FarEast Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Well it's been a while since i brought you some news from Japan and what with the excitement regarding the news that Tokyo Marui will at some point release the MP7 I have more news for you! Maruzen will be releasing a MP7 also along with the UMP both weapons will be gas powered with gas blow back very similar to thier MP5k range. The weapon has already started to appear in some of the magazines out here and also on some of the webzines available and from what i have been able to make out the weapon will be released early next year. (there is still no information on the TM model) I'm hoping to get some photos and news on the TM MP7 and also the Maruzen weapon at the BlackHole show on the 7th and 8th of January Link to post Share on other sites
Ubar Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 when this was mentioned a few months back, some people thought it would be shell ejecting. can you confiirm this is a load of tosh? Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to be giving Maruzen a call later to see what they have to say just to clarify other details. Link to post Share on other sites
Crandall Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Awesome, it's not gonna be shell ejecting. Now I'm much more interested! Link to post Share on other sites
staticzero Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Nice. If it's non-shell ejecting then I'm much more interested. Especially if there's still a risk the TM MP7 will use AEP internals. However, it will have to be significantly better than Maruzen's MP5K - I need it to be able to take green gas/propane reliably.

elrey Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 very similar to thier MP5k range. So in other words, blowback sucks on 134a, but they explode on green? Link to post Share on other sites

Xfight.x.meX Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> anyone else noticed that the UMP in this pic could quite possibly definitely maybe just be a raped g36? .x.Alastair.x. Link to post Share on other sites
HKG36 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Awsome, anything on how much it will cost? Link to post Share on other sites
david3558 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Its not an UMP, its a G36 with a missing carry handle... Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Wow, umm it better be a hell of a lot better than the MP5K series, as from dealing with fixing my friend's MP5K that thing was a pain when using anything but 134a. It required a lot of work to keep running. That said, I'd love to get that and a Hensoldt reflex scope, would be pretty wicked to have as a backup weapon. Link to post Share on other sites

I was in the local gunshop today and they said the 1st batch is possibly going to hit the shops end of Feb begining of March. No info on the pricing yet, hope to assertain that at the blackhole show. As for the MP7 well the real one is basicly a raped G36 Link to post Share on other sites
Bob the Angry Potato Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 No, the picture's just an MP7. The G36 there, I believe, is just for size comparison, the UMP just isn't pictured. Link to post Share on other sites
Holmes Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 That's not the airsoft model, is it? Looks like a rs to me. Link to post Share on other sites
nightfire6 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 That's not the airsoft model, is it? Looks like a rs to me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because it is real steal, the mag on the G36c is real, the dust cover opens up all the way, and you can see the bolt carrier inside the ejection port.

Sledge Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hey guys, perhaps they'll fix the shortcomings of the MP5K on this? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They haven't bothered to improve the MP5, despite bringing out two or three updates of it. All those CQB models with rails up the ying yang. Yeah, cos a lack of rails was the MP5Ks real problem. Link to post Share on other sites
Lt.Fenix Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 is it going to be open bolt like the mp5k when it should actually be closed bolt? also my mp5k has been working fine on greengas after i modded the nozzle spring with a washer to prevent it from unseating also it firing just gas when its out of bb's is sort of annoying, they could have made some type of stopping thing like the ksc m11's bb pusher stopping the bolt from firing, wonder if theyll fix that too Link to post Share on other sites

With the release of the Scorpion. It fires from the closed bolt, and has a bolt hold-open mechanism activated by an empty magazine. What they haven't fixed are the durability/reliability issues.
