G&G's booth at Shot Show 2010 (Also includes Top Tech products)

Last but not least... the G&G Booth.
Here we have the G&G version of the FN2000, the GN2000. This was a prototype unit that didn't yet have the hop-up unit installed, so there is a lot of mystery surrounding this one. The FN2000 certainly isn't for everyone, but the externals were a good match-up against the real thing.

The L85 is just plain cool... It's already released, but it's very unique and comes complete with pnumatic blowback. This thing comes in 2 varients: the A1 and the A2. The version pictured below is the longer variant, the L85 A1. I didn't really want to put it back down, but eventually I had to move on.

On the first wall, in addition to the bullpup L85 mentioned above, we have "stockless" variants of the M4. Instead of a traditional stock, these only have a weighted stock tube to help balance the weapon (Thanks to RJ @ Chairsoft magazine for that explaination after seeing my puzzled look). There are awesome for CQB scenarios. Underneath them were some prototypes of the G96 line of gas powered sniper rifles. Some of these bodies are made from real wood, a really nice touch.

The next wall shows the G&G Sig 550, now joined by 3 other length variants (The 551, 552, and 553). The build quality and overall look on these makes any Sig fan want to collect the whole set. At the bottom we have more variants of the G96 gas sniper rifles, we'll have a closer look at one later.

More prototypes are seen below. Unfortunately in an image deleting spree we lost the display of the upcoming SCAR Heavy, but we can confirm it is on the way.

These are a mix of all kinds of goodies...Some are entry level plastic bodies, some are the pro-line metal bodies, and some TopTech AEGs with blowback.

And even more goodies...

Here are some close-ups of the L96 gas sniper rifle. No release date or pricing information was available, but the L96 felt very sturdy. We are looking to add gas sniper rifles to our inventory, and this may be the one to finally do it.

And nogw for the EBR. Surprisingly light for such a big weapon. We will really be keeping an eye on this one.

G&G showed off a lot of goodies. As usual, there were a little light on the info, but we are used to that around here. Here is a video highlight of all the 2010 goodies

Good news! G&G GS 550 Delayed one last time

by Armorer 4/10/2009 4:02:00 AM

The GS 550 (A faitful airsoft reproduction of the Sig 550) was first spotted in December on the G&G 2009 calandar. The date was originally planned for Q1 2009 (It was on the January page), but G&G ran into disagreements with Cybergun on the terms of the Swiss Arms licensing.

The first delay was announced when G&G decided to go without the trademarks (and at the same price point!) which would have had the GS 550's in our hands this month. Unfortunately, the new estimated arrival date is now mid-to-late May.

So what's the good news? Over this course of time, the negotiations have been ongoing between Cybergun and G&G. The conflicts finally been settled, and the GS 550 will now have the official Swiss Arms trademarks. We think the wait is well worth it, especially because the price was not going to be reduced either way. Bring it on!

The G&G GS 550 will set you back about $400. Certainly steeper than the average G&G AEG, but it's shaping up to be a total beast. Fans of the Sig design will be please with faithful replication and sturdy build quality. As soon as we have them in stock, we'll post some videos and a full review. The question that now remains: Will G&G produce other Sig AEGs such as the 551, 552, or 556? Time will tell.
