First time I see airsoftglobal get a chinese gun first
http://airsoftglobal.com/product_info.php?products_id=6711
At 110$, its the same price as the chrome version, wich most likely means gunner will have it for 95$.

wow is that gas gun looks brutal!

[Chris North]

Looks pretty awesome, but I think I prefer the silver version.

I wonder if this is going have the same problems with scratching as the other one did?

[gunnermaniac]

Wow, that looks amazing! Nice find.

It's nice, but I'm waiting for the chinese to make it in 6mm. There's no reason they should only copy models currently in production.

Then again, would releasing a 6mm version of this gun stump sales of the 8mm variety?

[screamin_weasel]

im waiting for 6mm too. i still dont understand why manufactureers insist on making them in 8mm before 6mm. i appreciate the fact of using 8mm rounds, but 99% of players use 6mm bb's for all their other guns, business sense says make this gun in 6mm for maximum sales.

Anyone know if the runners are of a higher quality than the old marushin version. I had to have a set made out of steel when I broke one of mine.

You may need the steel ones managed to break mine (in normal use only, no terminator cocking )

but about 50usd from UNCo.

I wonder if the action sounds any better on this new model. I've had two Marushin M500's, and I've held and fired the clone. The sound of the action pales in comparison to the original Marushin ones. Can anyone comment on why this is?

Found some cheaper replacement bars:

Deep Fire set for 34$

Anyone know wether it is possible to hackup the barrel to match the the ammo tube length? How about shortening the ammo tubei tself? How hard wouldthis be, considering you would have to change the inner barrel and Im not to keen on fiddling around the gas system?

[Hokus Pokus]

Great find, looks much better than the silver/chrome version.

The gas unit is quite seperate from the barrel. But I'm not sure about hacking the magazine tube.

If you want I can take some pictures when I'm installing the action arms, so you can judge for yourself?

Much appreciated if you could do that

If a fianlly grow some balls to do the chopping up, Ill go all the way and install a
pistol grip-upper rail-M4 stock adaptor kit from G&P. Together with the steel cocking bars (sounds like some bars you eat and your cock gets hard as steel?), new inner barrel and heatshield Im gonna turn a 95$ shottie into a 250$ one... please make 6mm version so I can actually play with it!!

[Rapier]

I dunno, personaly I WANT my 12g to use 8mm rounds. I seem to remember a Led Pockets mod that alowed it to fire 5 rounds instead of 3. 5 8mm rounds is a LOT like an actual buckshot blast. He'll charge it with red gas and it may even be usable in woodland play! Underbrush? What underbrush?
