Just spotted this while on AD:

KSC HK33K

KSC are finally accepting pre-orders for their HK33K AEG which has been rumoured since 2003!! They plan to release it on the 19th of July in Japan. RRP for the gun is 42,800JPY, spare 75rounds standard mags 3,200JPY, and 8.4v 600mah batteries 4,300JPY.

Maha... I've nearly forgotten that ... hope we see a GBB MP7A1 soon after KSC finally has finished their first AEG.

Interesting.

I wonder how it is going to compare with TM style guns.

[Cinder]

I'd like to see how the charging handle mechinism works.

[BakaBox]

It's Japanese, meaning it's pretty much plastic only. $385 seems rather expensive.

[Ubar]

expensive, but maybe it will be cheaper in HK, really want one though

[DarkLite]

Meh.

GBB Mp7.

NOW.

Endoshoji is accepting preorders and has some info on it here.

Anyone know how this "two way" air system works?

[Pyro]

Why the *fruitcage* would KSC wanna make an AEG, when the could
much more easily make a GBB version. PAH!

And what is this two way air systen that you talk about?

[Ubar]

Probably to do with the manual cocking system they have. If your barry dies you can use it like a springer (apparently)

[Pyro]

Oh i remember reading that somewhere like a hundred years ago.
hmmm.....................

[BakaBox]

GBB version of the HK33 would be great...

[Pyro]

But alas, our pleas are not heard by those greedy money-eating
manufacturers

[Magsz]

435 dollars for a plastic rifle?

No freakin thanks.

If this thing goes the way of their pistols, I'll wait for the KWA metal upper reciever version.

[Boba_Fett]

Anybody be cool.... KSC is 3240g the CA 33 is just 2800g, the TM MC51 is just 2500g. So just let´s wait and see how much metall they will use with this gun.

According to the flash video of the weapon it looks as if this one uses the same "pre-loading" technic as the PSG1 does what means faster response when pulling the trigger and in combination with the cocking handle will solve the jaming problem. Looks interesting.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Haha, good point

IIRC, it's actually ILLEGAL for Japanese manufacturers to produce full metal guns. Not sure how much metal they're allowed tho...

[DarkLite]

The gearbox looks suspiciously similar to the TM PSG1 gearbox...

Definately sounds interesting, looking forward to see how it turns out I dunno why people are being so cynical when they dont know much about it yet.
