Oh nice, at least bolt and stock are correct (finally!)
Awesome news!

Looks cool , cant pay for that yet till the Zeta Lab BAR's come out then it will be a tough choice! Anymore details as of yet? Real wood? Cost?
Be nice with a 20rnd stick or a drum mag?
Classic look.

DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING!
FOR NOW!
I pray and hope that Thompson Ares; NOT HAVE battery / magazine identical to M3A1 Grease Gun

With that big of a buttstock I seriously doubt that.
The STG'44 had a huge buttstock too, but it still ended up with a crappy stick battery!!

eheheh
Right
Yea, we wouldn't want that thing to be OP now don't we?
Looks Good, only thing is i hope ares will surport the product with replacement parts as when things break thats it.
I could care less for the blowback - cheap, tacky gimmick at best, noisy, piston-munching liability at worst. Let's hope they've been sensible and cloned the TM Ver6 without putting in too many ARES/STAR style modifications and unnecessarily complex proprietary parts made of cheese dust and broken dreams.
Still, I'd get one. then put an M1 style foregrip on it, a la M1928a1. Snazzy.
With you there don't want blowback
What parts are metal and what metal?
Free speech is expensive these days!
But they never do it right on open bolt guns...
Have any companies made blow back that is good?
That don't waste battery life and put undue stress on the motor and continue to work if a bit of dirt gets in the mechanism out in the field.
Also that works the correct way?
I would rather it was kept simple and reliable.

On closed bolt guns they get it going the right way, but that's about it.
I have heard the WE M14 works really well. I don't know what open bolt means, so I guess it probably isn't.
Open bolt is more for an SMG before you pull the trigger the bolt is held back so the cocking lever/arm will be back. An M14 is closed when you pull the trigger and the round is chambered.
Someone can explain that better I am sure.

That's right.
Open bolt guns start with the bolt held back. When the trigger is pulled, the bolt flies forward, chambers a round, fires it, then flies back again, extracting the empty case. If the trigger is released it stays back.
Most rifles are closed bolt, meaning the "at rest" condition is with the bolt closed on a chambered round, ready to fire. When the trigger is pulled, the round is fired, the bolt pulls back (extracting the empty case), then flies forward chambering the next round.
Open bolt is most often used in SMGs to allow cool air in through the extraction port into the chamber and barrel to cool them. It's also the simplest to make - Open bolt guns can have the firing pin machined as part of the bolt face, rather than a few separate pieces as required for closed bolt. There's usually no need for locking lugs, etc. as the inertia of the bolt flying forward produces enough delay for the bullet to exit the (usually) short barrel before the recoil shoves the bolt open again.
The WE M14 runs closed bolt, because it should. As far as I'm aware, all GBBs work the same way (open or closed) as real ones.
The problem with AEGs is that most blowback mechanisms follow the piston position, and with the at-rest condition being piston forward, they operate in a way that looks like closed bolt. Even if the same setup was applied to the PSG-1 it'd be wrong. That starts with the piston back, but it's a closed-bolt gun, so it should start forward!
