The best SIG
 

Hello everyone

I recently fell in love with the Sig armality series, I blame it on Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Vegas (produced in Ubisoft Montreal!), and loved how the 552 looked and functioned in the game. Now I am wondering which of them is your favorite and why.

Is it the 550, 551 or 552?

The 552 in airsoft form is a good gun. Unfortunatly, many people sold theirs and only a handfull are still in "service" among the comunity. Maybe because of his lack of mojo and popularity in movies.

The 550 and 551 are not in production anymore. My 552 was an impulse buy but after dumping in parts and buying a swack of mags I'm quite happy with it. My next purchase is going to be a LAM unit to house a larger battery and if things go well I'll snag a metal body later on.

I think I'll keep my 552 seeing that I have the uber rare Hurricane metal body. :p

I love the 552, I'd get one if I wasn't such a large battery fiend.

I just got mine, now its only a display piece...gonna get that illusive metal body when I got some cash in hand....

Sweet, where from?

I got my Sig552 last Xmas, have fully upgraded to shoot at 350fps...work done by the trusty Illusion. Also I have the Hurricane metal body installed. I am using a LAM unit with a 9.6V 1700mah battery that produces an impressive ROF. Used the gun once at an outdoor game, this gun is most effective if you can edge closer to your opponents.
The only drawback about this gun is that the TM low cap mag only holds 40rds as oppose to the M16/M4 mag that holds over 60rds. The TM Sig high cap mags hold 220rds only. I understand that ISC will come out with Sig high cap mag that holds over 300rds…I will check it out for sure in the future.
I confess that I was temped to sell this gun a couple times and decided to keeps it for good as this is such a fun gun to shoot. It will definitely out perform a number of other sub-machines guns…but I will keep my opinions to my self.
To see more Sig552 in action at the movie screen, check out Assault On Precinct 13, Miami Vice and the TV series The Unit just to name a few.

MAG does make midcaps in the full 30 round length instead of the stubby 20 round length mags. The midcaps hold ~100 rounds I believe, I had 2 of them for my 552 and I had no misfeed or jamming problems.

Sig 552. Was my first AEG.

Impulse buy yup. Played CS far too much and loved it on there and just wanted something just like it in real life.

Boys and there toys huh?

It'd be cool if someone makes the Sig 550 sniper....

ics is apparently making a series of sig 550 guns at some point in the near future according to rumors

the bodies on the 55 series tend to be a bit "thin" and plasticy fealing. If there was a full stock option for a large battery I would be all over it.

The 550 is an older gun and the 3BB burst is cool but has it's issues. It has an older TM feal like the Famas.

Go 552 and get a high scope mount and some rails to accesorize. The mags with fakies in them are really cool looking too!

my buddy has a sig 552 upgraded to 395fps and he's pretty killer with the stock folded and in CQB. it's a sweet little gun. of course he gets more mercies with it than shooting... wierd.

395FPS in CQB? I wouldn't play in a CQB field that allows guns that hot...

I was gonna buy the 552 but i read a bad review on it...all i rember was something of week body and a sqeeky stock, i dunno it was a long time ago. is that true?

ps. hey takatorikku (i know its off topic) but the maruzen p99 is the shit!

Ive read alot of reveiws so far and the only complaint ive heard of is the weak battery, which can be fixed very easy with a custom battery. (my dad used to work alot with the Tokyo Marui R/C cars before that company got into airsoft, the batteries and connectors are the same for both). It is far outweighed by the postitives ive heard about it, range isnt so much of an issue for me because Ill be at Xtreame Tactics most of the time, and ill probably get something a bit larger for outdoors a bit later

PS if you are looking for cheap batteries, try a local RC shop and see if you can dig up some old tokyo marui batteries and/or connectors, they might still have some kicking around after 30 years.....

SIG 552, got it on impluse, love it. Great gun in stock form, I've yet to upgrade it.

Im gonna be getting a motorcycle soon. I currently own a TmAk47 , god love the thing, its gonna be too big for me to transport. I have always loved sigs, BTW, dont know which sig 55(_) it is, but its definately in the movie HEAT is it not?

anyway, I have been leaning towards going Sig 552 because I may be able to fold it, put it in a small case, and get out to games with it in my saddle bag. (are there any rules about transporting airsoft on motorcycles?) It would be in a 'locked' hard case, dont think id go Napsack, that could hurt.

I figure its the perfect size, and just as "dirty sexy" as AK's. Other than the battery, anything i should know about? I dont see very many on the market...

So far the idea seems to be taht there are a few sig552s out there, alot of ppl used them as their first gun and are available on the classifieds once in a while.

The only issues im having is finding lowcaps in Canada, because these have the fake ammo in them, they cant be bought off a US site. 007 and ASCA have them listed but stock is next to nil. See them in the gear classifieds once in a while though

Your probably thinking of the FNC in the downtown scene?, because I dont recall any sigs in heat other than the pistols.

In the streets, i thought Pa chino pulls out a sig 551 and shots at Val. its only for a second. i guess it was an FNC, its been years. whatever was in the movie, was siiiick :P

i still have crush on sig 552. the mag that comes with it, and 2 hi-caps would serve me juuuust fine. id probably order the mags with the gun, if i got it from say, 007.

any word on transporting airsoft via motorcycle??

It was indeed an FN FNC in heat. You want a small reliable AEG, get a P90.

god bless the p90's, but it aint a sig ;)

552s are great, but the only way id be happy with them is if i had a tone of mags, and a metal body, which dont look easy to get lately, so ARs for me.

P90 is also the king of small arms.

I just bought my Sig 552 off a teammate. Didn't think much of it at first but then when I held it I loved it instantly.

For the mag, the mid-cap from MAG is a good alternative to stock low-cap. No fake rounds and the size is of the 30 round variety(longer mag). And still no winding required....

They come is a pack of 4 I think form most retailer...

About the metal body, I think it comes and goes on most online shop Redwolf had it in-stock a week ago(no money and no means of importing it), but after like 2 days its back to out of stock again, so it's quite a hot item I guess....a dream 552 would have the metal body and the Proud RIS kit.....though between those 2 upgrades I think you are looking at ~$6-700 cdn...
