Thanks for the update.  Couldn't care less about trades and good to have a release date at least pencilled in.

Yeah, I'm in much the same position. And the talk of a target price actually gives me a hint of hope. Time will tell if the reps are right I guess.

Got a bonus soon which is already burning a hole in my pocket for one of these, and I haven't played Airsoft for nearly 6 years at this point hahaha

[EvilMonkee]

Airsoftology had a video from MOA about it this week, so its still coming

Sod the FAL, the northeast UZI has reappeared! 

[DerDer]

Just to say these have gone up for preorder at WGC shop, with the admittedly vague date of Summer 2022.  Just the standard version at the moment. Still seems a closer step than KA have gotten with their re-release.

Arggh my wallet

I would have said the same except the idea of 20 round mags make this 'tricky' as a skirmish weapon.  Realistic and all, but enough to give me pause (and perhaps save the wallet from being emptied until bigger capacity mags are available)

I do like the look of that Uzi an awful lot too.  

[EvilMonkee]

Well I do mainly Cold War stuff and this looks perfect.  I would guess given its description that an L1A1 may be in the offing as well.  

[JamesAirsofterAgent]

Ahhh between this, the SMLE and the Cyma galil I am going to be homeless

[Druid799]

It’s coming ! 

[RostokMcSpoons]

Right, so I wanted a picture of the FAL bull pup mentioned in that last section, and I found it.

I rather wish I hadn't, it's melted my eyeballs and dissolved my brain

That's fugly, but to be fair it was a long long time ago, & looking at that they obviously didn't want to actually make them lol

Looking closer at it, they literally bodged the parts around to bullpup it, no consideration for looks, even the trigger rod is on the OUTSIDE ffs, they obviously didn't want to do it, so made just the one, as ugly as possible, for one presentation.

On the upside you can now answer the world's most unlikely pub quiz question

"Name a gun with two (count 'em) trigger guards"

You look at this and you realise as a ‘prototype’ it barely qualifies for the use of the word ‘bodge’ it’s such a literal “f**k it , that’s good enough !” Attempt at a task !
I wonder if the engineer who did it was a Brit on secondment to FN ? ???

[EvilMonkee]

Well I just pre-ordered after selling a kidney....

The small clips I have seen of it shooting it looks nice and snappy so fingers crossed it will be as good as the VFC G3 is.  Of course, it will be 'corrected' as far as I can to look like an L1A1....

Well you say that... If its accurate enough semi should be fine. I've held my own with a trishot and that's ten to a reload. Skirmish wise you'd probably be better off with a 20rnd single shot rifle that an UZI spitting bbs everywhere. I mean realistically any gbbr is at a disadvantage firepower wise. But half the ammo twice the fun! 

[RostokMcSpoons]

Half the ammo twice the fun?  This is my idea of fun...

Looks like a Sep/Oct release according to HK shops.
