Creating an official thread for this

It's beginning to hit the market. Release date is NOW. Companies are taking pre-orders now, and I have access to a few. More information has been made available for this system:

- Retail Price in Japan: ~$395 CAD (once landed in Canada, it will be more than that)

- Fires a selectable 3 rounds OR 6 rounds per shot.

- Gas powered

- Gas Reservoir is stored in the full stock, and can be removed and replaced like a gas cartridge.

- Each gas reservoir is able to fire 100 shots. In other words, if you're shooting 3 rounds, you can put 300 rounds downrange on each tank of gas. These ratings are on duster gas. Unknown performance on propane.

- Can use old Marui shells, or the new ones

- Each shell holds 30 rounds

- Features a patent-pending industry first: Dual hop up system. Each system controls the spin on 3 BB's. With 3 BB's being fired, only one system is engaged. 6BB's engages both systems.

- FULL METAL, where it all should be! Die cast aluminum receiver, and metal outer barrel

- Online videos show Marui reps racking this thing single handed... to prove that there is durability in the cocking mechanism.

I've been looking forward to a GOOD shotgun for airsoft for years. Many companies have tried... all have failed. Durability and performance were always the biggest downfalls. I am expecting good things from this, and am excited to get my hands on one.

Looks sweet. Wonder what the fps would be on propane (hopefully above minimum import levels) if it can handel propane.
And 395? I think you need a new suppliers. Echigoya has em for 289 (pre order but i doubt they will bump em up 100 bucks.
Do want for CQB goodness.

Vid of it in action.

$395 is not the price from my suppliers. It is definitely less. $395 is just the published RETAIL price under normal conditions. In other words, it's MSRP. It's only the suggestion. How much a supplier sells for, is up to them. The MSRP is only a reference point.

I doubt this gun can shoot 3 rounds of BB's over import levels using propane. If it did, that's a lot of hurt in a single burst. But... you never know. It's always possible, especially if the inner barrel(s?) runs the full length of the outer barrel.

Sweet mother of God.

I'd be down for one of these. My m500 is fun on CO2 but I don't always want to run the KWA remote.

Would be awesome to game this with a couple of working glocks... :) (still not in a rush, whenever you find time) lol

Wow, wow & WOOOOOOW, Don't know how I missed this amazing development!!

Do i wait for reviews, or just take the plunge?

I wonder if there will be multiple versions of it. ie : military/civi/sport etc?

*edit, I'm liking the shell eject feature @ the end :o

This is so badass!!!

I have already set aside the funds for when it hits Canada.
Can't freaking wait.

Great, another one to save up for...*sigh*

Seconded. The first time I saw this my shotgun love swarmed back to me.

If it had a no stock option it would finally make the Masterkey a viable option. Too bad! I'd be all over it then.

No stock would be possible but it would really reduce the gas capacity.
But i hear that a gas masterkey wouod be alot beter then the trishot i have planed.

Holy crap... I already have HPA rigs for P*

I am totally gonna try to get this rigged up for non perminant HPA

I've resisted shotgun temptation for years; waiting like a trapdoor spider for the time to be right. This could be it!
