G&P Standalone Grenade Launcher...

[tomson2912882]

Is this priced right? I keep staring at it trying to see if there's more to it ?

- that's more expensive than some higher end AEGs and it doesn't come with any grenades!

Really random post but am I missing the bigger picture here?

£435........

Re: G&P Standalone Grenade Launcher...

Individual components/parts/accessories do tend to be more expensive, compared to ready-made package deals.

Here's an example I just thought of:

Let's take a standard G&P M16A3, and say it has a price of £250
And a G&P M203, and say the price is £150
That's £400 so far.

Now say you buy those assembled together in the same box/bundle, it would go in retail stores for a lot less, let's say £340.

In short, it seems to work out cheaper to buy a packaged/bundled AEG/moscart launcher combo together, than it does for the individual parts etc. that make up the whole bundle.

If you can get your hands on one, it would probably be cheaper to get an Iron Airsoft H&K M320, if those appeal to you, plus they can be used as a standalone option

It would appear that the price is right! other retailers have got it up for roughly the same

I too am struggling to understand whereabouts the value for money is with this one

that said, it does look cool

You can buy a G&P GW1 M16A1 with a G&P 203 fitted from another shop for £320 all in!

This GL is priced at noob impulse buyers: looks cool- shutupandtakemymoney.... Shame on you Zero One. Shame. On. You.

I could just about see £250 as a justifiable price point...

£430 for something that essentially just pushes the end of a 40mm shell....

hell, for £430 I will walk around the battlefield with you, running up to players you want to hit and discharging one by hand

Why bother with the grenades then??? Surely you'd be more cost effective to just lob handfuls of BBs at the designated targets :p

Agreed! The end of the day, Airsoft pricing has no doubt rocketed in the last couple of years but this is too expensive for a pin pusher. - it won't have cost near triple figures to construct this in the factory!

I take it none of you have actually held this particular item?

Because it's a beautiful bit of kit built like a brick outhouse. It's expensive sure, but proportional to its quality.

Platinum back-scratcher? For you sir, £700- but only cos I like your face...

Re: G&P Standalone Grenade Launcher...

Is it just me... or...

discharging one by hand

That sort of thing shouldn't be allowed on an airsoft site... Definitely not when there are under 18's around!

Seriously though, its just another ridiculous launcher that are for the other half of the ******* ***** (that I wish I was part of)

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it feels great, looks good and is built well... But I highly doubt it feels £434's worth sadly

I have the Ares AG36 that's built to similar standards and weights more than Thor's Hammer but even the price tag of £170 was still too high! IMO.

Re: G&P Standalone Grenade Launcher...

All airsoft grenade launchers are glorified tubes with glorified buttons. Utter waste of money!
BUT! Like all airsoft, they look cool as hell, and when used appropriately - they are bloody awesome!

I wont bring up the high end vs low end debate again - but bloody hell, if you can afford it who has the right to tell you otherwise!

It seems perfectly reasonable to me. Nice things cost nice money. I think its perhaps a little inappropriate to determine what is too expensive generally, rather than simply too expensive to the individual.

Bang on.
