Looks like KTW are working on a new ww2 gun- a Japanese type 96 LMG. Not exactly what we're all waiting for but it does look good.
I'm not sure how it will perform however given their choice of gearbox. :? Plus I doubt it will be cheap given the price of their rifles.

Obviously not - think of the American market alone for an AEG Garand!

I agree a Bren would be better (I might consider a British Airlanding loadout then (if I can get over the itchy trousers!)), but at least it will give something that will be easily converted to a Bren! The basics are there, it'd just need some cosmetic alterations.

I don't think the trousers are itchy, especially when going Commando. Just nice and tickly, popping off to a bush now I'll be back later...
