NightFury Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 What are the chances of WE making more SMGs? They seem to be on a role with their release of the smg8, MP7, and now the many vafiants of MP5. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I bet that's something only WE could answer. As they're a company that you can't predict what they'll release next (unless it's a M4 variant. They seem to have given up on AK designs for the time being). Link to post Share on other sites
mvirtue Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 They seem to have given up on AK designs for the time being). I remember James of Wetti saying that all variants were in the pipeline But then Wetti != WE. It looks like WE is actually going to finish out the MP5 variants ( Assuming the SD is actually released and not teased). Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I need that SD. I can't see why they wouldn't release it now. Looks to be practically ready for production! Link to post Share on other sites
mvirtue Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I need that SD. I can't see why they wouldn't release it now. Looks to be practically ready for production! Yeah, they have the sliding stock, so that would be left is new stamped steel upper ( but we have seen the teased photos. ) Might be that they need to have a production run to get enough rifles to then ship out.

hitmanNo2 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Word is WE have put all their airsoft projects on the back burner for the moment so they can focus on their sex toy range. Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Lol. That speedloaders a joke. WE should just stick to producing as many guns as they can so there'll be even more variety for us to choose from. Their internal quality is really improving from what I've seen these last couple years. My MP7 and AK74 all are stock and they still run great. My AK just hit the 30k mark and has minimal wear.

DeltaZero Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I need that speed loader though! Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Perhaps... We see it as a joke. But think about the potential here. It could be a way for WE to source financial capital to develope and produce even more epic products (airsoft guns that is). Everyone knows that the military and sex industry runs the world. So WE makes a *rickroll* shaped speed loader = $$$ ... I mean, those Asian buy some crazy *suitcase* Well played WE... Well played. Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Next thing you know, WE releases land mines that look like "milk jugs". On the plus side, it might be extremely effective in a skirmish. A curious cat might be surprised and reach for it, then boom, him and his team are out. They might just sell like hot cakes and make WE will finally give us that P90. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 P90 will be released (as has been hinted at a fair few times), when the P90 hits 25 years old . . . . . Link to post Share on other sites
Rob15 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 P90 will be released (as has been hinted at a fair few times), when the P90 hits 25 years old . . . . . I can't help but think there is a bit more to it than that, the patent for the P90 in France (where Cybergun are) will have expired, it will also have expired in the UK, HK and Taiwan where WE are based, Belgium is the only country I've heard of with a patent protection period over 20 years. If patents are the issue then they probably could be sold in all the countries which have 20 year or shorter protection times and I don't think Cybergun would have got involved with a P90 project if there were patent or licencing issues that would stop them distributing it, also, isn't the FNX-45 quite a bit newer? To me it smells a bit of WE pointing the finger at Cybergun because they know the airsoft market hates them and they're an easy scapegoat, but who knows. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 To me it smells a bit of WE pointing the finger at Cybergun because they know the airsoft market hates them and they're an easy scapegoat, but who knows. To be honest WE are hardly the lord Gods of airsoft are they? I would just be as likely to say WE *fruitcage*-ed up as CyberGun (ok maybe 45/55 in WEs favour but still). Though it would be nice to see a P90 in gas form but it seems we are getting all sorts of reasons for us not seeing it appear with claims that it will 'soon'. Perhaps the gas P90 is the Duke Nukem Forever of the airsoft world. Will take far too long to come out and then when it does it turns out to be an odd design trying to masqurade as new / awesome? Never know. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I swear if VFC makes the P90 I may just have to jump on that. Can't wait any longer. Can't wait for the SD any longer either, but I can't seem to justify buying the VFC for $500. Hurry WE! Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 FNX-45 is licensed to cybergun (is it not), so that's different to being out of license. Also, I thought the P90 would come under the Belgium side of patent laws and as such would be 25. But this is conjecture really, as nothing definitive has been said/released (all just rumour at this point. But rumour that has come from sources that have been right in the past) by WE. Good diety no (regarding the duke nuke 'em forever comment). That was 15 years (give or take) in development hell (which is an overt generalisation). The only airsoft product to come close to that, is the TM M&P. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 What about the TMP AEP thing. That's been in the unknown for many years. Link to post Share on other sites

But this is conjecture really, as nothing definitive has been said/released (all just rumour at this point. But rumour that has come from sources that have been right in the past) by WE. Yes, the P90 would be covered by the 25 year patent in Belgium, but everywhere else which has 20 year or less patent protection periods the patents will have expired and a P90 could be sold if that is the issue. Thinking about it I'm not sure it could be a patent, the internals and working design of a GBB P90 will be nothing like the real one which is what the patent is going to cover, it's the external appearance that's important and that'll just come down to Cybergun getting approval from FN to sell a replica, if they haven't already. Even so, if WE really wanted to they could just ignore Cybergun and sell them through some made up brand I'm sure, which brings me back to my point, I'm not so sure it's just down to waiting for a patent to run out, I bet there is more to it.

hitmanNo2 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Indeed. There's definitely more to it than patent issues. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Anyone care to guess, or are we thinking 'mechanical' issues? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Purely speculation but it must be something engineering wise. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'd wager it's something to do with the reliability (or lack thereof) of sticking your liquid state fuel above where it needs to be in gas form. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Agreed. To do it right I suppose it would need a two stage gas feed. Fill the mag with gas. Load mag. The mag then fills the internal tank as if it was a gas bottle. The gas can then feed from a tank in the bottom of the gun. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I thought about that as a possibility too. You'd get hella cool down on it though as you wouldn't be switching out your cold gas tank for a warm one every time you change mag. I guess time will (hopefully) tell. I have so much want for a GBB P90. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Good point. Perhaps go with a setup like gas shotguns. Have a gas tank/reservoir cassette type of thing you slide into the the bottom of the receiver and then load with regular light weight AEG type mags. Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 With all the money they're pulling in, I wished their R&D team could figure it out. If not, they should give us a UMP and hopefully expand their HK line up. Link to post Share on other sites
