Ramirez stop asking stupid questions ramirez!

its back heavy to a point where its comfortable to hold for long periods put it that way...

In standard form it nearly balances itself out with a battery in.

Re: how back heavy is an l85

shut up foley!

and ah so the carbine is pretty horrible to lug about then?

[tisane]

Personaly i dont realy see the benefit of the carbine over the standard length, there is only a couple of inches between them and a lot less battery space.
If your after small L85 have a look for the AFV version.
Whatever length they are heavy fu**ers to lug around all day compared to other weapons.

day ruining weight? or just annoying?

Re: how back heavy is an l85

The standard l85 is perfectly balanced when the battery is in

there no real arm ache it's basically the same as carrying a full metal m4 with long ris and accessories with mag and battery plus aimpoints magnifiers etc

the carbine is the same just with shorter grip reducing battery space and limits battery selection

Re: how back heavy is an l85

ive got loads of nunchucks im thinking they'll fit in the carbine right?

Re: how back heavy is an l85

Depends mate , a large type only just fits in the standard hand guard

[tisane]

Nunchucks may still be a push, its an L86 handguard basicaly meaning mini or Lipo.

Keep fit heavy.
Unless your built like a brick poo house up top you will feel it the next day.

The weight is about 5kg with a susat on and battery for a L85A2, but the balance means that your shoulder takes alot of the weight. It is heavier than an M4 but its not that noticeable when you use it.

Re: how back heavy is an l85

the weight wasnt so bad, but the balancing. 2 I have held have both been really horrible!

Re: how back heavy is an l85

its ok im pretty good with my upper body strength i used to train with Arnold Schwarzenegger :D haha also my m203 and sentry weigh allot along with my m249

Re: how back heavy is an l85

Yeah, but all the weight is at the back, and it has a tiny flimsy handle to hold it all with if its not against your shoulder. Even if it was the best performing rifle in airsoft, I wouldnt dream of getting it. Thats how offputting the weight distribution was for me!
