Gene Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I heard this was a boys version. In one of their catalogues there's a "coming soon" and there's the L85 sillhoette. Someone showed a scan of it on IRC. Can't... remember... who... Swifty maybe... dammit! Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 They are probably going to make both, but they are probably pushing ahead with this L85 due to the situation in Britain. They want to make a lot of sales before the ban....but won't it take them a long time to get it out? I mean the M14 took almost a year or so before it came out after I heard about it... ~P Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Shao, the M14 needed a whole new gearbox which must have added alot of dev time, they have the V6 and V1 sitting around for useage. They just need to perfect the body and optics. Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 First, I am Prometheus... Second, I agree with you. They have the parts, the just need to put them together. And the V6... Isn't it a "By gun" kind of thing. The M1A1 and the P90 are the only ones that have this gearbox...and they are each made for that gun specifically. If I had to guess....they are gonna put a V3 in there just because there is somewhat of a surplus, and the fact that it is stronger than a V2... but I want a V6 in it. Much more quiet. ~Prometheus Link to post Share on other sites
coded121 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 add to that, they were already planning a boys version so surely just a case of enlarging what they already have Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Well, we don't know if it is a Full size version or a BOYS version at this point. We are waiting to hear the PR from Marui. ~P Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I sense a return of the Version 1 Gearbox.... Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Oh, Noes!!!!!SHIFT111!!! That would be crazy. If people want to buy the L85, then they will want to upgrade it. No need in getting it if it has a V1. But iy would be funny. ~P Link to post Share on other sites

Prometheus Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I'm on the Killer Penguin squad. I'm starting to think this is going to be a BOYS model... or maybe the L85A1 will be BOYS, and the A2 will be a full size version? (or vice versa) ~P Link to post Share on other sites
Rob15 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 finally, TM are making a gun i want but i wouldn't buy it i want ICS to make one and i want them to make it fast Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Seeing as how TM are making more quality metal parts for their guns such as the M14....the L85 might actually be a VERY good gun. If it is not a BOYS version.... god I hope we're wrong with that idea though.... ~P Link to post Share on other sites

Prometheus Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 and it would be great for any armalite owners <{POST_SNAPBACK}> True, very true. I just hope it is going to be a full size so all the L85 wubbies out there will stop saying "Give us a Decent L85!!!!" ~P Link to post Share on other sites
