I'm more concerned with how wide the FN2000 is, looks like a whale in comparison to the P90. Not really to concerned with the ergo, but gonna have to try it out and see if I can get used to the bullpup style reloads (Rossmum, give tips you bullpup reloader you!).Quote:

I personally don't give a hoot about re-sighting because it's airsoft; precision is shit at any significant range unless sniping. I just rest the butt of the rifle on the bicep of my trigger arm while I remove the magazine, slap in a new one, rack it for the lulz, and presto. You are now reloaded and ready to fire.
I do like how the mag release is situated on the FN2000, just grab the mag and slide your hand towards the top of the gun and you fingers will hit the mag release. Then you just grip the mag and pull.
Fake E: It's a modified Ver 6 mechbox in the FN2000 right?
I tried getting a small game going last weekend, but I had a mishap with a screw holding my pistol grip onto my SCAR (shitty Chinese aluminum crap, the head of it actually came off). I was doing some final spray painting for the grip, and also my new mk23 sidearm. I got my friend to get me replacement screws, which he tells me fits well, all should be good for our next attempt at a game... I've had nothing but bad luck with my SCAR so far lol.
You mean your front vertical grip came loose? If your "pistol grip" (that houses the motor) came loose you'd have big problems lol. Not to mention it should be stuck to the motor pretty damn good, which should be anchored to the gearbox lol.
If it WAS your front vertical grip, that happens with almost all the really cheap clone grips, those are really only good for show. Magpul/Magpul PTS accessories ftw! If it was your pistol grip, wtf? I've never seen that happen lol.
My VFC SCAR-L CQC should be here today/tomorrow. Coming with 3 tan hi-caps, 1 mid-cap in gray, 2 pmag mid-caps in black and 2 pmag mid-caps in OD. I'm also getting a set of Magpul (probably PTS, didn't ask) MBUS's in tan on the gun and a black ACOG red dot because he couldn't find the actual SCAR iron sights. Will be trying to trade all the mags away for tan mid-caps since those are what I like most for my play style.
Some photos they guy took of it before sending it out:
I think it looks good without the stock SCAR sights on it, makes it look unique. Adding the ACOG will only add to that factor in my opinion, not to mention all the other accessories from my other SCAR. Gonna look into picking up a barrel extension (maybe go the QD suppressor route) and longer inner barrel (tight-bore obviously).
Lol, yes I meant the main grip that houses the motor. It was only attached by two screws on the inside reaching onto the bottom of the gearbox. One of those screws died. The grip was pretty sturdy with only two screws, but obviously only having one presents some issues. My friend said he found replacements, so it's alright. The thing is that the screw that broke, still has it's threads stuck in the hole on the gearbox. Not really a problem, since there are actually 4 screw holes, and only 2 of them were used originally. Hell, I could use all 3 remaining holes now. I also made sure that I didn't touch the motor plate adjustment at all when I dissembled it. The bottom line is that my pistol grip is no longer OD (it came OD stock for some reason?) and is now the same tan color as my vert grip and mags. :neckbeard:Plus the slide of my MK23 is also the same tan color. I wish I took some pictures, I always forget.
E: lol I typed pistol "gripe" on my previous post, fixed
Post some pics of the painted stuff, especially the MK23. Would love to see how that looks! :)
Came in the mail about an hour ago and I got all the accessories on it now:
Jaw dropper right there. Looking fly as hell with that ACOG. I won't get the pics till the next time I go home from university :(
I'm going to try and get something CNC'd that will replace the stock front sight that the SCAR comes with and extends the top rail. :)
EDIT: Destroyed the battery the guy shipped with it, 9.6v 1400 MaH. Got it IN the stock just fine, however I think I shoved it to far in because when I went to take it out there was literally no way to get at the cells themselves without pulling on the wires attached to them. Obviously the wires ripped out of the battery.
Oh well, I'll go buy some shrink wrap and turn this "nun-chuck" type battery into a 4x4 block type and build in a "pull cord" that attaches securely to the thing.
DOUBLE EDIT - God this thing is gorgeous! Had to make myself a wallpaper:
2560x1707 for you 2560x1600 supremacists.
Kind of off topic, but I just finished watching Inception, and it was the first Hollywood blockbuster I've seen that featured the FN SCAR.
