New Airsoft Brand: Ace of Spades Released!

The plastic for an M249 would have to be REALLY good material, no way to cheap out on that.

M249 AEGs weigh in about 9kg FYI without any extra fancy accessories tacked on.

Even the big guys who wield these know it gets tiring to carry it around all day, plastic body don't really know how that's going to work.

yeah, it would be a lot of weight to be supported by that plastic. Although the STAR M249 has a plastic body i believe?

This man understands the Free-Market (Great Chain?).

Get Age verified, then you can get anything you want.

Yeah thanks for the input, I have an appointment for the age verification in 5 days. The thing is that I have no ideas about the kind of price I should expect so for now I will only count on Canadian retailers. Could someone give me an exemple of the kind of price I would pay for a TM Desert Eagle or a Star L85A2 (dunno if I'm allowed to ask that...if not sorry)

TM DE will probably run you ~$300. A STAR L85 will run you about $1,000. If you can find someone to bring in an ARES for you instead (same gun, ARES made them for STAR) you can probably knock a few hundred off that.

Cool thank you very much kalnaren. Now I'm even more looking forward to my age verification

Jayne Finch · August 4th, 2009, 21:58

forgive me if i misunderstood but the first post said "FULL METAL" and "Canadian legal" isn't that oxy-moronic? or did they come up with some clear metal that i am unaware of?

There are two parts to Shinobii's post.

The first part is just him copy/paste an announcement from AoS, which mentions full metal in context of AoS' worldwide release, not specific to Canada.

The second part in bold is Shinobii stating that Canadian-legal versions will be available.
