Good on him to lock in the price so far out from delivery.

spoke to the folks at xforce…
the order is definitely going ahead… no " lets see if we get the minimum numbers…"
i.e, they need a container of 500 items.
It may be 120 P.R’s, and 380 of others.
This is my understanding, so you can place preorders, with certainty they will arrive.
Might take a bit longer than april, though…
Good stuff…!
I know people don’t like preorders, but when its a expensive specialised item with a certain appeal base…
I’d wanna know just how many to bring in, if it was my buisness…
I held /test fired one of these, when i picked up the SPAS…
The slide does cycle manually, but is not connected, so it doesn’t cycle when firing…
This does two things
- Exceptionally quiet firing, and,
- Consumes less gas per shot.
this leads to more shots per fill, and a slower reduction in pressure, leading to a more gradual tapering off ,of fps.
It is plastic, does feel light in the hand, but looks the goods.
I’ll have a good look at one, when they come in stock…
oh man, that’s so Solid Snake ngl.
I’ve only ever seen these TM MK23s advertised at Armoured Heaven.
Be nice if a few more retailers stocked them, the price might come down a bit.
The idea of a double action trigger, non reciprocating slide, the power of a gas blaster in a unit so quiet PLUS a suppressor that actually works is just TOO cool…

JinMing must be out of ideas?
Following hot on the heels of the new improved 2023 Gen8 3.0……… here’s their new Gen9 2.0 release!
All new higher detailed moulding, Cast Metal Gears, Mag Prime, Functioning Bolt Catch and Blowback, fitted with XT30 Battery Plug all as standard equipment.
Haven’t retained the original Gen9 Handguard for some reason though

Hmmm, wonder what the price is gonna be for one of those, might be the new beginners gun.
Will still be relatively cheap, close enough to the original price point I would imagine.
Certainly can’t sell updated old models as expensive as proper new products
Wonder if they’ve kept the hybrid Gen 9 gearbox shape or moved over to a more conventional V2?
Looks like a direct competitor for the CYMA M4s…
Not entirely sure mate, will have to check with my contact and see what they say 
I think I paid $85 for the last on I purchased from TEH
$125 for the TT branded version
Let me see - one GBBR or 12 CYMAs

Oh god I’m a slut for 416s.
Ditto… I’ve still got an LDT 416 in a bag amongst all the other blasters… cool platform.

I see they are at stage 2 of the pre order, so the boat hasn’t sunk yet.
A lot more reasonably priced than the full CNC ones, an actual competitor to the LDT ones.
Easier to refill than th LDTs but then having the open slots on the sides is just inviting rubbish to get into the blaster. I guess with anything they both have pros and cons and it’s up to th consumer to decide what they’d prefer to compromise on

M4A1 are still around? I thought they jumped the proverbial ship (the ship being Aus) a while ago.
Agreed that they look the goods and are a great innovation over the bottom spring/top motor feed designs.
As long as they work and are reliable, I would imagine that these will become the standard type magazine that everyone will be using.
I used to go insane modifying mag release catches for different model blasters and magazines, not to mention cutting off or adding the feed rings at the top.
The only difference that I can see might be an issue is the difference in size between the spine on the back of the mag being different in a few different M4 versions, which may lead to the mag not fitting the mag well at all, or being too loose
Time will tell I imagine.
Yeah, I can see that, aren’t J9 magwells slightly narrower at the back, or was that CYMA there was one that didn’t like other brand mags cause of that specifically.
Looks good. Keen to see how it performs 
There was a difference between Gen8/9, WELLS, LDT and then the V2/V3 powered M4’s from different manufacturers.
The width and depth that the spine engages into the mag well are both different issues that I remember having to modify/overcome to get different builds fitting together properly.
They might have been standardised in the newer V3 M4’s, but we all know how much manufacturers love to make all of their parts proprietary to their products 
Not many people used to realise that the catch hooks on the mag releases were different heights, which I would either file back or add material to get to function, or cut new catch slots in the mag casing to latch properly.
The mag release buttons/levers and pins were all different widths and lengths as well!
You would think that you could simply fit the appropriate mag release lever into another blaster receiver, because they all “look” like they are all the same……… but no 
It used to take me more time having to file down components/chop/extend/join different release levers together to operate in different receivers with different widths and recess sizes where the latches fit flush into the mouldings.
So yeah……. certainly interested to see if these will be a “one size fits all” solution, which would be great if they are
