Bandwith on their website is crap as usual so good luck to ya !

links dont work

Like I said, their bandwith really sucks so you need a download manager or a whole lot of patience...

I'll see about putting up an alternate source.

Here's one while it lasts...

[EDIT] My bandwith was exceeded in no time, so I'll leave it to someone else that downloaded it to provide an alternate link...

thanks for the link

just Bd my L: Ares is making an M40 Pulse Rifle from Aliens. If it doesn't use strictly proprietary parts, im all over that.

Other than the pulse rifle, other things that caught my eye:

AW 338 spring powered version (doesn't say VSR compatible though)
WA 2000 spring powered (VSR compatible)
M40A3 spring powered (if this is VSR compatible, i may actually buy this and do the whole sniping thing)

Ares just blew my mind...

Well, if you've popped it up on Google, I'm not going to risk my neck adding my link unless yours goes down.

PSA: Please note that the PDF posted is not the final version of the 2010 ARES catalog. This PDF is current as of January 2010, however, the contents of the posted PDF still contain errors that need to be edited and is therefore subject to change without notice. While nevertheless informative, this version of the 2010 ARES catalog should not be considered definitive.

Incidentally, the Pulse Rifle is an AEG.

Yea I noticed that too, that's why I posted the original links so it downloads the latest version... always try the download on their website first then mine if you're too curious (like me ;) )

M82A2 and M40A3 in the coming soon section

I better check my lottery numbers.

whoever has it downloaded should upload elsewhere :)

didnt see anything new from last catalog (2010 as well)

Only thing might interest me is the G36 hope we can get those. blowback with realistic disassembly...mmmm

ya the realistic disassembly is cool, but honestly, ill just stick with CA G36s. They are tried and true and dont have the blowback. i know some people like the BB, but i personally dont. Still, their G36s looked great.

I don't see a M40A3...

If blowback is a deal breaker for you on the ARES G36, you might not be paying enough attention.

That's a free-float handguard and one-piece barrel. Fixes the old issue with both CA, STAR and early ARES G36s where the handguard actually moves the barrel (usually 2-piece for the K and full length).

Realistic disassembly means that if ARES releases the barrels and handguard separately, you can go between C-K-E/nil in a matter of minutes and still have benefit from a stable barrel. Older G36s wouldn't have allowed that change nearly as easily due to the disassembly by tool required to get to the hopup unit.

Upper receiver is now one-piece. Fixes the older CA G36 issue where the upper receiver can split apart slightly.

Improved stock design, now the rear receiver / stock interface looks like the real steel.

Locking bolt cover, though the latest CA36s are suppose to have that, too.

Improved optics. The 3.5x scope I've seen has sufficient eye relief for PB goggles and crisp visual. Apparently the red dot is improved, too, but I haven't seen that yet. Personally, if the real steel G36 red dot is not that great, I never really expect the airsoft one to be any thing more than a novelty.

Still worried about blowback? Quick disassembly. One screw. Reassemble. Blowback disabled. Or so I was told, should've remembered to look when I had one apart at Shot.

Throw in quick spring change and Micro Switch, same as all other ARES AEGs.

The CA G36 is indeed tried and true, but the ARES G36 is still unabashedly better.

thanks for the info Saint. Much appreicated :)

im actually debating selling my CA G36C because i want that Pulse Rifle so badly!

it was on the coming soon tab underneath the AW 338 spring gun.

Alright i see it now

And it'll probably be released AFTER the AW338-Spring, too.

Some more aftermarket support for their sniper rifles would be nice! They got some nice lookings guns just not a heck of alot of support

The spring sniper rifles should accept most Marui VSR parts.

agreed. it specifically says that for the WA 2000, but not for the AW 338, which is a bit worrying. That being said, i should think the M40A3 will be 100% VSR compatible, but who knows. Still, im an thoroughly impressed with Ares now, especially since they are releasing spring versions of their gas sniper rifles.

Does Ares even have a retailer it sells through in Canada?

No you would have to import it from an ASC retailer.

ARES is currently one of 4 manufacturers that are officially legally providing opaque airsoft guns to Canada through Canadian distributors.

Are you sure? On the Mach1 website i see CA, VFC, ICS and PTWs being offered in full metal, i don't see any Ares AEGs.

My mistake, 5 manufacturers. I forgot Mach1 was doing Systema.

From your experience, what is the extra cost required to do this? How much more money am I looking to have to spend?

I've never done it myself but the best way to get an estimate of how much a gun will cost here in Canada is to take the price of the gun and then multiply that by 1.5-3 with the higher mark up going to cheaper guns ie JG, Cyma etc. To know a more specific number you should ask one of the AV'd members to help you.

Heyds, I would recommend getting Aged Verified, if only so you have better access to information than the Newbie Tank. There are important information here that have been limited to AV members.

Shooting Addict, with all due respect, that goes for you, too.

Not old enough to get AV'd yet unfortunately, i know you guys have better access to info thats why i told him to ask a AV'd member.

In all honesty, I am also underage. But I respect the sport and laws, and only want to be respected as an individual in the community aswell. I know the bad reputation that his been caused by some of my idiot generation, but not all teenagers are losers. I only really intend to learn at this age, and maybe "borrow" an airsoft or two from my parents for the intention of target shooting (In a safe, concealed envrionment of course) and maybe playing in a game or two. (London Airsoft has this option, with restrictions of course)

Heyds

all of these look pretty nice; if only the ppsh41 was non blowback

I cringe to think about how much a PPSh will run us in this country.

No kidding, $400 In the U.S. Is bad news for us.

I was looking at their CM200 Sniper rifle: http://aresairsoft.com/cm200.html. And I saw in the description: "EASY CHANGE SYSTEM : GAS / SPRING / CO2 / PAINTBALL

Paintball? How come, I don't understand. Can anybody enlighten me on that? You just change the barrel? or it shoots .43 cal paintball?

Because I know some Milsim paintballer that would go crazy for a Sniper rifle like that shooting paintballs.

Thanks for that. The 10KB/s download from the ARES website was giving me horrible dialup flashbacks :)
