Umarex/VFC/Elite Force MP7 AEG - Any info?

[GemsHD]

Sorry if the title is a little clickbait...

I have seen a few videos on this from shot show 2018 in January that all said, "There would be news on the release of this in the coming year". It is now November and I cannot find anything on it since then...

I was wondering if anyone has any information on it? All I want is a 1:1 AEG MP7 ?

It's all gone a bit quiet. Once they've done that, let's have an AEG Uzi next.

AEG Uzi!  That wishfull thinking or have they said there making one?

 

[MisterG]

TM and Well make Uzi AEPs, finding one in stock is more of a challenge ?

Were you after a particular brand?

Cheers

[BigAl]

No, just a solid skirmishable UZI AEG or GBB would be even better.

A borg can dream.  Nah, I'm just hoping that whatever AEG sorcery that they're cramming into the MP7 makes its way into other SMGs as well.

 

[Skara]

I guess it's gonna be expensive af..

[Skara]

Not impressed tbf.

It's basically an arp9 in disguise, nothing more than that.

 

[Musica]

Think you are understating it. He said it has stop on empty. That's a really niche feature on few guns I've seen.

 

[Skara]

That "feature" is not worth the gazillion dollars price tag vfc will be asking.

 

[Rogerborg]

Well, let's see.  I do suspect that it'll be premium priced, given that if you want a full sized AEG MP7, it's take it or leave it.

 

[Skara]

I will probably leave it then.

Until I have some spare cash to throw away at something I don't need.

Also stop on empty (imo) doesn't make any sense on a non blowback gun. It would scare the crap out of me if my gun suddenly stopped cycling (may have ran out of ammo, may have fried an electric board or a mosfet, dead battery, snapped wire, gearbox lock up or anything really, who knows).

Posted by @FreeFrag.UK in Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread at £440 needless to say people are not happy. 

Will other retailers have chance to undercut?   I doubt we see it go under £400 advertised price even  if others pick it up.

Can't say I'm surprised tbh. By the looks of things internally it's almost entirely proprietary and VFC stuff isn't cheap anyway.

 

[Wo1f]

From what I understand, the shell itself it proprietary, but it uses standard internals for the most part. No idea if that means V2, 3 or whatever..

for £350 I’d take one, but not a penny more 

 

[PopRocket123]

The gears are actually proprietary since there's 4 of them, an extra short motor and cut down cylinder and piston 

 

[Skara]

Airsoft is getting fucking expensive again, just like it was 10 years ago.

I really wish more companies released "pro" kits like systema does, a disassembled gun at a lower price point than a pre assembled gun.

Should be v2 internals but on a custom shell, I imagine proprietary tappet and selector plates and zero battery space.

You sure?

Yeah the photos of the gearbox in the airsoftology video show 4 sets of bearings, the motor is considerably smaller than a V3 and there was no way the were going to fit a full stroked cylinder in there and still have room for the barrel and battery.

Plus proprietary safety and presumably trigger

GBLS did one. They removed £200 worth of furniture and dropped the price by £100 ?
