Is the RS "hype" even relevant anymore? I mean, Systema now / will have receivers made by Knights Armament Co. So that covers the AEG market (yes, there will be a price difference but nothing RS kicks out will be able to compete with that Koolade), and if this represents RS move into the GBBR market, given the healthy and established competition, well.....say no more.

 

Don't get me wrong, more choice is always nice, but RS has developed a "boy who cried wolf" reputation, not to mention they seem to struggle to populate the market with their established product line.....all this leads me to being rather nonchalant about any news that comes from their direction.

Their mysterious solenoid ARs did kick up a storm for a good reason, their reputation at the time was certainly shining compared to how it is now.  They've certainly presented some interesting models (pics from gunfire.pl's facebook page):

My personal prediction is standard V2 AEGs along with WA system GBBRs.  Those PMAGs are more than just a tad reminiscent of the ones G&P made/make for the WOC line.

I think they're supposed to be designing a new type of gearbox, at least this seemed to be what was suggested a few years ago:

I know, that's what I was referring to in my first sentence of the post when I said 'solenoid ARs'.

 

But as I say, I don't predict we're going to actually see that product.  I will of course be more than happy to be wrong however.

I call BS on that. Those are WA GBBs. Not only are those G&P Pmags, but the upper rifle in the first pic has the pin holes in the mag like a WA heavy mag. So unless RS faithfully replicated GBB features to make thier AEGs look like GBBs it's a WA type GBB. I'd say G&Ps (1st one is a bomber conversion kit) except for the second one, that's an Ino or a Viper

RealSword have been putting M4s on display for years, if I remember correctly, and never got around to releasing any of them. I might be persuaded to buy an AEG M4A1 from them if it was truly 1:1 like their Kalashnikovs are, but even then, without recoil, why would I take it over my Recoil Shock? Hopefully that electromagnetic blowback system comes out eventually. I don't know if I'd bother buying a GBBR from them, especially not a WA-pattern one, unless it was markedly improved; I reckon between Inokatsu and Viper the ultra-high-end market in WA-variants is more or less sewn up.

LoL! June release? thats what they said 3 years ago XD and we havent seen a working prototype yet. Hope Im terribly wrong and they actually release it, because im in the market for 2, 3 or 4, just so I can fiddle and fondle them like a fat kit on supersized tacos covered on belgian chocolate

It's already been confirmed the gun would be a WA system GBB beefed up at internal points that Real Sword thought were inadequate, I specifically remember some magazine with an internal warming system or something like that.

 

 

This really isn't a resurrection as they seem to have "functioning" prototypes of their guns for like, 2 years now? Makes me disappointed when I see new pictures of the same stuff, albeit dressed in different accessories heh.

Last time I talked to them a couple years back they alluded to the product being conceptually awesome but not completed even in prototype form. Basically that it was vaporware and that they felt it wasn't the right time to release it. Shame ... cuz conceptually it was very promising.

I tried to pry an answer out of them, but i think the design is not even remotely finished yet. The lower looks like in the picture. The upper has a massive bolt carrier with some odd escort looking internals.

It's like they took an AEG lower with a GBBR upper. I still haven't figured out how it's supposed to accelerate the BB.

 

The externals etc was of course in amazing quality.
