FarEast Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Ok I've had to keep these images underwraps for sometime now....3 months to be exact b ut I can now show you what one of the most anticipated releases fro China in 2008 will be. Right now I can't say which company is manufacturing this but as you can see from the images it's a metal body rather than the plastic used on the WA it uses from what i know pot metal.

CrazyJ Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 but does it copy the Magna blowback system too? Or is it just a gas operated M4? I have no idea what I am seeing in the pictures since I dont know what the inside of a WA looks like anyway Link to post Share on other sites
poison123 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Well guess I'm not wasting money on the WA now Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'm sorry, but I can't see the pot metal holding up terribly well, if it's like most Chinese pot metal. Link to post Share on other sites
The Icon Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 This is a joke no? The Icon is very perplexed at this news and takes it with a bit of salt; otherwise he now has to debate on getting this or saving up for WA, as he has had a bad past on chinese made replicas.

masakarijoe Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 what is with people and 3rd person speak? the badger and now the icon? thats trash. stop that *beep*. ANYWAY. clone m4. are the mags going to be the same? think they will hold up with the cooldown? the only problem witha GBB rifle is in the cold, is isnt as useful as an AEG -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
billytehbob Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 S**T! The WA M4 has been just released and theres already a clone?!?! Do they have those workers working triple time?? Link to post Share on other sites
monkey530 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Man you weren't kidding. How the hell did they clone this if the WA was just released? Scary, the power of Chinese manufacturers. There has to be a reason that WA went with non-metal bodies. Well, I am going to wait and see how this goes. I still want someone to someone to compare it to SP and mod it to take an external unit and HPA. Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Personally, I would rather this (and the WA) had stored the gas in the stock tube and then worked off normal AEG mags. However, for the sake of authenticity, I can see how this all works out. Surely it can't be Celsius making this cos, ummm, this is gonna steal 95% of the Celcius PTWs market. And Systemas. About the only people who might make money out of this are WA. If the pot-metal receiver falls apart, they'll be selling replacements to people who buy this. Link to post Share on other sites
fiddlesticks4220 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 ok im ###### i just ordered a wa m4 and read this its cool mum i am gonna take a happy pill real fast Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 yes. for $0.12 per hour thats why, and how. i dont really like how they do it... soon japan and taiwan will have nothing on them, and we'll be screwed with chinese ###### -joe Link to post Share on other sites
Glenn Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Wow. Cost/quality will be interesting to see. Link to post Share on other sites
AustinWolv Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Be interesting to see what they charge for mags versus WA. Link to post Share on other sites
poison123 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'd guess 350-400 for the rifle, and 50-60 for the mags. Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Wow...thats unbelievable. I really hope they refine the metal that the gun is made out of otherwise i can see that thing breaking. I wonder what the price point will be. Is this actually a clone of the WA gun or an independently developed rifle? How in the holy hell could they have ALREADY cloned the darned thing? I cant imagine WA just gives away prototypes of their products. Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 As usual, I'd also like to offer my condolences to all the new WA M4 owners who, until recently, might have told me I was being selfish to complain that chinese clones undermined the value and exclusivity of my M14 EBR, L85 or the PTW. Funny how chinese clones are all good until you find yourself blowing a bunch of cash on something that will be available for a quarter of the price a couple of months later isn't it? Enjoy.

darryl zero Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 All I can say is dang. Quality will probably be ###### and the mags will leak like mad but... Dang. Link to post Share on other sites
transist Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I love how people in the WA M4 thread were joking about a Chinese clone of it. GUESS WHAT BITCHES Link to post Share on other sites
poison123 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Well I for one am canceling my WA order. The prospect of spending less for something that probably will be comparable is just too much to shrug at. Link to post Share on other sites
juicymeat Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 This is about as amazing as it is hilarious, how the hell did they clone it so fast, I might even think about picking one up for plinking to compliment my exisisting gas rifles. Link to post Share on other sites
The Badger Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Holy Hell, The Badger did NOT see this coming (not that his foresight has ever been particularly accurate *reminisces about the Clinton sniper incident*) Also, Icon, where do you get off with the third person thing! Thats The Badgers! although he may be willing to share it.... make himself an intellectual army of pronoun spewing minions.... Link to post Share on other sites
[FR] bob63 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 This is a joke, the photos are those of the Tanio Koba M4. http://www.arms-cool.net/forum/viewthread.php?tid=520 Link to post Share on other sites
The Badger Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hmm, that would explain it *cocks head in Clinton's direction* *BOOM* Link to post Share on other sites
Glenn Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I figured FarEast wouldn't be so enthusiastic about a clone... good catch. Link to post Share on other sites
