From KWA Central Article.

According to KWA in the KWA Technical Forums, “the new upgrade parts are being manufactured and should be shipped to [KWA] sometime this week. [KWA] anticipates [the] release of products in the 3rd to 4th week of May.” In addition to their response “[KWA] sincerely apologizes for the long delay but [they] are certain the LM4 will be worth the wait.”

From KWA's response in the KWA Technical Forums, it's probably safe to assume KWA LM4 and TT-33 will be out by mid May.

SG Cheytac Licensed M200 Bolt-Action Sniper in Tan

Quote

The Cheytac M200 Intervention rifle by SOCOM Gear is fully licensed and the only 1:1 scale replica in the airsoft market. Much like its real counterpart this rifle is second to none. Often imitated but never duplicated.
The real Cheytac M200 is a bolt action .408 caliber long range sniper rifle. Although smaller than a .50 caliber round the .408 does in fact have more long range kinetic energy vs. the .50 caliber round making it a much more devastating platform for longer distance shots. Combined with Cheytac’s world famous ballistics calculator and software the M200 delivers an unmatched weapons platform for both superior power and accuracy at distances beyond a mile.
The SOCOM Gear M200 follows the real Cheytac closely featuring a full metal design combined with both steel and aluminum parts. This rifle is not for the light hearted, tipping the scales at 17lbs (unloaded and without scope) this rifle is for serious players only. This version however is not .408 caliber but instead powered by green gas (or propane) and uses the 8mm caliber round (bb) as it’s projectile. The steel magazine has a 7 round capacity and uses .408 caliber size dummy rounds. Each .408 dummy round holds one 8mm round in the tip. Just like the real thing, SOCOM Gear M200 is a bolt action rifle, fire a round, cycle the bolt, and chamber another round. Each time that the bolt is cycled the dummy .408 cartridge is ejected.
Notable features:
  • Fully licensed by Cheytac and features engraved trademarks
  • True 1:1 scale (don’t be fooled by imitators, SOCOM Gear is the ONLY true 1:1 scale M200)
  • Steel bolt, bipod, magazine, and stock
  • Detailed bolt for extreme authenticity and realism and is also removable
  • Uses both green gas / propane OR C02 (co2 bolt KIT OPTIONAL)
  • Full adjustable stock and folding monopod
  • Heavyweight aluminum barrel, chassis, and forend
  • Shell ejecting design for extreme realism
  • Shoots 8mm BBs for max power and range
  • Authentic fluted barrel
  • Authentic .408 style PGRS-1 muzzle brake
  • Steel .408 box magazine with spring and follower (1:1 scale and correct spec), 7 round capacity
  • Steel folding bipod with authentic markings
  • Reinforced carry handle with oversized bolts for extreme build quality
  • Picatinny rail allows for installation of any optic
  • Uses real steel spec grips, easily drop in any style AR grip
  • Fully adjustable hop-up
What’s in the box:
  • SOCOM Gear licensed Cheytac M200
  • 1 gas bolt (suitable for green gas or propane)
  • 1 steel magazine
  • 1 monopod and collapsible stock assembly
  • 5 .408 caliber size dummy shells (1 8mm bb per shell)

Feb 24 2012 12:04 PM | greatwatermelon in Airsoft-Barracks News

Danger Werx just released some photos and a diagram of what looks to be his upcoming hop up levers designed for the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 and Jing Gong. For some time, Danger Werx has been working with beta testers to reach a final design with his high engagement hop up lever. On top of that, it seems like he has been preparing a second variant as well. This 2-prong design is labeled as Type A, and the original flat bar design is labeled as Type B.

Socom Gear is proud to announce our latest product, the PMR-30 licensed by Kel Tec, coming soon.


Introduction
"The PMR-30 is a light weight, full size pistol chambered for the flat-shooting .22Magnum cartridge (.22WMR). The PMR-30 operates on a unique hybrid blowback/locked-breech system. This operation system allows for the use of a wide variety of ammunition as it seamlessly adjusts between locked breach and blowback operation, depending on the pressure of the cartridge. It uses a double stack magazine of a new design that holds 30 rounds and fits completely in the grip of the pistol. The trigger is a crisp single action with an over-travel stop. The manual safety is a thumb activated ambidextrous safety lever (up for SAFE, down for FIRE). The slide locks back after the last shot and a manual slide lock lever is also provided. The light, crisp trigger pull and fiber optic sights make the PMR-30 ideal for target shooting and hunting small game."

FN Herstal v. Jag Precision Lawsuit Summary

Jan 24 2012 09:38 AM | greatwatermelon in Airsoft-Barracks News

Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image

Just read the legal document that a friend found and shared with me... Complaint for Patent Infringement 'FN Herstal, S.A. et. al. v. Jag Precision' filed on Jan. 10, 2012.

The Cybergun and FNH products that the defendant JAG Precision imitated was 'Vega Force Company MK16 Light Version in FDE,' 'Vega Force Company MK16 Light Version in Black,' 'Echo1 Advanced Squad Carbine,' 'Echo1 Advanced Squad Carbine HEAVY (ASC-H) in Black,' 'Vega Force Company MK17 in FDE,' and 'Echo1 Advanced Squad Carbine HEAVY (ASC-H).'

The plaintiff FNH states that they have suffered $75,000 worth in damages and demands the defendant JAG Precision to pay "up to 3 times the amount of actual damages or assessed as appropriate under 35 U.S.C. Section 284." Also, "A judgment and order requiring corrective advertising to remedy the actual and potential customer confusion in the marketplace to due to Defendant's unlawful acts;"

That's a total of... $225,000 and advertising... Add that to Echo1/JAG's shaming at Shot Show 2012.

BREAKING NEWS! JAG/Echo1 Booth Shut Down @...

Jan 20 2012 12:30 AM | greatwatermelon in Airsoft-Barracks News

LAS VEGAS, NV: 19 January 2012 Thumpy’s 3D House of Airsoft has learned that SHOT Show officials are closing down the JAG Precision/ECHO 1 USA booth on the show floor, and are escorting company personnel from the site of the 2012 show over a temporary restraining order from CYBERGUN S.A. and FN Herstal.

The shutdown is allegedly resulting from not one but TWO lawsuits filed against JAG, first in Texas on January 10, and the second filed here in Nevada on the opening day of SHOT Show, January 17. Online records from those filings allege Patent Infringment by the popular California-based airsoft business from the largest holder of airsoft licensing agreements in the world.

SHOT Show media respresentatives are working on a statement, but did confirm that the vendor was being closed down after General Counsel for the NSSF, presenters of the SHOT Show, were made aware of a temporary restraining order from CYBERGUN representatives on Friday morning.

At midday, the JAG Precision and ECHO 1 USA booth was screened off by curtains, as company personnel including wildly-popular American YouTuber Brian Holt, were tearing down their displays.

Security personnel would not allow accredited media representatives to ask questions of JAG officials inside the display, and referred all questions to the SHOT Show media office, where we have place a query for an official response from the NSSF General Counsel’s office.
