Ok guys, I didn't want to litter up the AGM PPSH41 thread so I am starting this thread in hopes of one of the current companies manufacturing WWII Airsoft guns will see it. I know some of them look on these boards so maybe it will do some good.
So I hope many of you agree on this with me: The two Airsoft Weapons we want made the most are an Electric M1 Garand and a Spring magazine loading(non shell ejecting) Mauser Kar98
Whoever agrees post below and let those companies see!

Great idea SGTTOM!
I think those two (Non shell ejecting Kar 98 and Garand AEG) would be the best start for our hobby although I think the most successful new offerings commercially would be an AEG Carbine and Grease gun. Small size and potentially high rate of fire would provide broader airsoft appeal. An AEG Garand continues to be a natural of course and really should be taken on by someone. (Major manufacturer) A BAR affordably priced in an AEG would do extremely well and a bolt action non shell ejecting rifle in all the Mauser variants would be smart. The same manufacturer could crank out a Kar, Springfield, Mosin Nagant and the Japanese variant using all the same base components much as hobbyists do with their customs. The VSR clones being the most logical.
Those are my thoughts if I were advising a company. Did I mention a G 43? Since the world seems fascinated by German weapons. I think we are on the cusp of finally seeing such things materialize (although I have been saying that for five years) The M4, SCAR MP5 and AK variants, newly introduced are truly getting tiresome!

Thanks for the support 2nd Bat. And guys I appreciate your opinion but lets try not to get off topic and stick together on certain guns so it won't seem all over the place and confusing for the companies that might view this thread.
So please everyone post on here and show them! For those who want other guns still post if a Garand and Kar98 are made and are successful it will show them rifles can sell well. Thanks guys!

If any company came out with an affordable K98 springer and an AEG M1 Garand it would be eaten up by the market. Everyone and their grandmum would buy them. I know I would purchase a few of each XD

Garand and K98.
'Nuff said!
I think WW2 AS will explode if these guns are produced.

I am with everyone on the Garand and K98 idea but I like to see a Carcano, I rather not have to get one custom made if I ever in the future do an Italian impression.

Guys the main reason I choose both Garand and Kar98 is so it will give both of the main impressions something to start with. If we can have a cheap realistic option for the average WWII Airsofter it will add way more realism into the hobby. Instead of the Thompson vs MP40 it can become mainly the Kar98 vs the M1 Garand. All the other guns are just downhill.
A Carbine would be good though as kalbs said it would give us a small gearbox for many projects.

It is far more important to cement the main rifles if you really want to look towards the greater good. Things like the Carcano and Springfield would be neat, but prioritizing them over things like M1 Garands, Mosin Nagants, or Enfields strikes me as short sighted. This is especially noticeable on the battlefield where the vast majority of our players favor sub machine guns, which is something we would really like to change. I like seeing unique weapons a lot, but in the long run they will do less to drive WW2 airsoft.

AEG M1 Garand and springer Mauser Kar 98 would be a great sucess, but I also belive a springer version of both the Enfield Mk4 and the Mosin Nagant M1891 will be just as sucessfull

I agree. We need the standard issue rifles for the main combatants (US, UK, German, USSR, Japan, etc.)

You'd really want those over a M1 Garand, Lee Enfield, and Mosin? The only way I'd get a shell ejecting Kar98 is if the shells were under a dollar each.(50 cents) And the rifle shot 350fps with 20grams out of the box. Otherwise I don't think it would be worth it.

affordable Garand and Kar98 all the way. It would be the backbone of all WWII airsofting and other guns would just add on. My opinion anyways.

Ya Garands an kar98s would be cool, but a BAR, G43, fg42, and a correct m1928 thompson now that would be awesome.
