Magpul PTS brought a working prototype of the Magpul PTS PDR airsoft rifle. This ultra-compact CQB rifle is seriously one of the coolest designs I’ve ever seen. The Magpul PDR was a project that never saw production, but Magpul PTS has greenlighted the PDR project. The first model seen here is the PDR-C. Our facebook page will have photos and other coverage from the Show, so check back for photo posts and write-ups later this evening.

MINE.

I think Magpul have missed the point.

If it never saw production then it's simply a fantasy/fictional class weapon. Airsofters, on the whole (or very very largely) are interested in replicas of real steel. After many years in skirmishing and Milsim and having owned countless AEG/ GBB weapons, I have seen only a very tiny number of fantasy weapons (e.g. from scifi movies) being sought, traded or manufactured.

I think it's likely to be viewed as a curiosity at best.

You'll be fairly unique holding that fantasy/fictional AEG. I hope I don't ever seen it on the Milsim field!

WHY OH WHY OH WHY IS IT ANY AEG!!!!

Ive been waiting for this to be released for some time but AEG. Just dull.

I was looking for a rather unique looking gun for CQB in the near future and I kinda narrowed it down to two guns: KWA KRISS & Magpul PTS PDR. And to be fair: KWA KRISS >>>>>>>> Magpul PTS PDR ...

I guess I should throw away my KAC PDW replica then huh?

[Agent Hunk]

DO WANT.

I was afraid they dropped it.

[DangerWerx]

Honestly,

With Magpul's clout, I do no see how even a limited run won't sell.

- Stanag compatibility
- AEG
- Bullpup
- Ergonomics.

I would have loved to have seen a Keltec RFB, but this will do just nicely.

[ultimentra]

Can't wait! I need this for my GITS loadout.

Prototype is the word I think you're looking for.

Not everyone is into milsim, infact I'd say a fair portion of players aren't that concerned about having very realistic loadouts, plus it's a seriously nice looking gun.

If I was after any more AEGs that'd be at the top of my list, yum!

[Dreamer777]

...Man, i was going to dicth airsoft to go into more of a realsteal market but this..
God, save my intrest and wallet.

[aznriptide859]

Very curious how they did the gearbox in such a small space. And the battery for that matter.

[talon_0315]

That's because I'm a purty flower snowflake, running around in my USMC kit inspired from Battlefield 3, playing background music from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex in my head, calling my hits and taking objectives like a boss.

Edit: And I'm also curious how they'll fit a battery in there.

If they manage to find a way to GBB that system, yeah, that'd be also awesome too. XD

From Airsoft Action's FB page:

"10.5" barrel, fully ambidextrous (charging handle, mag release and ejection port!).

Two-stage trigger (no more selector switches) - first stage is semi and full pull is full auto.

Can use P mag or any AR15 mag and takes a 7.4 or 11.1, 1,000MaH battery in the pistol grip plus has a 9" upper rail.

Although it utilises a proprietory gearbox, it uses standard high wear parts such as the piston and gears."

[aznriptide859]

Pistol grip? Is this going to have a similar battery setup as the RS Type 97?

Wonder what the switch assembly is too, this thing just begs an AWS Raptor.

[adadqgg]

This is very realistic as AEG.

Because there is no realsteel(yet?); it can be said that the real one would sound like a sewing machine and have variable ROF based on what battery is used.

Sooner or later; realsteel world will catch on...and we will have futuristic bullpups for all and maybe even mech suits.

Think about the propmakers for TV series! They got a new futuristic rifle and they don't have to carve one from a bubble bath bottle, wood scraps and a super soaker!

[bulmedius]

WHERE ARE MY G36 PMAAAAGSS

WHERE ARE MY G36 PMAAAAGSS

There's a final production sample at the show. They will be commonly available within the next couple of months.

They need an actually decent TV sci-fi series first. XD

As far as I remember; Battlestar Galactica already ended.

[Bando]

actually this is fairly clever as its cheaper to produce and test the design from an airsoft pov then it would be to see if "real" soldiers find it comfortable.
