Im not interested in the Seburo rifles, neither for its looks norfor its fan interest, but I appreciate JG (and hopefully other manufacturers) doing new, not so popular stuff.

Today, a fugly gun you dont know which end to hold, tomorrow, that one fugly gun only you love.

I like futuristic looking rifles, but theres so much going on with this rifle, so much that looks surplus to requirements, that it just looks a mess or like a childrens cheap toy.

It would have been a lot more profitable for JG had they invested in creating something like a TAVOR....

I'd certainly prefer the bullpup MN23, but hey, props to JG for trying something.. different.

Dude... I love Ghost in Shell, but I can't see buying one of those. It's one thing to watch anime when you're feelign insomniatic, it's another thing to try and play anime with toy guns...

why is it the consumer thinks hes the only consumer ..diversifying into anime and scifi guns would open up a seperate market for the manufacs willing to do so (ie big fish in small pond rather than one of hundred fish in an ocean of airsoft guns) given that market seems to be dominated by high price non functioning resin casts etc they might get a bit of interest..

I second that.

Let's not forget that airsoft comes to us from the same great nation who brought us anime. While this gun might not be at the top (or even bottom) of everyone's wish list, we should be supporting JG for it. Not condemning them or poking fun at them. Like JLS with the FN2000, it's seems like it's the Chinese "clone" companies that are the only ones taking all the risks here as all I've seen from the major companies are a bazillion washed-up rel-releases of M16 variants and SCARs. Or, they take the other route and produce LMGs priced so far out of reach, price wise, you'd need to hock a kidney to consider one.

JG are my favourite clone company, I like most of their stuff but lets not get ahead of ourselves here, it's hardly a gun no one's made before; it is after all, just an M4 covered in cr*p.

I'd have to agree with NAM and snorkel here- fair do's to JG for doing something different, and hey, in JP/asia, I'm sure it will be a success.

and frankly, wouldn't it be nice, on occasion, for airsoft to be something other than just dressing up in combats and running round playing soldiers?

Sci Fi airsoft would open huge avenues for the sport (not least in terms of its respectability in the eyes of Joe Public...)

Hmm, I wonder if JG would be interested in making an airsoft DC-15A..

never watched GITS (in fact im not much of an anime person, only liked one anime series that i've seen so far), but i've always thought these seburo rifles and stuff look very comfortable to hold.

Ahhh....ok, fair points. And Snorkelman, I stand corrected.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see more Sci Fi rifles!! Space Marine Storm Bolters, StarCraft Terran Marine Cannons, Gears of War, HALO....my god, the list is endless, and I'd probably bankrupt myself trying to buy them all. In addition I'd love to see more Sci Fi themed games, maybe like Aliens, with people dressed as aliens etc....ultra cool.

But, back to reality, most of the companies that own the I.Ps for these weapons wouldn't allow them to be used probably.....sad.gif Oh well, back to my M4

Or at least a Sterling to be used as a foundation for one.
