I have wanted a MTAR-21 since I got into airsoft. Here's hoping the Chinese get their fingers on this and make an affordable clone.

EDIT:

Just got done watching the video... Jumping Jesus on a po-go stick! That is gorgeous, they even incorporated both the built in RD and laser.

According to google that 815 dollars. F that. Innovation is fine but wow.

[Weirdguy]

I'll take 5

[Horsem4n]

*suitcase*, that is expensive. maybe the brunt of the cost is the sight?

800 bucks!?!?!?!

That is quite expensive... Hopefully the price will decrease by the time of release.

[Shriven]

Hopefully, cos I need a Tavor in my life!

[ThaFlash]

I know someone who will be none too pleased about this.

Looks good though... for a bullpup.

you mean TSI?

well I guess the price is high maybe because of the reddot sight with built in laser. If it's close to the real thing, 850 USD is a bargain.
if the reddot is actually poorly made, then, yes it's too expensive.
We all know that superb electronic sights easily cost 300-500 USD, and those aren't the most expensive ones.

Still need more info.
Performance?
type of battery used?
which magazines will it take? (obviously stanag, but then again,not every stanag is the same in airsoft)

Given STAR/ARES past track record on Red Dots, I'm not holding my breath.

[DesertFoxRomel]

ARES is made in Japan, right? Japanese red dots for real steel are great, but not worth $400+ great. Battle proven brands such as Trijicon, Aimpoint, and so on can charge arm and leg for their tactical dots because 1. They are mil spec 2. Battle proven and adopted, 3. every grunt and civi wants one. ARES, a unproven, CLONE optic/ AEG company, can never charge that much for a CLONE dot and justify it.

The most expensive red dot or rifle scope for real guns made in Japan are around $100-$300 range.

Uhm, I believe Ares is made in Taiwan, not sure though...

[Horsem4n]

yeah, ARES is Taiwan.

as far as TSI being angry at ARES, they are fully aware that ARES is developing this gun, but TSI is going to be much different. TSI is doing to the Tavor what RS did to the type 97 and 56.

TSI also promised to sell theirs at 500.

[rws591]

Is UFC in Japan? Because if it is the gun is going to cost way more there, than any other country.

[Mikhailthejackal]

I dont care if i have to put my kidneys on e-bay im getting one!!!!

*Sigh*

Fail.

Ben.

[renegadecow]

Oooh, what if WE steals it and a GBB version comes out?
I think that would make the price mildly more reasonable.
