Well, MadMax finally had time to write up his impressions on the new SystemA products shown at SHOT Show.  Better late than never, I say. The report on the upcoming MP5 PTW is here, and the report on the Revolution mechbox is here. Both are under the "Technical Discussions" section of the forums for those who wish to manually navigate their ways to the reports.

Wow, what a weekend! For those of us who aren't watching Super Bowl, we have SHOT Show to keep us busy. MadMax (AKA Carlton Chong) will be attending the show and bringing us coverage of all the latest airsoft developments from makers such as G&G, Madbull, and PDI.  SystemA will also be unveiling its new MP5 PDW and top secret Revolution mechboxes. You can be certain that Max will be there to get us the news bits.

So stay tuned for new product photos and details, and rare airsoft industry interviews taken with an engineering perspective. There will of course be the obligatory gun pr0n shots of incredible real steel equipment we love to emulate. Hmm... I wonder how far Max can field strip HK's awesome GMG before they realize that a scrawny 130lb Asian couldn't possibly be a PMC.

It looks like ICS will have a busy year in 2008. The lineup includes L85A2 (Feb), M4CXP (Feb), SIG551 (Mar), FNC, FAL, Galil, SVD, and L96. One interesting item that is planned for the 2nd half of the year is a revised MP5. It will feature stamped steel receiver and the 2-piece mechbox from the ICS M4 line. Below is a picture of the concept prototype.
