I wasn't able to attend Shotshow this year. But our friends at Spartan imports have sent a few pics over. They also sent a listing of new Spartan products, but no details yet.

CA M14EBR
CA L96 rifles
CA/Piper Precision Minigun
2 LWRC rifles
SG552 replica
HK PDW replica
HK416 replica in Proline and Sportline (plastic rails)
SVD
Railed AK
Electric Blowback M4’s

What has been said so far though:
M14 EBR - This EBR is lighter then the Clone EBR's. Use of lighter weight CNC Aluminum.
Minigun - Nice build, Heavy

That's all I got for details direct from them so far. More will come after the show.

NOTE: Not all pics in album are airsoft. It's Shotshow!

Thanks for the news and pics.

SVD and the EGLM on the scar look nice.

The light EBR is nothing new. there is a light clone EBR on the market already.

CA is nothing more than an overpriced clone manufacturer these days IMO.
Did they ever come up with something themselves?

I wouldn't be surprised if other clone factories built most of those AEG's for them.
They share a majority of parts already.
Cost effective I say.

Thanks for the news anyway.

But thanks

Would like to know more about that SVD other than that that yawning is contagious

[kodiak22]

i was hoping for a non custom IAR , look like they ( who ever made it) just want with their regular M4 variants.


Guess it would be a good starting point anyway, depending of the Manufacturer

They failed at the LWRC guns. Hopefully they actually get their act together on it and make a correct IAR.

What the hll did they do to this poor LMG? http://s182.photobucket.com/albums/x79/DIG..._6916Medium.jpg

For some reason that K PDW look quite nice, everything else is rather blah though.

[Bareknuckle]

Actually, I think the LWRC M6A2 is kinda of a cool development, even if it's not as cool as an IAR would be.

If i ever got an Armalite-style weapon, that would probably be it, except that I'm wary of owning a Classic Army gun these days.

*YAWN*

Nothing new, the SVD is kind of interesting but if it's a springer, why bother?

Well the CA/Piper minigun is sortof interesting, even if it's a gun none of us will ever buy.
SVD also sounds refreshing, though kinda redundant now that RS has one just around the corner.


Overall though, yes. *yawn*



Now that CA has its hands down Umarex' trousers and get to use the HK name, they should hurry up and release an MG4!
I'd really really really like an MG4!

[kodiak22]

originally i didn't like it, and thought there was something off about this airsoft M6A2( though i would love to have a real one, always have), and still just cant put my finger on it, but the more i look at it the more i like it .

[UrPeaceKeeper]

Actually, the EBR could be HUGE news for CA and G&G M14 owners. That is if it uses the G&G/CA Gearbox. If it does then there is the excitement for great performance and an EBR (that isnt a TM or clone). If thats the case then awesome, there is SOME inovation there.

[kodiak22]

i forgot to ask before, any one know whos making the LWRC's? i have a feeling that its Classic army( im hoping its not).

[uscmCorps]

If it was featured in the Spartan Imports booth, more than likely it'll be a CA product. Although... LWRC wasn't a licensing property that I was aware that CA had.

Looking at what a RS LWRC M6A2, the replica doesn't look too far off... just needs the correct accessories (A2 style Flashhider, Magpul Trigger Guard, Magpul CTR, Magpul MIAD, Troy BUIS). I'm surprised they didn't go to the effort to accessorize their M6A2 display piece in that fashion given that they went to the effort to get the LWRC logos on the receiver. I mean, they know that Airsofters can be Nazis about the accuracy of a piece. It would have been so easy and quick to avert the extra criticism by making those small changes.

Would be even better if they had the receivers stamped or engraved instead of just laser engraved. That way you could paint the gun in FDE like the optional coating LWRC offers and you get to keep those lovely trades.

[kodiak22]

yea it would be nice to paint one FDE, and would look more like it with the Accessories you said( except they come with Vltor stock now not CTRs)...... man kind or wish it wasnt CA

[RedScare]

heh, CA SVD with that horrible matte finish and im still waiting on the RS preorder... D:

What?
CA has never known that
