Mike_West Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Not sure whether it's news, but I found this thing on Google Image Search today by accident: http://www.ironairsoft.com/product_a0.php I've seen the replica on some American airsoft store site (Evike maybe?), so it must have come out, but I'm surprised by the absolute lack of information on the subject.

renegadecow Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I was told by some guy over at theRPF.com that he'd actually purchased one but didn't chime back when I asked him for some pics. Only other place I know that has it is some Japanese site at full price and with the metal barrel sold separately as they'd bung on an orange plastic one in its stead.

scorch Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I love the Rhino, but hate the snub barrel so refuse to buy one. It seems mental to me that they wouldn't do longer ones too. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Maybe they got a C&D from Chiappa? I'd want one in any length... but obviously not at those prices. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Possibly. At that price I'd get one if it was the 6". Link to post Share on other sites
jv83 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Wasn't it a limited edition several years ago? I know it looks quit different but was it based on the Marushin Mateba maybe? Link to post Share on other sites
Safeword Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 From what I could find with some searching, that gun was made in limited numbers back in 2012-13 and with a crazy starting price at about 700 dollars Link to post Share on other sites
Safeword Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Wasn't it a limited edition several years ago? I know it looks quit different but was it based on the Marushin Mateba maybe? The guy who invented the Mateba revolvers also helped design the Chiappa Rhino but unfortunately died right after so the Rhino came out for sale after his death Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Wasn't it a limited edition several years ago? I know it looks quit different but was it based on the Marushin Mateba maybe? As far as the real one goes, it's still Ghisoni's design which is an evolution of the Mateba 2006M. Airsoft, can't say as nobody's really shown the internals of the Rhino, but it would still need to be different from Marushin's design. Link to post Share on other sites
jv83 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Yeah i'm only speaking from memory, it was a long time ago so I could be wrong. I remember seeing the price and then just trying to forget the whole thing. I also seem to recall that the production number was very very limited and it was sold by an american company, but it does look cool. Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 AirsoftGI had it heavily discounted, but of course it's out of stock. http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=13223 Don't know if any of their photos are of interest. Link to post Share on other sites
vorpalbunnie Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 It sold and performed awfully, so everyone put it on sale with Iron airsoft ceasing production (or rather killing the chance of a second run). Link to post Share on other sites
