air-sharp's totally legitimate. I've ordered from them with no problems and find them very easy and friendly to work with. Its run by one of the members here on the forums, killbucket.

thanks i been thinking about doing ww2 along w/ vietnam because regular airsoft is getting boring i play the same people. my 1st prob is that the ww2 guys in jacksonville quit playing in march because 1 person got an aeg and that side always won. the 2nd is that i dont got clothes or guns and since i do ghetto SAW work and stuff like that, an m1919 of that stinger would be really nice for ww2 or reg. airsoft

All you really have to do is stop by your local thrift shop after some research on 30s + 40s period clothing and there you have it. Mike

if you dont have an impression, partisan or not, I wouldn't suggest starting off with a 1919. Very very very few (if any) were used by the resistance and although killbuckets 1919's are a great product for a very fair price, they aren't cheap. The money might be put to better use on a low end aeg like the new cyma thompson and you can use the other $350-400 for getting a good impression together. Also, his stingers are a very cool product, but keep in mind it wouldnt be correct at all for ww2 unless you have a very specific marine impression. If you dont know the stinger was a nearly one of a kind gun and in my opinion would just seem too awkward (both historically and physically) for anything other than a late war marine impression. Sorry to put a possible downer for you and killbucket, but thats just my opinion.

Killbucket couldn't agree more. I love my guns, and I do believe in and stand behind my product. Although I have no stated warranty policy, I have never refused a request from a customer for product service or support. My product is in its infancy; customer feedback is critical, even if it's negative in nature. We have recently implemented a design change that completely replaces the base gun electrical sytem with a true 12volt/40-amp capable layout. All switches, levers, and all stock wiring and connectors are discarded and brand-new 16-gauge cabling is installed throughout. Every connection is a quick-disconnect, in keeping with our philosophy of "NO TOOLS REQUIRED". Every existing customer who had a previous revision gun recieved the updated assemblies at no cost. From a practical standpoint, the Stinger is a 54" long monster, better suited to ending bragging sessions than combat, similar to the M249. I have no other plans for mine than dominating my backyard, and squirrel removal at the in-laws' house.
Unless you already have the four or five guns that you could buy instead of an M249 or one of my hand-built creations, I agree, hit Kapowwe.com or an Echo1 dealer and grab something less dear to start with.

glad you agree killbucket. "squirrel duty" is one of the main responcibilities my 1919 will have when it comes in. I'm helping re-do our deck and am in the process of building a simple removeable mount that attatches to one of the support poles. sorry to all those animal rights people but I have rights to keep my lawn green and trees growing.

I think as far as impressions goes id want to do allied because its alot easier to find in the us except for mp40s now and Kar98ks, plus i like allied weapons (bar,m1a1,garand,greaser,1911,m1919,stinger that i didnt know existed until 3weeks ago, and the m2)over axis weapons except for mp40 and mg42. as far as playing ww2 i still have to find people around here. i live in jacksonville, NC. but off topic even though this is going to make sound stubborn like i dont listen, i love mgs. as far as the stinger goes if it is like a ca 249mk 1 its going to easy. m249s are light i would love to find something like a m60 just dont got 1500 sittin in my wallet. i would want to know if killerbucket would do other guns especially as cheap as m1919

for any more info you need on the stinger and 1919a4 just look at the "30 cal" threads and the "stinger project" thread along with killbucket's airsharp site. The resistance used a lot of stens, lugers and p38's, mp40's, and kar98's along with lots of other captured weapons. They'd take anything they could get their hands on but its really not to realistic to be one with a thompson, garand, 1919, carbine, bar, or really any other kind of weapon. I'd say stick with a "captured" axis weapon and the mp40 will probably be your best choice. What killbucket comes up with next (oh please god, not another tiger gun) is pretty unknown. He's been a very busy bee with his 1919's and work with the stinger and mr. grips along with other items but I think he's up to more. A small suggestion, instead of making another post when you want to add something, just hit the modify button.

I communicate with Otto periodically who kinda runs/created the WW2A. I don't think the group disbanded. Otto, and I think another member, are reenactors who love airsoft but some of the kids there just don't want to hear about accuracy with their gear and such from what I understand. I really think you should contact him nonetheless...or post within the group. Not much traffic going on in the group which is why I decided to branch out elsewhere. I'm pretty sure Otto would be glad to hear from someone local tho'. Mike

The Killbucket (Air Sharp) M1919A4 and I suspect his Stinger once it's out) will shoot stock at 330 FPs since it is powered by the AGM M-14 and that's what they shoot at. With a custom barrel and enhanced hop up (perhaps another 70.00 installed) you'll be firing at probably 370 FPs which is plenty for a support weapon.

He is now selling them exclusively as fully finished guns.
Another tip, at the risk of sounding like some kind of elitist. If you want to be taken seriously on this board, think through your post, write your comments in word using spell check and grammar check and then submit. I'm about as bad as anyone on this site will tolerate and try real hard not to get thrown off as an illiterate wanker. You'll find this is an excellent site with great information but the site trys real hard not to allow the forums to slip into the traditional mouth breather airsoft boards that look like they are all occupied by a bunch of 14 year olds on medication.

Why should it "be said more often" and not pm'ed instead? You don't get anyone's respect by making a public display of someone to get your point across. Personally, I think your statement is rather infantile and really has no bearing in this thread nor on the thread author. Last I checked, this a forum for like-minded WW2 Airsofters...not a forum for it's members to rejoice in whatever issues they have with other members. Just my opinion tho'... Mike Then it would not serve as a reminder to the OTHER medicated pre-teens. Back on TOPIC...

Get together with a buddy and you can order any 2 airsharp guns for $450 each. Just write "buddy discount" in the comments box when you order, you'll only be charged the wholesale price for them....this message will be deleted in a few hours.... I really appreciate the enthusiasm and positive comments! Thank you all so much.

Well, bear in mind he's a true 'Mom and Pop shop' over there I can just see it now- He's probably got his whole family in there working in sweat-shop conditions, one crackly old transistor radio on a shelf of the garage blasting out 'classic rock' and a dim florescent light bulb flickering on and off and buzzing..... I think I can hear a dog barking somewhere off in the distance too......

I ordered a 30cal last year in like early december and I didn't get it til like late february so that's like 11 weeks but when I got it it was missing several external parts and was missing about half the air holes in the barrel jacket but I think it was because I was constantly emailing killbucket directly about the status. If I were you I'd try to contact killbucket via pm and see how it's coming along.
