Glenn Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 http://www.airsoft-news.eu/news.php It is sooooo likely that it is a TM kit. This is going to sell, assuming its halfway decent. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Hyde Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Link does not work, post the pictures directly on this site. Sounds good, if it comes in chrome . Link to post Share on other sites
MDK_Marshal Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Link is to airsoft news. You can't link to airsoft news pics. EDIT: Only a single, non0interesting pic... the text with it is: "Guarder: DE .50 aluminum kit 'Coming soon' type of news are both good and not so good at the same time. They are good as we know that certain product is in the pipeline; on the other hand, lack of details is often frustrating. Anyhow, Guarder announced Eagle .50 aluminum slide and frame. Probably for Tokyo Marui Desert Eagle, but that remains to be confirmed." Link to post Share on other sites
sheptr Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hopefully it is light, my DE is heavy enough as it is. I'm still debating if I should flog my handcannon and pick up something smaller.. If this turns out nice it'll help that decision out. Link to post Share on other sites
birchm Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hopefully it is light, my DE is heavy enough as it is. I'm still debating if I should flog my handcannon and pick up something smaller.. If this turns out nice it'll help that decision out. The TM desert eagle already weighs about half what a real one weighs, exactly how light do you want it to get? Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 This is pretty big news though, as so far we've been stuck with that steaming Zeke pile... now we get a steaming Guarder pile, hooray! But seriously, it can't possibly be worse than the Zeke. Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Got to agree with Utty. While I don't like Guarder bodies, it has to be better than the overpriced Zeke. now just make a 10" version.... Link to post Share on other sites
Revenge Seeker Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Finally something to change my TM Deagle's top piece which is cracked due to carelessness on my part. And they're not heavy at all... I wish mines were heavier but its all good. Link to post Share on other sites
Kirby1986 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 ha, the zeke slide kept on snaping the nozzle on my de. lets hope the guarder one is better. Link to post Share on other sites
screamin_weasel Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 i never got a metal kit for either of my de's because zeke was the only option. guarder is much more viable if you ask me. Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Nice to see an option to the Zeke, but if anyone wants it to be light, get a Glock 26 instead... If it's for the SIIS Desert Eagle, I'll laugh in all your faces! (Of course it's for the TM gun...) Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 HELL YEAH! i'll be picking up one of these when i get round to giving my rather underused DE a new lease of life. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I wonder if they'll bother to put a proper finish on it for us? Link to post Share on other sites
sheptr Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 The TM desert eagle already weighs about half what a real one weighs, exactly how light do you want it to get? I suppose that as a plinker/collector's piece it would be great to get it up to the real DE weight, but as my sidearm, it's rough to carry at its current weight and size. I really should pick up a 1911 for a more practical sidearm Link to post Share on other sites

Kirby1986 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 ha, would be worse if its for the marushin de. Link to post Share on other sites
msx361 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Im sorry but why the hell would you want this metal kit to be light? If you want a light gun then the desert eagle is not for you! Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I can hang with a SIIS as well, then maybe mine will be heavy enough to compete with the TM.... Link to post Share on other sites
Glenn Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Im sorry but why the hell would you want this metal kit to be light? If you want a light gun then the desert eagle is not for you! Too heavy a slide, and the gun won't cycle well. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris North Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Too heavy a slide, and the gun won't cycle well. Aluminum slide with a steel barrel and frame? Or better yet, to make up for the slide make the non-moving parts out of depleted uranium. Link to post Share on other sites
Catman Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I hope this is for the CYMA DE AEP that's just come out. No, I'm joking really Hmm steel would be nice, the slide would certainly have to be aluminium (unless you run off CO2). However last airsoft steel kit (WA 1911) I saw cost in the region of $900 - no thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Colonel Pup Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Mmm, guarder pistol kits aren't too pricey either. May have to make the old DE metal. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Mmm, guarder pistol kits aren't too pricey either. May have to make the old DE metal. you actually have to consider it??? i'd jump at the chance of any affordable and easy to get hold of method of give my DE the metal-on-metal clink that it so desperately wants.

Bangla_Black Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I would love it in GOLD! Hope these would not be too pricey, and will be of good quality. TM Desert Eagle owners, please take a look at my thread. Link to post Share on other sites
danr Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 this'll hopefully be an excuse for me to full metal-ize my 2 Desert Eagles that aren't currently Zeked. Although I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about Zeke kits (except for maybe the price), as I've had no problems with mine (I have 2 Desert Eagles, both with Zeke Frames and slides, one with the regular length, and one 10"). And I second the motion for a gold one. Link to post Share on other sites
