Today, I went on to redwolf to ogle at the WE AFC M16A3, and was greeted by this

Thank you, communist China. Why must Hong Kong be a Chinese SAR? WHY?! Looks like I will be getting a WE SCAR after all, unless I can find some other way.
Perhaps this is an excellent time to become a grenadier.... what if..... what if.... what if I bought the WE SCAR and an Ares EGLM?
Hmmm.......

$540...? Not worth it in my opinion unless you're never going to buy a gun ever again..

Well, chances are, I'd only be buying upgrades, propane, and bbs for a couple of years. I don't really have to have a grenade launcher though. You're right, it would probably be a better idea to buy mags instead of a grenade launcher.

why not get the VFC scar it will save you on the propane, plus it's pretty beast. but thats just a an idea. it's also kinda a good idea because of the climate change. Unless you absolutely on a gas gun.
it's sad though an M16 would be one smexy mofo don't see them much.

Nah, I don't want an AEG. I just want gas gun because I am one persistent, stubborn son-of-a-gun.
And besides, gas will work for me all the time because I live in a warm environment.

Hmm never tried a pdw, but i would go with the scar. but really it just depends on what role you are going to play, and which one you will be glad with

I love the PDW, the Bravo RDW (AEG version) was on the top of my list for a while...

That looks very nice, just be sure you'll be able to find extra parts for it, that gun looks quite unique

It's a WE, so parts shouldn't be too hard to get. And if it comes down to it, the guy at my gun shop can always order parts for me. I think the worst thing about it will be getting mags. At nearly $30 a pop ($1 per bb ), it may take me awhile to get enough mags. (I'll need eight to be field ready)

I think it's compatible with regular gas M4 magazines because the AEG version can use regular AR mags. Dunno if M4 mags are any cheaper though...

holy crap! that aeg can shoot realsteel? so i can use my AR15 magazines pumped full of 5.56mm rounds with my AEG and there will be no compatibility issues?!?!? w00t!lol im just kidding with your drummerboy ^^ anywho gas mags are expensive... i want to buy a gbbr as well but they are too expensive for my taste (i could save up, but i have a bad habit of spending) but i assume the most effecient GBBR would be a DMR because you are spending time trading plastic with everyone on the field and you can take your time with your shots thus using your 30rd magazines (lets assumes you have only 3) very efficiently. and that was pretty much what the gun you had before was, wasn't it?

@Drummer I am talking about the standard WE STANAG mags, nevermind the fact the PDW uses different, 32-round mags, haha. I'M SCREWED!
@NN2H No, the gun I wanted before was the WE AFC M16A3

I'm seeing a lot of parts for GBBRs on Redwolf that aren't labelled as "not for sale in USA." I wonder if you could find enough parts to build a gun out of? I'm going to investigate this myself and report back.
Edit: and just then Redwolf goes down. Darn it.
Edit: woohoo, Redwolf is back up! That wasn't long at all.
Edit: Hold on, where on the Inokatsu on Redwolf does it say it doesn't ship to the US? It says that on many other things, but not this one. And you could frankenstein a GBBR out of aftermarket parts, but needless to say it would be much more expensive.
