News from Mad Bull this morning. See below for the information from Simon @ Mad Bull.
Features:
Rechargeable (2xAAA rechargeable batteries not included)
USB Power adapter (You can charge it by your computer or you can buy regular USB home or car charger.)
Extreme power save function
What would be really cool about this USB Chrono, would be the ability to record results to the Windows Clipboard when connected via USB. Event Organizers can keep a spreadsheet of the attendees’ chrono results during signup.
Would be a cool feature indeed. Keep on dreamin’ people.
No, you don’t need to take your computer with you to charge this thing - a cigarette lighter adapter for USB devices will work very conveniently - it’s still fun to think about.
Here are the actual features of the product, as listed by Mad Bull (I’m a fan of the tripod adapter on the bottom):
OMFG. Words cannot describe my level of frustration. Selecting the JG M4 S-System as my base gun was probably the worst possible thing I could have done.
In short, I’m better off building the gun from scratch.
After disassembling the SIR front-end, receiver, and trying to comprehend how I’m ever going to attach the S-System’s proprietary outer-barrel to my D-Boys Metal Receiver - I gave up. Instead I found someone who had a lightly used CA M15-A2 (I believe) outer barrel. The model without the notch for the grenade launcher. Which is probably what I should’ve done to begin with, as the original 3D Render I was working from doesn’t have that notch anyways. So, all is good in the world. Right.
Back on topic… now that I’ve decided to keep the S-System intact, I needed a new source for some internals. Luckily for me, a good friend of mine operates the Xtreme-Tactics Online Store. He was able to hook me up with some parts I needed (i.e. inner-barrel, hop-up rubber & bucking) at a good price. So now there is a Mad Bull Black Python 363mm tight-bore installed, with a CA hop up rubber and bucking.
The CA hopup rubber seems a little thicker than TM ones I’ve used in the past, but with a little lube (silicon oil, you perverted bastard), it slid on in without a problem.
I still have to make a decision as to where I’m going to put the battery. Eddie from CRW-Airsoft told me he has his (3-cell Firefox 11.1v 1200mAH LiPo) in the RIS system he used (not the same free-float RAS I’m using), but that the same bettery would fit in the stock buffer tube. I have this battery and with some slight modification to the lower-receiver it will fit. So here are my options:
Rear-wire to the buffer tube. Safe, hidden, adds some rear-weight (albeit not much, the LiPo is incredibly light).
Front-wire to the RAS. There is a possibility the battery could be struck by a BB through the holes inthe RAS. While you would need an incredibly hot gun to damage the battery to the point of catastrophic failure, I’d rather aire on the safe-side. But this is an option.
Front-wire to an AN/PEQ unit. If I can find one that has a buildt-in laser for cheap - then that’s an added feature I suppose. But it will add more weight to the front-end of the gun, and PEQ units aren’t to everyone’s tastes.
I’m open to suggestions, or other alternatives if you have any ideas. Register (don’t worry, you won’t be added to any mailing lists, it’s against the law here), and post in the comments.
So while I have the gun assembled, albeit incomplete, here are a few photos. I apologize in advance for the shitty camera work, I blame my iPhone. I’ll get better pics up when my Sony is charged.
Cosmetically; I’m still missing the front-sight. I opted not to take the one off the S-System to leave the gun intact.
Internally; I need to decide on a wiring scheme (front/back), I’d like to install a Trigger Master to control the LiPo (update coming soon on this review as well), and I need a motor (again, I’m not using the S-System’s).
So, I’ll have another update shortly, as soon as I get a front-sight and motor in.
New from Mad Bull Airsoft is the GSG-01 gas-powered grenade.
We know that it can take CO2, and therefore (very likely) propane. We know it’s made out of metal (aluminum). We know it’s bottom-loaded. We know it has a programmable timer. We know its re-usable. We know its bloody loud. We know it looks very promising. We know we want one.
We also know you want to see it in action. We won’t keep you any longer.
Arnie’s Arisoft, and Airsoft News.eu announced the new Noveske Metal upper receiver from Mad Bull is available within the week.
Mad Bull says the price is under $100USD. Although we all know that will be about $150-$200 by the time is gets up here. Sorry lads, you know the drill.
One of the most realistic blowback machine pistols we carry, the TMP offers a satisfying blowback experience. Able to use Top Gas reliably right out of the box to expel BB’s at 0.9J! An optional bridge allows the installation of a scope. Metal parts include barrel, muzzle, magazine, bolt lock, bolt cover, magazine release, and front sight. The TMP offers a front tactical grip. The TMP is one of our favorite gas blowbacks! Used extensively in the movie The World is not Enough. Hard kick system provides realistic blowback effect. While we have not done a review on this gun, we at RedWolf feel this is one of THE BEST full auto gas blowback SMGs available today in airsoft (on par in performance to the M11A1, but feels even more solid). Threaded barrel is protected by metal barrel protector. Note that a full metal silencer is sold separately.
This good looking handguard is licensed by Noveske and is construted with 6065 aluminum. With hard anodized process, it is more durable and looks better than other toy handguards with black color spray paint.
