ARES is my FAVORITE airsoft company by a mile! Second would be RS - but just becuase thye make very nice guns. Ares has the innovation and the guns I love - like the 2000. I have loved these since reading Rainbow six many many years ago.

It looks like one of those prototype finishes, before the paint. Like when original WE PDW footage came out.

Well Star, which Ares was making stuff for, isnt my favourite...their L1A1 was junk. But Ive loved the Wa2000 since reading about it in the R. Talsorian Compendium of Modern Firearms back in '89 biggrin.gif

My guess (and it is a guess) is that it will be CO2 in the magazine, similar to their DSR-1 and other sniper rifles. My DSR-1 is a dog. I have yet to get it to work correctly. I hope this one will be different, as I have ALWAYS wanted a WA-2000. Hopefully the scope will be included.

Its funny how coveted the wa2000 is, at least the Asahi one..

If you take one apart, you'll realize its just alum tubing and alum plates around the engine.

The engine... whew, took me awhile to figure out how they got all that together, but it is simple once to you break down what the different processes are. I won't dare hack the board to see what it is fully comprised of ( nor do I think the owner would appreciate that)

I wonder if Ares can copy the Asahi's Multi-stage process... That would be very interesting indeed.

im pretty sure they will just have regular gas sniper rifle guts in there with a simple Black(the video game) type shooting action.

if its similarly priced to the DSR1, its on my list, if not, ill keep saving for an asahi.

their performance issues are fixable though.

im just NOT enjoying the price of the CO2 mags that are available for the current models. $100, its *fruitcage* ridiculous.

EDIT: wow, i just looked at their coming soon page. apparently, they are shooting for semi auto blow back, running on CO2 or top gas. im having seccond thoughts about it though, its just another GBBR and they arent that usable for sniping. hopefully its not that heavy and i can use it for DM work.

That gun piques my interests as well. Looks like the Nemesis arms .308 suitcase gun

My friend Sal recently picked one up (Nemesis arms). I wonder if they will make theirs take down to that level as well. Or even supply a Suitcase.

Well, I've wanted one ever since The Living Daylights but I can't see myself buying from Ares.

I just think a gun should either perform well or have a reasonable price and the DSR-1 did neither.

Depending on the price, I believe I will have to pick one up. Asahi Wa2000DX already got, WA2000 in the works by Dobey, and soon a WA2000 by Ares? My wallet is going to kill me with all these Wa2k's, and it doesn't even know about the need to acquire a Geneth to complete the collection laugh.gif
