That's a translated link to the website. Looks pretty interesting. I'm not sure when it's coming out though.

Very nice piece. It looks well built even without the shell ejecting part. Hope they come out with more models.

What's the capacity of those mags?

And picking up all them shells after rattling off a mag is going to a PITA. But amazing gun.

6 rounds, and thats with a double stacked mag. How are they gonna fit any in a 1911 mag?

[DWells55]

Neat, would be great as a movie prop.

[Chris North]

Exciting model a long time.

I agree. I can't see the shells being cheap and the whole thing is probably going to be far from practical, but it's still one of the most interesting things I've seen. Hopefully it will work well and not cost a fortune.

WOW, airsoft is going backwards.

Shell ejecting was a big thing in 1990 and before and it got left behind in favor of skirmishability.

Now it comes back.

[Rob15]

Ooooooh, i'm going to be wanting one of those! Won't be much good for skirmishing though, plinking however

[snowman]

Stuntman's right, not exactly new, but nice to see.

Still if the future's AEPs, I'm all in favour of going back!

Seems Marushin is focussing on the collector/plinker market not the skirmishers, which is probably a smart move the way TM & KSC have that sewn up, not to mention the Taiwanese competition (and the Chinese will undoubtedly move in soon).

Obviously no use to skirmishers and why would movie props need the ability to fire a BB?

Plinkers delight though - Be interesting to see the 18C version in 6mm...


Cheers.

^WHS
AEPs had either get a LOT better with GOOD blowback and better performance or we better back this APC up and head to the 1990s and start over. Still the skirmishablity of of a shell based weapon in the sport of airsoft is weak at best. Indeed a plinkers delight as Snowman said. No ought to punish themselves into skirmishing with these and it is a little odd for a movie prop, but the shells are nice for that.

[vodkadave]

The shells thing is a nice idea but not practical. I've got a shell ejecting shotgun and can't really skirmish with it, unless you don't mind spending tons of money on replacement shells.

But it does look nice though!

[Korppi]

With the shells taking the space from the gas its one mag per refill if even that. I wish they would go back and tinker more with the caphybrids...I see that Tanaka released their pfc G18C so little movement on that area too, their not history yet.

[Rob15]

Caphybrids? I'm aware of a few airsoft guns that could fire pcf and bbs at the same time or separatly, problem with that in a pistol is there would be no room for a firing mech for the bbs.

[Korppi]

Yes, the one I have seen was a rifle and essentially a springer. But being crafty folk one can only dream what nicety they could dish if they would bother to, after all the springers were back in the early eighties.

My goodness...

This is pretty neat. Shame they didn’t come out with the 6mm version instead, but either way the 8mm is going to be awesome. I guess its wishful thinking that aftermarket manufactures will offer some type of support for this. MBK's, reinforced parts... all is welcome.

Implies there will be 6mm versions too, although I suppose they COULD just be GBBs...

Nice early style Glock 18C there too...

Wondered what was up with those 1911s, seems they're replicas of polymer framed Kimbers...

Cheers.

Oh I didn’t notice that.

Well hope for the best I guess.

The 18C is nice, but it appears they try to incorporate 2 different styles into one(?). I believe when they came out with the finger grooves, they dropped the extended barrel. Either way new Glock GBB's hitting the market is very exciting...

[Rec]

Yay! Now someone make a Glock 36 pleeze?

[AliceHKfan]

XD needs a Mateba Unica 6 If you wanna see a similar abit classic gun like these there is a video of a Marushin Cz75 on YouTube.

Edit: although the gas went in the gun for a larger mag cap iirc. and there is a review of a Colt 1911 one similar on the "old" Arnies database.

[Hispeed1]

"HW using wood frame" Wood? Nice concept with the shell ejection, but it would be a pain to go back and pick-up the spent shells after/during a gunfight.
