Madbull Airsoft: GBB KRISS... and more

A rather shocking (and anticipated for some time) news from Madbull Airsoft: they plan to introduce their first GBB replica and complete CO2 and AEG replicas of assault rifles:

 

Friends,

 

Thanks for your supports for the past year. We decide to release the following photos before Shot Show. You will be the first guy to see these pictures. Our original plan is to release these products at SHOT SHOW.

 

(1) Authorized and licensed TDI KRISS Gas Blowback Airsoft proto-type:

 

 

O noez I've been cloned!11

 

Ok, not really ;D

[Revenge Seeker]

Wow, that really is something interesting. At first, I dismissed it for another MPEG, then I noticed "GBB" and that makes a HUGE difference. At least to me.

 

I think shooting this little baby would be really fun. I gotta try one out when its released. Thanks for posting!

[Pariah_WP]

GBB KRISS? *Faints from joy*

[Kalashnikov_kid]

I enjoy the irony that a smg that is designed to have lower felt recoil is being made gbb and therefore will have more recoil than standard airsoft smgs.

 

Still awesome

MPEG? Since when did Madbull have anything to do with MPEGs?

 

 

This is very interesting. I might have to have one.

Looks like a nail gun...

[DarkLite]

Looks like an ugly, malformed and over-hyped nail gun...

 

Fixar'd.

[screamin_weasel]

i agree - looks total gash to me.

[snorkelman]

the ctr-02 also shown doesnt look too bad (though the sight they've got attached to it would be a bit ridiculous)

 

If they do bring it out in CO2 and AEG versions at similar prices be interesting to see what sort of take up the CO2 version got against its AEG counterpart (though if they're sticking with a variant of that CO2 gearbox they brought out a year or so ago Im guessing on it not selling at all well)

 

[InexcelsisDeo]

although i've always been a huge fan of the RS kriss,

i cant see myself carrying this in the field and looking cool with it hahaha

 

props to madbull tho for thinking outside the box. the kriss is just not my thing

[Inq Eisenhorn]

That Kriss looks like SEX! I love new futuristic designs....if I can, I'm definately going for this!!!

[FireKnife]

Ah what the funk is that????

 

Looks like people in the future will be fighting with nail guns that have been forced to look like this.

 

'FireKnife'

[Catman]

Think I'll reserve any form of excitement until I start seeing some photos of a prototype.

 

I still dunno about the Kriss, would I buy an airsoft one? If it was "funky" when it fired; maybe

[happy.al]

It wasn't used in Nam, therefore it sucks.

 

As sucky guns go that one sucks so much it smells bad.

[Crispin1025]

Count me if for two, I love 'em.

 

Cheers,

Daniel

[IronWolf]

Bit of a risky venture on Madbulls part, good on em.

[MDK_Marshal]

Cool! i love the looks of the KRISS, I may have to look into getting one... =D

[felix4536]

the KRISS platform in airsoft terms looks like it has the potential to be a very good GBB smg.

[TDS]

I hope the GBB version has an external gas/cheap magazine option, or adaptable to, I dont want to pay a grand in magazines for a smg, only thing that has stopped me from getting one so far.

if it does, SOLD!

 

Doubtful, but one can dream

[uscmCorps]

I seem to recall the RS Kriss used Glock mags. It would be supremely awesome if Madbull made this compatible with TM or KSC Glock mags. Sadly... that is highly unlikely... but it would be a huge help to their sales as many of us have those mags already.

 

Personally, even if it had proprietary Madbull Glock mags... I'd still buy it for CQB. And considering Madbull clearly has an understanding of the international market, it would be awesome if they made a version that was Green Gas compatible (unlike WA, TM and all the Japanese companies that are restricted from making guns capable of using GG). Considering that Madbull is a Taiwanese/USA based company... I think that is likely and would be a very smart business choice. I will definitely buy one of these.

 

Thumbs up to Madbull for taking a big gamble like this.

 

 

 

[Angry]

The best thing madbull could do would be to design it to use CO2 bulbs with a regulator.

[BigAl]

Well cool, be good if we get this soon the RS one isn't even out yet.

[4boost]

Lol, I'd buy one just to have it. It's kinda cool... Would be great if they used CO2 bulbs in the mags like Angry mentioned.

[Marcel]

Why the KRISS is nice in the real world: A lot of firepower and control at the same time.

 

Why the KRISS is nice in our world: I really don't know yet. It first has to proof against MP5K/P90/MP7/UMP...because 6mm is and will ever be 6mm ;-) but the style factor is even before the release very high :-D

[uscmCorps]

Don't forget another big difference between the guns you mention and the Madbull KRISS is that you're comparing AEGs to a GBB. That needs to be kept in mind. Another factor is that AEGs can use hi-caps whereas GBBs are only capable of using standards (historically speaking). However, if the KRISS is done right... and users of AEGs use standard cap mags, the KRISS can in all likelihood be a competitive airsoft gun.

 

My recommendation to Madbull would be to ensure the default gun has high reliability, decent accuracy including a tightbore inner barrel, and runs on GG. Both short mags and extended mags need to be available. Parts that should be metal on the RS, are metal on the GBB etc etc. Just make sure it's a solid gun that doesn't need upgrading and you've got a strong seller.
