This is a rebrand of the recently released CYMA SVD, A&K also released one but there is alot of confusion as to which is which. However, E1 has been rebranding CYMA alot lately so it is more than likely the CYMA.

Thats not a bad thing though, CYMA guns (especially AKs) are pretty badass.

EDIT-
Guess its the S&T!

I think it may be a re-branded S&T. The hop up is the same. Brian says the CYMA has a more normal V3 gearbox and hop-up. I don't know what a RS hop up looks like though. If AZsworst was around he probably could verify it.

This is the S&T SVD. The CYMA is crap, and not an actual drag.
This should be an exact copy of the realsword,made with inferior materials.
It also looks like a very bad idea lol. Anything advertising that you should shoot your buddy in the face with 500+ fps, and probably sold for under $300, is going to introduce us to a new generation of FPS misuse.
But it is E1. So i will pick one up used and fix it.

As many of you know, I am sold on Red Star. Although they are rebranded guns there are a few minor upgrades they do and a warranty that make them worth buying over the original. I really love my RPK, and I know alot of people that hate it.

Um.....I would still give this a go! The Rs is well over $500.00 with out optics,the Hop up looks almost exactly the same as the RS.. So if its cost effective I would say that it worthy of some hnads on testing. Im not a fan of the Poly stocks, but some real steel replacements are available fpr $70-100 A pop.
As for
500Fps head shots..well I know first hand that this is already happening :twisted: I was hit at Grozney and at Stalker...Both head shots!
Im sure Echo one is just using this as a way to indicate accuracy and not condoning shooting people in the head.
Lets be honest....
We are (for the most part) grown men and women who play BB gun war...We place our selves on the receiving end of small plastic projectiles .Most folks would say this is not the smartest thing to do. We accept the risk!
How many SVD's wouold E1 sell if it said

That gun at Grozny was only shooting 400 with .25s.

BTW mid cap mags are the 96rnd RS ones for 40ish a pop. Good luck with that.

If they are truly in stock, Brian will have one in a couple weeks. You all can get a personal test feel from the business end.
