On airsoft-news.eu Classic Army has a poster of a G36C with "blowback system" and "realistic bolt catch and 8mm bearings" So we have an EBB G36C and finally with a working bolt catch.

look's like a somewhat cool gun/ But im sure we will see more models.

I have a feeling the new CYMA G36 will be identical. That actually is odd though for CYMA to copy CA.

or the Cyma could be a copy of the KWA.. Until someone gets their hands on one we won't know.

Everyone's jumping on the blowback wagon now!
I doubt any gun will be able to match the quality of the original Tokyo Marui guns with the recoil engines though. I sure do hope not!

The CA guns are surprisingly nice when it comes to blowback.

They're not as feature rich as the TM's but they still offer a very enjoyable shooting experience which is what it is all about.

I don't think CA AEGs have "blowback".

Some of their new M4s have faux bolt cycling, but it's not technically blowback because an insignificant amount of movement along the long axis of the gun is produced. And CA's design is pretty backwards and unimaginative, from what I can tell, seems to go back to direct piston-faux-bolt linkage. G&G's pneumatic cycle system is much better, if only because the faux bolt always returns to battery regardless of piston position.

In the end, TM AEGs are the only ones with a proper electric blowback system right now.

Hopefully they will make this right and have the charging handle reciprocate as well as the "bolt" plate. But given CA's quality of late and their love of half-donkeying everything, I'm not holding my breath.

[jond36]

They won't because they can't. Marui got it patented. I do think the bolt's blowback looks the most weird on the TM M4/Socom models.

Edit: OPPS! Sorry that was a response to BillyWU on the TM models

Gotta tell you the CYMA actually does give a bit of noticable recoil. Not as much as TMs, but some.

agreed, and not linked to the damn piston!

What does:

"Body, Handguard and Stock are in ONE Piece individually"

mean? Is this something special?

I'm guessing that the each part was made as one, not several parts glued together afterwards

Just the normal CA "chinglish" writing. It doesn't mean anything. This note doesn't surprise me as it's a normal CA type notes.

[aaron2310]

I'd love to be excited but it's Classic Army and it's not a GBB. I'd love a G36C GBB.

[Mental Medic]

I think what they mean is that those body parts are one piece injection molded parts. As in the body, handguard and stock aren't two halves put together anymore.

[Abelius]

I'm actually pretty tempted. Seeing as the newer CA internals are pretty nice, one would get at least a decent performer just by changing the still seemingly whiny motor. It's also a good thing if they have improved their plastics, as I have absolutely no confidence in the current ###### that's used on CA36 guns.

[Silent_Assassin]

Do we know what kind of price range this new EBB will fall into?

Josh

[thartwig]

probably $300+

[Silent_Assassin]

Well thats ok I suppose, and a EBB is better suited to colder climates. I'm just hoping that it actually gives it some kind of kick rather then just vibrate
