Ultimate Bullpup Airsoft gun ??

Hello, Im looking to replace my G36c with something a Bullpup gun, so what would you recomend me to get ? Which ones to stay away from? common problems?....etc

1. Ares Tavor: Sexy looking, feels nice.

2. RS Type97: real steel heritage, RS awesomess.

3. CA Steyr AUG

4. CA P90

5 ICS L85


Thanks.

PD: If you have any of these for trade or for sale pm me.

all of them have a real steel heritage.
the 97 has an od as hell mag release
and the aug along with p90 have their own mag system. and pouches are odd. the p90 being long and the aug being odd shaped.

I'd personally go with the tavor or l85. especially if you play with a group of people who mainly run AR platforms, mag cross compatibility.

I've used both a CA AUG and a TAR 21

The AUG was the more comfortable of the two, and the lack of selector switch is really handy for those "oh shit" moments, just squeeze the trigger hard and you're good to go.
The downside is the magazines are kind of chunky, and the little lip on them that catches the magwell of the gun likes to get caught on some mag pouches.

The Tavor shot really well, however the ironsights on it are absolute shit, and the mag release is pretty much in the worst spot it could be. the way you hold the gun, the forarm on your trigger hand arm CONSTANTLY hits it, causing your mag to fall out. It was ungameably bad for me. Both games i brought it to, I traded guns with someone for the day, the response was always the same.

"Oh sweet, hell yeah we can trade" ....5 hours later "fuck this thing, I hate it".

Hrm well I have a Tm p90 and its pretty comfortable, i like how the top rail is a bit raised so even with a full mask on i can still use the sights

i am getting an L85 shortly and honestly what ritz said is true, the L85 is great because so many people out there run AR platforms so you can mag swap with your teammates easily enough if one of them is low

Don't forget about the F2000

I suggest either the F2000, Tavor, or Aug as all are very easy guns to use and get use to over time, atleast IMO.

I don't suggest P90's unless your a big fan of it. Same goes with the Type 97's and L85's.

eh ive tried the fn 2000 and considering i love the p90 its really odd that i hate the fn2000

i find it kinda unwieldly, and think it looks like the bastard child of a mon calamari star cruiser, just without shields and fighter bays

1. Ares Tavor: Mag catch sucks, see Spike's post

2. RS Type97: Awesome, buy custom batteries. It is a bit back heavy (97b)

3. CA Steyr AUG Good gun, Lack of rails.

4. CA P90 Good gun, mags are very large

5 ICS L85, no exp on this one.


Given the choice I would either go with a AUG or a 97b/97

That Tavor...I had it ! Loved it..I still love it but I traded it for a gbbr but anyway.

Point is that it is a FANTASTIC rifle, accurate with a good effective range and good looking.
The only thing I would have done would have be to swap the mag release spring for a stiffer one so you won't lose your mags

You can remove the mag release lever on the ARES. Then to release the mag just stick your finger in and hit the smaller lever inside.

Speaking to them at shot they said the new versions will have a stiffer spring.

For me it will alway be the AUG. You can switch the barrel assemble in 15 seconds, I have 3 complete assemblies (14.5" CQB, 18" standard & a 24" HBAR) and if you can find one, there's also a 16" carbine. It's ballanced well and is easy to keep shouldered with one hand while climbing obstacles, through windows or opening doors. It points very naturally and has good range & accuracy. If you are rail happy there are plenty of rail kits for it but they do add weight to the front and mess up the ballance, but personally I don't need all that poo on the front of my gun anyways. If you get the railed receiver you can mount whatever optics you want on it. The AUG is by far the most versatile and comfortable & I've personally never had a problem with mags "snagging" in pouches.

Tavor. Only issue i had was. Mag release was in bad spot. Easily tripped. Very sensitive drop mags. In grass while running and you will never find em


Fix. Velcro in magwell. All good


Tavor. Buttstock. A bit too big wide wise. Was awlward



Sold the tavor.



Ics l85 early ver. Of the a2. Sucked. Inner barrel sucked. And was cheap

Now new ver is good.


Still need to swap out piston asap as the included pistoN is poop

still love my l85. Best gun.

I have been using a RS 97B for a year and am never going back to anything else. It is now my main inside and outdoor gun. The fact that it's spring can be switched in less then 3-4 minutes is just too awesome.

Two things to know :

1. if you are right handed you might dislike the mag release system. It requires some getting used to.

2. the custom battery available is a BITCH to install and is from low to average quality. I am switching to lipo just for that reason.

Only problem I had with the gun is that I had to change the hop-up rubber because the stock rubber was worn.

I think the l85's mag release is awful. You have you take you hands off the gun to release it and you can only hit it with your left hand.

That's if you're a right hand shooter, it's even worse if you're a lefty

The best Bulpups, for me, are either the P90 or the F2000
(I know, I'm a FNH fan !)

They are both extremely ambidextrous, have great accuracy and they are soooooooooo comfortable ! Also, the P90 is perfect for CQC !!
Yes, the P90's mags are kinda long, but you can still get UMP pouches, but please, don't use the damn m4 mag adaptor for P90, this thing looks so ugly !!!
