Styrling Dart

Overall it looks good but I see three issues.

1) No PDR listed.

2) I am not a expert with firearms (I will leave that to Doshi) but with that kind of ROF in such a small package I would think the recoil would hideous even with a 'small' round.

3) .5 DA/ bullet seems pretty high. For example, these sell for $0.25/bullet. However, I would be the first to admit I do not know a whole lot about bullet quality and prices so I may very well be wrong on this one, it just seems expensive.

There is a folded skeleton stock for stability. The recoil can be remedied with proper stance or ignored completely. This is a cheap gun that isn't meant to be very high-end.

That's our moneymaker for this weapon. The high ROF forces owners to spend more money on ammunition, or to just buy another gun that comes with ammo.

Might be a mistake, or Styrling really does outsource its manufacturing.

Could be an interesting quirk if this gun fires only in full auto :D . Just a suggestion.

Random fact: This gun is about 50% cheaper than the ESG, which is not a problem.
 
NAM issue fixed.

Ammo cheapened due to the advice of a very wise, very bald man.








It's not Doshii, and you're paranoid for thinking it's you, sir.
