Marauder posted this at joecustoms.I know i gotta start saving :D

Hey All!
At long last, here is the list of Marauder "Gun-Runners" Series #4 items. To avoid any disappointment, had to wait until all potential production issues were settled before posting the list. Several complex designs, so the engineering was rather tricky. The list is 99% a "GO" for release. Hopefully you all like the items and can find uses for them with your troops! Planned avail date is this April:

Heavy Weapons:
-RPK AKM-47 Squad Automatic Weapon with Bipod, Removable Drum Magazine & "banana" ammo clip

-Gatling Gun (minigun aka "Ole Painless") w/ ammo belt & Ammo case

Rifles:
-Combat Shotgun (with full stock and "spare" shells that can be attached to side of stock or side of receiver)

-M16A3 w/ removable Clip (a BASIC weapon..nothing fancy just the US standard)

-"Modular" M4 Carbine with simulated "rail" attachement system (NO top mounted carrying handle) with removable:
-Grenade Launcher
-Night scope
-Regular Scope,
-Ammo Clip
-Double Drum Clip
-Silencer
-Standard Front Grip
-Front Grip with Laser Sight
...basically make any style of M4 you want.

-UMP H&K Machine Gun w/ removable clip

-"Take-a-Part" Sniper Rifle (5 piece weapon that can be assembled & Unassembled)

-50 cal Sniper Rifle w/ bipod

-XM8 w/removable clip

-Famas w/bipod

-G36 Assault Rifle (Full size, NOT the Commando)

Accessories:

-Briefcase - w/ working lid, can fit the 5 piece Sniper rifle and most other small weapons inside

-"Generic" Silencer (works with "most" Marauder weapons)

-Smoke Grenade

-"Stick" Grenade

Pistols:
-Walther PPK (Bond....James Bond)

-M1911 45 Automatic (with hammer "cocked")

-Glock Automatic Pistol

Hope to have images of the reduced prototypes ready in about 10 days and final prices as soon as possible.

As always, Thanks for your support!
MJ

I don't know about the "take-apart" weapons. In my experience stuff like that falls apart easily when you don't want it to. Marauder makes awesome weapons so I'm sure if anyone can raise the bar it's him. I will definitely be picking up a set when they are released. Pretty much all my Joes are equipped with Marauder gear and my Vipers need some new firepower :twisted: :twisted:

I'm a bit of a gun and gear nut so i love these new offerings and the AK from wave 3 impressed me a lot and the M-4 is going to be my standard spec ops weapon and atlast a standard m-16! those PTE A2s will be replaced by these.

marauder keeps coming out with better and better stuff, i am glad that someone is out there making realistic armaments for 1:18, without this stuff i would have no diversity in what my guys carry, great work marauder, can't wait to get my hands on this stuff, and from what i've seen in the pics the M16 is an M16A2, A3 was never put into production, but there was such a model made, personally i would like to see an M16A4, which is what we are carrying now in the USMC infanrty, its the same length as the old M16 but has the rail system instead of the old plastic handgaurds, makes it easier to attach tac lights and lasers and other high speed gear

John is aiming to get the whole wave out in April at some point so we might still have 2 months to go but i need the time to save anyway. The miniguns will be grate to mount on blackhawks and quite a few other vehicles. Am hoping that John might make extra ammo cans so that spares cane be carried.
