Sorry lads its been a dream of mine too for many years affordable Mauri's

And ye just had to ruin it......nice one :mad: lol

Screw affordability, what about availability. Export is restricted on much of TM's stuff due to copyright infringement. If this is true, and the free trade agreement goes ahead, then that could mean two very exciting things:
1.) Entire Marui product lines available in Ireland
2.) Marui spare parts available in Ireland (slides, hop ups etc)

So yeah, those two points alone make me excited...if it goes ahead

Surely Edna kenny can do something right.......hopefully.

if import taxes etc. are lower than hopefully shops here will possibly sell them a little cheaper or maybe they wont who knows

I am open to correction here, but import duty I believe is pretty low - just 3%. So the change will be minimal.

And from having looked at TM gear in Akihabra in Tokyo, I can tell you it is pretty pricey over there as well!

Fail

I'll wait till mauri or marushin do a proper Gas shell ejection AA 12

Aeg shotgun no ,no ,no

Shotguns are a weird one - without shells, they're kind of pointless...but with shells they're impractical

You feel like you should be loading shells into 'em, and just not having to worry about picking 'em up.

I agree 100% with Dex though...the AA12 is a horrific looking piece; I didn't think it existed in RS when I saw it on-screen. It really does just look like a mock-up by a random designer with lots of bondo. It needs to be loud.

If you made gas powered one, and *really* ramped up the gas flowing into the recoil system, you *might* get close to what that thing feels like with recoil suppression.

That many proprietary parts is always a red flag for me, though.

It makes the FA-MAS look like Miss USA. Anything that can achieve that feat, is fully deserving of the fugly monicker.

Have you seen the original AA12 from the 70's with the original M16 VN handguard and matching full stock .
Even the Koreans couldn't improve it with the USAS 12

I'm sure cod fans are going to be over the aeg

I do love the AA12 for some crazy reason - but that just looks like they haven't even finished making it.

Via French Airsoft Dude (Khan-Seb)

So, some news about the AA12 prototype we saw some days ago. The gun we saw in the video is a prototype made by a young French company called Airsoft Absolution.

More details about the upcoming gun itself :

- It will be made with steel and fiberglass and weights around 4.5 kg.
- The gun will use a known gearbox. We don't know what version yet, but it will be something we already know, so upgrade parts will be there already.
- The gun seen in the video is a prototype only and is not a final version.
- It will has a mosfet regulator.
- Each shots fires 3 6mm bbs through an auto loaded drum magazine.
- ROF will be around 300 shots per min (which is slow but realistic).
- It will be 100% made in France, production and assembly.
- Price is not known yet, but they want it to be average compared to common price on the airsoft market.
- A Gbbr version might come as well if the AEG version meet some success.

A "known gearbox"? I don't know of any AEG gearboxes that fire three rounds per shot. This implies it's using a MOSFET to give a burst fire, rather than a proper shotgun blast of three rounds.

Meh, it's still doing nothing for me. I can get over looks if performance is special (God help me, I own some bloody ugly guns for that very reason), but my M7 and P90 have burst fire already. You couldn't really class this as a shotgun. It's just another AEG rifle.

Not to p*ss in anyone's corn flakes over it, that is. If it's for you, then congrats. I just think it'd be a hell of a lot more interesting if they went gas first. If it barked and jumped, and spat a dozen rounds a shot while ejecting shells, it'd be useless for skirmishing, but everyone would want one.

This is how you do it.

Until I see an official statement from Magpul themselves I am not even going to bat an eyelid to that. The Magpul PTS website says nothing.

This would be monumental news in the airsoft community. A small paragraph with a very poor reason is not going to make me believe him.

There are clones of everything in airsoft and people who want to buy quality will remain to do so. Same as clone aeg's. pistols, tactical equipment etc.

Absolutely, most of us have spent cash we didn't have on their accessories but apparently they're trying to protect their brand amongst the shooting community in the States.

Ah well, just wait until the 1st ad appears for real magpul stuff here, 200% mark up anyone?

Absolutely no profiteering here as per the rules lads so any of that that starts up it will surely be shot down?

Protecting the brand me arse. Clone magpul equipment will be around for many a moon to come. They can replicate anything they want even you......:eek: and will continue to do so long after PTS are "gone" hence not really protecting their brand but making a mockery of it.

If the "rumours" and that is what they are, are true then their is with out a doubt a bigger reason for this rather than his clone malark, as like I said people who buy magpul equipment buy it for a reason.

I doubt PTS would be overly happy with an employee leaking quite substantial bit of information on what is one of the biggest airsoft forums on the globe.

This reads like it doesn't matter man, rare or not

Profiteering:
What is Profiteering?
Profiteering is selling an item above RRP because it's scarce in supply and / or in high demand and is not permitted.

If you believe someone is profiteering then please report the post and include a link to where the exact same item can normally be purchased for less. This must take into account any VAT / import duties / transport charges / downgrading / accessories - basically it must be a price for the exact same item being offered here, delivered in Ireland and fully legal. If the mods agree then we will post those fact on thread. Do not take it upon yourself to post on our behalf.
