idk what to think of this gun. it looks alright but kind of fugly. The guage is too far, no one likes to move their gun all the way around to look at a guage. But what do you guys/gals think of this gun

[rikkter]

i remember seeing someone here on AO start making that. it was rather interesting to see. i think its great its gotten that far. despite its unique looks, it can't perform awful bad

[GaryWV]

I shot one at IAO, it was quite heavy but the trigger was pretty nice and real easy to walk, Id get one if the price wasnt so high.

[Benfica4ever]

WHOA!
now thats wierd looking.

[Grasshopper]

I don't like the angle that the trigger is at. May be easy to walk or whatever, but that makes it look a bit... odd I guess.

Pretty cool design, though.

[CaliWagon31]

now that is thinking outside the box

[Matt_mg]

I'm ditching my impulse

[adam shannon]

i shot it at iao. the thing i noticed with that wierd swing feed/bolt thingee is that it had a ton of wear on the moving parts already. it reminded me of the upper feed tray on an m60/mg42. unless they work out the wear issue from two pieces of flat aluminum rubbing each shot i doubt it will take off. it looked like a maintenance nightmare.

[Gitaroo Man]

i don't see any big benefit to having it look like that. maybe i'm misinformed

[adam shannon]

its because it doesnt have a bolt or alot of the other usual internals. so they moved the barrel back as far as possible...probably cuz they could and to make it look diffrent.

[schiesz]

I gotta say I REALLY like how it shortens the marker up. Now to get some real field reports on this thing.

[adam shannon]

they dont even sell them yet, but if you want to dump $800 on a PRE-order on the promise they will actually make them go ahead.

[Nick O time]

this is old

but yeah its one fugly gun imo. why the heck would you want your hopper all the way forward??? i mean there is already the weight of your tank on the back of your gun. eigher the front must be really heavy or that thing must be unballanced like a mofo.

[xadamx]

shortness is nice. looks are crap. apperently it doesnt shoot well and looks to be high matience. if you are willing to trade size for all that then more power. i wouldnt

[FooTemps]

He seemed to be doing better with it when it was bigger. Now that he's shrunk everything down and made it as compact and light as he thought safe with there's been more and more problems.
