Noticed that now that Stampede ECS's are becoming available, they're popping up on ebay- and being stripped into components to sell individually. This morning I noticed a guy is selling the tactical shield, bipod, clips and probably the cardboard box seperately to the main Stampede unit- which I guess gives him a bit more cash at the end of the day. If the guy shipped to Australia, I'd probably have bought those accessories already:)
I can see someone selling the 18 round clips for extra ammo seekers. I've seen Ebay auctions for the 35 round drums and the old titan missiles. The only way I could see someone buying just the shield is if you can hook it up to other N-Strike guns, particularly the Vulcan.
ReplyDeleteFrom what i've seen, someone has attached it to the Vulcan, and I did see the tactical shield on an Alpha Trooper on that original NZ kid-in-shanghai video so I'm assuming you could attach it to anything with a tactical rail. Which I wanna do. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think it'd be any good with the Alpha Trooper or a Raider. Those guns are for rushing as if they were shotguns! Not hanging back and... sitting behind cover with your head hidden. Might be good with a Longshot or a Longstrike as you try to snipe people off. You'll be protected as you line people up (but then your vision will be impaired and... you'll probably miss).
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't like the blast shield. If you couldn't already tell =P
