Airsoft GIs answer to shortages, what evike wont say...

This video is dated sept1, hopefully its not a repost (i searched and didnt find it)

Now i have long known about the shortage of chinese items being because of the factory shut downs... In the past these things have blow over but i guess its for good this time. However my question to you guys, if anyone knows. Is what is the reason for shortages of NON chinese items? Why are things like CA/TM and half the VFC line unobtainable? I guess that the advent of Heckler and Koch licensing, cease and desist orders, and the discontinuance of specific guns i like explains CA... But where is most of the TM stock at? And are the VFC scars just that popular/ under produced that it makes the problem seem bigger than it is?

For those who dont know what the effects of this are, this most likely means jg, well, agm, dboy ect will not be coming back around. Uncompany has recently restocked on CYMA and has new cyma items, so they seem to be fine. A&K seems to be relocating? Echo 1 might find a way to source out their weapons from some one else. They seem to be coming out with new items, but older ones are unavailable. If you have a gun on order, id suggest canceling it. If its something rare (like a agm WW II gun) you might want to hold out and see if you get one of the last ones... This just goes to show that evikes little PR campaign was pretty much a joke.

Though some of those guns say that they are manufactured in Japan, I can guarantee a lot of the parts are outsourced to China.

Just because they stopped for now making a particular style of gun, does not mean that it will never be made again. If there is a market, they can find a way to fill it.
