bjorn Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Yay, more ver.2 "godness"!. NOT needed. B. Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I disagree. Although it is fairly expensive, we do need more Barrett goodness. Ben. Link to post Share on other sites

pforcerecon Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Very nice find indeed..even though the price is hefty there, at least its a lot better than that of the VFC gas version Link to post Share on other sites
Hispeed1 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Wa0! That just made my wish/to-buy list! Link to post Share on other sites
Xeno-Morpheus Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'd like to see a china clone CO2 or "Black gas" version of the M82A1. Preferably one that works properly Should have at least used 8 mm BBs for this gun and not regular 6 mm... Link to post Share on other sites
leon_london Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 6mm would make it alot more site and user freindly in the UK Link to post Share on other sites
Angry Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 AEG?! Pah. It needs to be 8mm, fire a CO2 bulb with every shot and then eject the bulb like a spent case. Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I have nothing against AEG SA Barret but ver.2 gearbox? Come on ppl! Also, I bet it features M16 style hopup chamber too. That would be a laugh. Bjorn Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Once again, who makes that V2 CO2 gearbox? Madbull? Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Ha excellent! hopefully my MadBull M470 C02 mechbox fits into nicely Link to post Share on other sites
elrey Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hey guys, check out my .50 cal! *whiiiir ratatatatata* Link to post Share on other sites
slu Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 AEG?! Pah. It needs to be 8mm, fire a CO2 bulb with every shot and then eject the bulb like a spent case. That would be awesome. Even more so if you direct 2% of the gas forward for propulsion, and the rest back for massive blowback. Link to post Share on other sites
rws591 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 The end is nigh, call of duty crying tweens will now exist in airsoft. I can hear, "MOOOOOOM where my *fruitcage* chocolate milk" already. Link to post Share on other sites
Versus Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 At $750? Where the *fruitcage* do you live in the US? The state of Bizarroland? We won't see these in the hands of tweens, rest assured. Link to post Share on other sites
smelsonlaflin Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Yeah, this AEG sniper weakness is bothersome. I was let down by the Real Sword Dragunov too. $750 is still the cheapest Barret ive seen nonetheless, so i suppose thats nice. Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 And probably cheaper even if you ask it to be custom made. Will probably be getting one, unless something else tells me otherwise, like my dying wallet. Link to post Share on other sites
Shinden Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Been awhile guys, I've been out for long. Anyways right now the AEG market is still widely used, but wait for a bit as the Barret series will bring out much more exciting versions. This is just the first limited run so afterwards things will be different for sure. Then again regarding young teens playing COD4 buying Barrets, that has happened before COD4 came out, but if there are clones of the Barret then yes, that's going to happen, but all that weight and size isn't going to make them better players.

DeltaFarce Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I think this is something I will be watching with great interest, I've always been a fan of the barrett rifles but unfortunately with previous variants ive either not had the money or was unaware of them until discontinued. So when I saw the socom gear M107 advertised I was intrigued but also somewhat suspicious, the first problem for me is that im unfamiliar with the company behind it so I've no idea what their build quality is usually like (some of you may be able to advise me here). The second possible problem is the price, I feel I should be happy about it but an airsoft barrett costing $750 when all previous models and kits have been around $1200-$1600, but again it makes me wonder what the quality will be like as generally in life you get what you pay for. For example the Top m60 I bought for approx £500 ($700) was riddled with faults in design and build quality however the Inokatsu m60 i now own cost £1200 ($1600) is by far one of the most awesome peices of kit i've ever laid eyes upon. So in short i think i shall hold onto my money until there's some sort of review and then if they seem good wait for the m82a1 which they're also allegedly going to produce.

föhoni Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 OH it ok to see they produced barretts but a co2 or even green gas berrett with 8 mm bbs way better think the aeg v2 its not the best thing for snipping an gas with big blowback this was realy cool! hope other companys makes barretts with gas an bigger bbs Link to post Share on other sites
CommieHunter Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I wouldn't be overly worried about the quality of this gun. Debate the benefits of Electric/Gas or V2/V3 all you want, but I wouldn't knock the quality. SOCOM Gear is MadBull's sister company, and they've only produced fine products in the past. I have their Daniel Defense Lite rail systems and they're fine pieces of kit. Link to post Share on other sites
leon_london Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Guys why are so many people saying they want a 8mm version? I thought 8mm BB's where generally less accurate and a pain becuase theres a lack of upgrades and the FPS conversions. Link to post Share on other sites
RSM Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Its more the numbers required to get comparable performance out of 8mm BBs would make people's eyes bulge and say no while flailing arms before looking at the physics involved. That and I don't think 8mm BBs on the market are made to the same quality as currently used sniper ammo but, airsoft snipers use 6mm .43s, I would like to see the performance of 8mm .43s fired when fired from a hypothetical VSR like platform. On topic, can't say I care much for this replica but I wouldn't mind the RIS mountable folding carry handle for a project. Link to post Share on other sites
madbull Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 This is from MadBull: (1) Why use ver. 2 gearbox instead of CO2 blowback? We did a survey in USA. Players are prefer AEG version which they can bring to battle field. A semi-auto gas version is cool for collection but not good for Airsoft game. More over, M4 ver.2 gearbox can be upgraded easily. You don't have to worried about the spare parts. (2) Why $750? Ok, this price already cheaper than other manufacturers. Plus, we have to pay $50 to Barrett each gun for licensing. This one is built from scratch. We use the real Barrett dimension to build up this gun. Even the dissemble function is the same as real gun. You will be surprised about the quality. (3) Gas version coming too? We don't know yet. It may be cool for collectors but not cool for Airsoft players. (4) ETA: April. Made in Taiwan with 100% Barrett Rifles licensing and blessing! IT will be also sold on Barrett's website. Link to post Share on other sites
