[SFA] Army Armament R17-5 Unboxing! 

Thankyou very much! Well happy. 😁

It's an extremely good weapon for the money out the box, and with a few relatively cheap mods (IE less than a TM) you can trick it pretty much right up. The mags for these are cheap and work well as well, around 16 quid they can be found for so makes for a cheap load out. Every gun is different, so I'll wait till the firing test of this particular gun before giving a recommendation, however if you find yourself in the market for one they can be picked up cheaply and with relatively little risk of getting a lemon. There are also factory tricked out models that have metal/cut slides, fancy triggers, stippled externals etc. For less money than the equivelent models from other manufacturers.

It's been steadily increasing, I've kind of tried to ignore it to be honest, otherwise it becomes an obsession. 😂 I'll note any particular milestones (500 for example) and say thanks but that's it. As long as I can make videos I want to make I'll be a happy bunny. 👍

I got this from Bespoke Airsoft in the UK, but most major Airsoft sites/shops will carry Army Armament these days

Whereabouts do you live?

Hi there Faze, with a plastic replica such as this R17, I'd recommend green and nothing hotter than that like red. TM don't recommend using anything higher than 144a or something like that, but most people run green in them.

It does in the UK, I'm not sure about anywhere else as I have no experience with specific countries customs.

Depends where you are based my friend...

Hi there, all the guns on this channel air Airsoft rather than air weapons so will always take 6mm plastic BB rounds unless I say differently in the video/description. 👍

@@MrLilredmachine can this weapon take 6mm metal BB rounds?

@@user-740jpwrogk80 it can physically load them, however those are going to weigh considerably more than the 0.2-0.25 gram BB it is meant to fire, so performance will be terrible if they make it out of the barrel at all.

Bespoke airsoft usually have them for around 55 quid last time I looked, that or BBguns4less have a fair amount of them in there, as well as the Double Bell glocks.

Hi there, Bespoke Airsoft have it in stock for £54.99 at the moment if you are from the UK. If you aren't from the UK then tell me what country you are from and I'll have a bit of a hunt.

@@MrLilredmachine know anyplace besides 6mm for the us?

@@TheDarkElk I'm pretty certain you can source them from the states. Someone else had the same question in here and I remember finding them over there.

Im from the united states

@@blumoon3261 www.moaitoys.com/shop/index.php/army-r17-g17-version-3-metal-slide-gbb-pistol-black.html they have them in the states, that's the metal slide version for 60 bucks. 👍

@@MrLilredmachine i bought one from em ended up being a scam they dont reply to calls or emails and they arent even baised in the location they advertise on the website i should have looked more into it, lost 97 dollars

In a hobby where a GBBR mag costs 60 quid on it's own these days, a fully functioning GBB glock with full TM compatibility is nothing to be sniffed at. The mags are very good as well to be honest. I have never had a leak with any of my 4 that I have.

£54.99 from what I found

Hey, yeah it's about 55 quid in the UK if you shop around!

Thank you very much! And thank you for the sub! 😁

Hi there, convenient wasn't it? 😂 It's just the unboxing for the minute, the review will be posted next week, we'll have a deeper dive into firing performance and internals. 👍 I got this from Bespoke Airsoft, they sell it for 55 quid or thereabouts. Most prices sit between 60-65 quid, so they are about the cheapest in the UK.

@@MrLilredmachine Sure was! Super excited! And thanks. 😊

@@MrLilredmachine dang so it’s only available in the uk?

@@mikeylol3053 www.moaitoys.com/shop/index.php/army-r17-g17-version-3-metal-slide-gbb-pistol-black.html Just off a quick search, it appears to be available in the US pretty easily. That store is in California. That is the metal slide version for less than 60 bucks so you get an even better deal than we do over here! 😂 Apologies for being UK centric, I know some of you guys over the pond watch as well, I'll say prices in GBP and USD from now on if it's available in both.

No, this is a stock later model one. It's nowhere near as good as the one you now have. 👍

@@MrLilredmachine ah sweet
