Was anybody else disappointed by shot show this year?

>Mossmans new not-a-short-barreled-shotgun is retarded

>The maxim 9 has alot of potential but it's essentially a Jennings with a supressor

>New tacticool bullshit

The only cool things were the wireless laser sight and vortexes new eotech holographic sight clone


Where's the innovation?
>>
Was really hoping for PTR to announce an MP5 clone or a HK93 clone.
>>
>>32775357
The only thing that caught my eye was Savage AR15.
Just curious about how it will unfold.
>>
>>32775357
Looking forward to seeing more about that Hudson
H9 pistol, seems like a cool idea although im too poor to buy one.
>>
>>32775362

An mp5 clone would be neat. But, it wouldn't be profitable when you can get 9mm uppers for ARs, and the barrel would have to be 16 inches or else they have to sell it as a pistol and that's dumb
>>
>>32775375
Same. Very interested in the MSR 10 Long Range. Will grab one if reviews and WOM are good.
>>
>>32775362
Hasn't Zenith already done the MP5K clone thing?
>>
>>32775357
>implying im not dissapointed every year
>>
>>32775498
>$1700 for a stamped piece of sheet metal

When they make them for $600 they'll fly off the shelves, until then it's just trash

A glock 17 is superior in every way to a semiauto mp5k. Until they can make a useless toy the price it should be they shouldnt even bother

I thought this was an interesting read and would have started another thread about it but this seems like a good place for it.

tl;dr - shotshow is a media circus full of vaporware and unfulfilled promises so some youtubers are bailing.

I haven't heard anything about the t91 uppers wolf is importing. Were they not there?

>a pistol is comparable to a semi auto clone of a submachine gun

Showshow is just an industry show. I see it more of a meet and greet for stores and manufacturers. It doesn't necessarily focus on new announcement like how consumer shows are (like CES and E3). A few companies might treat it as such, but a lot of the booth just brings out their old stuff for maybe potential new customers to see if they want to order to sell in their stores.
>>
>>32775362
I emailed them about a HK33 clone, some time ago, they said the market was too saturated with .223 carbines.
>>
1.5k thermal optic of actually decent quality has me pretty excited.
>>
>>32775357
Non NFA "firearms" are pretty cool, though. I was thinking of making one with a shockwave grip, but it was too expensive for me to justify it. I think it's great mossberg is releasing one for $400.
>>
They had a lot of cool suppresses

>a semi auto sub gun is more useful than a pistol
>>
>>32775357
The Maxim 9 using a ported barrel to slow 115gr subsonic ala MP5SD was super disappointing, but that's been known for six months.
>>
>>32776484
It doesn't use a ported barrel. You are stupid.
>>
>>32776557
The SiCo rep I talked to said it does, so kill yourself.
>>
>>32776804
It's a 3" barrel terminating in a blast chamber. Check the schematics yourself.
>>
>>32775357
that sexy sexy kel-tec survival tho

>>32775357
I was hoping for more sand furniture from Magpul(vaporware) Instead, they brought the MCT bullshit and the wall of broken hopes and dreams.
>>
>>32775377
>>32775377
You watch the in range videos on it? I think as long as it's made and it's not a jamomatic, I'd set my sights on one eventually. I want a double stack, but I'm turned off by how everything is so similar and polymer, so this would be great, in meantime though I've got my 1911

Orin from Zahal, at the Gilboa booth was worth a look

biggest disappointment for me was leatherman:
