In a surprise announcement by Tokyo Marui yesterday, their PR head, Deka Shimamura, introduced to the world the Tokyo Marui URG-I 11.5" SOPMOD Block3 Gas Blowback Rifle. This uses the same MWS ZET System that is used in AR-style gas blowback rifles released by the Japanese airsoft company. An NGRS version was released in early 2022.

Tokyo Marui have set the 26th of September 2018 as the release date of their Multi-Tactical Rifle (MTR) 16" Gas Blowback Rifle. This is their own design and takes in the ZET System seen in the Tokyo Marui M4 MWS GBB Series for durability. The gas blowback engine uses a large piston that has a diametre of 19mm, giving a strong recoil feedback. It has realistic operation such as charging handle, bolt catach operation, and field stripping.

The first quick review of the newly released Tokyo Marui M4A1 MWS Gas Blowback done by Mach Sakai. He finds the packaging a little bit luxurious, noting the attention to packaging done by Tokyo Marui. It has a slim feel, but it is rigid, with the Cerakote Coating giving the GBB a more realistic firearm look. There is no sling mount at the front area and conservative markings, which of course still has the Tokyo Marui engraving on the right side of the receiver.

It's finally going to be released! Tokyo Marui now announced with finality that the much awaited Tokyo Marui M4A1 MWS Gas Blowback Rifle will be released on the 13th of November 2015. Originally set for release in 2014, the engineers went back to the drawing board as they were not satisfied with its durability. They updated the design this year with the ZET System that emphasizes on the endurance and provides a different approach at gas blowback technologies for rifles.
