Tokyo Marui H&K 416C

Unsure if this is new news, but a 26/3/16 release date on a very nice looking piece of kit:

Slightly tempted...

If TM are producing an AEG recoil version of the 416C and it gets shipped to the UK then I have found my back-up gun . Can use the same magazines. I really like the HK sliding stock for compactness, even if it means the battery has to be front mounted (in PEQ box).

Battery in the magazine...I recall ARES were crucified for having this idea in their Grease Gun...

Ares where but TM have wired this to the front as well so you can use battery mags or regular mags and a peq / battery grip for battery.

[Dentonboy]

Indeed. Be interesting to see which is the most popular.

The battery mags are 30 round but looking at the space and using a lipo I think you could increase this to 90 easily. The aftermarket guys should hopefully make this available.

Battery magazine is a cleaver idea, although not sure that I would want to buy 4 x NiMH batteries to be able to run four mags. Still prefer to just use one LiPo battery up front and keep using my 82 BB recoil mags.

Once I put a lipo in a KAC PDW. This one is huge compared to that.

I fancy one if it's all metal. Do need a backup aeg krytac is on the list as a possible.

The TM HK416C should now be available in the UK. Combat South are expecting delivery of stock today or early next week. I regret not phoning them yesterday and asking when the gun was due in before I drove down there for just some extra magazines, it would have saved a trip and I would have a new gun.
