Holy Crap - Escort Gas Blowback drop in mechbox!!!?!

ancorp · November 9th, 2007, 16:06

YouTube - Escort Blowback Mechbox

Fresh off the chopping block is the new Escort Mechbox. This is built inside a standard UNMODIFIED Tokyo Marui mechbox. It is fully pneumatic and requires no batteries to operate. The additional recoil is substantial and the rate of fire is adjustable. This is only the prototype and the final model will have semi auto using standard Tokyo Marui style components. The system is simple and robust, unlike anything before in airsoft. This is slated for release early next year. Stay tuned for more updates.....this is one you won't want to miss.

S-nap! I definitely want one for my AK. Get it setup with a nice ICS Bolt carrier for some heavy blowback.

This is much better then the crappy AEG/Gas combos, where its an AEG, with a valve instead of a cylinder head. Makes it way to complicated and still has that AEG whine. But this! This is all pneumatic. No electronics, the way guns should be.

Discuss!
Cheers,
Alex

+2 for my AK.

It's about time, bring it on!

Gas seems to be the holy grail in regards to rifles.

As long as they find a way to store the gas inside the gun or mag itself.

I would hate to have an external rig to power that... too much like paintball...

With our winters, I'll stick with electric

Although truth be told, a gas PSG-1 would be the cats ass.

Sorry, got to be external. This is for an unmodified AEG body utilizing AEG mags. Besides, nothing wrong with external air.

Yep, and agreed. Screw internal gas in mags, mags too expensive. Screw internal resiviours, can't be swapped like a mag. External air - less cooldown, more capacity, easier to work with.

I can't wait for these to come out. Word is they will be under the $200 mark, which isn't much above the price of a TM mechbox anyway.

Can't wait!

Cheers,
Alex

interesting.....

external gas source with hose? That wrecks it for me. I was hoping for 88g Co2 where the battery fits in on a G36c. External gas is like bringing your mom along when you on a date with your girlfriend.

I'm most certainly interested in this. I never much liked the electronic aspect of airsoft, so this is most certainly something on my wish list.

I'd rather have the external HPA tank with all-weather regulated performance than internal with propane or CO2, both of which are affected greatly by weather and pressure conditions. Some shit looks mighty cool, but give me performance over looks any day.

Kimbo · November 9th, 2007, 16:50

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to mod the airline to run back into the stock or other void where a small co2 cannister could be housed. Don't know what size of cannister you could get or what the capacity would be, better question for the Paintballers among us. It'd be interesting to know what volume of gas is consumed on each cycle of the mechbox.

how much does an external tank weigh? and how many shots do you get out of these things GRYPHON????
I wouldn't want to have to start carrying a big tank on my back, but I would like to hear pop.pop.pop.pop. rather then wwwwweeeeeerrrrrrr

Don't forget that it will also have a much more feelable "blowback". That, and a much simpler system then an AEG's gearbox internals IMO.
