| Hello ladies and gentlemen! I thought we could make a thread were we discuss modelguns/replicas and such we would like to see in the future. Myself I would love to see Dboys that made the cartridge loaded airsoft kar98 make a whole ww2 serie. Just make the standard rifles of the war. Like Mosin nagant 1891/30, SMLE, Arisaka 99, Carcano 91/38 and a springfield for the yankess  I think it would be a profit in it , especially because the original dboys kar98 were kinda a cheap. Not the greatest qualite I know. But a fun rifle to play with  | |

| Well, given the state of modelgun industry I am happy for any new mould that comes out.
Maybe a bit fed up with numerous 1911s, although what Tanio Koba did is a step forward.
I don't think Dboys made any models. They seem to be airsoft only, so not quite as interesting for me. | |

| Both the Arisaka and Springfield rifles have been manufactured as top quality dummy cartridge replicas. Unfortunately this level of quality and accuracy doesn't come cheap.
Hudson did make the M1 Garand and Marushin also produce this but in Airsoft form.
If Airsoft is your thing, you'll be pleased to know both the Moisin Nagant and Lee Enfield SMLE are available now too.
Modelguns are top of our wish-list though so I'd like to see cap-firing shell ejecting modern weapons like MP5s, P90s, SA80s, G3 and belt fed machine guns on the market

| Well, Airsoft is not really my main thing. I do know about the mosin nagaint and No4 but those are pretty expensive.. But those who eject shells are pretty fun. Like dboys kar98 . Yeah, about that. How come no modelgun company made a beltfed one? I could easily see a market for it! | |

| Hudson did build a prototype M60 Belt Fed MG a few years ago but had many problems getting it to fire and operate the belt feed system successfully. A lot of power is needed from a cap to cycle the bolt, move the belt, strip a cartridge from the belt reliably. Sadly Hudson did not manage it.There's a custom modelgun builder in Japan who managed to build an operating belt fed MG34 so it IS possible. All we need is for one of the few remaing manufacturers to invest in R&D and tooling at start building one. I'd certainly like one

| Hi everybody,
Light machine guns with magazines should maybe more easy to build?
Madsen, Lewis, ZbVz26, Bren, Dp28, BAR, Type 99, all this kind of stuff....
Even if the operating system is not exactly the same as the real. | |

| Would love reliable versions of the staples that I could use as movie props: modern M4 (flat top with rail, RIS, etc), MP5, AK, etc. | |

| I second the above post- much safer for my clients than blanks.
Probably because I lack the class and decency of most people on here I'd like to see more things like the MP5N, UMP .45 and Spas 12 or Benelli shotguns in production. Auto-loading shotguns would require some fun new shells but this is a wish list right?
Also, and this is a big one: A Mateba. | |
