mhe Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I hate it. First, there are news coming. And then, the long wait between announcement and reported progress begins... I just want that gun dammit! Link to post Share on other sites
zentaurus Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 They've probably read this thread and decided not to bother. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> still in that mode, huh? Link to post Share on other sites
mhe Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Wonder if they will ever come out of that mode again... Link to post Share on other sites

mhe Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 No, I just have seen so many things announced and then they never came up. I really don't want to become the GBB Five-seveN the Duke Nukem Forever of the Airsoft world. I will always pray for this gun to be released. Ultimately it will be made, because the manufacturers are out for our money I guess. Link to post Share on other sites

mhe Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I'd still want some news on the gun. Why are there simply no news whatsoever between announcement and release? Asian news policies inside the airsoft industries are quite weird, at least for europeans, who are used to new products being shown as much as possible before release. We need moles inside Marushin... Link to post Share on other sites
zentaurus Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 asians value patience. and strive to save face. any misstep can only happen behind the scenes. plus, witholding bits, AFAIK, is a proven marketing tactic -- just as the gentler sex builds up anticipation, greed and lust with silence and bit of mystery as for the mole, let me check my assets, zT Link to post Share on other sites
esteves Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 It looks like the product is covered in the June issues of both of the Japanes language magazines: Combat and Arms (and there's a 2 page ad in Arms .) It also appears as though a version in 6mm will be offered. Still nothing on http://www.marushin-kk.co.jp/ though. Link to post Share on other sites

mhe Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 patience, grasshopper, is a main virtue of the true warrior zT <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, but this virtue will let me sleep only on my back until that gun is out... once I have it, my significant other will be very disappointed Are there any nice holsters similar to Blackhawk's SERPAs for the USG?

esteves Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Are there any nice holsters similar to Blackhawk's SERPAs for the USG? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have a Blackhawk Serpa. It fits all of my real-steel Five-seveNs including the USG. Link to post Share on other sites
mhe Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Nice... I didn't know they make one for the Five-seveN. But it's only one meant to be worn on a belt, I was actually looking for the tactical drop-leg version, which doesn't exist. Well, perhaps I can get a platform on its own and mount the holster on it.

mhe Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Click here <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nice one, thanks! I'll keep that one in mind... Esteves: could you check whether the holster could be mounted on one of the serpa drop-leg platforms? I.e. are the screwholes the same? Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I know everyone's kind of excited about the possibility of a TM 5-7 now, but Marushin's will be available in August (this year) in both 6mm and 8mm form. http://www.mojji.com/jp/fax/fax2130.htm Who knows when TM will finally get theirs into production. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I hope it's soon, so we can get started on the "wot AM bestest 5-7" threads. Link to post Share on other sites
mhe Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 "Sledge - adding insult to injury since... well... a long time" Really, waiting for this one is killing me. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Anyone else think the timeline of announcements from TM and Marushin will go like this? 2007: We're making a 5-7. 2008: It'll be out soon. 2009: Just a couple more months. 2010: Nearly there. 2011: Nyah! Just *fruitcage* with ya Link to post Share on other sites
mhe Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Possible. But with a little luck, KSC jumps in and does the right thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 What's the right thing? Forcing people to use Beretta 92fs until the appreciate attractive guns? Link to post Share on other sites
mhe Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Coming out with a decent Five-seveN themselves of course, grabbing precious market share and thereby bitchslapping TM and Marushin for making fanboys drown in their own drool for such a long time. Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 You've missed "2008 : Eastern Arms, the new Chinese manufacturer, releases full metal version with 300 round drum mag, produces 900fps on rocket fuel - Skirmishers rave at its realism and usable power" The more I think about a TM 5-7, the better I like the idea - Outside like a 1911 and insides like a Desert Eagle - Could be a great (probably be the opposite, though, and a bit so-so... ) Cheers.
