Re: WE L85a2 review.

Out of the G39, M16A1 and L85 made by WE, the L85 has the best sound, then the m16, then the G39

Re: WE L85a2 review.

I have all 3 sitting in front of me, straight from the horses mouth hehe, sound is defo an important thing but to be honest, they all sound great when fired, its a really head turner in a skirmish

Re: WE L85a2 review.

Very tempted by the new open bolt M4's again. I had an original brass tubes one that was fun but too demanding and more temperamental than Jordan on her period!!

Quick test fire video using 2 mags.
The dry fire tab pops up during firing of the first mag and locks back the bolt.
Recorded on the front facing camera of my Iphone so picture quality isnt best and the sound doesnt do this thing justice.

One thing to note after that and the other five mags i fired.
The allen keys securing the top rail, the rear half of the ACOG, screws securing the ACOG to the mount and the two allen keys just behind the handguard either side of the gun ALL have rattled loose!!
As such ive spent nearly 1hr removing and threadlocking (none present as standard guys) just about every screw and allen key i could find.
Once again lucky this was found indoors (ACOG flopping around) so nothing has gotten lost.

Re: WE L85a2 review.

thanks for the quickk reply what does anyone think on the price of a second hand one and is it worth going down this road or is it best to buy new?

[tisane]

Id probably say buy 2nd hand to be fair, as you may have seen these have a couple of small faults that manifest after no time at all, not hard to rectify but if its 2nd hand they might already have been sorted.
Also buying 2nd hand all related customs charges have already been paid (havent seen it on any UK retailer yet) so overall you get it a lot cheaper than buying new.
There have been a couple up on here, one still is i think.
