Star L86A2

Feb 3, 2006 6:21pm
I have read what was said about the Star L85A2. Yet I was wondering if there was any opinion on the L86A2. Like the looks of it, different looking support weapon. Also was wondering if anyone has heard when they are going to be available.

Ya I actually walked into the store and held that one. It's very interesting. But it is the L85 which is the assault rifle. I am looking for any information on the L86A2 which is the category as the M249. Again you either like its looks or don't. no middle ground for sure.

well yeah i know, ive looked at the airsoft one too, and while it looks just perfect when compared to the real thing, i dunno i just dont see the justification of paying that much for an airsoft rifle. the case is a nice build thouh...

Thank you for the heads up. Now I need to get the 690+ to order it! Ya I heard the the real steel ones aren't all that great. Infact when I was in the infantry I had the M249 as the support gunner. Just like the idea of carrying something different into the airsoft games.

True, however HK purchased enfeild and has fixed the problem with the original rifle, the A3 version currently being used in Iraq is a nice weapon.
