@Your toes. Hand them over Pre SL8 SL variants are not Civ G36s and the SL8+ shares some, but not all parts with the G36. On an SL8, it wont accept G36 mags, the bolt carrier won't feed from double stack magazines as there are lugs missing from the bolt head, and the receiver is different
Finally a review on this!!! I've owned this since Christmas 2019 and theres been virtually no reviews (especially in English). Thank you so much for getting this awesome rifle out there Mike :) I hope the following helps others. Firstly I'm no pro! I'm still fairly new to airsoft, I'm simply stating how I feel about mine :) -Firstly, this is HUGE!!! Due to it having an an Ares mosfet it ABSOLUTES CAN be electronically locked to single shot on all fire settings with the Ares gearbox programmer. This will be a COMPLETELY LEGAL DMR on all sites that allow electronic locking. I don't know of any UK airsoft site that does not allow this yet but again I'm fairly new. - Mine also came with a super weak spring. My shop changed it without issue as they had described it as min 330fps. Seems this may be an issue, so think about budgeting in a spring suited to how you wish to play with it. - Battery room... I personally found nearly non existant due to the block on the barrel being in the way. I stuck a Nuprol 11.1v 1400 split lipo and it works a treat. It has full steel gears so I'm not worried about them sheering with the extra power. That said I'm still new so I may change that opinion in time. - Mine also has much snappier electric blow back. I'm unsure if that's because of the higher battery voltage. I believe it sounds like an extra shot has been fired as the spring in the blowback bounces on the last shot it fires. Please feel free to ask me relevant questions on this rifle and I'll answer as best I can.
@@chibichan6421 Mag feeding issues. Cram it with 60 BBs and it tends to not fire any. Put around 35 and it worked flawlessly for me. I have a slightly different version but essentially the same rifle.
I also have a sl10T version in the US. Let me say a few things about this gun in comparison to older SL9 ares models. 1. The sl10 in comparison to older sl9 has a few down grades. The selector fire levers are plastic, older sl9 has metal ones. 2.One of the biggest pet peeves is that the outer barrel is molded and glued to the top receiver. The older sl9 like the g36 series has a thread ring that holds the barrel in. So the sl10 cannot swap out outer barrels. 3. And one little pet peeve is that the tactical rail only works on slim body type top receivers so this only works on this gun! 4. Gear shimming is literally crap! My gun came with a “loose bent shim”! Thank god i never fire a new gun ever and always open it up to do things correctly! It wasnt what I expected it to be with the cosmetic material downgrade and the non ability to swap out outer the outer barrel but it is well over strong and sturdy to take a beating and with good upgrades the GB can handle 550fps no problem.
Mat I would highly recommend not using a 11 volt lipo. The fact the gears are metal is the very minimal expected of an airsoft gun over £100 or so, this doesn’t mean they are comparably durable compared to high end CNC gears and the Ares stock gears are not known for being great. In a normal set up they would be fine, however in the uk where we have less powerful spring- absorbing less of the motor force etc - a less powerful battery is almost always recommended. Additionally electronic blowback, the way Ares implement it, is incredibly degrading on the piston head and spring guide, made worse by the faster action of an 11 lipo. I’m no expert but knowing a little about AEG internals, I would recommend a 9.9 volt LiFe and f you want to increase performance and durability/longevity; disable the blowback function which I think is relatively simple to do.
Gotta say, I’m proud to see how much your channel has grown over the years. Been watching on another account for years as I’ve seen you build your channel, now I’m giving it a go! Glad to see UK Airsoft channels going strong! Keep up the great work Airsoft Mike.
Airsoft Mike great video as always 👍 Biggest gripe with this aswell as a lot of other current DMR/semi auto sniper rifles is they all have select fire/full auto, certainly a lot of sites I was playing at before lock down won’t let high FPS DMR/sniper with a full auto function on the field even if it’s electronically or physically locked off. Bring back the Tokyo Marui PSG1 but without the creaking wobbly plastic body!
Nice review, thanks for letting me see how truly horrible that thing is! I love my Ares AM013, but no thanks to that... What’s the point of a ‘DMR’ with a fire select? And marked up as 5.56mm? Just put the internals in a G36? Fine! But that body is pointless.
Honestly, seems more like a collector’s type of fun more than anything-which is fine. However, it is definitely not practical for some of the reasons you mentioned.
Outdated but I wouldn't call the body pointless unless you want to declare any body pointless. People buy what they like the look of sometimes. Especially if they are planning to upgrade it after the fact. In a case like that the body is really all that matters since the internals wont remain stock. I'd say this appeals to someone who wants a DMR g36. Kinda single minded to assume everyone just wants to have a regular looking g36 for a DMR build. Part of airsoft is how you look. For these exact reason I dont use M4 type rifles. My main is a TM psg1. Sure I could have done the same upgrades to a G3 and had a much easier time but then it wouldn't look like a psg1
Tell that to NovisRich that is selling FOR SAME PRICE AS THIS ARES 😂😂 a tuned Golden Eagle SL8 that use the G36K entire front omg WITH SHORT BARREL but with fixed SL stock... the real g36k had a crap max range compared to 20" barrel, that is needed to use 5.56 as DMR. Yes NovisRich sell a G36K with 350mm barrel instead of 500 (20") just using the SL8 rear. Joule Creep enters the chat. But any 20" or more 5.56 can be a DMR, omg that real SL8 had 3200fps... the short G36c had 2300fps. Not only battle rifles can be a DMR, intermediate rounds can be used for long range but it need 20" or longer barrel, as military do with 5.56 or 7.62x39 too (23" tabuk that make the sleepy ak round work as DMR). Anyway, on this ARES for a DMR you only need the microswitch basic model, not EFCS electronic trigger, i had it and shoots semi as a beast, and i mine moves a M140 spring.
Arrrrghhhh that’s my fave I’ve illegally import 4 parts keep getting confiscated and still got half a gun. I’d £1500 if land one in my hands in Oz. NYCE MIKE!!!
Hey Mike just wondering if you could do the JG SL8 as a airsoft in a budget video. I really like the SL platform for its looks and history, but also the fact that the SL series is a mix of a DMR and "LMG". Since its basically a elongated G36 you can slap a G36 drum mag in there and go crazy! Anyways shops in ireland only have the JG SL8 and I'm really tempted into buying it.
You clearly have NOT been watching for 5 years. Because if you have, you would know that Mike does a HUGE giveaway every 100,000 subs to say thanks to his viewers. So nice try!
Mikes enthusiasm just gets me going differently to any other airsoft channel. I know that ares internals are mainly complete sh*t and the price is for aesthetics and the electric blow back (that will destroy the piston from the inside out with no actual benefit other than cool factor) But I still want it aha
Looks like a dmr or tactical sniper version of the G36 platform. I sorta like it, even though it's not exactly my cup of tea anyway. I probably won't buy it, but I wouldn't say "Eeeeew!" if it was given to me as a present either.
They used to sell those rails separate. I built a STAR SL-9 version as a DMR long time ago CNC gearbox CNC hop up unit 18:1 gear ratio. Bore up cylinder kit 6.02 inner barrel made 480FPS on a M120 spring easily. the original gearbox was POS. Ripped the motor cage to pieces when I tried to take the gearbox out. I know still have a genuine STAR SL-8 (the grey sporty model) Picked it up for cheap.
Airsoft mike come you recommend me a gun that i could upgrade and is electric which is good for new players and is between £100 to £200 ✌️ Keep up the good work 👍
Its way better to use the G36 bipod that fits to that SL10, than the harris type you show because dont allow you to prone with long mags, anyway that ares SL mags hold 60 rounds that is impressive for such a small mag, but just get the G36 bipod, its lighter and allow you to use long mags. Anyway this replica is the goat... not like the SL10 that NoviRich is selling without even blowback... based on a GOLDEN EAGLE 150$ model 😂oh yes upgraded... beause that Ares SL8 dont came with awesome EFCS electronic trigger. I cant understand why are buying golden eagle G36/SL series for SAME PRICE OR MORE than an ARES just because its tuned by someone famous.
Hi i know that this is not a important comment but can you give me a airsoft pistol cuz ive been wishing to have a airsoft in the philipines but its ok to not give me
Fun fact. SL-10 is fake. And doesn't exist irl. There is the sl-8. And fires the .223. It's a weaker version compared to the G36. Only having a 10 round mag. The Gas chamber cannot fire 5.56mm, since it's too weak (G36 can fire from the 10 round .223 however) There is a better version of the SL-8, which is the SL-9. Also a semi only version. But firing the .300 blackout instead of the .223. Making it way more viable. The reason i never bought an SL-8, is because there are no semi only models of it. I did buy a cheap model and it's a project to get it to semi only in a DMR status. Can't wait till that is done.
Yes, but if you are only using it for target shooting airguns are more recommended, because Airsoft has to downgrade to make it safe to shoot at others
Mike is able to make me want literally anything he makes a video about.
I know that feeling
Ugly weapon
He's got infectious enthusiasm.
Looks like a Psg1 mated with a G36 and 9 months later this popped out
I thought that
Your toes. Hand them over the grip and stock are psg 1

you should review the type 56 ak-47 air soft my good sir
Where did u get it been wanting a version at least
What type and spring force did you put into it?
You should review a UK Arms for airsoft on a budget
Wasn’t the SL line up designed for the civilian market with single stack mags or am i thinking of something else?
I think you should have put a scope on it. It would look a lot better.
Not sure about the extend top rail though.
I want one of those right now how can I get one of them.
