bullpup AEG's (specifically Famas)

o1s1n

i was never a lover of bullpup guns. i absolutely HATE the aug. however, recently ive been looking around for a good AEG that wont cost me a fortune. (really would love a g3 sg1, but thats gonna have to wait till i save a bit.)
was looking at ebayhobbyasia's selection. for about €215 you can get a Marui Famas, large battery, charger. with postage included. i couldnt believe how cheap this is. i though it must be for a reason. however every review i read of the gun seems to rate it highly. its extremely well built. only has a slight bit of creak. has the highest fps of any Marui gun. the gearbox is suposidly one of the best and most reliable theyve ever built. the only real problem are its meant to be a bit plasticy, not upgradeable, and replacement parts are hard to find.

visually its growing on me more and more every time i look at a picture of it.
(its nice to see something other then a m4/16 varient)

i was just wondering if anyone has any experience with this? is it cheap for a reason? or actually a really good gun for buttons....

[--SC(+)PE--]

looks pretty, and at least it would be a little different to the norm [m4's m16's ak's and the like]
ive heard its got an insane rate of fire 1000rpm [cant back that up but its what ive heard]

o1s1n

yeah you're right about the 1000bbs a min. saw some footage of it on youtube. looks pretty insane. thanks for telling me about ehobbyasia! its so bloody cheap. well over 1/3 off the prices ive seen on other sites. some weapons are nearly half price.

[--SC(+)PE--]

ya no problem. If i wer gettin a TM id buy from them. Oisin man your more insane then me :rolleyes: ya fall in love with a new gun every week lol.
tought u were going for a g3 or wait was it a vsr10 u were gettin next

o1s1n

and i was getting a FL FAL before that heh
i'm just looking for a nice cheap aeg that i can skirmish with...i'll buy something fancy when i get a summer job

[--SC(+)PE--]

Have a look at www.gunnerairsoft.com their chinese clones seem to be great value and have goten great reviews.
Their bringing out an m14 Clone apparantly i might look into that meself if it performs realy well

o1s1n

yeah that sites excellent. i reckon i'll have to try out one of their rifles at some point. do you know if they are any good so far as upgrades/replacement parts?
just in case the gearbox goes on the fritz

the thought of getting a Marui, batteries and postage for €215 is just too hard for me to say no to. the high cap famas mag is only €18! wolf charge 30 stearling. quite a difference. even if i get stung with VAT, its so much cheaper i dont know how theyre actually making any money

dcx122

that gunnerairsoft looks too good to be true. the chinese clone weapons look good but a bit plasticy. the weapon i was looking at was the m4 s-system. and the clone version is nearly 2 3rds cheaper then the tm version. so i might chance my arm and go for the clone version. if its pants then i will only have lost about €200 altogether. but if it works well then ill save myself a packet.

[--SC(+)PE--]

they have an upgrade service oisin ,$25 for a 1 joule upgrade [some of em are at 1 joule anyway] i believe it would depend on the exact gun when your talking about replacememt parts some of em are meant 2 be compatable with TM/CA are watever the clonee is.

Skatedude

They also have some 2nd hand guns , i've ordered the aug from them with a downgraded spring to bring it back under the 1 joule limit and the shipping is 70$ which isnt as bad as speedys

dcx122

hey skatedude let us know how u get on with the order.

EyesOnly

if its gunnerairsoft your getting it off , post up how long it takes for delivery, im still waiting for mine im impatient

[--SC(+)PE--]

what goodies are ya ordering?

Harekin

Highest FPS? Lol, it says on WGC that it is 271. The stock P90 chrono'd in at 290fps. It has the version 1 gearbox, the P90 has the version 6. And it has the EG560 motor and the P90 has the EG1000 Hi-torque. The FAMAS uses really old parts and to be honest, is cheap for a reason.

I used the P90 cos its a more recent release by the way.

By the way...you live in Bray?! Look at my Location...if Im ever heading up North Ill tell ya, and you the same.

especially read the epilogue at the end

o1s1n

only 25 for a 1 joule upgrade??
that's pretty insane. ah so much choice! if only i were rich
ah yes Harekin, i noticed you were from Bray. know anyone with land around here that we could shoot on? my garden really is getting smaller by the day...the annoying thing is, enniskerry is just across the motorway from my house. so many forests and fields up there. if only i bloody knew someone!
id deffinately be up to heading up the north. although, i have to wait till i get some decent gear. i'm still a bit far off skirmish ready.

oh and whupass i read that last night. laughed my arse off at the end part. i deffinately wont be submitting any rolls of film to my photolab anymore

Harekin

I live very near Old Connaght Avenue so I dont got anywhere either and I dont really know anyone with a field. Maybe we should meet somewhere when my new toy arrives to maybe have a shot of each others guns. Jesus that probably sounds bent but you get the idea (its good to shoot with lots of different guns before you buy anything else).

o1s1n

ignoring the homosexual undertones , yes that does sound like a good idea. i live up around Ardmore. right beside a big field. which would make a really excellent firing range...if it werent for all the surrounding houses and kids playing football.

what aeg have you got coming in the post anyway? i have a friend from kilcoole who'd probabaly be interested in having a go too. he's just after getting a Colt m733. which i am quite looking forward to firing. he paid around €400 total from wolfarmouries. i put more or less the same package together on ehobbyasia for around the €250 mark. was well pissed when i told him

Harekin

Lol, Ardmore I used to hang around up there in my pot smoking days. I have a P90 TR and a King Arms Multi-Reticle Scope on the way. An Post "lost" it tho.

o1s1n

damn you stoner kids, destroying my neighbourhood *shakes his fist in your general direction*

i quite like the p90. looks great with the silencer. the one thing that turned me off however is the damn magazines. and from what ive seen they have those hideous mock bullets. which look even odder where the mag is inserted.
can you get standard looking mags? or do they all look like this?

whupass

hi-cap mags don't have the bullets

o1s1n

*phew*.
those bullets *really* take away from the realistic look of the gun. well, i think so anyway.

[--SC(+)PE--]

Your awfully fond of those p90's arent ya whoopy.;)
Such a compact little beast.

whupass

i love the p-90

believe it or not i've even looked into buying the real steal

the PS90 is a semi auto and $2000

o1s1n

lol how would you go about explaining to your local garda super the reason why you want a p90?

"yeah, we gots some mighty big vermin around here"

[--SC(+)PE--]

believe it or not i've even looked into buying the real steal

jaysus, get that TM P90 soon [ 4 everyones sake lol]

o1s1n

*whupass shows up to a skirmish with the wrong p90, wondering why people keep falling down and not saying "hit" when he shoots at them*

whupass

haha, it's a civilian version so it's not armour piercing and it's semi (they got rid of all the fun )

[--SC(+)PE--]

lol

whupass

haha

i might notice though i'll put up pics in a sec

whupass

P-90



PS-90



see they are different colours and the ps90 is the sbr (short barrel rifle) version so the normal one has a long barrel

[--SC(+)PE--]

Its amazing how much cooler guns look with OD green. Its the same with the steyr i shudder when i look at the civilain blueish/blackish one, but i rather like the military one.
Ya planning on getting a p90 [airsoft 1 of course :rolleyes: ] soon whoopy?

whupass

my parents are weird,

paintball gun is fine because it looks like a paintball gun NOT a real gun

airsoft gun NO NO because it looks like a real gun.

but.. an airsoft shop is ok?

KutjeBef

Dont fill the hi-caps all the way though.

Harekin

The civilian P90 is pants. In most places you need the long barrelled version so its more difficult to conceal, it uses civilian ammuntion which is fairly standard, it has no full auto and only has 20 round magazines. Plus a magazine costs a bloody fortune (cant remember exact figure).

Dont bother ordering an airsoft P90, it'll get "lost" in the post.

whupass

no i reland has no law on sbr's

the mag is 30 stock, but you can get a 50 roungd one for 50$ ish

the ammo is NOT basic but is civilian legal and not armour piercing
