plus give the option of a modern optic if needed? Having said that, I'll put up with one on an XM-177. But that's because I really like the super-long flash hider aesthetic Or the full-monty M16A1, as I had a toy one when I was a kid and loved it. (Embarrassingly, I outgrew the damn thing but still ran around with it in my garden, to the point I made a wooden stock extension for it to increase the length of pull!)

gavinkempsell Posted September 22, 2023 Author Posted September 22, 2023 Just now, RostokMcSpoons said: What is the obsession with the solid carry handles on M16 For me it's the historic 'feel', I have 1 with a solid handle because I wanted it to be an historically correct M16A1 VN with a 3 prong flash hider, 2 others have carry handles on picatinny rails, the rest are just picatinny with a combination of optics & iron sights. It's all down to personal preference tho isn't it? My prop L1A1 is obviously molded from one with wooden furniture but the carry handle was polymer (this bugs the hell out of me). RostokMcSpoons 1
Jacob Wright Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 I'd have to say; - Bren gun - MP5K - MWS based L119A1 - P226 to replace the one I sold! gavinkempsell and C-Diddy 2

Although I've not taken the plunge myself, I was tempted based on how frickin cool the Gary Gordon/Danny Archer CAR-15s are. I suspect that, plus Larry Vickers are the root causes. Jacob Wright 1

The A2 style carry handle upper is the one hole in the GBB AR market. As a collector and an AR fan, there’s a gap in my collection that I would like to fill relating to early GWOT builds. Especially the M16/M203 combo. gavinkempsell 1
