Ugly AK

    Just to set the record straight from the outset I like AKs, but when I saw this on http://airsoft-news.eu/
    I had to wince. Sometimes you can take RIS accessories too far and some AEGs should maybe not have any at all.

    Scratches chin and thinks about a picatinny mount for a usb coffee mug warmer. I'm sure I could splice it into the AEG battery. Might only get a mag of bb's off but it'd keep my bovril warm of a winters day :D

    Yeah I agree that Waffle Mag ruins the look of it totally !!

    A laser designator, a red dot and a scope. You'd feel pretty stupid if you missed :D

    I don't think you would even have to pull the trigger on one of those in a skirmish. The other side would be so paralysed with laughter you could just walk over and "Bang" kill them :D

    I think its a scope magnifier but the point about feeling stupid still applies :)

    Wouldn't look too bad on a real AK:D

    Ah that makes sense you wouldnt feel like such a complete numpty if nobody could see you carrying the monstrosity at night :D

    At least with that funky M4 we all know that somebody is trying to take the p!$$ ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25

    The only good thing about this is that it's "limited edition" so Kings Arms won't be flooding the market with this complete and utter load of honk! :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭hoplite


    Could'nt resist :p

    its the simplicity of the AK that makes it so well none and so easy to get

    so real AK's are for simplethins(joke)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    this is worse that the clone vs brands debate,

    AKs are not bad(rs) is cool

    M4 ,how do u make the m4 better(remove the front sight chuck the rest away) dosent work in rs ,

    SCAR is sexyist of the lot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25


    Fabulous piece of engineering (pioneered by Germans, let us remember the MP44), and about as best a design for its purpose as you can get.

    But there's just so many (reportedly, 30 millions made) everywhere all the time for the last few decades that it's just... a bit boring.

    Whereas an M4, moderatly tricked out, can approach sexiness (HK 416 is getting there), an AK should always be left well alone - it's approaching sexiness enough of its own: to me, the end result of a RIS'd AK always looks a bit like a Jag Mk2 with a big spoiler, body kit, neons and a sports exhaust :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    you have to love german technology and just in case the Sturmgewehr 44 (StG44) was what ambro25 is talking about,

    the 416 not bad but its on the right track

    Magpul'S PDR is a little sexy number
