Gosh - SIG MCX Virtus PCP

https://business.facebook.com/Highla...type=3&theater

.22” calibre “semi auto” PCP. Close replica of the real 5.56/300BU weapon (I.e. looks like a tricked-out AR15, as carried by CO19 etc). M/v “up to 700 FPS” - probably with plastic or alloy pellets, but even then potentially a tad over 12 ft-lbs in US market form. The fact that HO are posting about it suggests an aspiration to sell a U.K. version.

A nice plinker with possible ratting potential?

Or just the thing for some cretin to get arrested with after badly wounding someone, promoting a campaign to ban this “military-style high-powered assault rifle” that can fire 30 shots in less than 10 seconds?

Discuss, as they say at posh universities.

It's vile, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was to retail at £400. Personally if I was in the market for a military style rifle, I'd go for the Umarex M4 or an old Sussex Armoury model. I think the Walt magnet comment is probably spot on.

I am sure they will bring out a Super Walt Special in Flat Dark Earth finish.

Ideally with a matching set of EO Tech, white light, IR illuminator, IR laser, folding NV unit, suppressor, and Magpul style fore-end. And a ridiculously complicated multi-piece side-mounted sling.

Interesting....this will be why they binned the .22 CO2 powered version that looked so promising. There was some youtube footage of a test example that had my interest, but then the .22 version faded away just leaving the .177 which had the output of a CO2 pistol. Still a nice little plinker...but not the gun it was billed as initially. Can't say I'm tempted now, really
