Got Wood? Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I had the same but the date was March 2015? Even more exciting, is that one of the pictures has a sterling receiver in it... Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 They update their previous posts. It's real Saw it on my FB too just now. Not a fan of the model but WE FTW! And now we wait for the akward test shooting video with cigarettes, feet and half naked old asians in the background Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Really excited by this. Not sure why but always loved the Thompson almost as much as the P90. Just never bought one! Que 2016 GBBR Pulse Rifles! Link to post Share on other sites

jv83 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yeees. Anti-bandit gun! Now for co2 drum mag Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Possible GBB Sterling in the mix there? That would be super. Now all I need is the M3 Grease Gun in GBB form and I'm going to be really happy. Say what you will about WE, they do seem to bring out those odd items so many seem to want. Their new Walther P38 is pretty nice. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 They HAVE to make drum mags for this thing! Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Then and only then will I buy it lol Link to post Share on other sites

ED-SKaR Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 So King Arms are sitting on their 1928 (possibly due to legal reasons) and WE push out an M1, interesting development. Looks like a different mechanism too (from what little can be seen) Link to post Share on other sites
wildething Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Short 20 round mags are a must Link to post Share on other sites
aaron2310 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Que 2016 GBBR Pulse Rifles! That was my immediate thought too. I would really love it if this happened. xD Link to post Share on other sites
Rob15 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/renegadecow/12524213_1139331126090994_2986072909798072916_n.jpg It always amazes me how haphazard WE's operations look yet they seem to pump out new models at a remarkable rate, 'organised mess' is the phrase that comes to mind, whatever they're doing it seems to work for them.

Faded Mars Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 The real M1A1 couldn't take drum magazines so it's doubtful that WE will make drum mags for this. Unless they've departed from the realism angle. Link to post Share on other sites
BioRage Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Sterling? /thread. Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Mars Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 It seems that with the successful release/design of the WE P90 they've been able to crack the nut of gas guns with non-typical magazine placement. If they can make a gas system work with a top-loading P90, they should be able to make side-loaders like the Sterling and the Sten work as well. Should be good for more WW2 releases. edit: not to mention BREN, ZB26/30, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 The real M1A1 couldn't take drum magazines so it's doubtful that WE will make drum mags for this. Unless they've departed from the realism angle. WE and realism? Don't exactly go hand in hand. Airsoft AEG M1A1 and M1928 mags are interchangeable anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

Brigg Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Well, They made the snail magazine for their Luger, so I guess its not out of the question that they would make one for the thompson. Even if the M1 variants couldn't use them. If they think they'll sell, they will probably make them. Basically no chance in heck of them taking c02 though. Also seconding that I'd love to see a gbb sten/sterling. though with how narrow the tube receivers are, would they really be able to fit a mechanism like the p90 in there?

If they can make those ugly *albatross* hell double stack 1911's, I'm sure that the sterling won't be a problem, looks like it's already done imo, just when they want to mass produce.. (Assuming after the thompsons) Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 The Sterling doesn't look done to me, it looks like its a receiver from an AEG or PFC gun. I would guess that theyre using it for dimensions, like they used a Hudson PFC M1a1 for when they showed the first pictures. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 If they don't put a in-gun expansion chamber in the Sterling like they did with the P90, I rekon just having a sectioned magazine like they always do will be enough to keep the liquid propellant away from the valve. The mag's only sideways after all and not completely inverted. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 They could copy the WA NLS system. Link to post Share on other sites
tquilha Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 All I can say is : - cue Unreal announcer voice- GODLIKE!! I'll be getting 2, one to go as M1A1, another for the GBB M41A That's odd, my wallet ran away... Link to post Share on other sites
