Hard Cases

[DarkAngel]

Someone once told me of a brand for Hard pistol cases and rifle cases that look similar to the STAR cases. I beleive it was at the WP Primary May 24 game. Can anyone remember, or help me find one?

Just don't leave them in the middle of the floor when we're trying to sweep up...

[roughshadow]

a few questions

Are they lockable?
Can they be used to hold anything?(the square ones with foam)

[DarkAngel]

What about the Rifle Case Version? Any of them look like a similar style?

Heh, will have to go bug LUTNIT bout this, but the warrenty on the Pelicans is that they will hold up to anything except shark attacks and children under the age of 5!

[LUTNIT]

you forgot about bear attacks!

I have a Pelican laptop case, thing has been smashed around and only has some very minor scratches on it, have had it for a year now. Warranty says if it breaks, they will replace it, forever, but in fine print it says the warranty is void in the case of shark bites, bear attacks, and children under 5. Don't ask me...

The Pelican cases don't look like the STAR cases, it fact the STAR cases look like Pelican cases. The pelican line of cases is what STAR based their design off of, they aren't nearly the same quality of course but still fairly decent. I think my laptop case is guaranteed against a 20 foot drop onto concrete without damaging anything inside, floats with up to 17lbs of stuff inside, waterproof to 30 feet or something, pressure equalizing membrane so if you change altitude the fact that the case is sealed doesn't mean it will suction close or blow open. Its made of fiber reinforced structural foam injected molded plastic so it can easily stand up to being run over by a hummer or other large vehicles and remain rigid. Pelican simply makes damn fine cases, looking into getting a 1720 case for my AEG's (the 1750 wont fit into many car trunks, need a truck.)

And if you need a Pelican case with a custom interior, there is a Canadian company that can do it and do often work making custom inserts for firearms so talking about guns with them is no big deal. http://www.customcaseco.com/

yea but the catalog only shows 1 rifle case, and it doesnt look as good as the STAR rifle case. But im definately gonna get the pelican one for my pistol.
You wouldnt by any chance Be willing to sell your STAR Rifle case Brian would you? I love the way it looks.

Theres the entire Pelican line. There are 4 cases specifically for rifles in different sizes to accommodate differently sized weapons and depending on what you have you can use smaller cases. The P90 for example uses a smaller case and you can get P90 specific foam inserts ordered from Pelican in the states: http://www.casesbypelican.com/military/p90.htm G36c also has a case like the P90 since when the stock is folded its so short.

Ask anyone that has seen both, the STAR case is garbage in comparison. I had a STAR M249 that came with the hard case and it was nice but the quality control, wall thickness, and general feel of the case is terrible compared to a Pelican case. If the STAR cases where truly better they would be a lot more expensive and the military/PMC's would be using them instead of Pelican cases.

Get a "Storm Case" they are expensive but just a little short of Bomb proof!

No shit! Le Baron has the Pelican Rifle Case, price....................


$325CDN! Super cases though, you can custom fit the foam to your rifle (come to think of it, one guy here in Ottawa, Pronto Bombo, actually shelled out the coin for a Pelican case and has the foam cut out nice for his M4 and other accessories. I was mildly jealous when I first noticed it was a Pelican case!) A hardshell case for the same price as a used AEG.............. wow!

honestly tho XD what am i gonna do with a bombproof case?

I just dont like how it looks... too thin, like a music instrument case.
Pelican 1780 Case
Now THAT is a sexy case, holds 10 M4s

Pelican 1720 Gun Case

problem is pelican doesnt make larger pistol cases.
they all JUST barely fit my pistol, i wanna be able to put a QD6 Laser/Taclite unit in as well as 3 of my mags etc etc

[DarkAngel]

They dont have the Star style ones. I like those because they have a cool bulk look to the case, like in SG:Atlantis etc. I have the BPShop one atm, and it looks fugly XD
