Kalbs: "What am I going to do with two PPSHs?" Why, a direct comparison article of course! I see a sticky in your future!

For sure I'll do a breakdown review between the two but when it comes to game play I'm not sure if I want to "Lara Croft" them into battle with both barrels blazing. (although, maybe I look good as Lara Croft?)

Only if you integrate that into the review, because then you would definitely outdo the guy who reviewed the Hexagon PPSH.

Gunnerairsoft has the PPSh listed as "in stock" for $295 shipped from Hong Kong. I wonder if they didn't get as many preorders as they anticipated.
Looking forward to it!

I ordered one this morning via Gunners web site completed the transaction with Paypal. One hour later I went back and it was marked "out of stock" with no ability to "add to cart." I'm hoping this was the behavior of an inventory aware ordering system and not a fluke. Perhaps I got one of guns from the initial pre-order group. We shall see.

Yes, the feeding system "ist kaput." I'll get it working soon enough, but this takes some pressure off the project.

Having now seen and handled both the the ARES and Hexagon PPsH's... Hexagon's model wins hands down in the Aesthetic department. You will not be disappointed
Well done Maxim, it looks awsome!
Those who ordered from Gunner's, it is verbally confirmed on their way.

That's good to hear. Mine is in customs right now. I'm just hoping they can tell the difference.

Just unwrapped my HP PPsh-41. What a nice job. It weighs in at 9-lbs on my bathroom scale, is metal, built solid, and is pretty. I think the Russian team has a winner. (A couple of Germans too Well, at least one if we want). I'm not here to give this a thorough report (as others are far better at that in this forum) but just to tell any fence sitters that it's time to stop sitting. With the video and everything these pics aren't really needed but I wanted to show that it does exist. They do paint the tip of the barrel with orange enamel. I took that off with acetone. I love this build. It is going to be a game changer at MOA events. 600-rounds and easy to change batteries, and ammo loading which is easy. This gun is very cool. I just wanted to be the first to report back as a happy customer in the hopes that I'll also be first on the G-43 prototype list. If their next offering is this good, then AGM who?

Mine showed up one day after Otto's. I haven't been able to do much shooting as both of my mini batteries were at end of life. New cells are on the way. It's a very nicely executed product. The fit of the components (steel and wood) is exact. The magazine is all metal and seems bullet proof. She's heavy in all respects. Of course, if any gun is going to fail it will be during a game...so the real review can happen after the April "East Meets West" event in Neillsville

Gryphon and ba64 both saw, handled and fired mine today. Smiles all around and Gryphon really likes the price. I believe this is a game changer like I said earlier. This is the best airsoft gun I've ever seen. Stamped steel and wood like the real thing. Mine has gone through a 1,000 rounds now without a jam or any problem whatsoever. I am using the 8.4V mini but I think an 11V li-poly in this gun would be something to see.

No it is not lipo ready. You would need to use a different connector. But that would be easy enough. I don't like lipos but on this gun a lipo would speed it up which for the model would be really cool. You want it to shoot like a raped ape.

I don't like lipos but on this gun a lipo would speed it up which for the model would be really cool. You want it to shoot like a raped ape. The rate of fire on a real PPSh is about 900 rpm. I'd say that's 8.4 volt fast I've stayed away from lipos having had good luck with conventional intellect batteries thus far. They make 1600 minis now which is what I've got going into the PPSh once they arrive.
