Airsoft Collector dropped me a line about an article that was in the August issue of Gun concerning the new upcoming KSC GBBs. I’ll paraphraze as he asked me to tidy up the translation a bit.
How they choose the models they are willing to release? KSC just asked Japanese customers through their website, the first three pistols were the M1911, SIG P226 rail and full size HK USP.
The 1911 is working already, the R&D stage is finished and they are under testing. There’s no new system in it instead it uses the same blowback mech as the SW945.
The P226 and USP are still at the R&D stage, with only the external moulding having been done.They dont know yet if they will fit a new GBB system inside or not.
KSC knows that there will be a big competition with other makers, with the 1911 WA and up and coming Marui version announced for this Summer. With the Marui P226, and Tanaka P226 they’ll try to make their model cheaper. The same goes for their upcoming USP given the already existing Tanaka and Tanio Koba versions.
