Amazing...
Now the trick is finding a holster for it that won't drop your $50 mags from Hong Kong.

This holster is specifically designed for Hi Powers. Only comes in arid and woodland CADPAT though.

Can't get the SR25 working, having issues where the trigger contact that's pushed by the trigger keeps popping out of place, resulting in a gun that doesn't fire.
But since it's AR based, I just removed the outer and inner barrel, suppressor, and gas block from the SR25 and tossed them onto my CA M15A4. The result is a nice SPR that's still shorter and lighter than my WE M14.
I have it setup for 2 modes for this Saturday's game. The first is just a generic all around rifle setup. Has a M4 length inner barrel inside of it and runs with the ACOG.

For those long range shots where accuracy is key, I have the PSG1 length Prometheus inner barrel, covered by the long suppressor. I added an adjustable magnification scope, allowing me to spot targets down the roads of Fort Ord.

That suppressor is ridiculous. I like it.
I wanna put it on a pistol.
[QUOTE=Stupideye;28062591]That suppressor is ridiculous. I like it.[/QUOTE]
It's made for 7.62, not 5.56. That's why it's so big.
[QUOTE=Dark Descent;28062636]I wanna put it on a pistol.[/QUOTE]
Won't happen unless you can attach that gas block to a very long extended barrel. It uses it's own QD mount, not threads.
Is that the M15A4 URX blowback or your old M15A4?
[QUOTE=RenegadeSanta;28069615]Is that the M15A4 URX blowback or your old M15A4?[/QUOTE]
It's the blowback version. My friend has my old M15A4 and managed to salvage it, making it a quite nice looking M4 with a 7" DD RAS on it.
A SR-25 is basically a long-ass M4 that fires a cooler bullet, right?
ya
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;28081038]A SR-25 is basically a long-ass M4 that fires a cooler bullet, right?[/QUOTE]
More like an M16. And, if by cooler, you mean "bigger" and "more powerful."
I say our 5.56 weapons need to switch over to 6.8 SPC.

it's an AR10 pretty much
and my CA AR10 sucked balls
My CA SR25 worked great, til I had to replace the wiring. Now that stupid trigger contact keeps slipping out of place.
My hopup... NEVER WORKED /c

That 6.8 is, while an interesting calibre, one far from suited for the role infantry play in a modern battlefield. Contrary to what the internet may tell you, 5.56 stops men. Out of the short barrel of a carbine, it may not be as effective beyond 300m, but that was more than enough range in Iraq. In Afghanistan, we're moving towards our heavier weapons, at the very least full length rifles, and also issuing more battle rifles and medium machine guns that have the reach to engage at 6-800 meters. We already have thousands of rifles chambered in 7.62 NATO, and adopting an oddball caliber developed by Colt for long range shooting (which is heavier, bigger and generally more of a pain in the ass to carry) is pointless when that's not how we fight. In the mountains of Afghanistan, where the "big" fighting you hear about is going on, we're using MMG's and M14's to fix enemy encampments at long range, then using carbines and long AR's to finish the job in close along with air support. The movement to this strategy has made the US far more effective there. In contrast, attempting to bring the entire US to support an oddball caliber with limited market backing, would simply cost more and slow down the men in the field that are finally just know beginning to practice doctrine that works- that of speed and aggression.
Just because I didn't go into detail, doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.
in astan
our troops fire even when they know the enemy is LONG out of range of their M4s

This is perfectly put.
[QUOTE=The Slick;28094830]Contrary to what the internet may tell you, 5.56 stops men.[/QUOTE]
Not really, no. Battlefield reports are rampant with complaints about it's power - something you pretty much don't hear about 7.62. What do you have to say about the stories from Vietnam with NVAs taking two and three hits of 5.56 to drop vs. one from 7.62?
If you say the powder has changed enough since then, I'm going to laugh so hard.
[QUOTE]Out of the short barrel of a carbine, it may not be as effective beyond 300m, but that was more than enough range in Iraq.[/QUOTE]
Wrong. The maximum effective range of an M4A1 is roughly [B]70[/B] meters, not 300. You realize I regularly engage people suppressively at this range in airsoft, which is close enough to make out some details of their gear? That's way too close a distance for a [I]firearm[/I] in the hands of a real soldier. In a real situation, I should've been able to comfortably place reasonably accurate center-of-mass hits well past that range.
Iraq door-to-door combat could've been done with a submachine gun almost as easily as a carbine, so that's kind of a moot point. In A-stan, where most of the heat is now, it happens to be very open in most areas where things go donw. Past 70 meters, an AR loses it's killing power, and I'm pretty sure most engagements of any type out there are closer than that.
[QUOTE]In Afghanistan, we're moving towards our heavier weapons, at the very least full length rifles, and also issuing more battle rifles and medium machine guns that have the reach to engage at 6-800 meters.[/QUOTE]
The problem with an MG is that it isn't as mobile, and if you're a squad caught out in the middle of nowhere, you're screwed if the insurgents can reach you while staying out of your own range. A full-length weapon like an M16A4 (a range of ~200 meters) is alright, but they also lack the maneuverability sometimes necessary. I know it isn't comparable in a lot of ways, but why do you think so few people in airsoft use an M16 as their primary weapon when in the role of a rifleman?

"Thousands" is hardly enough, when they're all DM weapons thinly spread through the ranks of the infantry.
Are you saying we fight on the principle of spam power? Son, spam doesn't guarantee kills. Accuracy does, and yet lots of light-weight and barely lethal varmint ammunition used at huge ranges only discourages this.
Also, by the way, Colt didn't develop the 6.8.

There's nothing wrong with this, but that's only one type of tactic in one situation.
It's also not encouraging that the air support has to wait ten minutes for approval before they can even fire.

So speed and aggression is impossible with 6.8?
What are you basing any of this on?
