what gun hasnt battled agianst the AK.......

A musket :)

the only popular gun being the XM8. But it will soon unless terrorists get rich and buy SIGS from Switzerland (in which case the sig will see battle against the XM8 on 2 fronts). Both cases mean we're screwed. The only reason we can hope to win is technology. Their structure is much safer than ours.

But will top come up with a sturgewehr 44(mp44)? I want an AEG that can at least compare to the SHoei because I would probably prefer a car to a GBB rifle I won't use but 2x a month.

they wont make a MP44

Ehh, thats not necessarily true. It's possible some company will make an mp-44, lord knows theres a market for it. Give it time bud, give it time.

In other news, arniesairsoft.co.uk has said that the top mp-40 is set for a late feburary release and for around 480 buckeroos. Start saving up kiddos, this isn't going to be a cheap gun.

$480? What I heard is that it will be from $580 to $680, correct me from wrong. I think Top realizes that it will appeal to ALL airsofters no matter your impression (don't need to dress up like a Wehrmacht or SS soldier). The MP40 is used by many rebels and terrorists to this day, and might be the gun thats appeard in most movies. Its pretty much an all around bad guy gun.
Then again, you can throw on a leather jacket, brown fedora, whip, revolver, and use an MP40.....voila, you are the worlds best action adventure character of all time! If you don't know who I am talking about get a life.

mp40 are SWEET!! I was seriously thinking about getting the springer one I saw at a local airsoft store, cheap but still an mp40, I also saw a cool luger to go with it. then a thompson to fight against... why doesnt tm make a mp40 to go with the thompson. WWII GUNS ARE COOL! o then a b.a.r. and mp44

MP40 available at tokyo hobby for pre order
scroll down you will see it, the m14, and the KSC aeg I have wondered about. Anyone know the KSC website?

At arnies airsoft I saw something within the past few days saying that some retailer in japan or hk that got news directly from top that it would be released late feb. and cost 498000 yen. When I did the conversion it came out to 479 and somethin cents. So....it's gunna be cheaper and more affordable then you expected. :)

Anyone know about the magazines as in
where to buy ?
how much capacity?
hicap capacity?
cost?

tis all a mystery.........

They should be able to be purchased whereever the gun can be........
as for price, normal I'd say, and as for capacity, I bet they'll have standards and high caps.

/THOU SHALT NOT USE MY NAME IN VAIN/ trhe more I look at this gun the more I want it........argh

enything new on the MP40?

No, I'll be the first one to alert you when any more news comes out.

cool, I'll be watching

Well, top has now pushed the date back to mid march, the 17th to be exact. Sound familiar? Well, at least we can probably count on it being out by christmas.......

Haha it sounds like TOP is being ran by an old lady who is very slow.

wow......TOP sucks

Sorry, but the MP40 is an ugly gun. Ugh. :(

NO WAY!!! MP40 RULES!!!

MP40 looks like a giant turd with a barrel and trigger.

Well those were 2 helpful posts. Anyways, I'd bet most people would dissagree with you.

On a different note........is anyone here planning on getting one of these babies?

Yes, I am.

if someone thinks the MP40 is ugly, they have no taste im sorry
