The production on the MG42 is postponed but still on the way, their donor 42 got smashed when their company was on the verge of being shut down.

Airsoft is technically illegal in China and periodically the government makes a show of raiding manufacturers and destroying their inventory and molds. It has happened several times with a number of key manufacturers in the past AGM, CYMA etc.
Rumor is that the owners pay their fines and continue their under the table graft and are allowed to resume production. There is much reverse engineer cloning in China with a wide variety of products around the world and lots of pressure to reduce it. Guns make fro great pictures and sensational newsreel footage so the airsoft industry probably gets hit much harder than most. Software cloning is a billion dollar industry and airsoft is paltry by comparison but looks impressive on camera and doesn't impact the economy as much when it gets shut down.
This all may be simple hearsay and rumor but I believe it to be the case. Kalps lives out that way (Hong Kong) and could probably share more insight although it may be wise for him to say little.

I've heard nothing new but I haven't asked either. I'm going with the flow and focusing on gear and uniforms for now. I will visit the Hong Kong Toy and Game fair this January and I will see if any of the Chinese manufacturers show up. Last year was a dismal showing because of the economy but I did find out about the MP44 then. I'm going to push for the M1 if I see the manufacturers.

Shove them for an M1! ;D Even smash their skulls in for an M1 if you have to ;D

A sound control mag is one that is auto feed, no winding or button pushing. There is a small sonic sensor switch next to the feed tube. Everytime you fire the AEG the noise is picked up by the sensor which triggers the mag motor to turn
