If they were to use Nylon or even ABS it wouldn’t be so bad in use, but that material is a pain to print if you’re not set up right. Haven’t used Nylon but ABS can be very hit and miss, especially longer prints.
there’s other material designed for more industrial use but they’re like upwards of $100 for a 500g spool, and doubt you could get a full sten out of one roll plus whatever they feel like charging for everything else involved.
I think the only real way a Sten or similar sized blaster will work is GBB, already exists in airsoft too.
But from an ergo point of view, not many of them are particularly comfy to shoulder. I’ve fired BME’s Sten, not too bad with the loopstock and while the traditional straight stock looks better, it feels like you’re shouldering a car jack and brace with it on… But damn, it does make it look the business.
Same with the Thompsons… if adding all the Pulse Rifle gubbins actually makes them more comfy to shoulder, that speaks volumes about the standard ergos.
Fortunately, the Kar98s, M1 Garands and M1 carbines are pretty good to actually point and shoot.
Gotta agree 100% with you there. I get the collectable side of WWII guns/blasters, but for making an AEG out of they are terrible… and most were made to be quick production rather than ergonomic, ultimately most are tools, and have the ergos of a tool… except the bolt actions.
The submachine guns I like but I’d only collect them, would never opt for them at a game!
The machine guns too, but they will be out of my price range!
Yep they are a chunk of junk if like the real ones. Nearly 5kgs. my forebearers used them. Sten Austen, SMLE, BREN, F1 the everything.
Called typewriters and car jacks for a reason. Good for a wall hangar and that is it. Couldn’t shoulder them why they typewrite and trained from the hip. Just like Vasquez… lets rock
Twin MAG58’s mounted in an M113 turret. Now that fucked peoples days up and they worked
My experience is that any blaster doing around 300fps with a metal gearbox for $300 always sells well. They are $289 at cybertrigger for the next 4 days too… only shame is I don’t want any more M4s, but good for newcomers for sure! At that price I am sure you could upgrade to a metal receiver at some point if the nylon bothered you, and by the looks you’d be in a similar price point, and have a spare receiver. Not bad.
I am keen to tinker with the E&C gearbox, recently did a upgrade on an early E&C that was LDX equipped. Pointless having a spilt gearbox with fake bolt catch, it ties the upper to the lower so you can’t split it. If removing that one feature (which is wank anyway) you could then split it as intended. IMO split boxes are just more variables, and if you are servicing the top end you should be looking at the gears! Glad that E&C went with a non split gearbox. Smart and better.
As for my feelings on them; for a brand that’s been raved about being the best blasters of late, it was just another Chinese made blaster, nothing special. They aren’t bad. They aren’t as amazing as hyped up though. I still prefer CYMA metal blasters, at least until I test the E&C gearbox.
Hmmmm… is there any past or present model of gel blaster, with the possible (and I stress possible) exception of the penis blaster Brad Phillips reviewed that time, that you don’t already own or are planning to buy @BME ?
They’re not Pokémon, ya know… you don’t have to catch them all.
Or… maybe you do…
Wait… you don’t have a FN2000 gel blaster. Yay! I win! Deep dish, cheesey crust, extra anchovies and don’t forget the garlic bread.
Witch hunt…!!
Poor me, the fake news media is out to get me, I’ve been treated so terribly…
A lotta people , can’t believe how badly I’ve been treated, it’s a national disgrace…
Of course I need them all, we have the biggest superpower arsenal in the world, bigly huge, Putin is jealous of my collection…
Xipiang doesn’t even have more, and they are made in China…
As for the penis blaster, it’s too small, why would I want one…
I have a tremendous, bigly huge blaster, a lotta people can’t believe the size of my blaster, that’s why the girls have to sign NDA’s…
Ain’t no blaster freak off, like a p-diddy freak off…
Wait, no , he’s in trouble, never heard of him, terrible guy…bad music, hasn’t released a hit for awhile, what a loser….
I never had a bet with Friendlyfire…he just made a spurious claim…
Like that E.Jean Carrol…terrible woman never met her, she’s not my type, even though i id’d her as my first wife from a photo…that was a blurry photo and a democrat liberal witchunt setup…
So, no pizza for Friendlyfire. In fact , im gonna counter-sue, for reputational damages, and lost buisness due to controversy surrounding the case…
I’m gonna repossess so many pizza’s its unbelievable.
I won’t need any salad though, got enough word salad going on here already.
And, Shadow has yet to produce the exacting number to score him a pizza…he’s running scared now, not game to show his chrono results, and even if he does , and even its the exact 160 fps required…then he’s cheating and its all rigged…!!
So, i’ve won already…!!
( Whew…this method acting takes it out of you…i can only do donald for so long… )
Fk him ignore and move on, just a waste of time. He’ll find out in due course. Not your concern nor mine. Just bla bla bla and changes everyday depending what falls out his mouth or big brainwave he’s come up with.
You’re air, Trump wants to stuff 2 engines in the F35 and “it’s going to be the F55” I don’t like single engines. Yea right, put a fat arse on it after you’ve gone back to the drawing board to redesign the whole plane that they can’t even get Block 4 pushed out as it is very expensive.
They should just extend the F15EX which they have just done a bit as that production is happening if you want a reliable and upgraded gun toting jet fighter.
Similar to Australia gov when there is a change of leadership the new one cancels the last ones and it takes years to gear up, tool up and start getting things off the production line or whatever it is including farming. Like this gov did and had a defence review and cancelled the 450 buy order of the Redback M113 replacements for 50+ year old APC’s that won’t cut it today. You might as well drive around in a Hyundai Getz. Fkn hopeless, then rejuggle all the planned Naval fleet and fucked that up too.
