Crimson Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Tanaka's CASYOPEA gas system appears to be be very successful. Want proof? For one, they announced new model and secondly, another batch of M500 Gas Charging Cartridge Version is planned to be available in August (which means that first batch is already more or less sold out).

Anachronism327 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Whoo Tanaka... I was just gonna buy a SAA for *suitcases* and giggles... now with this... I'm waiting... Link to post Share on other sites
wolf1a Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I wonder if the M500 shells will fit the upcoming SAA. I doubt it as the M500 takes five and the saa takes six, but who knows. Link to post Share on other sites
darthrebelpenguin Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 DAMMIT TANAKA! Just when I thought I got over any idea of a JGSDF load out, they release a P220. Link to post Share on other sites
FatHammer Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Tanaka sure does know how to make me smile. Link to post Share on other sites
Sale Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I wonder if the M500 shells will fit the upcoming SAA. I doubt it as the M500 takes five and the saa takes six, but who knows. Nope. They are completely different size. Very cool to hear about the shell-loading SAA though. -Sale Link to post Share on other sites
blokhed Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Shell loading SAA? ... Dang. They're speaking my language. And talking my wallet out of all of its money. Now there will be an actual use for all the cartridge loops on my belt! Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 As good news this is for our sport, its making a mess out of my brain. I'm finding less sleep at nights rearranging my priority list of future purchases, all of which happen to be revolvers. Curse Tanaka Works and this Casiopea/Casyopea/Cassiopeia or however which its spelled. Link to post Share on other sites
AZN KID Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I am sad cause i just purchased a tanaka m500 and now their is a shell loading saa my wallet is hurting. Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy_Harry Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 roight. we need to get a petition going, to present to Tanaka, wrapped in pink ribbon for preference, for a breach-loading Webley service revolver. because without question, if that was available, they would make an absolute effing MINT of british airsofters... but shell loading SAAs? anychance we can get this in the cylinder-removing flavour? ala man-with-no-name? cos that would just be too effing cool...

Metal Cylinder for Gas gun SAA/ Gas Charging Cartridge ver. 4,200 Yen (25.28 EUR) I'm guessing they are selling separate cylinders, unless the standard cylinder is now plastic... Cheers.
