SABRE100 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 For me it's a tough choice between the Scorpion and the Mp7. I want the Scorpion because it's closer to the time period my impression consists of and I want the mp7 because it's fracken awesome.(a little battlestar vocabulary) I can't wait 'til these guns are released; it had better be before next summer.

cazboab Posted September 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Oh I've just thought, what if TM use a similar gearbox to the one found in the Well/cmya type P90s? Similar in size and design, but metal and above 100 fps on .12 Link to post Share on other sites
SABRE100 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I thought of that also, but I doubt they would do that. But then again their boys line is where these designs came from, so a stronger metal version might be probable. That and all the people with lpegs could stop whining about metal gears and such.

Perch Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I think, they'll make a new gearbox, which uses a liitle longer cylinder than the AEPs but uses the same gears as the AEPs... This way a gun shooting 250 FPS would be quite easy to achieve... Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Here's my take on the MP7: It will be an AEP. Looking at the battery in the display, it looks to be a 7.2v using "mini" (2/3A) cells. To me that means a standard aep mech, but with more mah to spit more bb's until a battery change. The battery also appears to have the aep style wireless connection. I would then guess that they'll leave the aep mech configuration alone and use stick style mags. Hicaps in the stick plus fat bottom configuration as we've seen in the 18c. To me that's what makes the most sense in terms of r&d and setting up production lines to manufacture the guns. But...I'm not sure how well the 18c box would fit in a gun with a straight handle/magwell. It might need a new version that runs perpendicular to the barrel instead of the current 15* or 20* angle. Plus the unknown scorpion config. I'd assume the mag on it is going to be functional and not a dummy, so that would mean yet another mech version. Somebody needs to get into their network and get their cad models. Link to post Share on other sites
Connery Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 This is wonderful news. I think I'll buy two, gut one, and see if I can fit KSC SPP internals into it. That should make for an awesome project. Link to post Share on other sites
Mouse Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 What are the bets that we'll finally manage to get our hands on TM MP7's in the UK.... The day after the ban goes through Seriously, I don't expect we'll have them in our market as I don't think many retailers will be enthusiastic about sales a few weeks before the deadline. And that's IF they complete it in time, which I seriously doubt. Still, very nice guns to marvel at. If by any way there's some over here in time, I'm having an MP7, TMP and Mac10. I'd probably prefer gas but I suppose electric wouldn't be half bad. Link to post Share on other sites

Somebody needs to get into their network and get their cad models. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm guessing that's where the re-alignment of the motor would come in. Each of the guns should have plenty of space to have it stored in the receiver rather than the vertical grip. According to the cut out picture I posted earlier (although I saw a better one before) the nozzle area is all that has to be realigned to fit different angles as the piston, motor and gears still work in the same fashion as in any other gearbox. Edit: PS. I'm hoping this will make them all have full sized magazines and a gearbox that can be better used for other customs (M1 Carbine or Sten?) Link to post Share on other sites
DrewLawson Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I want a Scorpion to go with my Russian loadout. That and a decent TT33 would complete it. Link to post Share on other sites
Pain_is_Red Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I am so glad that they decided to make the MP7A1 and not the PDW version. You gotta have the full size top rail. Not saying the the PDW ain't sexy though! I have been playing Lockdown like mad so I like both versions. I'm just hoping I will be able to get the holster for it... now that is a rarety!

Ubar Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Uni, do you know where you can get those chest holsters from? like from the HK promo pics? edit- http://hkpro.com/pdwacc.jpg like that type of thing? is it just the sling folded up in a funny way? Link to post Share on other sites
unimatrix001 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Never seen them. IMO these holsters cannot be bought, I'm pretty sure they're just prototyps for the PDW like the reflex-sight. I pretty like this shoulder holster, maybe I'll buy it for the Marui MP7 http://www.cop-gmbh.de/product_info.php/pr...for%20H&K%20MP7 Link to post Share on other sites

Pain_is_Red Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Pain, you could always make your own lanyard? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yah, I know ...But that holster looks so horrorshow! As soon as I have the gun in my possesion I'll take a long look at it and think of something. Ooo or better yet, I will probably stop at my army/navy store some time soon and check out the Cyma spring version, so I can get a feel for the gun up close. Man o' man though, I am seriously in love with this gun its not even funny.

staticzero Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Man, I almost wish I didn't know this gun was in the works. I'm so bummed when there's no news on it, and it's probably not going to be out forever. Link to post Share on other sites
