FUGLY doesn't even come close.

I suspect that the creators of the RS are trying to make the 5.7mm round a more recognized round like the 5.56 or the 7.62mm rounds....

EDIT: I see no point in this other than compatibility with other guns, but this doesn't even make sense because 5.7mm rounds aren't common (I think, I am probably wrong).
EDIT2: I also concur that this gun is fugly.

Regardless, I think we'll see some pop up in the AR media thread soon.

The AR57 is the poster child of "just because you can doesn't mean you should."

I've got a schematic for a PPSH modification that would challenge that.:rolleyes:

I love it, really, although it might make AR15 fans vomit!

EDIT: It could make some other gun fans vomit!

I am the farthest thing from an AR fan, and this makes me vomit.

:D

I concur. I don't know why any airsofter would intentionally choose to use P90 mags in their armalites. Though with airsoft at least you have the option of runnig with both mags inserted, which I find hilarious.

the round was almost adopted by NATO. The german delegation objected the adoption (note, the 4.6 by H&K was direct competition) and the project was put on the side.

side by side, as a PDW round, it was deemed superior in almost every aspect.

The round has it's perks and advantages, so I can see why somebody would want to slap that in an AR. same with KAC's SR47.

edit: of course in airsoft it doesn't change squat, but some people seem this dislike the "idea" more than the gun itself.

no, the gun has no visual appeal to me at all... it's a hackjob of a gun. As an artist and designer, this is a visual bastardization of 2 very iconic things. It makes me wtf every time I look at it... right before I vomit.

Inserted but not used.

The hopup will probably be a P90 one as well. Therefore you wouldn't be able to load from the bottom.


Same as the RS version.

I want an upper.. just so I can throw a P90 M4/coverter box mag on it .. so I can have an M4 coverted to p90 converted back to M4 ... and make all purists big and small throw up a little in their mouth ;)

I would be interested in trying the real steel, might be a good design to catch the brass? Maybe using the same design but belt fed from a remote ammo box.

Anyway, here's a comparison:

Reckless....you are too late. A lot of people already threw up and more than once too.
