I bet that by the time these GBBs are out, they will be much more gas efficient. I mean, the recoil is much less than on the escort, I'm doubting those numbers still...
Time will tell...
I still want one.

Oh so do I. I've dreamt about internal-gas GBB rifles (and ESPECIALLY an AKS74U) since I got into this sport. However I'm skeptical that the TK will end up being any sort of commercial success simply because it'll be way too damn expensive. That looks like a VFC or Inokatsu kit he's using which is easily CAD$1,000 right off the bat. Add his custom gas internals for, say CAD$500 (an Escort M60 engine is $850), then a rough estimate of $200 per magazine? Just not a practical skirmish weapon at that point.
I think one issue with the efficiency stems from the fact that TK will have to be using direct unregulated gas pressure. External rigs benefit from a regulator that will allow you to tune your output and achieve a much more consistent and efficient flow.
