P.S.I. Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I thought someone might find this interesting... King Arms is producing a Thompson M1A1 for Cybergun. I don't have a link, but we should see them hit the market VERY soon. Metal upper receiver & outer barrel, plastic lower and simulated wood furniture. Laser engraved trademarks. KA 110 mid-cap. Metal gearbox, steel gears, metal bushings (IDK what size), ~ 390FPs w/.20 Link to post Share on other sites
adadqgg Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 KA became the new ACM? Lol at plastic lower... Rest assured, Cyberg*y still do NOT have the excuse to jack up the price. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Gah, I was hoping for a cheaper fal or a g3... So, Cybergun has now 5 thompsons? (Regular, "Gangster fail", plastic regular, black furniture plastic regular, and KA fail) Link to post Share on other sites

In this case something like "King Arms - M1A1 Thompson Licensed by Cybergun". Generic titles like "New King Arms Gun" really won't help anyone in the future when searching. Here's the Cybergun announcement on it to whoever cares for it: http://www.cybergun.com/fr/pub/pub-1/ Link to post Share on other sites
jkpics Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 King arms are fine with slapping there trademarks on stuff they don't make them self, case in point SHS gears. Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 My local retailer has said that they will be receiving a shipment of M1928s from KA with drums within the month. I dunno if that is news. Link to post Share on other sites

SteevoLS Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 This seems utterly pointless. CYMA/Cybergun already makes an excellent clone of the TM which can be had for a very competitive price. From the pictures, this is a TM clone aswell. They still don't have the correct receiver for the 1928, and are still using a plastic lower. Grr! I was really hoping for an affordable metal lower. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Well, apparently Cyma lost the Thompson molds in a raid some time ago, and someone has to make this stuff for Cybergun. Link to post Share on other sites
-Angel- Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Until they get the receiver right, both the KA & CYMA 1928's are going to look gash. I have a project in the works for a very authentic '28. Will be posted in the technical section. Link to post Share on other sites

Mike_West Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 There's already some ACM Thompson with cocking handle on the side, as opposed to the TM's top-mounted handle. Selector levers aren't much of a problem. Link to post Share on other sites

Selector levers aren't much of a problem. There aren't any airsoft thompsons with the cocking handle in the right place or the right profiling on the receiver. The companies are more content to stick finned barrels and verticle grips on M1A1's and call it a 1928. Link to post Share on other sites
P.S.I. Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Nowhere i read plastic lower.. where did this information come from? From the gun that I had in my hands. I was disappointed to see the lower is plastic, I was hoping someone was FINALLY making a true full metal Thompson, but alas they are not. I shouldn't be surprised though, CG is notorious for claiming guns are "full metal" when they are not. I also chrono'ed it so that's where I got the 390FPS vs. the advertised 400FPS (not that it's a huge difference). Link to post Share on other sites

The companies are more content to stick finned barrels and verticle grips on M1A1's and call it a 1928. A period correct 1928 would make a lot more than yet another m1a1. Preferably full metal, REAL full metal that is, not cybuguns half hearted lies. Even I might get one, to add to my 4 guns that would fit with the 1930s gangster look .

Bane Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Just saw this on the King Arms website http://www.kingarms.com/productpage.asp?prodid=1934 Talking to the local shop here the ones we're getting in dont have the cybergun trades and do have full real wood furniture - so much win Link to post Share on other sites

The General Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 *sees the top of receiver* sigh... Agreed, why is it so hard for them to have the cocking handle in the right place? Cost? Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I doubt it, I can already imagine a solution for a custom one in seconds, lazyness probably. Easier to use an existing M1 receiver than modify it to be an M1928 receiver. All it would require is to have the bolt cover on a vertically bent plate instead of a horizontal one... they could of even begged Mosquito moulds for their design? Link to post Share on other sites
-Angel- Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 The cut-in profile on the sides of the upper receiver is also wrong, 1928's were slab sided. The stock is also an M1A1 one. KA, why must you fail the same way CYMA did? Actually, scratch that, fail as much as you like my custom one is in the works. Link to post Share on other sites
