hi, im new to airsoft, i went to my local airsoft shop (about 2 mins away ) i've looked at reviews of loads of stuff and went to the shop with a pretty good idea of what i wanted. i was after the ca g36c, but when i saw the aug i thought that would be better (being a bullpup it will be more balanced and id of thought, more accurate with a barrel twice the length of the g36c), so i tell the guy this and he says that if im after a bullpup i should wait for the new sa80. i thought great, id love an sa80, but the only one i have seen is the star, which costs a fortune and i have heard has less than desirable internals. the guy told me that this new sa80 will be a G&G aeg. he said it even has a bolting action like the real thing built in and it well be under £300. i thought 'fantastic', but i want a gun now the guy told me it would be out at the end of this month or july. so i guess i'll wait as it sounds really good. my question is tho, i have scoured the net looking for some shred of info and i have found absolutely nothing
so, has anyone else heard anything??

[Crazy_Harry]

absolutely nothing mate- unless this guys got some secret information that only he's privvy to, I'd be tempted to think this was a wind-up.

Shame- a quality SA80 for around the $300 would be nice

[dechande]

i doubt its a wind up as hed be stopping me from spending a load of cash

[Crazy_Harry]

I know, but there's no info on G&Gs website and no-one here's heard of anything.

Obviously, thats not conclusive proof of it being a wind-up. All we can do is keep the old fingers crossed and see what happens

[evilliboba]

Being I'd still love to have a SA80. And if there was one for under $600 (STAR quality is meh) I be sure to be getting one.

Eww........G&G

[doom6668]

Would this be Airsoft Warehouse by any chance? They do have a lot of G&G stuff. I'd be interested to know more.

Well, when it happens I'll believe it, up until then I wont because I think this guy in the shop you went to has a degree in talking out of his rear end.

I just don't think they are a reliable as CA or TM, but they are very well finished

/Agreed

My group won't be buying any more G&G's after all three of the one's we have started breaking on us in 3 different ways. (Two UMP's and one SR 25) While I think they're good guns, I just think there are better quality guns available.

If you can get the same gun from a better manufacture then why not do it eh?

[DrewLawson]

The fact of the matter is you can't get the same gun from a better manufacture.

Who would that be? Star? What's their price again?

[Gozer the Carpathian]

I never said anything about this particular gun, just G&G in general. In this case, I think the G&G would probably be better for you instead of the Star just in sheer cost alone. Though I would warn anyone who got one to be prepared for breakdowns in the near future.

Personally I don't own a G&G and never will. With the companies copying one another and releasing similar guns (Not every gun mind) I'm more than willing to wait for a better release of a gun I want.
