No, that was the Madbull 470, which was a big flop and didn't have any sort of reciprocating "blowback" device. It was also powered by onboard 12g CO2.

This is Escort's. Blowback (though it looks like a pretty short stroke), and external gas. It will also lack the bolt stop feature that they can add to SP M16s.

I'm so glad I kept my G36 !

I haven't touched it in months, but now...

And I've already got an HPA tank and remote coil kicking around - and a rig to carry them...

Yahoo!

so is this a drop in replacement or would i have to get a new gun? from what i gather, its drop in, correct?

Sure looks like it.

I also have a remote line with On/off laying around, as well as an HPA tank and about 6-8 CO2 tanks... wohoo!

Gas powered mechbox huh... mabey I'll invest when they come out with a diesel version...

KABOOM! lol

:smack:

Could you fit a can of air in your stock?

Where there's a will, there's a way, right?

This actually strikes me as perfect for something like an M249. Reduce the BB capacity in the box and hide a small gas canister in there.

you know drake that's not a bad idea but I would rather not reduce the bb capacity and I like the biggest "power source" in my saw as possible. I will definately look at my saw tonight and figure if I could fit a V2 mechbox in it without to much modification, but it should fit I would just need to machine up some spacers as the current mech box is about twice as wide as a V2

I use a 9 oz. CO2 bottle which is about 2" round and 12" long, fits perfectly into my hydration pouch next to the HydraStorm. The water in the sac weighs more than the bottle does. I get well over a thousand rounds off it, probably double that. Never bothered to keep count. ;) I have a baby 3.5 oz. tank that I'll post pics of later, that's lasted me many mags on full auto. I usually use it as a backup in case my main runs dry.

I'm totally getting some of these for guns that can't otherwise take an Escort conversion (or would be too expensive to convert). GBB G36C would be kickass!!! :D

Hey wait, now I won't have such exclusivity over the GBB rifle realm anymore! NOOOOOOOOOO! ;)

Its funny how all the newbs are all against external gas tanks. Guys... relax, they're not actually guns OK. And theres no chicks to impress so who cares how it looks?

I'd prefer an external tank over leaky/expensive mags

I got dibs on the SP16. $20.

So where can I actually get one of these... I'm all in for hooping my ak up for summer season.

Its not even totally about the looks (although it does negate from the overall look). If I had an external tank most likely I would not want it attached onto to the gun because it throws it off balance, so i would have to wear the tank in the vest. It would still bug me. Feels like I'm running around with a corded phone in the bushes and branches during a milsim getting all tangled up. I would still prefer internal gas like I'm use to with air guns. Insulating the tanks helps somewhat in cold weather. On hot summer days the Co2/air would own.

Would a cylinder fit into a rifle stock pouch?

But yeah, even if you did need to run a cord to a backpack it wouldn't be that bad.
