All most certainly, Nuprol tax and the airsoft shops who will have to add to the price to make their money. I wonder how much the magazines will be?Fair point as regards the Nuprol factor. Imagine the price will breech the £800 mark by the type they get their cut.
I have all ready seen a post on the Airsoft reddit lamenting the price (Obviously this for a Canadian shop but it may be a potential indictor for the UK when they are in the shops.)
With regard to the spare parts front LCT are normally fairly good on that point WGCshop carries a lot of spare parts both internal and external.
The slim motor is also an interesting development.
