Kireru Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 We got a video from Airsoft Review.fr - we shared it on our facebook page www.facebook.com/actionsportgames where it gets some shooting action, in case anybody wants to see Link to post Share on other sites
Scotty H Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Yea i saw that last night thanks, looks great. I'm more interested in release information. haha Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 It seems only UK shops are having it in pre-order. Is that so? Link to post Share on other sites
Taragon Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Anymore news on the date UK retailers should receive their stock? Link to post Share on other sites
Kireru Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hey guys - production is well under way and the first EVOs should be hitting shipment next week, I cant however tell you which one's are being shipped where first. Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Btw is that the final look of the magazine? Because it would have been nice if it had fake bullets in it or if it was transparent and you could see how many BBs you got in the magazine. Just sayin'. Link to post Share on other sites
Kireru Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 There wont be a transparent magazine with/without fake bullets. We did look into it - the fake bullets would be more material and time consuming, bumping up production time and price per mag. The housing for the magazines are in one piece, thus making it difficult to attach something on the insides like a fake bullet plate. Maybe in the future we'll look into it, but for now... no Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Pity, I wouldnt buy a transparent mag with fake bullets but I would definetly buy transparent mags to see how many BBs I have left... I love the PTS T-mags for the M4 and the cyma bulgarian mags for AKs, definetly a huge improvement to decide if a tactical reload is a good idea. having the EVO3 mags slightly less capacity than regular smg mags, the possibility of precisely knowing how many BBs I have left certainly is an advantage Maybe in the future PS: Transparent mags are cooler too Link to post Share on other sites
Scotty H Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Well I don't like transparent mags I think they look like two-tone poop. I do however quite like the beta project pmags that have the bullet window but hey ho lol Link to post Share on other sites
Kireru Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 A transparent mag would be cool since you can check the BB count. We just didn't get the same feedback across the board from the people that we have asked about what would be the best first release, since it didn't appeal to the more "real steel" crowd players. Then again according to the operators manual of tactical arms and bang shooting..."if you use more than 1/3 for your mag, you do a tactical reload when available from a prone position with a situation awareness in your dynamic work space under stress". Just saying Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I understand that for a first release it is better to stick to realistic looking mags and probably release transparent versions later, just hope the transparent magazines are released in the near future. Then again: I dont care what operators may instruct, if I can see how many rounds I have in my toy gun I can focus on shooting, having fun and not counting how many shots im making, then just make a tactical reload if I decide its a good time to do so. We are all airsofters, chair commandos and weekend warriors, if someone thinks he is somekind of "operator", he should have it checked. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 ^ what? They already said they won't be releasing realistic looking magazine as it's too much effort to make it transparent and fit dummy bullet effects, so whichever way you look at it, it won't be realistic, black or fully transparent. And what's with the unprovoked rant on people who play differently than you... I get it, you think milsim sucks, but Jesus have a cookie, Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Well, they said they wont be making a fake bullet mag, which is what i dont want, but I would like to see some transparent mags so I can see how many bbs I have left, which I understand wont be made for release date(logically), but im just leaving here a bit of personal input in hopes manufacturer think about it and they are made in the future Link to post Share on other sites
Taragon Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Just to jump in... i like fake bullet mags But regardless... what i really want to know is when will JD Airsoft be expecting their first set of stock? Been waiting such a long time for this gun and it seems like i've had it on pre-order for a lifetime. Sooner they get it, the sooner i can spend more money on mags and accesories...

BLACKW47CH Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Hey guys - production is well under way and the first EVOs should be hitting shipment next week, I cant however tell you which one's are being shipped where first. So did this actually ship anywhere last week then? Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Fairly sure some have them, saw a few posts on Facebook that I think was LWA. Link to post Share on other sites
Pdubyuh Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm wating on JD too, release them already!!! I just checked LWA they look as if they are still on pre-order. BTW do you guys think the mags will fit in a BFG MP7 10 speed mag pouch? Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 So did this actually ship anywhere last week then? I'd say no. Link to post Share on other sites
rautasami Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 The first ones were sold at Berget 12. The price was about 450€. Link to post Share on other sites
GroundZeroUK Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I literally just ordered mine from JD airsoft this morning they have said they are hopefully receiving them in a weeks time apparently the shipment was delayed due to hop issues was what I was told just to let you guys know.

Wingmann Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 The price was about 450€. Not tempting :/ Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Maybe it is the launch price and it will go down soon... i hope Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 We can only hope. I'd really like to have one of these, but it's not a priority that would justify that price right now. Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 We can only hope. I'd really like to have one of these, but it's not a priority that would justify that price right now. Exactly my thoughts, I need an M4 to replace my old and dead one and im devating between the new DTW keymod version and keep waiting till the ASAR, which will be most surely released after this evo3 has taken off Link to post Share on other sites
