Tm Mp5 NGRS on Horizon?

[Spartan873]

You all got it wrong.... it will come free with a packet of cornflakes.... but not just any cornflakes these will be Marui cornflakes ?

Don't open the box though.. you'll lose the flavour. ?

Outside of it being an MP5, i think this a big step forward - built in / new FCU, LIPO ready out the box. Thats 50% of what people do to most NGRS out the box.

Still got a three point sling and an old flat webbing loop ready to go 

Hopefully an aftermarket torch handguard will complete the look for me

Interesting.

Price seems to be 59,800 - £388, but then I guess there's all the usual fees, etc.

Basing that on this video at 36 min. No auto translate yet so I didn't get a lot else, but there was a lot of talk about the battery.

That could be tempting, waiting on a price for the akm first

 

[hitmanNo2]

The AKM has pretty much the same JP street price as the MP5 I believe so £500-£550 is likely over here.

Auto-translate now available on this, so I watched it again although it was a lot harder to follow this time. As best I can tell -

• Handguard mounts the same way as the real one.
  
• Will work with standard nimh batteries (looks like 8.4v mini).
  
• Marui are releasing their own Lipo, which will work with this but won't be available for another 6 months or so.
  
• There's some sort of proprietary connector in place that the lipo will plug into (but the MP5 comes with a converter as standard so you can use NIMH now and then the lipo later).
  
• Looks like the idea of the proprietary connector is safety so presumably it'll be directly monitoring cell voltage or something through the connector.
  
• The price we already knew - 59,800, which is exactly the same as the SCAR L (which seem to be around £430 - £460 over here depending on model/colour)

Finally a release date on this now the 18th of August in Japan will probably be in the UK end of August start of September

Also prices for the mags seems like it will be around the £30 a mag mark judging from the Eagle6 website

Hmmm this is way too temping…

 

[Johnyboy1976]

Pre ordered mine a while back - looking forward to getting it 

 

[JamesWills]

Camoraid seems to have the best price that I've seen £479 seems very reasonable 

 

[AlphaBear]

Same price as fire support. 
Expected mid to late Sept. 

 

[Cr0-Magnon]

Same price as fire support. 
Expected mid to late Sept. 

You getting one?

 

[Jacob Wright]

Same price as fire support. 
Expected mid to late Sept. 

Firesupport are actually cheaper; £459

Slightly longer wait for Firesupport

CAMOraids are saying a week after release

Firesupport are saying mid to late september

 

[AlphaBear]

You getting one?

More than likely yes..... although I'm happy to wait on some real reviews first...

You've got a few now, is it the recoil element which attracts you or Marui quality?

 

[SgtTalbert]

You've got a few now, is it the recoil element which attracts you or Marui quality?

For me its both, I like the build quality, the recoil, the out the box performance.

Ive had, AK102, CQBR, SCAR L, SCAR H, DELTA, AK47, MP7, really enjoyed them all. I've had plenty of other non TM brands which were great but I do like TM

 

[shadowfacex]

You've got a few now, is it the recoil element which attracts you or Marui quality?

I think it's a bit of everything. I have a KWA-made recoil system which has been excellent, but I love TM's approach to authenticity, in a form of bolt catch/release action, as well as cycling, which looks and sounds awesome. Most of the sound signature of any given rifle is produced by the cycling action of the bolt and to me, that makes all the difference.

Add in TM's legendary quality and support to the package and you have a weapon that is out-of-the-box ready for a skirmish.

That said, I was never a fan of MP5 (sue me ), however MP7 is a different talking point for an SMG. I might get one someday.
