Classic Army P90 Sportline Quality Report Pt. 1

This is the first part of the Q-Report on the Classic Army P90 Sport Line Tri Rail with upgraded metal receiver.

Spartan Imports sent us the upgraded receiver to give us a taste of what might be seen in the Proline version of the CA P90.

Overall I liked what I saw, and the metal receiver certainly makes a nice upgrade. Although, the metal receiver produces no performance boost, it does seem to provide a more sturdy platform upon which to mount optics and other add ons.

The fit and finish was average with a noticeable seem running through the middle of the gun. The seem caused discomfort and chaffing so I dulled the edges with a razor blade. After this minor alteration, the unit has been quite comfortable.

The magazine does suffer from jams however, and that is the weakest point in the design in my opinion. The issue did seem to improve marginally with use, so it does seem possible that a "break in period" may exist.

Still, a decent mid-cap mag will probably solve the problem completely.

Many thanks to Spartan Imports for sending us this test model.

Classic Army P90 Sportline Quality Report Pt. 2

This is the second part of the Q-Report on the CA P90 Sportline TL.

Overall, as a compact SMG replica, I liked the P90. My biggest complaints to date have been in the magazine which tends to jam from time to time.

The fit and finish was average, but then again it is the "Sportline" version of the gun.

This little AEG provided surprisingly good accuracy out to 135' feet using .28 gram bbs.

Classic Army AR-10 Quality Report

• Product Summary: Classic Army AR-10
• Cost: $369.99 MSRP
• Source: Spartan Imports
• Gun Type: AEG
• Average FPS: 400+ (.2g, .23g)
• Max Effective Range: 175 ft
• Pros: Excellent Range, good accuracy, great fit and finish with lots of metal parts, large battery compartment, fun and functional bolt release lever, beefy sights, lots of rails, average ROF.
• Cons: Overly sensitive mag release button, some minor finish blemishes on plastic hardware, battery access somewhat limited, average ROF, heavy (might not be a con), multiple sizes of allen screw used in construction.
• Editor's opinion: These days, if you've come in contact with the airsoft world even a little bit, you've probably seen the AR/M16/M4 variant done to death. Sure, its America's weapon of choice for good reason, but lots of airsofters want to make a statement. Some like to go all out and we see them on the field shirtless and sporting a mohawk as if daring the other team to install hundreds of extra nipples all over their bodies. For those of us who are happy with our stock nipple count, there is the AR-10. Sure it was originally designed by Eugene Stoner (Father of the M16), but its NOT an M16. Its the much lesser known, but possibly superior AR-10 with a facelift for the 21st Century. It looks like an M16 thats been hitting the gym, but its got some unique sight lines if you look closely enough. Its a sleeper and it will leave a lot of competition in its dust. If not for a few relatively minor quirks this gun would have aced the tests. That said, it has performed very well in actual skirmishing and will undoubtedly form a benchmark for future tests.
• Final Grade: A-

Please feel free to leave your thoughts and comments on this airsoft gun!

RAP4 Bazooka Grenade Launcher Video Review

RAP4 Bazooka Review Pt. 1

• Product Summary: RAP4 Bazooka Grenade Launcher
  
• Cost: $399.99
  
• Source: Real Action Paintball
  
• Gun Type: CO2
  
• Average FPS: 150 (Nerf Darts, Paint Grenades, Potatoes)
  
• Max Effective Range: 200 +ft
  
• Pros: Can fire nearly anything that will fit in the barrel, good range, acceptable gas efficiency, good intimidation factor, very good fit and finish, fun.
  
• Cons: Test model seemed to have a defective tank capacity gauge, rudimentary sights.
  
• Editor's opinion: The RAP4 Bazooka Grenade Launcher is easily one of the coolest products we have tested to date. It feels solid, it is incredibly simple in its design and operation and it works very well. We were able to launch a reasonably diverse range of ammunition out of the barrel with relative accuracy and good range. The metal and wood construction made the unit feel very solid in the hands and the gas efficiency was not bad given the large volume of gas that was expelled during each firing. Having participated in many scenario games, I can say from personal experience that having one of these launchers can be very intimidating and effective against tanks, fortified positions and entrenched opposition. If you're in the market, I would strongly recommend taking a look at this offering.
