How good does the XM8 look!!! I WANT ONE NOW lol I saw it on ghost recon 2 (i know, its sad lol) and since then i wanted one!! Anyone know wat the base model is for the XM8??

[arizonabay]

for the conversion kit it's the g36.

In real steel I think they use a salmon...


The thing looks retarded

well, there's the GWA conversion kit coming soon for the G36... but thats it.

[Dickens]

UR JOKIN AINT U??? It looks sweet man! Id buy a G36 just for that, not yet though, cant aford it lol

[happy_cake]

mmmm... i'm not too sure about it myself, i'd take a SCAR over that any day. what's a SCAR you ask? This is a SCAR i say. sorry, that was a bit gay, really. but still, you get the point

[Megalomaniac]

I'd take an M8 over a SCAR anyday, although if I had my druthers I'd druther an LR-300 over both.

[Dickens]

The SCAR is nice mate but SIG rifles have never really floated my boat. H&K all the way lol

G36 > M8. FNC > all.

No, I'm serious. I would much rather have the g36 than butcher it into looking like one of those. I can't even use it in Ghost recon 2

[Dickens]

LOL but ghost recon 2 is a game! Im sure its better in airsoft form. Dont get me wrong the G36 is nice in itself but the XM8 is somthing else, it looks really cool!

Sigh... Well the biggest gripes I got is GWS didn't design their XM8 kit to have the pop-up iron sights and the PCAP atachment points (kinda inportant since there's no Rails to attach anything) don't look to be functional like the real version.

It's a shame other 3rd party guys aren't attempting to manufacture this yet, but I think alot of Hong Kong/Taiwan airsoft guys got burned when they all made G36K conversion and not that many sold...

Oh well here's hoping someone will come out with a proper XM8 conversion.

meh. I just disagree. It looks like a toy

[LoneWolf]

I'd take a M16A4 into battle and trust it. The XM8 looks too plasticy, and the SCAR's front-end is too weak in looks.

Can I just ask why this is in the 'News' forum...

It's not news...

My opinion: If you were on the receiving end of an AK47, you'd be scared. If you were on the receiving end of an M16, you'd be scared. If you were on the receiving end of an (X)M8, you'd think it was going to fire sucker darts at you...

i think it looks "gifted"

[Dickens]

I will agree that it looks weak, but i suppose (or i am hoping) someone else will make a good XM8 conversion kit. Ah well we can dream. And it doesnt look like a toy.... id be worried if someone pointed one at me :-( lol

I don't mean that the kit looks lame. I mean that the real gun looks lame. On top of which hasn't the performance on the things been incedibly poor as well(not to get into too much real steel performance)? So, we've got an airsoft kit based off of a gun that no one is using, that is a real steel underperformer supposedly, that looks like a fish/squirt gun being made while there are tons of proven, used and cool guns that are yet to see the slightest light of day. grrrr

[Dickens]

Calm down lol i shouldnt have said anything, would it make u feel better if i told u im not gettin it anyway, ive got my sights set on an ICS M4 (solid stock), so dont worry lol

You realise the XM8 is a G36, but improved. So saying a G36 is better is pretty stupid/

[Dickens]

who said the G36 is better?? I said the G36 is good but i didnt say it was better
