There is a new rifle on the market and it be a sexy beast. The Socom Gear M200. It looks great and I would love to see how she performs as well as how she looks up close in detail. Here's the only link I could find of it.

That's why you never use US based stores, http://redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Sniper_Rifles_Socom_Gear_Socom_Gear_Cheytac_M200_Sniper_Rifle.htm .

It uses 8mm bbs so its crap for long range, about 440 with a .20g 6mm as said in the video.

Shell ejecting, mag cap of 7, only comes with 5 though. 31 pounds heavy, that's a lot of weight, 53 inches = 4.5 feet so long as well not sure about the inner barrel tough.

When will a airsoft company make a big calibre sniper rifle that can actually fire further than I can throw?
It's too big, it's too heavy, it's too expensive and it doesn't shoot any better than a

Man, if you can throw a bb 250 feet away I would be amazed.

Lol, I went out side and tried to trow a bb and it went about 20-25 feet. So I would love to see that as well.

MY only thing with airsoft versions of the .50 cal guns is that they never deliver the same trade off.

In the Real world, you get that nice RANGE advantage for having to lug around this monstrosity.

But in airsoft, you get all the work, and none of the benifits. So... meh.

On the other hand, yes indeed it is one sexy looking gun. And the attention to detail is 1/1. I love that gun. But I would never spend over a thousand dollars on a gun that doesnt out preform my Echo1 ASR.

That being said. I do want to see how it preforms on Co2. If you read the description on Red Wolf, it says something about a Co2 magazine and checking local laws because of the speed. Now that might be interesting.

I heard the rumor of the Co2 mags too. It is false, it uses the bolt to hold the gas and it supposedly has a longer gap in between the BB and the cylinder head(if that is what it is called in gas guns). So therefor, it loses alot of FPS.

 

[ronin055]

Well there goes its last redeaming factor.

I guess Ill stick with my ASR. And if I want a heavy gun, Ill get out the G96D.

Of course anyone can throw a baseball 250 feet, but a BB, that is not even physically possibly(As far as I know)

Who said anything about throwing a BB?
Anyway back to the gun...
I re-read the Redwolf description and I am having a change of heart about this lump of metal.
The gas bolt might be it's saving grace and I bet the ejecting brass cases wouldn't get boring for atleast a week.

 

[silentfury214]

YOU did!

[blackfoot1]

The gun is obviously firing a BB, but I don't mention any details about what I'm throwing lol.

 

[silentfury214]

Someone else made the comment about the baseball, but you implied that you could throw a bb farther than the thing shoots.
