LordElpus Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 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. ^This. Not being able to figure it out is seriously bugging me. Link to post Share on other sites
Baddbaz Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 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. The biggest issue with realsword is the way they do business , who wants to pay upfront and then wait whilst real sword build it . Too much money sitting dead for most retailers , their products are awesome though and customer service is brilliant . I am still holding my breath in the hope that their m 4 makes its way to the market place eventually , same with the type 88 dmr and support weopon . I will be front of the que if they release them .As for the systema guns , I can see them being , overhyped , overpriced and probably still needing tackle burys attention to make them a reliable skirmishable weopon .

1st Commando Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I would not hold out for anything from realsword to be honest . Pretty much the same prototypes of the last few years and the staff gave the same vague answers and they appeared to not really know why they were there Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 It must be quite costly to be an exhibitor though surely? Why pay that and not have anything serious in the bag? Link to post Share on other sites

spetsnazdave87 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 They claim to be bringing it out this year in the anniversary year of RS, but like you said I'm skeptical.My mate who sells real firearms thinks the RS AR15s apparently look extremely like Norinco ARs.

PureSilver Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 They will be Norinco AR-based; RealSword are affiliated in a nudge-nudge way with Norinco, which is how they have access to the QBZ-97 and QBZ-97B (both manufactured by Arsenal 266, a division of Norinco). I am reliably informed that RealSword explained that were they to start making AR-15s, they would simply divert a few of the receiver forgings (which are extremely cheap) from Norinco and make airsoft, rather than real, guns out of them.

That makes sense though the Norinco finish is less to be desired. I've handle their early and current Norinco CQ-A The only thing I love about Norinco CQA is the manual.

NeoVeNoM Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Visited the RS booth at IWA this year, all the M4 models are GBBR. And it looks to be WA design. However, there was this... Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 some of them were the electric ones the electric ones had more realistic bolt carriers than the gas rifles Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 strange, since they told me there were no RS AEG M4. Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 lol, it was even on the labels next to the rifles . That said I do not believe they will be making them anyway Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 lol, it was even on the labels next to the rifles . That said I do not believe they will be making them anyway I did not check the labels, no time for that. Just had a quick chat and took some pics. All I can say is that they told me all of the m4 replica's present were GBBR. Link to post Share on other sites
jal3 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 One of them is definately an AEG...or at least half of it is. Link to post Share on other sites

1st Commando Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 same with the rest of it , the same old demo model just as unlikely to ever get released Link to post Share on other sites
Aod Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Which is a shame really, that QBU-88 really is truly lovely. Link to post Share on other sites
Hopna Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 It sure is. When it was announced I immediately planned on buying one, but since that was 5 years ago I don't think it will be released soon. A true shame, as I always like new types of airsoft rifles. Link to post Share on other sites

jal3 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 It's made like a "real" AR15 barrel. Just to 6mm and smoothbore. Like Izhmash did (but never released). Link to post Share on other sites

Isamu Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Being some GBBRs based on the WA system, this time it could be actually true... not that I care much, but if they start releasing stuff, maybe they release their awesomesaucerevolutionary AEG Yes, daydreaming is my specialty today Link to post Share on other sites
