Robot 2000 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Although I think the L85 is as ugly as hell, it's the most ergonomically comfortable gun I've used IMO, but then I like the FAMAS and the AUG as well so you can tell which way my opinion is skewed I look forward to this with anticipation *plans BF2 medic loadout* Link to post Share on other sites
x239 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Do we actually have any proof at all that TM are making this gun. Until we do, then i will stay a disbeleiver. Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy_Harry Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 god, I hope if they make a boys version, they have the decency to make a full-size one as well... go on tm, do something worthwhile, you know you want to... Personally I'd not mind if they use the V1 gearbox too much, so long as they update a smidgeon. Even money says it'll use a v2 or v3 though... and optics? who cares?! with or without a susat, I'm getting the first one any proper airsoft manufacturermakes one, and building me a Gurkha outfit yaya, happy days Link to post Share on other sites
Tripod Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Do we actually have any proof at all that TM are making this gun. Until we do, then i will stay a disbeleiver. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Besides the guy quoting TM's PR? No. He did say he wasn't sure if it was going to be a propper AEG, or a part of the BOYS series of AEGs. I was more excited over the poster they released with the M14's poster of that Japanese rifle. And why would they use the Ver1 gearbox, when they have the V6. Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 He has an information sheet. That'll give us more info when he gets back from work and scans it. Link to post Share on other sites
5thElement Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I'll believe it when i see the hard proof lol its true though about the VCR bill, by the time they bring this out, we probably wont be able to buy one! Need to keep our fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites

Most likely they will use the V2 or V3. The V6 is really a speciality gearbox for the P90 and the M1A1 since they have such small space to put the gearbox and motor and all in. Best bet will be the V3 though since Marui knows the V2 can break easily. (The casing can break more easily than the V3) ~Prometheus Link to post Share on other sites

Prometheus Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Ok, I went over to Maruis website...nothing about the L85 yet. Might be the fact that it is still in R&D. Wait a few days and maybe it will come out. My program won't translate the Japanese....so I'm stuck with pictures. If anyone who speaks japanese can go to their homepage...please look for something about the L85 so everyone will shut up about whether or not it is going to happen.

NamantH Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Now me personally love the l85... I love bulpup designs... and I have been waiting for a decent l85. Cant wait for the pix Link to post Share on other sites
FarEast Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Sorry about the lack of me posting on this thread! We are +9 on GMT here and i do beleive it or not need my sleep!! Ok someone mentioned a scan of a broucher/catalogue with a shadowed outline of the L85....well thats what i saw at the TM HQ. The people there are unsure which type it is going to be though BOYS or full size replica. They possibly do both but it is going to be there next gun. Some one mentioned a JSDF weapon??? Like to know what that is because theey only unique weapon they Japanese have is the MP5-J with 3 fire bursts. As I said give me a little time and i will scan the image for you. YOU WILL GET IT TODAY!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Bada Bing Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 looks like the wait maybe coming to an end? Maybe the TM one will actually be better than the real steel version, it wouldnt be surprising or if it is exactly the same in reliability Link to post Share on other sites
billymak Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 smuggling SA80s for t3H win!!1!! you can bring them in, in parts and claim it's all model parts... the gear box for model car parts etc etc innit? Or just keep it exclusive? Private auction for collectors sort of thing... But I'd just hate to have the VCRB "go wrong". I'd get an SA80 if the weight and/or balance was alright... unlike them old plastic ones. Link to post Share on other sites
Desolation mkII Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 you can bring them in, in parts and claim it's all model parts... the gear box for model car parts etc etc innit? We've been through this and I'm afraid that you can't. It would count as manufacturing a Realistic-Imitation-Firearm and you would find yourself in front of a judge were you to be found out.
