BigAl Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Using KSC or TM mags might be good but what about using it's own AEG style mags and the gas could go in the large receiver where the recoil mechanism go's on the real one? That way the mags could be alot cheaper and perish the thought they could make mid and even high caps for the people who won't use anything else. It could also mean a nice large stable gas tank which would also be easy to convert to external for the US Power Freaks! Ont the sublect of using Glock Mags I wish some one would make a GBB Micro Uzi's that uses Glock Mags. Link to post Share on other sites
boxmag Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 For those of you that think the KRISS looks like the ugly side of a nail gun. I'll show you what it looked like in the early stages before magpul got in on the act. How's that for ugly? Link to post Share on other sites
terrorist killer Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Why is madbull making it, why couldn't escort or TM or CA or maybe even JG do it (TM,CA and JG in AEG form though) In fact if it's cheap enough, that could be a good project for someone to investigate Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 What's wrong with Madbull? As their working on the real one I reckon there perfect for the job. Link to post Share on other sites

Fin Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 nO NoT ArmALIte? No Hi cAppZZZ? AM FAIL THEN!!! I would of preferred if madball aimed at something that more people want (couth PKM couth non US or German world war 2 guns for the millionth time couth) however the Kriss is something i like the look of and may consider getting if its priced fair And the fact is a GBB.......well :D Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I think you mean Magpul.... Ooophs! But seriously what's wrong with Madbull? Link to post Share on other sites
creepingfear Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm very interested to see how well Madbull can make a KRISS. What with it having a sort of Sci-Fi look to it, you could probably get away with having it in 2 tone as well. If it turns out to be a really good reliable replica, I'll definately be getting one.

RSP1 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 The Badgers all for Magpul guns, but he has one question, Where is the F-ing Masada!?!!? Bushmaster is doing the Masada now under the Adaptive Combat Rifle name so I don't know if plans for an airsoft one are still going to go through. Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt TM and CA would try their hands at it (especially doubt CA due to getting dragged to court and loosing over copyright and trademark issues recently). TM could try it, but to my knowledge they have never tried producing a product that infringes on any of Madbull licenses. So TM doing so might find themselves in legal trouble. JG has yet to proove that they can produce a highend product. I'm perfectly fine with Madbull making this as I'm already a big fan of their 40mm grenades, Halo silencer, DNTC suppressors, CNC outer barrels, and Noveske KX3. Also don't forget that Madbull is typically pretty reasonable in price and high in quality. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Bushmaster is doing the Masada now under the Adaptive Combat Rifle name so I don't know if plans for an airsoft one are still going to go through. Isn't the Masada a Magpul intellectual property? If so, how would Bushmaster be able to pull that away from them? It should also be noted that the Masada is still on Magpul's homepage. If they weren't making it I would have thought they would have at least pulled it off their site being that this is Shot Show week coming up. Link to post Share on other sites

It should also be noted that the Masada is still on Magpul's homepage. If they weren't making it I would have thought they would have at least pulled it off their site being that this is Shot Show week coming up. Bushmaster Firearms International, LLC (BFI) announced today that it has signed an exclusive license deal with Magpul Industries Corp. for the production, future development, and sales of Magpul’s prototype MASADA weapon system. The Bushmaster ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle) will initially be offered in 5.56 NATO, available for law enforcement and civilian purchase second quarter 2008. This release will be followed by military ACR versions in the 3rd quarter of 2008. Without government funding or outside influence of any kind, the Masada concept was developed from scratch in Boulder, Colorado by Magpul’s Design Group. The Masada concept was first shown publicly at the 2007 Shot Show and its success prompted Magpul to spend a year redesigning the system for production. The result is the ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle) which keeps the fundamentals of the Masada concept with added advanced features such as firing pin block and true ambidextrous charging handle. Among the ACR’s key features are a gas piston operating system, tool-less quick change barrel, multi-adjustable folding stock with integrated storage, and backward compatibility with a number of AR15/M16 parts. Due to similar operating controls, user transition from the M16 series of weapons is easily facilitated with minimal re-training. The Bushmaster ACR will initially be available in 3 SKUS: Standard Carbine with fixed stock, Entry Carbine with folding stock, and Special Purpose Rifle with Precision Rifle Stock. Live fire demonstration and test and evaluations beginning in the end of March to qualified law enforcement, federal government agencies. Edit: Magpul is still designing and manufacturing the polymer parts, however: As far as Magpul's direct involvement goes, we'll be designing and manufacturing all polymer ACR parts including, but not limited to, handguards, lowers, and stocks. The bottom line: you get high-end Magpul kit straight from the factory on your Bushmaster ACR. So it's up in the air as to what's going to happen with regards to an airsoft version.

BigAl Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Magpul still own's the right's to it, so if they want to they can make an airsoft version. Whis as they are producing the Polymer parts anyway shouldn't be to hard. Link to post Share on other sites

Shinden Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 About time it was announced! I thought Madbull was going to be tight lipped about this one until Shot Show! I'm going to really enjoy Madbull's offering to the max, both JP Rifle and KRISS. Link to post Share on other sites

sturgis Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 And people dare claim my Sig 556 is fugly... geez! lol No matter how many times i look at that gun, i just can't get exited about it... imho it's been beaten to an inch of it's life with a massively big uglystick, left to revive, and then beaten again with an even bigger uglystick! That said, it's pritty friggen awesome that a company is willing to bet on such a "radical" design, and make high end replica of it, with some intresting features to boot! Way to go Madbull, muchos respect! Looking at the some of the fans of the kriss on these boards, i can imagine some people are dribbling all over themselfs with anticipation Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 well I suppose if you are going to do a GBB from the ground up probably better to do one that A you have the licence agreement signed n sealed on to whack would be competitors over the head with B that no one else already makes even if its only got a quarter of the interest of any other GBB model all the interest is going one way to their door, and not spread over half a dozen different manufacs. Personally though I got to say that gas powered goodness or not it is butt ugly Link to post Share on other sites
sturgis Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 yeah, that makes alot of sense actually. Link to post Share on other sites
lin_pointer Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 the co2 version of the rifle should be interesting to see, it be better if it is blowback and takes external sources. with the criss... this is a gun for people seeking realism, not practical for people who likes aeg with no recoil actions...

Inq Eisenhorn Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder....but my guess is that comment was made by man, in reference to woman! Whats a beautiful gun for you guys! Try as I might, I can not think of any gun that falls into the catagory of beautiful!! I think (IMHO) that this gun looks different from most offerings out there, and that is what gives it its "attraction"...if I go to my local airsoft site, I see same old, same old...week in, week out! Its not even because theres a lack of choice...I guess you're average airsofter just wants to fit in.... Well, I want something else, yes M4s are all well and good, but I can't move for the damn things! Give me the Kriss...and don't get me started on Systema and the "new" MP5....if ever a company needed a kick up the *albartroth*, its those boys (and girls) at Systema.....I guess they haven't heard about the shift in popular military thought...HK416 anyone, ermm FN SCAR perhaps?? ....and YES, I am a b1tch....I fully intend to get the King Arms Troy next month..so, MEH!
