The story you are about to hear is based on actual events, the names have been changed to protect the innocent… I got to have a chat with some folks just back from visiting Classic Army this month and was able to ask a few questions about what’s they’ve been up to of late.
The CA M249 is indeed in the works still with them. The CA release will use a TM compatible gearbox, so should be pleasing to anyone after a 249 that’s more than an expensive paperweight in stock form. Several varient prototypes are in the works, and the line is due for release in the first half of 2005.
The G36 line is going to be expanded with a scope/handle version coming to light shortly. It’s unknown if it’s the G36/KE/K varient at the moment. There’s a mystery new AEG lined up for next year sometime, but as it’s still in development at the moment and not near completition they are cagey about details being released for the moment… so you’ll just have to guess as to what it is.
