The Armory of the Red Beret

Post by Arbee » Sun Oct 25, 2009 10:06 pm

Hey, ladies and gents, just wanted to show off my girl... A UK Arms AK-47S.  She shoots approximately 340 FPS, and is rather accurate, for a stock gun that hasn't been used in over a year.

I recently acquired, thanks to my good friend Wunder, a couple of "politically incorrect" midcaps, a "politically incorrect" hi-cap, and the snub-nose barrel from an AK Beta, which I'll be using for games that are more up-close and personal.

I'll be "officially" fielding her for the first time at Deep Scar, and I believe that we may have a long working relationship, as she fits all of my needs for the moment.  Definitely hoping that I'm not going to mess her up like I did my second M4.  Bent the barrel on that one...

Anyway, here are some pictures:

The AK-47 plus the short barrel and, from left to right, mid-cap, mid-cap, hi-cap, hi-cap.  Yes, that is a racking triangle holding the AK-47 up for all to see:

The AK-47 with the stock fully extended:

I also have a Wal-Mart spring pistol, but that's really not worth taking pictures of and posting on the Internet.  It... sucks.  As both a weapon and a back-up weapon.  Effective range is approximately ten feet, and that's if you don't have the wind blowing.

Might be adding an MP5 soon...

The stock wobbles just enough to give me some degree of freedom when I need to shift down for closer targets or up for distant targets.

That looks really good! (And I like the post-its too  :D )

Would you consider UK-Arms a good company?

The UK Arms is a re-branded JG.

Very nice, Adam! I've used the exact same AK, and it's pretty impressive :)

Thanks, guys!

I don't know about the company, but I can tell you that this is one nice little piece of equipment.  I was told when I bought it that it was an Echo-1.  Haha, even if it isn't, Echo-1 is still re-branded JG, so no harm done!  I just can't wait to get a chance to use 'er.

What I really need to do now is find a battery cover that will fit the Beta barrel, since the battery cover I've got is too wide for it.  If anybody knows where I can find it without having to do an exhaustive search, the info would be very much appreciated!

Nice AK, all you need is a fore-grip, an EOTech, and a M203. ;)

Haha, don't worry, Henry... I'm going to be stickin' one of them purdy triple-barrel shotguns under my AK.  That'll serve as the fore-grip and do more than enough damage to compensate for the loss of the M203. ;)

Here be an Echo-1 M4 I found in my closet.  Fully functional, except that the selective fire on it isn't quite what you'd expect--it only fires when it wants to (for some reason, if the fuse box isn't in a precise position, it won't fire... gonna have to look at that).

But, it functions 75% of the time, so... can't complain. :D
