Check it out at Renegade Recon.

Excellent find. While all those pistols are major disappointments, that Type 89 is interesting, atleast its a NEW gun.

I'm quite intrigued about that full auto G18C, may have to give it a shot (haha, get it?).

Aw come on, it's a mini AEG, atleast with pistols you get the realism of gas blowback, if you buy that, you may as well buy a slingshot and bbs.

[Crandall]

the m4s system looks awesome. count me in on saving up and buying that.

[Vektor]

Well, looks like we, the pistoleros, have to shift to classics in the future. Marui´s definitely trying to kill gas pistols, like they killed gas rifles in the past.

Oh, a Glock 17 GBB? How unique and innovative! I just wish some other viable airsoft manufacturer would make a skirmish worthy SIG P226 GBB, so I wouldn´t have to buy one single Marui product any more...

looks like theres a dupe thread needs deleting over in general..  Gen II electric pistols that is awsome!  Give this line of tech another 3 years they will get the slide working too.  I herby call it the ENBB!

FUTURE THE NEXT!

[IronWolf]

wow the type 89 is a VERY pleasant surprise. Im also interested in the development of these aep's, its a step in the right direction imho

[TMC]

Type 89 and SIG P226 look good.

I hate SIR systems, so that's that out the way. Godamn... so damned bulky and ugly looking. Oh well, at least they changed the reciever colour so it is more realistic. Though... give me an CA, G&G or ICS M4 any day.

It will be interesting to see. but that M4 S looks like the reason for me to sell my M4 RIS

Its made for the Japanese market. Only wonder why TM didn't made one earlier becuase it gonna sell tons in Japan.

[enzo100]

y the heck do the japanese even begin to appreciate these guns. What we need is a European or American branch of TM that makes their own equipment. I'm sick of the Japanese deciding what guns WE get. I mean if it weren't for them the L85A1 would be more popular than the M4. AAAAAAAA. I have nothing but respect for the Japanse but they need to consider a wider market.

[IronWolf]

Do they? there's not much of a market in Europe and/ or America when compared to Japans, though as the market is growing in both territories im sure its only a matter of time till taking notice of outside markets becomes a viable option.

Il shut up now

[Catchv22]

TM doesn't seem to think they need a bigger market.  

[Tripod]

Enzo the type 89 is the Japanese defensive force's gun.  To ask why the Japanese like the Type 89 is as asinine as asking why the British like the L85 or why the American's like the Colts.

[Megalomaniac]

Wow I go camping, come back and the world has gone all crazy! So let me get this straight Marui are realesing an electric pistol that has an effective range of 50 meters, is full auto, and is going to cost around $150. Also that M4 with a SIR system sure looks spiffy but I'd rather buy two 18c ENBBs for the same price.

[oikoik]

obviously not made by TM but i was sure i'd seen a Type 89 airsoft gun in Japan already. i recall a feature in combat magazine, comparing the real one to the airsoft one.. along with comparisons of japanese gear, new and old.

yeah, to make the 89 now is a bit odd - i dont know if it will be that popular even in japan, since very few people seem to be able to kit out in japanese uniform [current issue gear is either very hard to get hold of or is very expensive] - otoh they play airsoft differently to us [alot of us go milsim and do 'impressions' - not many in japan do, i think]..so this may or may not be an issue.

Indeed.


Cant argue on personal opinion anyway, I think it looks kinda neat.
