Darren was kind enough to take some photos of the latest and greatest at Sanko, so here's today's arrivals of note, and a guide to the pictures:


sanko201: Young Fred and the new Sanko Brass SV slide (hand made - 980,000 yen plus tax). The prototype brasslower frame will be in the shop in a week's time once Ito san has finished. On this demo model Fred was quite pleased to how how a gun can be made to cycle with no slow down using such a monster frame (no expensive retunes either).

Arnie's WA gas gun Guru Young "Sheriff" Matt Dean will know the physics but they are lost on me.

sanko202: As some of you may know, not a few Japanese companies give out bonuses to staff in summer and around New Year. Sanko is no exception saving that they give out bonuses in guns.

This is Fred's latest toy a full metal (Den reciever with G+G outer set) SR15, tuned up with SystemA's complete box to a whopping 2.5 joules over the chrono. Total price for what you see (and don't see - in the gearbox, motor and tight barrel), 235,000 yen ish (excluding tax).

  sanko203: got spannered in taking it so not here
Sanko204: Posing with a real man's Stoner (and i don't mean 15 crates of Boddies Best)
Sanko205: The damage wrought by Fred's Digicon Target

Sanko206: Fred's other new toy. a 6 + joule (using .43 Straights!!!) Digicon target with a custom made internal tank/gas system.

You may not get many shots out of this, but she's got some range. And no, she's not for extreme airsoft (^_-), but for the target range of an overseas collector. 52,000 yen only to you sir - export only as long as local laws permit such velocities from an air weapon.

Sanko207: Don't even think about it Fred!
Sanko208: Tanaka's new "John Wayne" Tribute silver SAA 23,000 ish yen (You can just see the Eagle print which is on the barrel - and which I forgot to photograph)
Sanko:209: Power in you pocket. Tanaka's new PS Flat Side "Hogue" Chief's Special. Dribble, drool, slobber!
Sanko210: Not big enough for you Sir? How about the 91/2(?) inch Ruger Redhawk then? BIG Badda Boom.
