What guns need improvement or don't exist?

sukivan · August 22nd, 2006, 05:42

I've been tossing around the idea of starting a North American airsoft manufacturer and I need to find out what the market here is like. To this end, I'd like to know what guns the airsoft community would most like to see remade (current manufacturer(s) of gun are doing poor job, etc) or made for the first time (gun does not exist or is difficult to obtain, ie barrett).

like to see metal body famas. Plastic sux.

If you manage it, some of the classics. FN-FAL, the Lee Enfield (to countermatch the Mausers).
In Canada, you should be able to find tons of original Lee Enfield parts to make that gun look better, same for the FAL.

This being said, many have had that idea before. It's expensive, and the red tape comes by truck. I hope you are rich or that you have rich backers.

yeah the FAL is a big one for me as well, a AEG galil would be great and YES a lee-enfield would be amazing the No.4 MkII is my personal fave.

one big thing i would kill to get made is HK79 40mm under barrel gernade lancher for the G3A3 (but in todays market the SG1). i would also like to see the old A3's get made again but with the wood furnitune not that plastic shit.

then for a pistol a Mateba Model 6 Unica

Seconded.

This has been guaged before- despite the real FAMAS being plastic, there's a lot of FAMAS owners out there without access to replacement parts, upgrade parts and others. Hell, if someone milled a metal upper-receiver with a different handle (FAMAS Sniper handle, or rail, anyone?), I'm sure a lot of people will snap that up.

... apart from that,

FN F-7 :-D

The real palastic Famas dosen't creak. metal body dosen't henc my plastic sux comment.

Also like to see:
Browning M1917 water cooled
and
Robson Armerments M96 or Bren gun MKI

Gryphon · August 22nd, 2006, 09:35

I'd give my left nut for an AKMS. A proper AKMS, not a converted milled receiver.

It wasn't supposed to.
I've had this conversation before, metal parts on a FAMAS would just be... badass. It's got little to do with the creaking.

I am glad we can agree that metal famas would kick ass.

jerryliang2k · August 22nd, 2006, 10:30

I'd also like to see some metal FAMAS parts. In addition to that, an airsoft FN2000 would kick ass.

SovietHippie · August 22nd, 2006, 11:15

Definetly A XM109 and a CZ110(We have a lack of Russian/east bloc pistols)
and I second a Galil, that or a Tavor. Though man, I would buy a XM109 in a second if they came out with that.

The Saint · August 22nd, 2006, 11:32

I'd give someone's right nut for a metal shotty based off TM's current shotgun line, with four instead of three inner barrels if possible. The Mateba would also be nice, especially if they make the Ghost in the Shell versions as well.

owner · August 22nd, 2006, 12:28

A sten MKII or MKIII gas blowback for sure

^Hyperion^ · August 22nd, 2006, 13:10

Tavor-21 for sure , plus a Barrett M82 and M95 somebody on this earth can afford

I second that. Three barrels are perfect though.

In fact, a better anything of TM's lame old plastic would do.
