It is whispered in Japanese airsoft circles that there is a jinx for those who offered an airsoft L85, they go bankrupt. So most stuck with the FAMAS or Steyr when making Bullpup airsoft guns. The only L85A1 and AFV that we can find are those offered by companies outside Japan such as G&G Armament.

Latest G&G item at eHobby Asia. The G&G L85 AFV AEG is the second model of the AFV made for airsoft, since the first one was made by ARES Airsoft/Star Airsoft Accessories. The G&G sports and electric blowback system and a 450-round high capacity magazine. The gearbox is 8mm oil-less and battery compartment can fit an 8.4v stick battery.
