    MAGPUL PTS PDR
    -Similar construction materials to MAGPUL Masada.
    -Accepts M4 magazines

    I wonder if it will be better than the masada, and who the OEM is.

    A video by shwell on an interesting product by elite force that I hope gets released by them or other companies around the world.

    After building a version 2 gearbox today out of different parts, this would have made it a lot easier.

    Anyone notice this pic on VFC's FB page? That's right, it looks like a VFC MP7 is on the way!

    Goes to show the Gardai are actually taking the 1j limit seriously now.
    http://www.live95fm.ie/News-Sport/Article/?ItemID=13654

    (If you look at the URL the Media placed the story under the News-Sports category wonder are they finally
    seeing airsoft classified as a sport?)

    I'm wondering which shop sold the item in question and what the state is going to do with that information + will we ever find out which shop it was?

    He could have changed the spring in it himself to put it over the limit and blamed the retailer when he was caught with it.

    +1 any eastern european airsofters that I have spoken with have often scoffed at the 1j limit.

    That's because most airsofters adhere to the following line of thinking: FPS = range, therefore greater FPS = greater range.

    Let them scoff. All the more entertaining to watch their reaction when they become "educated" on the matter in a practical sense.

    To add:

    Ballistic coefficient is a function of mass, diameter, and drag coefficient. It is given by the mass of the object divided by the diameter squared that it presents to the airflow divided by a dimensionless constant i that relates to the aerodynamics of its shape.

    So I'm very interested in the practical option ;)

    :D:D:D
    scoff, scoff

    I'm not 100% agreed with you, that all of the eastern airsofters are like that, but thats not the matter here. I understand whats your point there and I'm totaly agreed with that. :)

    And this is why we made the recent change in adverts.. we don't care what it says on the box, we want proof via a chrono.

    By the way, it anyone has any bright ideas on how we could enforce this on an internet forum, please don't hold back :)

    Just in case anyone missed it and isn't a fan of GBBs, KWA are making an AEG version of the Kriss Vector!

    Thank God!

    Nothing against GBBs but I have never found them practical in Ireland. I am personally very happy I waited, what think ye?

    Probably! :P As far as I am aware they already have a v.2 prototype done though so that is encouraging!

    I'm surprised they did not try to incorporate the new "ERG" gearbox!

    Looks like WE have jumped on the MP7 band wagon.

    Although the outside in different I wonder if the mags and internals are TM compatible like the Glock series.

    Every manufacturer seems to be getting on the MP7 bandwagon lately, would not surprise me if Carlsberg started to make them because if they did.............

    TM though are the plastic kings though so that would be my choice.

    Are MP7s still popular?

    I thought everyone was over the mp7 and moved on to obsessing over the kriss vector?

    Popular = no, much loved + on many wish lists = yes and it's not possible to be over the MP7 :D

    Also, as far as the KRISS goes, meh :P

    Recent photographic evidence in a thread not so far away would suggest they are quite popular in Cork :)
    Wouldn't say no to one myself but have yet to see an Irish site stocking them. ToySoldiers.com had them advertised on Facebook but unless I missed it they weren't up on their website. I could be wrong, in fact would love someone to post up a link to an Irish site selling them....
