What we want is largely irrelevent. TM guns are designed for the domestic (Japanese) market, and never were intended to be upgraded in the first place.

C'mon man, I KNOW you know that Systema guns were never intended for the gaming public. The fact that they CAN shoot 500 fps is because JSDF and other military/police units that train with them are above the law that prevents civvies from owning guns over 1 joule.

TM guns, especially, were never intended to be sold outside of Japan. That's why up until about 5 or 6 years ago, all TM instruction booklets were Japanese only.

There is no "recoil system" integrated in TM AK-47s...

And yes, its a brand new AK. New gearbox, new type mags, bolt system, grip angle, folding stock possibly, etc. I can't wait to see some reviews.

Due to the mag design (looks like it has feed lips?) we may have the gun not dry firing anymore, i.e it would automatically stop shooting once the mag is empty, which is f-ing awesome.

Looks like it folds to me (unless this is a different gun).

The mags look better too, almost real-steel-ish.

Yessir, the stock definitely folds then. + for realism!

I'm getting one when they are available (most likely).

It will be cloned in no time.

Cool man thanks for the info you sound like you know your AK's. Do you have one if so what did you do to it im thinkin of getting one myself before i heard about this new one being made...and does anyone know when this is going retail?

[ancorp]

Nah mate, I don't have one of these, they ain't out yet as far as I know. Hopefully its retail price will be competitive to the rest... probably the same as their Type89.

I do own a TM AK though... an AKM more or less, built from a AK-47 though. See the gallery section.

Hiryu was kind enough to send link with photos of Marui's stand on this year Plamodel Radicon. Well, here it is: Marui AK74MN with metal body and new blow back system. Details are bit sketchy at the moment, but pictures are impressive. With thanks to guys at Military Blog Japan, who are authors and proprietors of these pictures.

Hawt. I'd thought I'd never see an AK metal receiver that'd say Tokyo Marui on it...

This in turns makes the user hold the gun like a real gun instead of a recoil less AEG."

Won't this use a fuck-ton more battery? Like double?

I think I'ma scratch the SCAR for now...

Does this finally put a nail in the coffin of "Japanese companies (TM) can't produce stock metal guns because the law says they can't"? TM14, Type 89 and now AK74, all with fully metal receivers.

If that thing takes a large battery in the folding stock (without the stupid ribbings in the compartment like you get in the M14s), battery power isn't really going to be an issue. I'm far more interested in how they're going to do AEBBG. G&G tried it in their L85 and it was terrible by all accounts.

Please, Oh mighty Flying Spaghetti Monster, PLEASE let the handguards be MilSpec.

Well it's TM, I'm sure they've put a lot of work into it and it will be pretty good.
