orca Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 CAW (Craft Apple Works) Japan. Has officially posted on their website, the ability for Japanese customers to reserve their M134 Minigun. Price in Japan is ￥300,000, but the site states that is not a firm price. http://www.caw.co.jp/store/caw/m134/index.html This is probably the rumored Echo1 M134 as reported by Airsoft-news.eu, and makes sense for the relation of PHX/Jag Precision/Echo1 - CAW's Grenade Launcher and Shotgun line.

Kalashnikov_kid Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Nice! £1500 not nice K_K Link to post Share on other sites
Lidmh Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 They have one of those on Evike for $4,000 US dollars? I think Redwolf has a video of it shooting as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Edmiles Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Ouch. If it does come out at that price, it won't do any better than any of the other M134's out there. We need a chinasoft version! Link to post Share on other sites
Catman Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 You're thinking of the creation one. I spotted the news of this on airsoft-news.eu but there's abosultely no details other that "it's electric" and "costs a lot but not as much as others" to get excited about. If I remember correctly Echo1 are the ones behind CAW making it in the first place. Hopefully CAW will release some more details of it soon and it doesn't just turn out to be a naff body shell kit of some description - I'm pretty sure I heard something about it firing down the barrels properly but we'll have to see.

The Crunchy Bunny Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 WooHoo for a most likly full plastic M134! Link to post Share on other sites
monkey530 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Yeah, thats what it looked like on the youtube video E1 released about it a while back. Link to post Share on other sites

Pablo Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 oh noes, the link doesnt work Fixed. That last "l" on .html always comes in handy. So that's about £1500 then? (at the moment) Link to post Share on other sites
Beilmann Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Still kind of freaky price and size Link to post Share on other sites
davecymru Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 no no no no no no no no no..... After seeing the creation one at Redwolf for <cough>lots of money</cough> I promised myself if i could get a working M134 for less than 1,500 i would. This may go badly on my bank balance Link to post Share on other sites
mojo Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 For pure poop in the pants morale busting, nothing beats the 134. All you need is a leather jacket, shades and an ammo *badgeress* to go with it. Hopefully, it won't be the 40+ lbs the Asahi one is. Link to post Share on other sites
tweaked_tim Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Makes me want to rig up a gun mount on a jeep and go blasting through the woods at the next game. Link to post Share on other sites
apmaman Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Just a heads up that the CAW minigun is now for sale on Zeroone. For a small price of £4000 I'd link but its Zeroone and it never works. However, looking at the gun it seems to me that its just the Echo1 minigun which can be picked up for £2500. Whats the point in this one then? Also they have the "long" barrel set for sale too. Link to post Share on other sites
RSM Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 ...with a world wide recession on is it really that good an idea business wise to spend the money to bring in even one of these which will probably sit in stock for months on end when they could have spent it on something that's more likely to be bought by customers?

TheFull9 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 What are they actually thinking over there? I mean who seriously goes "hmm... everyone's totally skint right now and ACM guns are flying off the shelves like no one's business... I've got it! Get in some stock of £4000 mini-guns!". Tools....

Sherlock Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 They managed to sell guns to people without club registration so selling one in a recession shouldn't be hard either. Link to post Share on other sites
tome Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Sadly the recession only really hits hard those that aren't loaded. If you're filthy rich the recession will be but a blip in your cash flow You might be a little out of pocket but you'd still be loaded. If you had 4000 quid to spare for a toy in the first place you stand a fair chance on having it to spare despite everything. Now where's that lottery ticket. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Andrews Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Not something I would buy to stock, but I'm always surprised how much money people will pay for a hobby. People pay £1000+ for golf clubs, £1000's to race their cars in formula's (I know I did ) And don't forget those who customise or bling their street cars. Airsoft players are misers compared to them.

Libris Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Uh, what? It's quite simple really. If you have shitloads of cash then a recession is great. A lot of things and people's time drop in price as demand dries up so you can actually buy more stuff with the money you have. Of course if all your money is tied up in bank stock and other shares then you're *fruitcage*ed... Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Not something I would buy to stock, but I'm always surprised how much money people will pay for a hobby. People pay £1000+ for golf clubs, £1000's to race their cars in formula's (I know I did ) And don't forget those who customise or bling their street cars. In middle of the 80s recession (1 in 10 out of work, year long miners strike etc) meself and couple of thousand other nutters were spending 2, 3 even 5 and 6 grand a pop on custom scooters (at mid 80s prob equiv of between 6 and 18 grand current money) The recession knocked the *albartroth* out of the mass market dealers who were used to selling a bunde of 'off the shelf' low profit per unit bikes per week, but the small custom shops offering high profit per unit stuff still had enough business from the hardcore enthusiast market to keep their heads above water and actually did quite well. Some folks had '*suitcase* loads of cash' but most folks probably hadnt much more than the average wage to play with - was just that a good chunk of what they did have was disposable income and their interest in their chosen passtime verged on obsessional (which as a result saw most of that disposable income going on that one passtime rather than spread over three or four competing interests).
