Stens and grease guns are shabby bits of kit but meh, that's what they used so it's not an issue of attractiveness for me.

I quite like them actually, I think they have a simplistic charm, I'm probably just being simple. :whistle:

I'm currently fabricating one. 'Simplistic' is not a term i'd currently use. :lol:

one, then a further two. :wink: Though i've been temporarily distacted by some pretty 20mm stainless steel tube that i'm using to make a replacement cylinder for my SMLE so it'll hold a 200% spring...

I have! i really want my SMLE so i can use is at Op. Lightning, can't beat playing a partisan and sniping at whatever side i'm not on! :wink:

Timing means that having the first sten sorted for then is unlikely. It's looking probable for the ucap game though, and as i'm playing Axis for that, if it's ready, you're welcome to test it there.

I already have the shoei mp44 but its a heavy expensive beast, and having to lug around the co2 can makes it a hard days work, so i will probably get one of these as finances allow..... roll on midcaps though...... as chommers said its got to be better than lookalike aks etc....

I think everyone should get one. Whether you use it or not is a different question and better sorted out in the game rules.

If AGM sell loads, maybe they will make a cheap sten, Bren and G43 or a LE no4. If they sell only a few, they might abandon making any more WW2 guns!

There is a Bren in development, but its not going to be a cheapsoft one. If I remember correctly JTG are going to be making a limited run of Mk II Bren's

brilliant marketing strategy, the world is in the biggest recesion since the early eighties so lets make another much wanted airsoft weapon no-one can afford...... when are they going to realise they can make more money selling 500 cheap ones than 20 expensive ones?

From a business point of view, a small run of high-cost items that you're pretty much guaranteed to sell all of is a far better proposition than a massive run of a low-cost product that you've no idea is going to sell.

Prime example? Anything from Shoei.

it seems over 60% of german players have more than 1 period weapon, thats an amazing amount

im sure the mix and veriaty of weapons will mean nothing gets too dominant
untill a cheapsoft MG comes out :rofl:

Urgently need to know the measurement of an MP44 magazine from the bottom to top at the rear. Straight point between the two, not following the curve of the back.

Cheers :)
