Mike_West Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 WE Airsoft announced on their Facebook page that they're looking for new ideas: https://www.facebook.com/weairsoft/posts/1061969193827188 I couldn't resist and shot them an e-mail. You're either gonna love me or hate me for it, but hey, three of them are pretty much a formality for WE. Subject: Five easy pieces So, piece one, cosmetic adjustments: post-War Browning HP. All it needs for a start is a new slide with more conventional rear sight. The Tanaka Mk3 was popular enough to warrant considering, particularly after True Detective Season 2, where one of the protagonists had a HP. Piece two, more cosmetic adjustments: GBB SCAR-H SSR. The fact that you clicked "Like" under my comment about such thing might hint you're working on this one. Am I right? Piece three, still cosmetic: GBB SL8. Milspec full-length G36 barrel instead of a civilian one would be even better. Piece four, some engineering required: GBB G3 rifle. Get the basics in place (Apache firing mechanism, new nozzle and magazine), and that's a very nice start for a GBB PSG-1, which is most certainly going to be a huge hit. Piece five, out there: GBB FN FAL. FAL is kinda neglected in the airsoft world, with only two manufacturers making AEGs, so why not up the ante a bit and make a GBB? Regards,Mike Right now, I've received a reply that yes, they got my e-mail and will pass it on to the R&D department. Not sure if they will and they haven't even addressed my remark about the SSR.

Isamu Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Wish they expanded a bit their katana model range =( Anyway, being WE, Gas guns will most likely be the result Link to post Share on other sites
Rogues Loki Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 HS Produkt VHS. My work here is done. Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Definitely going to suggest a HK 417. Someone should totally bring up a GBB 249. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm pretty sure they're already prototyping a GBB G3 and FAL. I'd love to see a GBB VSS/VAL. Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Definitely going to suggest a HK 417. Please don't that is boring boring *fruitcage* snoring Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Opinions and *albartrotheth* come to mind. Would rather trust WE than VFC and I would like one. Admittedly stuff like a FAL, G3 and "proper" HP would be more fun but I could see them shifting a fair few 417s. Maybe an upgrade to their CO2 mags as supposedly they're not great.

Got Wood? Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 A refresh on the 1911 range, and more officers and subcompact models would be great. Extended mags for them also Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 A refresh on the 1911 range, and more officers and subcompact models would be great. Extended mags for them also That too, although leaving all those schmucks who bought their abysmal original 1911s in the cold would be rude. Even if they completely redesigned their M4 line already.

FireKnife Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Updated the Hi-Power, make more models. Bring out some new pistols like the Steyr M9A1 or some classics like the Walther P5. Improve the current crop of guns so that they are all up to the same standard and not a shoot for some models. Kinda obvious really, we have many of the common pistols out there now, just need to look at less common ones. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 P7M13 and a Welrod (which should be really easy as a non-blowback) Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Welrod would be sweet. Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 FN FAL (think you can also make the whole SA58 series with little effort). Ultimax 100 http://world.guns.ru/machine/sing/stk-ultimax-100-e.HTML SAR-21 http://world.guns.ru/assault/sing/st-kinetics-sar-21-e.html Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Here's an idea. Hurry up with thst M1a1. Gas Aug on stanag / pmag Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 GBBR AUG para. And I'm surprised no one has yet mentioned a Pulse Rifle. They've got a Thompson in the works already, and they've claimed many years ago that they had in fact be working on a semi shotgun. And an SL8 with short mags would be sweet and hopefully has cheap as their G36 series than ran for about $200 USD. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 What's the 9mm AK that takes MP5 looking mags? One of those would be cool. Proper PPK and P88C. Link to post Share on other sites
DrAlexanderTobacco Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 A Borschardt C-93. Not even joking here. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Going on the WE Luger, I would avoid a C-93 like the plaque. Link to post Share on other sites
Rogues Loki Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 What's the 9mm AK that takes MP5 looking mags? One of those would be cool. PP-19 Vityaz? I wholeheartedly concur. Also, on the subject of Russian hardware I would also suggest: MP-443 Grach 'Yarygin'. Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Maybe a poll could be set up with 50 different guns. Everyone chooses their top five. We tally up and the five most liked get made. And it's actually nice, that a company is willing to try and make what we as the consumers ask for. I don't remember the last time an airsoft company did this. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 PP-19 Vityaz? That's the one. As for a poll. The result will be probably be 'OK, guys. You've made it clear you want a Desert Eagle that takes CO2 magazines. However, what we're going to make next is a tan Glock 17 with a few slide cuts' Link to post Share on other sites

Where would we be if we couldn't choose from 130-something different triggers and 60-something slides for our porridge gun? Link to post Share on other sites
Rainer1989 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Please MP-443 pistol and AUG GBB!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Algy Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I emailed them and suggested: Browning HP Mark III, with hop unit. G3/PSG1 (more interested in the latter) Ruger P Series (wild card; doesn't seem likely given they're not really military pistols) Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Please MP-443 pistol and AUG GBB!!!! I'd love a Grach too. Not a fan of GIM rifles though Link to post Share on other sites
