okay.....hopefully this will help... The R85A (as shown above in the video)is black which is metal and the darker green parts are metal plated plastic.....it is a very reliable gun and very good for skirmishes but the only thing you want to watch out for is the dodgey mode selection....and no it doesnt matter whether the gun is realistic or two tone for the skirmishes, its completly up to what you prefer, but if you were going to carry them exposed to the public then it would have to be two tone
hey richie, do you have any idea on where i can get the l85 high caps? cuz they're 450rnd as aposed to teh 300rnd normal m4 ones? and i want the 450 rnds in my m4 :D
does it matter if your airsoft is the same as they real life version? or will it have to be two tone when you do skirmishes? please help, 'cos this will really aid me in my decision on this gun,
get a NiMH intellect battery and an adapter to connect it. don't use the blowback until you replace the stock piston(lock the bolt back, stress will cause the piston teeth to strip if you don't) and use the MAG brand mid-cap magazines and it's a great gun.
hey, great vid, i'm looking for a 2 tone version of this, (i know there will be a lot of dissaproving faces but oh well i aint got ukara) could anyone tell me where to get a CHEAP R85A1 (two tone) as the only one i can find is £160 odd on airsoft world Thanks!!!! great vid taught me a lot and has influenced my decision to get one, thanks!!
@TheTobproductions it will have to be two tone if you are not part of a club and on the UKARA register. Im getting a two tone. i know people will probably look at m funny for a bright green gun but fuck em lol
not the bolt is hooked to the piston when it comes back to its origanl position it basically carrys its the blowback does not put strain on the gun internaly or externaly
oh rite it was a bit confusing when you said the same name twice, i forgot you had to keep pulling the cocking leaver back on it. I only got to fired it once and that was like 6 years ago lol
Yeah im a cadet and we are getting the L98-A2 in in a few weeks. They are basically an L85-A2 but with only semi-auto and with no full-auto. They wil be pretty lush for us cadets sice what we have been used to is a stupid single shot, bolt-action version. ATM we are about to do the rifle test for the L98 A2 and we are training with L85-A2s since we havent actually got the L98-A2 yet but like i said we're getting then in a few weeks. But yeah the L98-A1 is the bolt-action one.
the l85a1 was quite bad in any situation except woodland and in desert environments it frequently jammed and basically sucked cock, the l85a2 on the other hand is FUCKING AWESOME and is the most accurate assault rifle in the world. unfortunetly it has some reliability issues in desert environments but you cadets get the old l85a1s for now but when the l85a3 comes out (supposedly 2015) you will get the old l85a2s. scrap the history lesson ime saying that the 1st l85 sucked!
ok to disprove a myth blowback doesnt decrease rof (HOWEVER WARNING USING BLOWBACK WILL CAUSE STRESS ON YOUR PISTON AND I GUARANTEE YOULL NEED TO REPLACE IT LIKE I DID) sooo basically dont hose with it onand c4770tc sorry to say but on the newer models they took of the piece enable blowback once again sorry bud its just that it caused an either stripeed or broken or combination of the both piston any questions just ask here
hey ill answer a couple questions since ive gotten in my gun adn modded certain stuff. anyways to disable blowback pull bolt all the way back and flick the switch down then walla no blowback just switch up to enable again.
2. the battery it came with is a piece o crap may actually cause some problems with the gun (nothing a new battery wont fix)id give it a yr but i reccomend gettin a 9.6 i got a firefox 9.6 2000mah to fit crane version
yeah ive bin on tyht website a whiel ago but cnt customers conviscate it because it doesent hav the british licence if u get me its a good website fanastic deals its around £60 4 thwe R85 on it right
