As the title says the Socom Gear M107 is now available for preorder on Redwolf, However it will set you back $750.

Yay, more ver.2 "godness"!.

NOT needed.

I disagree.

Although it is fairly expensive, we do need more Barrett goodness.

Barrett yes, AEG no

Electric .50 cal snipers make kittens cry

[pforcerecon]

Very nice find indeed..even though the price is hefty there, at least its a lot better than that of the VFC gas version

[Hispeed1]

Wa0! That just made my wish/to-buy list!

[Xeno-Morpheus]

I'd like to see a china clone CO2 or "Black gas" version of the M82A1. Preferably one that works properly

Should have at least used 8 mm BBs for this gun and not regular 6 mm...

6mm would make it alot more site and user freindly in the UK

[Angry]

AEG?! Pah.

It needs to be 8mm, fire a CO2 bulb with every shot and then eject the bulb like a spent case.

[bjorn]

I have nothing against AEG SA Barret but ver.2 gearbox? Come on ppl! Also, I bet it features M16 style hopup chamber too. That would be a laugh.

[Mike_West]

Once again, who makes that V2 CO2 gearbox? Madbull?

[Jonny]

Ha excellent! hopefully my MadBull M470 C02 mechbox fits into nicely

[elrey]

Hey guys, check out my .50 cal!

*whiiiir ratatatatata*

AEG?! Pah.

It needs to be 8mm, fire a CO2 bulb with every shot and then eject the bulb like a spent case.

That would be awesome. Even more so if you direct 2% of the gas forward for propulsion, and the rest back for massive blowback.

The end is nigh, call of duty crying tweens will now exist in airsoft. I can hear, "MOOOOOOM where my *fruitcage* chocolate milk" already.

[Versus]

At $750? Where the *fruitcage* do you live in the US? The state of Bizarroland?

We won't see these in the hands of tweens, rest assured.

[smelsonlaflin]

Yeah, this AEG sniper weakness is bothersome. I was let down by the Real Sword Dragunov too. $750 is still the cheapest Barret ive seen nonetheless, so i suppose thats nice.

[aznriptide859]

And probably cheaper even if you ask it to be custom made. Will probably be getting one, unless something else tells me otherwise, like my dying wallet.

[Shinden]

Been awhile guys, I've been out for long.

Anyways right now the AEG market is still widely used, but wait for a bit as the Barret series will bring out much more exciting versions. This is just the first limited run so afterwards things will be different for sure.

Then again regarding young teens playing COD4 buying Barrets, that has happened before COD4 came out, but if there are clones of the Barret then yes, that's going to happen, but all that weight and size isn't going to make them better players.

I think this is something I will be watching with great interest, I've always been a fan of the barrett rifles but unfortunately with previous variants ive either not had the money or was unaware of them until discontinued.

So when I saw the socom gear M107 advertised I was intrigued but also somewhat suspicious, the first problem for me is that im unfamiliar with the company behind it so I've no idea what their build quality is usually like (some of you may be able to advise me here).

The second possible problem is the price, I feel I should be happy about it but an airsoft barrett costing $750 when all previous models and kits have been around $1200-$1600, but again it makes me wonder what the quality will be like as generally in life you get what you pay for.

For example the Top m60 I bought for approx £500 ($700) was riddled with faults in design and build quality however the Inokatsu m60 i now own cost £1200 ($1600) is by far one of the most awesome peices of kit i've ever laid eyes upon.

So in short i think i shall hold onto my money until there's some sort of review and then if they seem good wait for the m82a1 which they're also allegedly going to produce.
