A wonderful gift from my Fiancee Brandi :-*

Wow, never new about those... You got spects and stuff?

 

[elphantasamo]

8mm
Gas Blow Back
shoots .34g ~375FPS on green gas (equivalent to .2g @ 490FPS)
uses 8 round "CLIPS" (YES Clips is the proper term here)
Empty clips eject from the rifle when empty (like real-steel does)
Full metal and wood construction

Any thing else you need to know?

 

[pearldrummer919]

ive got a few questions.

how much does that mofo weigh? i have used a real M1 Garand and it is very heavy and not that well ballanced (in my opinion)

being that its a blowback, how is the felt recoil (if any)?

last question, for now, about how far does it shoot?

 

[elphantasamo]

Un Company says 3.5 Kg or 7.7 Lbs
Still very well balanced.

recoil is greater then a .22 rimfire. Very impressive for a "toy"

With the hop properly adjusted, maybe 150 foot range or better.
Im working on mods to take power away from the blowback and add more power to push the BB downrange

How accurate is the ghost sight on that baby?

It works well, but the hop bucking still needs to break in. the shots are somewhat erratic :

I've only shot 400 rounds or so through it

 

[deadeyesniper]

So are you going to keep it as like a colector piece or are you actualy going to play with it?

 

[sarge]

I would just use it to practice shoot and mount it.

As of right now, its not skirmish practical. I can't get more then 3 clips out of it for each gas charge

If WWII airsoft becomes more popular, I'll build myself an airborne loadout.

My original intention was for an M1C Sniper rifle. Now Im just going to leave it alone externally
