I'm comfortable with the idea that I may be looking at Codemonkey with his TAR-21 aimed at me eventually, as it is a majestic weapon.
[QUOTE=Jenkem;27105587]You'd best be trollin', son. Edit this before Codemonkey sees it. His ARES TAR-21 is winsauce on awesomecake.[/QUOTE]
ARES are known to have problems. Externals are usually really nice, but it's iffy internally.
ARES are like Super Models to be honest. They're beautiful on the outside, but on the inside they're almost always a mess. They're really high maintenance.
But you get the rights to brag about your ARES externals, just like dating a Super Model.

I wasn't completely serious about that. Codemonkey got lucky/ARES finally did something right, though.

B. China sold you a clone of the ARES PPhS. Could I have pictures of the stickers on the box, box interior and such? Did it come with a little ARES tag on it somewhere?

Oh god.

With all the other bootlegging in the market flowing out of China, why so srprzed?

Received a fake glock on the same day. Do you think I'd be surprised?
It sounded more like the original company's attempt to fool customs, not truly "fake."
Though I'm beginning to wonder now. My willingness to order from Hong Kong just sank.

It's not the lack of the "lock" on the trademark that has me off. It's a lot of other things that scream "counterfeit."
[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;27105686]A. The PPhS is a relatively new product in ARES lineup. It may be a lemon, ARES has the tendency to produce items in a pattern of Excellent, Shit, Okay, Excellent again. I don't know the reason for this, originally I thought it was because of the ARES/STAR thing but I think ARES is run by a dickhead and have bad quality control and I don't fix anything until they get a flood of complaints. Hell if I know.

came with an ares tag and test shotted by a guy named 'woody' at about 350fps on march 2010 (I'm assuming this is the first batch of PPShs by ares; see the review I posted before, this 'woody' also tested the reviewer's gun); gun itself doesn't have any markings but the box is exactly like this one:

I'm going to bring the gun to AEX on monday to figure out what the internal problems are, since the gearbox cycles halfway and locks up, forcing me to recock the gun and ejecting bbs; when it shoots though, it's a fucking godsend; the blowback feels great and makes a metallic slapping sound
also swapped out the shitty hopup bucking for a systema one :smug:

I loled really hard for some reason
I'm trying to imagine some asian guy named Woody. I can't.

Wody
I'm from Hong Kong, and we choose weird-as-fuck English names.

So it wouldn't be strange to see someone from Hong Kong named Woody then?
I got that m203 now, can't really get the battery to fit...

HAH! mag clamps. I laugh in the face of mag clamps.

EDIT: Also, I can look at that sling and just taste all that money being wasted when it breaks. Get a better one.

What brand M4 is that?

Yeah I'm going to agree with this. Last thing you want is your sling to break and send your gun into the ground. Worse would be if you drop the gun and don't notice it.
oh god i have a gun like that.
i never trusted the sling, ever.

I'm not really all full on with the mag clamp. Also, go ahead and laugh, the sling is from a bag or something, in other words it's not a real gun sling... I rarely shoulder it, since im worried about the back stock giving out. I don't plan on using it over all.

Then take off the sling and mag clamp?
[QUOTE=FPKawaii;27131176]Then take off the sling and mag clamp?[/QUOTE]
Most likely.
[QUOTE=cornflakes;27131326]Most likely.[/QUOTE]
So do it.

I did...

Good boy.
Ever considered he has no other sling to use and show that it looks good? it's a pic for display... not for field use...
geez you all sound like this one asshole that goes to my field. But he can't ever get on the team due to his attitude.
Chill. They're joking around.

Chill bro, we're not serious here. That sling really is not field-worthy, and we're making sure he doesn't use it, but everything else was just our subforum's kind of humor.
