    Off topic: There's a house on right move thats around the £5m mark in the Cotswolds (which i view every Tuesday and Friday, which are the same days as the euromillions, but by no way is that related).
     
    You would think for something that expensive you would get a professional in, who can dress the house. No, ok, a decent consumer camera and a tripod?No, how about at least holding your phone level to take some pictures specifically for the listing? Ok, you're going with whatever you have on your phone at the time.

    I've always compared airsoft R&D to cars.
     
    People always say "I would love a v8, with a manual gear box, RWD and being built by a British manufacturer."
     
    Then a company goes out and drops millions on R&D and makes one, and sells a grand total of 17. Meanwhile all the people who said they wanted one goes out and buys a VW Golf.
     
    Everyone says they want a tavor, or a some weird 80's gun used by JCVD in a movie that was only shown on Air Canada flights. But when DE released the Noveske which is another m4 in a fancy frock- people climbed over themselves to get one.

    Competition helps.
     
    VFC, GHK and WE were pretty much the only GBBR's in modern form for a good while. They could dictate what was good enough to get by. Then TM comes along and plants it's flag in the ground, and became the yard stick.
     
    Other companies seeing what happened with the release of the VSR10 and Hi capa (i.e. pretty much making every other design in that product space obsolete overnight) have to step up. VFC come out with the mk3 versions of GBBRs as well as the m249 and vector, and know that they can't do their usual thing of let things slide for a few production batches and fix it later.
     
    GHK come out with a new glock but also shit the bed on the ARs. WE are doing things, not all great, but still things.
     
    Meanwhile TM are happy to make a basic but effective GBBR and re-release it in a different colour every 9 months and print money in the process, knowing that the aftermarket parts cover for any minor flaws they have.

    rj1986 reacted to DerDer in LCT M60 Series.   
    Imagine it will be a similar price to their older line, as you mentioned. Fire support have it listed as £1349. Could see them charging similar again. 
    The Bullgear PKM hop up unit was compatible with some M60 models. So if the hop up unit is dreck, that's another option.
     
    The company teased a HK21 in the past but imagine the M60 would be a better seller.  Will be disappointed when LCT display a teaser and then bring to market an AEG, faster than King Arms and their FN FAL re-release.  
     
    Still will give the Taiwanese company credit, a higher quality M60 would be a nice alternative to A&K offerings. Also a M60E3 would be an expensive but more readily available alternative to the Inokatsu of years gone by.

    Hope it doesn't suck balls, and is under 4 figures - which i doubt as the 2013 models were super expensive.

    Was recently looking at LCT's facebook page. At the end of the calendar preview, they would seem to have a promotion for a M60 series.
    Including the Vietnam "pig", as well as a few more contemporary models. One looks like the Danish E6.  Only a screen grab, imagine we will get more info later.
    Possibly the MOA show? The company had a classic M60 in the past albeit a limited production one.

    Lets put it another way - would people watch his videos and defend him if he got into rugby purely to try and high tackle people? Or football if his aim was to two-foot lunge everyone in sunday league (albeit this happens anyway)? Would people still want to play in a league that allowed this to carry on?
