Brigg Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 thinking about it, there is one thing that bothers me about WE making an m1a1. It would be the first open bolt weapon produced by them, And by that i mean it actually fires from an open bolt like a mac-11, and not the "open bolt" WE system thats actually still a closed bolt. Judging from how other open bolt airsoft guns work like the kwa mac, and the kwc mini uzi, theyre very delicate systems generally. I would hop WE makes the valve knocker really beefy to avoid breaking. Or, really, I'd hope they just make it fire from a closed bolt and avoid problems entirely. Unrealistic yeah, but at least it would be less likely to break. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 It seems weird to me they would clone the Hudson PFC gun markings on the receiver. I reckon that is in fact the Hudson they are using as a reference with a WE mag. Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 yeah, its definitely a hudson receiver that they have designed their magazine and bolt around, since you can see there is a bolt and nozzle. If it still takes RS furniture though theres no reason to care I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 How are we's guns for recoil say in comparison to the WA system or the KWA series. As for the thompson I found it really easy to shoot the weight made the recoil and climb suprisingly easy to manage. I love the look of the thompson and hopefully we will see some more open bolt weapons using the system. Maybe a grease gun or even a Sten. Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Mars Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 How about a fully functional FG42? Closed bolt on semi and open on full auto. Nice and complex. Link to post Share on other sites
Imperator Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 How about a fully functional FG42? Closed bolt on semi and open on full auto. Nice and complex. Add to that the fact that the magazine is placed on the side, and it should be a walk in the park... not... Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Mars Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I feel like the best solution to creating top- and side-loading GBB guns (like the Sten and the Bren and the FG42 for example to stay on WW2 here) is to create an internal reservoir in the receiver of the gun that is replenished when you put a mag in. This has some big limitations, obviously. Some guns may simply not have the internal space for such a reservoir, I think, is one of the biggest. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Or just use a WA NLS ... Link to post Share on other sites

This has some big limitations, obviously. Some guns may simply not have the internal space for such a reservoir, I think, is one of the biggest. Well, since the FG42 has a rather big stock, an internal tank shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps such a system makes it possible to have a working P90 as well? Link to post Share on other sites
LordElpus Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 go read up on the we p90 thread, it's already apparent that is what they are at least trying to do.As to the M1A1 I am looking forward to some test footage Link to post Share on other sites

harborne blue Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 According to The Grange crew who are out in Germany for the show, the GBB M1A1 and M1928 are both going into production and will be out this year. Trouble is, if they miss the Euro summer, that's a kick in the sales... Will believe it when I am holding one! Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 AND a 1928?!? They really want to kill us through irrational spending it seems. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 For those non Thompsons fans out there, me included, what's the diff between M1A1 and 1928 ? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 M1A1 is the mass produced, typical WWII , cheaper, later version that I think sold at one time for something ludicrous like $40. The M1928 is the one associated with gangsters. Ribbed barrel, vertical grip, drum mag, top mounted charging handle, Cutts compensator, different rear sight among other stuff.

tquilha Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 If the M1928 is really coming I'll be a very happy (and very broke) guy... I wonder what a somewhat used kidney goes for these days... Link to post Share on other sites
