I am beginning to notice that Cybergun is quietly brewing up a storm. Its becoming more and more apparent that they are working with a LOT of airsoft manufacturers. Normally, I'm a TM man, but it seems to me that Cybergun wants a piece of the action. Are these just my deluded thoughts brought on by my insanity or drinking too much Jack's? Perhaps, but I have been on a hunt for a pistol, preferably a Sig Sauer P226 in metal, my searches led me to one review of an XFive model (on ASC no less) of the P226. Heres the link to the review
http://http://www.airsoftcanada.com/....php?p=1252726 The box itself was tagged "Sig Sauer" and no other manufacturer on the box itself, there was also the usage of Sigs "when it counts" mantra on the box (which would be further infringement). The manual stated that this is a KWC product number KCB-70 and generally this pistol is considered to be a Cybergun repackaged product; Generally it was considered that getting trademarks is not as easy peasy as everyone generally makes it out to be, even in the pistol world, however, I've noticed that the trades are official on this one, with one exception "XFive" is not really engraved on the slide of the real steel pistols. It seems to me that rather than repackaging, perhaps Cybergun has gotten smarter and decided to work on licensing trades for some higher end manufacturers. Either KWC and WE are putting it all together or Cybergun is picking up the good stuff and putting official trades on it... That document that was linked kind of confirms my thoughts about Cybergun going after trades though.
