TM's two new guns...well kinda....

[Andy]

Doing my daily airsoft news check on my fav. sites and came a cross this. This is from Arnies Airsoft and it said...

Tokyo Marui will be releasing a new version of the SIG later in the year, although no release date is given as of yet and no mention of whether it will be the 550S version or the 552. It seems likely that it'll be the 552 (with a new RIS front grip, and a new reinforced stock is my guess), but as said above, it's best to wait and see.
Next up from TM is the Colt M733. This is the carbine assault rifle best know for it's appearance in BlackHawkDown. Due for release sometime in March this new Colt variant is roughly 10cm shorter than your common garden M4 but comes with an A2 frame. Your guess is as good as mine as to what TM will do to this release to make it special/different - remember nearly all of TM's releases come with some form of innovation (camo paintjob maybe?).

Not toltaly new but i wont to see the new sig.

So another spin off, huh? Oh well, i guess we'll have to wait another 4 months to see if they decide to put out a UMP or something.

These will be pretty cool, i guess. More [read: very little more] variety to the field.

I would have bet money that a g36K would have been their next venture, though.

[edit] After checking which CAR the M733 acctually is, i'm over joyed. As most people can tell from my current gun line up, i love my compact weapons. i have a PDW, and g36c. This new compact armalite is awsome for me. If i get another AEG, this'll be it. Too bad i'll want a GBB before an AEG. oh well. Plus, i'm a big "Heat" fan. i believe this is the gun DeNiro and Kilmer used in the end, or atleast something pretty damned close.

The first screen shot really gives a great view of Kilmer shooting it.

You're going to have to copy and paste the link. I hate tripod too, but that's what styles uses.

credit goes to Styles of ASZ for the shots.

check it out...real steel.

man, i want one....

I'm pretty pleased with the news. The M733 if made by TM's newer M4/SR16 standards should be a great gun.
Might even be the first US rifle I'll add to my collection and of course get a Blackhawk Down impression going too! Yay@more gear.

I'm even happier to hear that TM will be making another SIG. I've been wanting a SIG 551 to convert into a 552 for a VERY long time now, so if in fact they do decide to make the 552 It'll save me some time and money.

YAY SIGS!

Marui are really doing a great job lately...G36, soon to be released Sig 226 and now these new gems. Now if only they'd make me a German WW2 MP40 I'd be a very happy man.

[Ballista]

I kinda wish they'd stay off the beaten path and come out with a Galil or mini-Uzi -- but, having ever held Marui's M4, how could you not want a more compact version of it?

[Jacko]

A SIG 550S would be oh so nice. I hope they do it, even if it seems unlikely.

[SickPointe]

Hell Balista mine's even MORE compact then that! Well without the supressor.

[Ballista]

yes, but pre MaruiM4/M16A2 quality. ;D

[SickPointe]

Shh... it may have a plastic receiver... but it still has feelings!

[Hadoken]

Marui has just released a promotional wallpaper featuring the M733. Pic can be found here.

Now...time to get me some 3 color desert BDU's. ;D

[Andy]

I guess this awensers my question about why the sig 550 SWAT has stoped.

Is the M733 on the assault rifle on the half life high def pack?

Can you fit a M203 on the M733?
