black shot Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Just saw this, Ares is making gas blowback versions of an m4, barret, and WA2000. Also on an interesting side note the barret and WA2000 will also come in paintball and pellet versions, very interesting... http://www.aresairsoft.com/ check under coming soon Link to post Share on other sites
elrey Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 A GBB M82A1, finally. Nothing wrong with a WA2000 or another M4, either... since it's not an AEG. Link to post Share on other sites
Royal-Air-Force Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 A Gas Barret? Awesome. Now it only fails on one point. Such a big gun DESERVES a GBB 8mm version. But a mass produced WA2000 is pretty tasty. Link to post Share on other sites

Hammerfall Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 If it is 8mm i'm going to buy one just so i can *suitcase* on it - before sending it back. Edit: Thankfully it says 6mm Link to post Share on other sites

But a mass produced WA2000 is pretty tasty. If there's a paintball version you could just use reusable paintball rounds. Probably get much better range out of them than 8mm BB's too.

DarkLite Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Woot WA2000. However, ARES/STAR = Fail with things as simple as AEGs, so I shudder to think how craptasticular their GBBs will be. Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: Thankfully it says 6mm Not a big fan of the 8mm myself, kinda hard to find and are quite costly, but seriously 8mm would be kinda pwnage. Hope it doesn't cost so much.

RSM Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I wonder if ARES managed to get hold of an old Ashai (sp?) WA2000 and redid it with the gas solenoid system...as far as I understand that was one of the big things about it because it meant near 0fps variance for a GBB... Link to post Share on other sites

Horsem4n Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 aeris isn't that bad. they are better than Chinese clones. also, theres already been an 8mm GBB Barret and it failed hard. and its Asahi Link to post Share on other sites
tanpanther Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Why's everyone critizing ares so badly? I have own both AWM and DSR, both are great rifles, solid bodies, nice finish quality and shoot fine. p.s. I've been thinking... can a bolt action rifle has blowback?

NeoVeNoM Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Every Ares/STAR I had/ have so far, was top notch quality. It outraged stock CA's is the field and the gearbox runs smoothly. And yes I actually had/have them, not based upon someone, who knows someone, who is friends with someone, who has one. Ah well, to each his own I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
Deano3006 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 i agree star/ares make probly the best guns in airsoft next to PTW,s and yes ive owend guns from all makers these look sweet Link to post Share on other sites
Finius Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 The WA2000 better come out AFTER I've paid the deposit on my Uni accommodation, otherwise, yano, I'm going to be epically poor. Link to post Share on other sites
bal541 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I have to be honest, it's cool theres a gas barrett. But it's being made by ares... and the dsr they made did not impress me at all. So... I'm not that hopeful =( Link to post Share on other sites
föhoni Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I think it s cool that ARES make many snipers with gas or spring action other companys make nothing!! Link to post Share on other sites

Horsem4n Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 yeah, i know. claiming that they are THAT good botheres me too. their DSR wasnt bad. most of the things that were wrong about it (in the AATV review) were their fault. they used 134a, in cold weather and lost the parts on their own accord. they also wrongfully compairsd the gun to a real steel model. that entire review was full of fail on Scaars account. they gun can be easily remidied because it uses AEG barrels and buckings and can take green gas easily.

pforcerecon Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yes!! Finally a gbb barrett. Now an alternative to the ever exclusive hard to find VFC version. Forget Socom's AEG, I'm going this route! Hope their M4 has most the kinks worked out from others, as well as perhaps some compatibility with already available after market parts.
