I can shoot right handed accurately but i dont like to and i should not have to after all this is a lesure sport so we should be able to use whatever hand we find comfortable to use:):p

Leftyflip

Wtf is a "leisure sport"??
That's like golf (that's not a sport) or fishing (that's an excuse to be a fat b*stard). I find bullpups much nicer to use right handed rather than left handed, but I'm weird... If you don't wanna do it then don't, simple as really.

for all those cqb lovers,this would be a nice piece of kitf

Rooky1

Now is there one for an M4..

Puding

Any more information? Looks like the madbull system , unfortunatly having the co2 source in the grip is a pain as you having to change both it and the mags in the field at differant times as it's still only a 12g canister

edit: actually looks very like the madbull version do you have a link to where it was originally posted? would be interested if they did release a cleap version of this always had an itch to do a dmr spr with one of these kits

Cybergun and FN, this should be good:) new SCAR and F2000, Sweet, sign me up:D

not really new models just existing models rebranded with the cydergun markings, pitty they have the rights but insist on not doing accurate markings same goes with uramax

also cybergun being taken to court by one of there other partners

Arizona based firearms manufacturer, Smith & Wesson has, on 17th June 2010 in the District of Arizona, filed a lawsuit against French airsoft retailer Cybergun, S.A., alleging Trademark Infringement, and Federal Unfair Competition related damages.

Smith & Wesson entered into a license agreement with Cybergun in 2005, giving Cybergun exclusive rights to use Smith & Wesson ‘Marks’ on licensed articles which included Airsoft guns, targets and ammunition, i.e. BBs. This license also extended to advertising and promotional material but express permission and approval had to be obtained from S&W for Cybergun to authorize third parties to use S&W ‘Marks’ in their promotional material.

Rebranders have less scruples than cloners, it takes effort to r&d and reverse engineer a product, and produce it in house.

It takes a laser etcher and a legal division to do what cybergun, uramax and all these other crowds do. Often time the laser etcher is owned by the cloner, and the only contribution made by the 'rights holder' is a financial one to a company not interested in the least in airsoft.

At least Magpul engaged with AGM and hammered out a deal, who are these poxxy middle men Uramax?

Is it rubbish? I heard it was semi only or something too.

I'd love drop in gbb gearboxes, even an external rig option would make it interesting.

well rubbish not really a good description it goes what it says on the tin but has some disadvantages and limitations

from everything i've read you can get about 80 - 100 rds on one 12g co2 cartridge so if your using low caps you could get about 3 -4 mags before a co2 change was needed, so changing them in the field is a bit of a pain, it is limited to semi personally not really a down side for me but for others this could be a down side) you can adjust power but need to use a short barrel to obtain a sub joule power. On the up side it is drop in and takes standard aug mags, and the aeg barrels and hop ups are still compatible

as i said i had looked into these for a dmr project as a lot of the downsides where removed or limited but never got round to it
