Well there’s heaps going on at the moment so I’ll do my best to cover it all to get things back up to date on here.
Over at G&P they’ve launched what look to be copies of the older WA designed Desert Eagle GBB pistols. There’s a two tone long barrel version, a two tone short barrel version, and then a black short barrel and long barrel model. Each weighs in at around a kilo and is made from ABS plastic and uses a copy of the ‘WA Magna Gas Blowback’ valve mechanism. There’s no mention as to if it’s licensed or not, but seeing as they specifically mention WA’s name I’d hazard a guess that there’s some form of agreement there.
Tokyo Marui have updated their site with details of their electric M93r release (thanks go to Nuno for the heads up on that one). A straight translation of the text there gives the following half readable gobbledygook (sorry I’d tidy it up some more but I’m short on time at the moment):
Real profound impression from adoption of many metal parts
“Metal make die-cast” large number you adopt the principal part of the section, have reproduced model cancer/gun similar […], even with the electromotive cancer/gun. The response which comes with of gross weight 810g is intolerable!
Boosting charge of 1 hour cost only 1 Yen and give 350-500 shots!
It is source of all powers, “100 Yen lighter/writer” extent it points largely and serves and loading the 7.2V micro battery. Also “350 – 500 departure” are discharge possible with boosting charge of 1 hour. The connector excluded difficult installation and removal altogether, adopting “quick change system”. Taking in and out very simplicity. Gas unnecessary! Actualizing the high performance which during 1 year is stabilizedWith semi to full change, 15 shotsper seconds in automatic
Selector at levers 1 “single-engine running fire” instantaneously change possibility! ! The trigger just is pulled can discharge the BB bullet “of 15 departure to 1 seconds”.
* Note: Running fire speed changes with charge state.Efficiency every season of the year
It generates power for 18 years old and or more the discharges securely “with any environment! Operates the “electromotive gun” does not choose the time and the place through four seasons.
During patent several case applying (PAT.P)Variable hop-up system to achieve superior accuracy!
You stretch “the brass make inner barrel” of high accuracy and flying distance substantially, the “variable hop up system”. And with power above electromotive system designing and 18 years old of the ideal which locks firmly flying distance 50m over! The air software gun boundary highest efficiency which these fuse in the higher-order origin is shown.
* Note: Accuracy changes individual difference, with the weight of the BB bulletThe micro gear was loaded the “ultimate heart”
The high performance “micro mechanic BOX” which is crystal of technology was called the impossibility so far, “power for 18 years old or more” and high improvement of efficiency of “battery fuel economy” were actualized. You show the durable efficiency above electromotive cancer/gun rifle type equality and clearing the discharge test of “30,000 departure”! The long time research result is was proven “the mechanic” freely. (Tokyo Marui)
Marushin have also updated their pages with details of some revised products, including the black ABS 8mm GBB Automag, 8mm M1 Garand, and a silver version of their ‘Unlimited’ 8mm Revolver (you can find some more detailed shots of the older black version on this page here).
Also before I forget Gregor has added a new video online that you can find further detail to in the forums here. You should be able to find them in the skirmish section over at AATV.
There’s more to add as usual, but I’m getting there at least :)
