Tokyo Marui file seven patents for realistic gun sound system

Could this take realism in airsoft to the next level? At the this years Shizuoka Hobby Show, Tokyo Marui revealed several new products including the 'VSR Pro Hunter' sound system.

The few snippets of information that have been released indicate that it will replicate the realistic sound of gunfire via a discharge sensing system (transceiver) fitted to your airsoft weapon which sends the signal of the discharge to a receiver (shown) which will then emit the sound.

Features include 

• four realistic types of sound (one of which is a silencer discharge sound).
• 30,000 shot battery capacity.
• no signal interference with 999 sound units being able to be used concurrently on the 2.4 GHz waveband.
• four meter range of the transceiver.

While it has only been developed for the VSR-10 at this date, other guns are sure to follow. 

The estimated pre-tax price tag is a hefty 49,800 YEN, which is approximately £320, $490 or 380 EUR, before taxes and import duties. Obviously this product is targeted (pun alert) at the top of the airsoft market at the airsofter with deep pockets.

Tokyo Marui have patents pending in seven jurisdictions.

This is breaking news, therefore please check these details with Tokyo Marui before drawing any conclusions.
