david3558, you don't work for airsoft elite, do you?

Making threats = bad business

Also telling us that you make ths guns for under $40 USD may cause some of that bad business too... especially when we will have to pay $500+ once it's in Canada.

The assembly cost of the guns may be ~$40, but I don't think the total cost of each component PLUS $40 is that low.

In any case, I'm interested in how this product will turn out. Hope to hear more about it soon.

remember though that a guarder ftk that we pay $200 can. for probably cost $20 u.s. at the manufacturing level. sounds crazy, but absolutely true. the asian markets know how to make a shitload of money off the north american retailer. just ask wal-mart. btw, ho many hands have those guarder parts been thru from manufacturing to you, with duties, taxes, freight and mark-up at each step. minimum 4 times, but likely more.

Take the Nike example and apply it to Airsoft.

The raw materials might be $40 US, but there's no way a full metal AEG costs less than $40 US to produce.

Hey,
A necropost, but considering I started it in the first place and have news on the gun, I assume it's excusable.

The FMC executive apologizes for the poor Photoshop job (hence, the pixel-infected area near the rear), but as for the trademarks and the general shape, it looks amazing.
I'll update with more info, seems that I'll be the guinea-pig to try one of these.

Here we go.

Truly looks stunning.

If the internals are good, very good chance that this may be one of my first (if not THE first gun) I (IE my parents) purchase.

Def. looking forward to a good review of sorts.

Working with Sam (Sam0182 on these boards, www.bcairsoftsupply.com), I'll be bringing forward a review shortly, along with one other. He'll be stocking them, you can inquire if you wish.
Review, pictures, and perhaps a short movie (perhaps with a comparison or two, target shooting, and perhaps an action one) shall follow. Cheers ;-)

Looks awesome...nice to see Canadian weapons are getting some reconiztion. Kudos to Sam on finding cool stuff

Which C8?


I want one with an ambi-mag release and safety. If *any* company could do an AEG like that, hell even just a body would be nice, I'd be on one like a fat kid on a smartie. ;)

Heh, what's the P on the selector stand for?...Phire!?

Should be an R for Repetition, no?

J

P = PH34R!

Hmm...
Can someone who has experience with real-steels clarify this? I'm afraid that I don't know if it's 'P' or 'R', and they have promised to correct it if it's wrong.
