Ugh.. Their new MP5 looks uber cheezy.

**WarHamster** · July 24th, 12:34 AM

The Armotech that made the SIM-4's is now Ariakon. The other Armotech that made the WG-65 kept the armotech name.

And alpha you don't like ANY of the Armotech or Ariakon guns, so, no offense, but I didn't expect you'd like the SIM-5 (MP5 marker).

can't comment on how they are, but I hate the cosmetics. I just think its dumb having this 1:1 scale M16 or M4 replica, then you have a hopper or tank on it. IF you want milsim you gotta go milsim. Not milsim with hoppers and giant CO2 or compressed air tanks. But thats just me.

Actually if you want Mil-Sim, look for a company call Scecpter combat systems.

THey are comming out with some nice new markers in the furture.

Like a shotgun styled marker wtih the balls in where the shells would go (under the barrel)

Plus an Uzi, a windrunning sniper rifle (which should change snipeing, into what it shoudl be ranges better then 150+ at 10inche spread).

They have several items set for release over the next 6-10 months. The 1st will be the under barrel grenade launcher.

i'm not interested in an uzi or a sniper rifle. I wasnt to see an AR and a nice handgu. Rap4 has some nice ones, but I want .68 caliber. And the only way to have a reasonable amount of paint in it is with a hopper.

**WarHamster** · July 26th, 12:27 PM

Alpha if the company that made the Rap4 found a way around having to load the balls into small cartidges & used 68 caliber paint I would totally buy one. Untill that day though, I just can't justify buying a marker with such limited versatility...

Don't get me wrong it's an awesome concept, just some problems to fix with it first.

Well, I know that somewhere in the Armotech forum, someone made a mod for their Zeus G2 gun that allowed 20 balls with out the hopper.

I know 1 way if you want to go that route, though it will look kinda cheezy.

You can get the quick cap for the Zeus, ( though this may work with out the quick cap). The quck cap allows you to use the 10 ball tubes to reload. If you would place a litle bit of tape on the ball tube, then you could just shove the tube in and it will give you 20 shots.

Then when the balls against the spring were done, it should allow you to feed off the balls in the tube. Only problem though, you wouldnt have the "diverter" (the plactic piece that is angled), so I dont know how much that would affect reloads.

**Tex** · July 30th, 07:24 PM

You could always use 12 gram co2 cannisters and 30 round spring fed stock style magazines.

**NXD 5150** · July 31st, 02:58 PM

Elrodvoss I don't know what your talking about! I have a Zeus G2 and all you have to do is take the 10rd tube and stick it in the end of the mag, thats it. The same goes for all models of the Zeus and Core ZX.

That is what I said in the last 1/2 of my posting. Just take the Tube and stick it in where the quick cap would go. I just didnt know if it would work right without the diviter part.

Alpha · August 9th, 12:22 PM

I dont want a Zeus. I want a Mk23 Mod 0 .I want an M92FS.

**rivit** · October 16th, 09:46 PM

No, they didn't change their name. The US distributor of Armotechs, Ariakon, for some reason lost their job as distributor and they made their own line of guns that are very similiar to Armotech. So, there are now Ariakon and Armotech, two different companies, both making milsim products.

**jtgenterprises** · November 26th, 07:32 PM

That's right, i wish more people would understand that. Here is both companies home pages:

www.armotech.net and www.ariakon.com
