hitmanNo2 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Drum mag with M1928 receiver is fine. It's just inaccurate on an M1A1. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Meh could not care less if I tried. It looks like a Thompson and thus needs a drum mag! Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I still don't understand what the differences are As per above, hehe. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 The (real) drum mag doesn't slot in from below like the stick mags do. Instead, they slot in sideways on the 1928 which was omitted on the M1A1 as a cost cutting measure. Link to post Share on other sites
svman Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 No one would get a chance to notice the small inacurate details on my gbb thompson with an inapropriate drum mag as they would all be spending too much time hideing behind cover whilst i laugh like a mad man.

svman Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Well that all depends on how much witch craft we can stuff into the drum. 200 would not be beyond the realms of possibility but more likly to be 100. Link to post Share on other sites
CaptCalvin Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Why don't they just, you know, make an m1982? Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Needs a completely different mold for the receiver, bolt, and barrel. Maybe when the M1 sells like crazy (which undoubtedly will) then they see the demand for a proper 1928. Or they realize most airsofters can't tell the difference anyway and just slap on a drum mag and ribbed barrel on an M1 and call it a day. Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Doesn't even need a ribbed barrel or cutts compensator. Plent of m1928a1s had normal barrels with no muzzle device. Just depends on what year it was made Link to post Share on other sites
Korppi Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 It is quite telling to see the charging handle on top of a m1928 vs side of an m1. When one thinks of a m10 it's quite easy to see the inspiration. If there would be regular ww2 games around here I'd had tried to cram gbb m11 internals in an m1928 (no suitable conversion bodies though!) long time ago. External air powerred drum aw yiss..

CaptCalvin Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Nah it's just me being negative they didn't just do an m1928 and chose the m1a1 instead. I just prefer the m1928 drum mag or not. Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 You could always get the king arms one if its ever released. Of course they've said nothing about a drum mag either. Honestly the m1a1 is the model that makes the most sense, sales wise. Link to post Share on other sites
Korppi Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 But if ppl knew it would be gucci, surely they would rout for a Soviet sailor loadout I for one really like the second guys tactical pistol grip. But yeah, guess mainly post D-day is what's hot, rest not. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 But if it comes down to a Russian with a drum mag, surely most would rather have a PPSh. Link to post Share on other sites

Bovinedog Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Doesnt seem to be much material holding on that front grip. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Being held on by the power of a stiff upper lip, wot wot. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yeah. The fitting of the front grip had always intrigued me and then I shot one and it was solid. Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yeah, its a solid steel bar that's inside of a slot in the upper receiver. I think it's held in by the barrel but I'm not sure. Kind of a wierd set up actually. Theyre very solid, but they look like you could just snap it off. Thankfully that's not the case. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 For airsoft though, that's a zinc alloy bar for the most part. Seen a couple snap before much like old TM AK stock tangs. Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I would hope that WE would know better then to make a major external component out of soft, breaky metal. I'd bet they just make it out of some form of mild steel. That would do the job well enough. Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I would hope that WE would know better then to make a major external component out of soft, breaky metal. How's that hope been working out for you in the past? Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Generally pretty good. I cant say that Ive ever had many problems with the externals of WE guns breaking. None that I can recall at the moment. Internals, now thats another story entirely. Link to post Share on other sites
svman Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Ive just returned a we 1911 that developed a crack in the frame after only 8 mags through it. Link to post Share on other sites
