G&G RK47 vs. Real Sword Type 56

[blackout]

I dont know which one to get, I might get out of airsoft but if I don't I'm looking to buy one of these. The G&G has upgrade capability, but the Real Sword is way cooler looking imo. I like the blue steel on the Real Sword and the wood a lot more on the real sword than on the RK47. Also the Real Swords stock looks different to me, the RK47's stock seems a bit too long but thats for the large battery (probably just me here they look close). The RK47 with real wood and metal is 40 dollars less than the real sword, and doesn't take propitiatory mags, so its a tough choice. I hear the Real Sword internals are great and don't need upgrading, but have no knowledge about G&G.


RS



G&G

I dont like AKs at all, but if you are thinking of getting a RS get one. I am very impressed with them, they are solid guns that are made very well. The G&G is a great gun they build good ones too, but I would rather have a RS. What ever one you buy you will be happy with but I say RS.

With the g&g, it's said that the stock wiring on all their guns is crap and should be replaced, but otherwise they're somewhat solid as far as I know.

as for the RS, garrett is the only person I know of with one, so all I've heard and know is that they only take RS mags.

I would ask garrett about it and check the price of the RS mags before deciding, although because of the prices, i myself would probably get the g&g.

They are both awesome guns both internally and externally, either one would be a good buy. The RS will be a lot heavier than the G&G, much heavier.

Negative ghostrider. They're both heavyish metal and wood; the weight is very similar.

[Bushmaster]

Garrett's RS seemed heavier than the G&G that was in the back of the truck, maybe it was just me.

When Real Sword makes an AK, it's like they replace a real gun's internals with a gearbox and 6 mm barrel. gET THE rEALSWORD!

Just to let you know, this is one of the "wat am da best gunz" thread, which is HIGHLY discouraged.

That being said, go with Real Sword. There should be no question about it, and it should not be compared with G&G piece or shat.

[SteevoLS]

So much disinformation.

The G&G and Real Sword are both name-brand, high quality guns. Neither one needs any upgrading out of the box, and both are equally upgradeable if you do decide to follow that route. They both have solid metal bodies (RS being steel, G&G being magnesium). They both use real wood, and are rock solid externally.

The Real Sword magazines are very expensive, but most other magazines can be made to fit with minor modifications. STAR/ARES plastic mids fit fine without modifications (or used to, anyway).

The G&G has the advantage of using just about any standard AK magazine without modification. It also has a very solid, satisfying bolt mechanism that is very similar to a real AK bolt. The RealSword uses a more typical bolt system that lacks the same "clunk".

I would personally spring for the G&G over the RealSword, but either one will make a solid, reliable gun.

As for the Real Sword looking different: that's because it's not an AK47. It happens to be a Type 56, as evidenced by the fact that it is called a Real Sword Type 56! Type 56 = chinese knockoff of the AK47. While they are functionally similar, there are minor external differences.

That is only discouraged when it is idiotic. This is a legitimate question in which the OP gives specifics on what they are looking for and is taking the time to weigh his options. There is nothing at all wrong with this thread.

There is nothing at all wrong with this thread.

... except for the part where almost nobody has a clue what they're talking about.

[Vesper]

There is nothing at all wrong with this thread.

When did I say that?

[Dominum]

Well, I meant there is nothing wrong with this thread having been started. No problem with a well thought out question comparing guns. There is a huge difference between that and an OP that reads "Wut am best gun?".

Just go buy a M4 and be normal.

[Avenger]

M4s SUCK! The only reason I got one is because I found a good deal when I had limited cash.
