renegadecow Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 His is a "I'm running as fast as I can without ruining these expensive pants". Similar to "I have diarrhea" run. edit: Aaaand so I won't totally derail the topic, I find it strange for rumors of two different rifles being in the works. I very much doubt they can do both the G3 and FAL within a short period of time being too different from each other. Apart from the models already shown with production prototypes, I wouldn't put too much hope in either battle rifle just yet. Link to post Share on other sites

NightFury Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Why can't we have an M1 garand that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Marushins is way overpriced and I'd be willingly to shell some coin for a decent clone that'll have aftermarket support. Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I recall there being a Garand in the background of one of we's pictures when they were showing off a different prototype about 2 years back.So its possible they had considered it at some point. Link to post Share on other sites

NightFury Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Well, WE already has the m14 and knows all it's problems. All they have to do now is go back in time and magically fix there bugs. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Marushin's Garand isn't overpriced. It's definitely expensive but pretty much justified. You have R&D cost, all metal construction, wood which is a huge premium considering how small Japan's forest cover is (example, Carom handgun grips average $60), plus it's made in Japan and not somewhere else with cheap labor. What they could make is maybe a CDX version like what they did with the M1 carbine: plastic furniture, CO2 rated internals, and partially OEMed in Taiwan. That'll bring prices down a good amount. For upgrades you have RATech and TSC steel parts. Link to post Share on other sites

Probotector Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I'd do everything for a L1A1 GBB, even if it's a WE. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Now if that GBB FAL rumor is true, I think I'll shell out for an Israeli foregrip. And stock. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I don't think that's a rumour? It's just us dream talking... or am I mistaken? Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Well.. the evidence has been posted. Apparently the comments depicted in said post are from a guy who's in the know, so it's a pretty substantial rumour at the very least. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Ah cool, and it looks like they're now pretty comfortable with steel stamping, so good news! will definitely own one if it has enough steel externals! Link to post Share on other sites

paranoiddroid Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 The problem with a garand is the realism question. Do you do some sort of en bloc clip set up? How do you make one that's reliable and affordable. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants it to ping. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Make it ping without actually flinging the mag into the air? I think a bottom removable mag likelike how AEGs do it would be the more practical option. It's the same argument of shells or no shells for shotguns/revolvers. Link to post Share on other sites

NightFury Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I wonder what other kind of 7.62s and SMGs. We definitely could use so high caliber replicas. If only they could do a Barret with an aluminum bolt or something light enough that gas efficiency doesn't go to poop. Or why not a shotgun? Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 For a decent pling they would need to use a quite extensive piece of steel, but I guess it would be mechanically doable. Link to post Share on other sites
ninja master of coffee Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 The other big problem with an M1 Garand is just the weight of the bolt, it's a lot of metal for compressed gas to move, I would guess that CO2 would be a much better option, with only Japanese manufacturers making them so far that hasn't been an option. Of course you'd then have to balance the amount of gas cycling the bolt vs the amount that propels the BB so it doesn't take people's heads off. My thinking has been that you'd just have an internal, non-removable magazine that you load with a speed loader and have some kind of percussion plate to make the SPLING sound. Anything with actual ejecting en bloc clips will just be an unskirmishable nightmare. Link to post Share on other sites
