hey, dont kill the messenger. i only stated i found that statement on a website and reposted it on here. if the OP wasn't true i hope that the rest of you that have read this thread wont give up on this weapon. i love mine and think everyone should own one.So, anyone know for sure who's telling the truth here?
Also, the dealer told me that "lots of AirSoft accessories fit on these". For some reason, that fact just didn't warm my heart. So, I passed on buying one.
if you look at the quality of airsoft products out there, theyre horrifyingly more real looking every year. these airsoft companies are priding themselves by getting weapons as close to spec as possible, with somewhat identical weight, features and accessories. i think its a great thing they are doing this by putting more competitive pricing on aftermarket items that may be almost or as durable as the high priced item. example: 40mm.com has a vertical grip for the M203 grenade launcher. once our troops in te desert found out everyone rushed to the internet to try and order one until they saw the $240+ price tag on the cheapest product (with military discount). i understand supply and demand but that was the big killer on interest for the grip. trust me, theres a big difference between drawing your weapon up for a long time, and drawing your weapon up with a grenade launcher attaches for a long time. its not even comfortable after 60 seconds. its the same type of foregrip used on every other rail system, but it locked onto the 203 tube. if only an airsoft product had been on the market back then with a cheaper price tag, it would have sold by the truckload, IMHO. it could have been more cheaply made, but since it was an external part, if it broke off during a firefight, the performance of the launcher was not hindered at all.Lots of airsoft accessories will fit on any high end AR,HK,you name it as well.
