Pain_is_Red Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have wanted a MTAR-21 since I got into airsoft. Here's hoping the Chinese get their fingers on this and make an affordable clone. EDIT: Just got done watching the video... Jumping Jesus on a po-go stick! That is gorgeous, they even incorporated both the built in RD and laser. Link to post Share on other sites

Horsem4n Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 *suitcase*, that is expensive. maybe the brunt of the cost is the sight? Link to post Share on other sites

Pedro30 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 800 bucks!?!?!?! That is quite expensive... Hopefully the price will decrease by the time of release. Link to post Share on other sites
Shriven Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hopefully, cos I need a Tavor in my life! Link to post Share on other sites
ThaFlash Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I know someone who will be none too pleased about this. Looks good though... for a bullpup. Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I know someone who will be none too pleased about this. Looks good though... for a bullpup. you mean TSI? well I guess the price is high maybe because of the reddot sight with built in laser. If it's close to the real thing, 850 USD is a bargain. if the reddot is actually poorly made, then, yes it's too expensive. We all know that superb electronic sights easily cost 300-500 USD, and those aren't the most expensive ones. Still need more info. Performance? type of battery used? which magazines will it take? (obviously stanag, but then again,not every stanag is the same in airsoft) EDIT; here's the thread: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...howtopic=157797 Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Given STAR/ARES past track record on Red Dots, I'm not holding my breath. Link to post Share on other sites
DesertFoxRomel Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 ARES is made in Japan, right? Japanese red dots for real steel are great, but not worth $400+ great. Battle proven brands such as Trijicon, Aimpoint, and so on can charge arm and leg for their tactical dots because 1. They are mil spec 2. Battle proven and adopted, 3. every grunt and civi wants one. ARES, a unproven, CLONE optic/ AEG company, can never charge that much for a CLONE dot and justify it. The most expensive red dot or rifle scope for real guns made in Japan are around $100-$300 range. Link to post Share on other sites

Horsem4n Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 yeah, ARES is Taiwan. as far as TSI being angry at ARES, they are fully aware that ARES is developing this gun, but TSI is going to be much different. TSI is doing to the Tavor what RS did to the type 97 and 56. TSI also promised to sell theirs at 500. Link to post Share on other sites
rws591 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Is UFC in Japan? Because if it is the gun is going to cost way more there, than any other country. Link to post Share on other sites

renegadecow Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Oooh, what if WE steals it and a GBB version comes out? I think that would make the price mildly more reasonable. Link to post Share on other sites
Jin15 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Well, it's about *fruitcage*ing time! But... $800? Forget that! For $400 I'd definitely spring for one, for $500 I'd have to think about it, but $800 is right out the window. Here's hoping UFC's price is just way marked up since they're the first person to get these in stock and the currency is in Yen. On the upside, based on the video it seems the red dot optic is much better than previous Ares offerings. Only time and personal experience will tell if this is true or not, but it certainly looks a lot better quality than the G36 dual optic or the Zeiss Z-Point replica they put out a while back.

ARES USA Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Just to confirm some information ARES is not made in Taiwan it is made in Hong Kong ARES USA has had the prototype TAR21 inc MARS sight in since mid Jan. We where displaying it at the Shot Show. The fps on this rifle is 330-350. This rifle is not yet scheduled for a release in the USA. There are still some things that have to be tied up in regards to this weapon. I can confirm that once these issues have been resolved the MAP on this rifle is approx $500 inc scope and warranty if purchased through an ARES USA authorized dealer.

massoh2 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi ARES! Does the lawsuit that STAR filed have anything to do with it? You guys are going to keep producing right? Link to post Share on other sites
ARES USA Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi ARES! Does the lawsuit that STAR filed have anything to do with it? You guys are going to keep producing right? No this delay in not in regards to this.We are still producing ARES products. Link to post Share on other sites
Royal-Air-Force Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 570 quid? Ouch. But $500, so thats about £360 real money? Not bad. Looks very tempting. Link to post Share on other sites
