CAW (Craft Apple Works) Japan. Has officially posted on their website, the ability for Japanese customers to reserve their M134 Minigun. Price in Japan is ￥300,000, but the site states that is not a firm price.

This is probably the rumored Echo1 M134 as reported by Airsoft-news.eu, and makes sense for the relation of PHX/Jag Precision/Echo1 - CAW's Grenade Launcher and Shotgun line.

Edit: link fixed?

They have one of those on Evike for $4,000 US dollars? I think Redwolf has a video of it shooting as well.

[Edmiles]

Ouch. If it does come out at that price, it won't do any better than any of the other M134's out there.

We need a chinasoft version!

You're thinking of the creation one.

I spotted the news of this on airsoft-news.eu but there's abosultely no details other that "it's electric" and "costs a lot but not as much as others" to get excited about. If I remember correctly Echo1 are the ones behind CAW making it in the first place. Hopefully CAW will release some more details of it soon and it doesn't just turn out to be a naff body shell kit of some description - I'm pretty sure I heard something about it firing down the barrels properly but we'll have to see.

WooHoo for a most likly full plastic M134!

[monkey530]

Yeah, thats what it looked like on the youtube video E1 released about it a while back.

oh noes, the link doesnt work

oh noes, the link doesnt work

Fixed. That last "l" on .html always comes in handy.

So that's about £1500 then? (at the moment)

[Beilmann]

Still kind of freaky price and size

[davecymru]

no no no no no no no no no.....

After seeing the creation one at Redwolf for <cough>lots of money</cough> I promised myself if i could get a working M134 for less than 1,500 i would.

This may go badly on my bank balance

For pure poop in the pants morale busting, nothing beats the 134. All you need is a leather jacket, shades and an ammo *badgeress* to go with it. Hopefully, it won't be the 40+ lbs the Asahi one is.

Makes me want to rig up a gun mount on a jeep and go blasting through the woods at the next game.

[apmaman]

Just a heads up that the CAW minigun is now for sale on Zeroone. For a small price of £4000

I'd link but its Zeroone and it never works. However, looking at the gun it seems to me that its just the Echo1 minigun which can be picked up for £2500.

Whats the point in this one then?


Also they have the "long" barrel set for sale too.

...with a world wide recession on is it really that good an idea business wise to spend the money to bring in even one of these which will probably sit in stock for months on end when they could have spent it on something that's more likely to be bought by customers?

[snorkelman]

in a world wide recession theres always some folks still got money to burn

[RSM]

Think I could sell some common sense to them?

[CKinnerley]

What are they actually thinking over there? I mean who seriously goes "hmm... everyone's totally skint right now and ACM guns are flying off the shelves like no one's business... I've got it! Get in some stock of £4000 mini-guns!". Tools....

[Sherlock]

They managed to sell guns to people without club registration so selling one in a recession shouldn't be hard either.

[tome]

Sadly the recession only really hits hard those that aren't loaded. If you're filthy rich the recession will be but a blip in your cash flow You might be a little out of pocket but you'd still be loaded. If you had 4000 quid to spare for a toy in the first place you stand a fair chance on having it to spare despite everything.

Now where's that lottery ticket.
