A contact in Japan that I know has been working on this for a little while now, and the fact that they posted it on their website and have a very nice picture of it may be soon to come. Just wanted to share it with you guys. Also, it is stated that it will be made for the Maruzen APS system so us M24 users should be able to use it too. Here's a link.http://airsoftresearchsyndicate.com/arsite/index.php?route=common/home It's not clickable, but it shows a good deal of the system.

It says for VSR as well in the pic

Looks like a cool idea.

I must say, that is exciting. Now I can have HPA AND spring!

Assuming it works for the Type 96, of course...

I just asked my contact, but it may be a while. He's over in Japan and OGK when I'll get a reply if I ever do until this gets cleared up, but at the worst case, I'd think it would just be a few modifications.

Any idea on a price?

 

[metallicafatcat]

Unfortunately no, but I'd assume the shipping would be decent from Japan and you'd need to buy an air rig.

I'd give it a whirl. I can see it being a flop or a success.

Hate to break it to you guys, but thats just a 3-way pneumatic solenoid valve that is biased to closed with what is basically a MOSFET on the trigger to actuate the valve electronically. In other words with some tinkering and the right regulator (i.e. http://www.genuineinnovations.com/ ) you can make your own. The reason that things like this are not common is that they are very inefficient systems when set up like this, and snipers wouldnt want to carry a really large tank; maybe not paintball sized, but larger than your typical 12g CO2.
