I understand that, Taffy, but as I type both AW and AH are still advertising their MP44s as arriving at the end of February. AH state on their website that they will notify of any delays. Neither appear to be letting anyone know about these delays, though I'm sure that they will be completely aware of any. If they are deliberately not letting buyers know that there is going to be a lengthy delay, and are still advertising these pre-orders, they are not being very fair, and I reckon that knowingly advertising something when you know it to be false is fraud of some kind.
C'mon, that's a bit harsh. By the sound of it this only happened today, i doubt they even know the full score themselves yet. 8 hours (At most!) is quick to update a web page, let alone anything else!

i agree
theyre probably running around trying to figure out whats going on themselves..... Even the HK retailers seem to have been hit by this
witness: they were advertising as available until today.....

Headless chickens spring to mind, after all they have put into getting the MP44s it's all gone to sh*t, it is beyond thier control and there is a lot of money tied up by them in getting supplies.
None of them expected this to happen.
Is it coz I is Welsh
Welsh and proud
Your all fekin bonkers
The retailers should have known from the start, after all if its 1 AEG or a whole container load they should have had a tracking number from the start, no tracking number or a consignment thats not moving & a rat should have been smelt weeks ago, 
at least someone has one....

After just reading about these recent developments.I'm off to get my cyanide capsule!!! 
What's more annoying is that some Yank retailers have managed to get there consignments and we seem to be left with our d**ks swinging in the wind

Heh, we have waited years for an affordable MP44 - a few more days won't make any difference!
I have had an e-mail from AH to let me know of the delay, just have to wait it out

Adds to the realism imho. You can tell people that the armaments train was shot up by rocket firing Typhoons! 
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
It sort of mirrors what happened with the real guns. The powers that be messed with those too and delayed their widespread use on the front line.

Lol, I've always thought that about the P38 pistol. 
Like most optical tricks now you have mentioned it it's all I see.

I know it's crass, but just for fun I've found a pic of an stg44 with a Kampf pistol underslung. I brought one of these from Pimms last year so may have a go at trying to fit it on. This has to be the first assault rifle with the fore runner to a grenade launcher underneath!
Dude, photoshop. The wooden stock is almost certainly from a Kar98, the folding stock from an MP40 or AKS. The "LMG version" has picked up the bipod from an RPK somewhere.
Cute idea, though.
Yes, you're right. All three wooden stocks have identical grain to them, so they're just photoshopped from the same picture. The LMG stock has just been cut and had a bit added in photoshop
