MadBull's Facebook Is now proudly flying this Image:




The details are that Kel tec have apparently agreed that madbull can make an airsoft KSG... and they're Claiming it will have a $100 price point.

To me the low price would suggest maybe this wont be the revolutionary skirmishable shotgun I've wanted for years but new stuff is good right?

[1st Commando]

good to see new models coming out, even if it is one that I personally wouldn't want

[Megalomaniac]

I'm in, hopefully it is designed the like the old school TMs but instead can hold two shells and switch between feeds, as that would make this the most usable Tri-Shot on the market.

[Leon Kennedy]

MW3 made me love this gun, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

[Horsem4n]

id still pick it up if it was a tri shot. its just too cool imo.

[Horsem4n]

a wild slowphone appears...

At only $100 I'm afraid this will be a CA870 in disguise. Think about it, they need to pay royalty to Kel Tec, cover R&D for a completely new gun, manufacture/distribute it and still manage to make a profit. Only way they could pull that off is use the simplest mechanism available or use compressed bananas for building material.

Case in point: (Madbull) Socom Gear PMR-30.

Well...here's couple of possibilities.
1) It's made of POS material...unlikely
2) It is a conversion stock for a existing shotgun
3) It's missing a 0 at the end of the price tag

[Isamu]

If the made it with the TM trishot system I wil take two, if it is a gas shotgun... well, I will admire pics of future owners and will keep waiting for a TM clone made of metal and wood

Anyway, this will sell

[renegadecow]

If the made it with the TM trishot system

If they don't I'm quite sure many will pick them up all the same and stuff them with the TM tri-shot system.

[aznriptide859]

And knowing Madbull...they're going to *fruitcage* it up somehow.

I'm sorry but I really wish RS manufacturers would stop partnering with the stupidest airsoft companies. It angers me SO much that Madbull have licensing for SO many RS companies now, yet the products they churn out are no better than the ###### they sold several years ago. I'm happy for companies like KAC and Izhmash who want to enter the airsoft market on their own accord. But Spike's Tactical? PWS? Gemtech? Troy? Kel-Tec? RIFLE *fruitcage* DYNAMICS? I'm sorry but someone in those companies seriously did not do their research.

IMO it will take a LOT of effort for Madbull to impress me before I seriously give even a minute chance of buying their stuff.

[Ballistic Tsunami Airsoft]

I wouldn't mind paying 150USD if it were decent. This is one sexy shotty.

[CKinnerley]

Fully agree with azn.

I'd much rather they said "it'll cost $400 but have all these cool features". The RS just seems far too complex for them to be able to smash out a half decent replica at that price point.

$150-200 maybe, $400 is a bit much for a gun that -lets be honest- most of us will use for 45-90 minutes at the start of the day or in pistol and shotgun only games then switch back to our AEGs.

However I'm inclined at the moment to believe that the $100 figure is bad news very much along the lines of renegade cow's suggestions, and this thing will end up being a bit Barry White much like madbull's PMR15.

[teflon don]

lets hope that madbull doesn't have the exclusive rights to build that gun µ
otherwise that would close the door for someone to build a high quality keltec
i was hoping on a shell ejecting keltec, like those tanaka ones where the gas is in the shell but i guess i will have to wait a bit longer

[FTZ-WildeCard]

Still very interested to see what comes up - can't be any worse than the usual Double Eagle offerings.

[NeoVeNoM]

something new from madbull, but what happened with all the other stuff they promised us?
they do churn out one rail after the other which has minor differences.
but no AR57?

[LightningLion]

Well... Madbul is good at making handguars and some other CNC stuff, but sucks at making guns.
Socom Gear latest releases:
-Rebranded KJW 1911 for the Les Baer custom.
-Rebranded? MK1 pistol for the Gemtech Oasis. (I remember seing the MK1 pistol for 40$ or so by some chinese manufacturer and shoting at same FPS. They cpuld easily change the barrel, paint and up the price)
-Socom Gear PMR-30... Uber *suitcase*. High FPS, *suitcasey* AEP mags and CO2 cartridges in the grip... Also low recoil with a slide that only moves like 1 or 2 inches...


So, considering Double eagle shotguns costs like 65$ without paying licenses... I doubt this would be a good shotgun.
But I pray for some other manufacturer cloning it (and making a shell ejecting model PLEASE!)

[aznriptide859]

The Oasis was most definitely a KJW Ruger Mk1 base, with an added "silencer" bit up front.

[intinerious]

Well... Madbul is good at making handguars and some other CNC stuff, but sucks at making guns.

But their CNC RIS's are all off-spec, no?
