Sergio has emailed over the 2005 calendar for ClassicArmy which makes a handy PC wallpaper if you like that kind of thing. Speaking of ClassicArmy they have added a new MP5 A4 foregrip w/ 6v bulb for 9.6v 1700mAh to their webpages.
Over at Hartford they have a new model (T804) of their own of brand laser pointers called ‘BeamFord’ in stock (that sounds far too much like ‘Binford’ and reminds me of DIY accidents), a kit that makes a BeadFord laser look like a SureFire model and a new all silver SAA.45 model kit.
On StarAirsoft’s pages in Japan there’s some more details of their upcoming UMP AEG release. According to their text there their own UMP model is a direct scale copy based on measurements taken from the real firearm. The material used to build the UMP replica is a fibre reinforced ABS, save the rails and outerbarrel which are metal, the inner barrel is listed as a “precision barrel” and the magazines have a capacity of 110 rounds.
The new UMP is centred around a gearbox and motor from the Tokyo Marui G36C AEG, and as I read this they are not included which would point towards both the new Star UMP and M14 SOPMOD being kits, not AEGs. The UMP will be out for sale at the end of February for a price of around 36,000 Yen.
Ubar dropped me a line with some news that he received back from GB-Tech about their upcoming products this year. Planned for release this year is a new M60E3 which is due out in the next few months, a Minimi Mk2 later in the year, and their previously developed HK21 kit is due to be released as a full AEG some time in 2006.
Last but not least X-Fire have added a new bore up cylinder for the VSR-10 (I finally figured out what this ‘b-arrow’ logo meant.. so sue me I can be slow at times too) to their product lineup today. Priced at 6,860 Yen this accessory should performance upgrades on the VSR-10 that much easier.
