The Real sword myth gun has become a reality. A Korean company has made the ultimate M4 AEG. I can't wait to see a review.

The Linked Article wrote:How is the interest right now in the DAS M4A1 in South Korea? Will it generate more interest from Koreans and participate in airsoft games?
It is embarrassing to say, but we did not check any opinion in Korea. Guns are very sensitive here, and we have really restrictive regulations pertaining to airsoft. Many Koreans are interested in DAS M4A1, but, under such circumstances, it is difficult to encourage them to buy DAS M4A1, and take up airsoft game. GBLS will lobby to reform the laws, and set up a favorable environment for airsoft's popularization. As the first step, we decided to sponsor a Korean airsoft team in the USA. You will see the team supported by GBLS sporting DAS patches in the game shortly. While we cannot provide our products to domestic airsoft teams, we expect the video of our sponsored team to bring a perspective change on airsoft, and be the stepping-stone to boosting it here in Korea.
When will you be releasing it for the South Korean market? How about the global airsoft market? What will be the pricing (in US Dollars)?
The guns fitted for Korean regulations are not good for airsoft games, so there are no plans to release them in Korea. We will go to the global market first. Expect 300 limited edition units to be released soon.
Tankwitch wrote:On topic you are right on some of the design problems with the rifle in the first post. But this is a common problem with any external first design. All airsoft falls into the problem that the internals are not built first. As standard Version 2 gearboxes have obvious failure areas. All basic airsoft and advanced airsoft rifles all suffer from a high failure rate. You just have to accept what your willing to have fail first.
Tankwitch wrote:So bitching about an untested and new system about how it's going to fail is absurd. I bet you with it's stock performance being pretty good and the EBB recoil that's solid, if you let it come into the market and see what it can do. I bet you this AEG will could be a GBBR killer.

The Article You Linked wrote:While almost all the parts for the mass production gearbox version are moulded, the limited edition's ones are CNC-milled and assembled by Mr. Kim personally.
Tankwitch wrote:For the holding of gears even basic cast pot metal has enough strength.
Tankwitch wrote:Yes the price kills it for almost all players, but what they are selling is a preproduction model. Originally meant for stores not end users. Estimates have it that the production cost to end users is going to be a third of the preproduction model.
Tankwitch wrote:A simple Google search shows that the major complaint about this model (Sharp edges in the casting) also exists on the Systema gearbox. I know of no major problems that comes from this design flaw, the major stress points are in a separate part to the gearbox.

I must point out that the cost for expendables for airsoft so low that if you judge it based on trying to get the cost of expendables equal to the cost of the equipment you'd never buy an airsoft gun. So you should check out BO airsofts supergun that they are building I'll include a link. They claim it will last a million rounds.
Here is a link to arnies thread about this gun with more info:

I'm tired of trying to reason with you. You've started using tired argument tricks, and that saps my will to continue.
