in Manufacturer News and Website Updates

Tokyo Marui has just announced that their successful AEP H&K USP (Gun Only Set) is going to be released on 1/21/2008. Previously Tokyo Marui has made the AEP M93R and G18C as both, a Full-Set with a battery and a charger and a Gun-Only set without any batteries or charger at a reduced price. The AEP USP Full-Set is available on the market as well.

For those who do not know about the AEP series, Tokyo Marui has made the compact electric gearbox pistol, known as the AEP. An AEP does not offer any blowback, however gives the user great accuracy for a close range weapon. The AEP series also boasts a hi-capacity magazine (30 Rounds and Optional 100 Rounds Magazine) and full-auto fire. All AEP series can be customized with a silencer, scope, flashlight, and battery options. This is the ideal back up weapon for people wanting a gun that can be used in all weather and requires no gas. *(In Winter, gas guns do not work well at cold temperature and the AEP is the solution to this.)

The AEP H&K USP only comes with the gun and instruction manuals. Battery and Charger is sold separately. Price is 13,800 YEN.

in Manufacturer News and Website Updates

As promised, PDI X-Fire Japan has announced the Tokyo Marui MAC10 Short RIS Kit with a short silencer included. The RIS is the standard Patriot series RIS and four small rails can be attached on to each side of the RIS. A grip, laser, light, scope, or grenade launcher can now be added successfully on to the MAC10.

Also, users who might have suspected the original silencer is too large and cumbersome will be rewarded with the shorter silencer that is included also with the RIS KIT. The silencer is manufactured in SUS304 Stainless with the punching metal procedure that is also found in many automobile, aircraft, and ship manufacturers. It is very good for sound proofing and to reduce vibration in the material. The silencer is now short and compact while maintaining it’s purpose and function in CQB combat.

The unit is on a special reduced price (10,000yen), however in a few days the sale is over. The Kit will not consist of Rails. Extra Rails must be purchased separately.

More information can be found on the MAC 10 RIS KIT page at X-Fire PDI-MAC10 KIT.

MAC10 Performance Update.

Not to be confused, the MAC 10 sports a plastic body on the final product. There has been a small error in the previous news update stating the gun is full-metal which is incorrect.

The body of the gun uses the same ‘blast finished’ coating which is found on the Tokyo Marui’s new series of GBB Pistols and AEP SMGs. The silencer included in the gun has a slight rubber coating for the smooth feel. pdi boc mac

The gun is set at a 45 degree angle in the box to accommodate the silencer, magazine, charger, battery, and other small parts. Roughly the MAC10 as stated from PDI’s homepage "it is about the size as a WA MINI UZI."

hopup mac10

The gun’s hop up is a dial type system which is accessible from the gun’s ejection port by simply pulling down on the bolt. This picture shows the MAC10 upper receiver removed to show the hop up dial which located behind the barrel. What has been done differently is the inner barrel is a short barrel that cannot be visible from the muzzle and has a nickel plate coating instead of the usual brass colored barrel. This is to ensure the realism in Tokyo Marui’s new SMG. The bolt is also designed to lock when turned in a 90 degree action to prevent the ejection port from opening.

Pictured above is Chameleon’s own custom LIBRA Weapon Pouch. It is like wrap-around holster that uses a fine velcro layer that does not sound loud when you rip the velcro off. It is designed to hold any SMGs and pistols and is strapped on to your Molle vest or web belt. Product information can be found here: Libra Weapon Pouch

Comparison between the Tokyo Marui MP7A1 with the Tokyo Marui MAC10 side by side. Not noticeably large, however the MAC 10 does have just as much to offer as the MP7A1.

This is a video made by Chameleon as he shows over the features of the gun. Disclaimer: Video is in Japanese! Nihongo wakarimasen!

Also to add, PDI JAPAN X-FIRE has listed a performance chart comparing the stock inner barrel vs. PDI’s 01 barrel. Currently the MP7A1 barrel is used to test, however later they will test with a longer inner barrel designed with the suppressor.

Velocity Test
Mac10 (normal) / 0.2gBB（Marui）/ Indoor

The Wait is Over with the All New Tokyo Marui MAC 10 !

Just recently dealers and stores across Japan have been flooded with the new coming of the Tokyo Marui Electric SMG, the MAC 10. For those who do not know, Tokyo Marui has released two AEP SMGs, the MP7A1 and the VZ.61 Scorpion. Following it’s best seller, Tokyo Marui has announced the new MAC 10 as a full set SMG with the Gun, Battery, Charger, tracer adapter, Silencer, and a Hand Strap in one complete box. The gun is completely made of metal including the receiver and a few steel parts. The gun comes with a 65 round magazine.

(Pictures are from Echigoya’s Web Blog)

The box packaging is done in a Vietnam style era color which is also the same style on the TM M733 AEG model. It is a very stylish and excellent presentation for this SMG.

This is the MAC 10 with it’s suppressor fitted and the stock extended. Overall this is a very large gun for the SMG series.

This is the standard 65 round magazine supplied with the gun. The 480 round hi-cap magazine is also available separately. Surprise as this is the "Real Magazine" gimmick Tokyo Marui has shown us on the website. Apparently this does not stop the gun from blank firing.

All three images from left to right and down:

The MAC 10 set with the magazine, suppressor, and the gun.

Tokyo Marui MAC 10 vs. KSC MAC 11. As you notice the MAC 10 is a larger gun to accommodate the larger .45cal round compared to the MAC 11, which is a 9mm round. Simply it is a BIG MAC with a happy set (^v^). In stores soon!

MFI’s patented suppressor design is precision machined from quality aircraft-grade aluminum stock. The unit features a slick anodized finish and is laser marked:
Fabrigue National Gouvernement De La Belgique Unite Speciale

And nowCarry more ammo! This innovative dual magazine clamp securely fastens two PS90 magazines together, allowing for rapid magazine changes and the ability to carry an extra magazine on the gun.
With about 15 minutes of practice, MagazineParts.com staff members were able to flip the magazines and resume firing in less than 2 seconds. With more practice, sub-1 second mag changes seem like a possibility.

Yuji Gun Factory Benelli M4 GBB Semi-Auto Custom

Owners of the Craft Apple Work’s Benelli M1014 beware that this is not just the spring powered CAW Benelli, but with Yuji Gun Factory’s modified Maruzen M1100 semi-auto gas cartridge blowback model.

Boasting G&P’s Benelli folding stock on a full-size M4 custom (CAW 1014), this is every shotgun user’s dream. With the help of the gas cartridge ejecting system found on Maruzen’s M1100 series, you too can enjoy the realism of loading the cartridges (7+1) and firing on semi-auto leaving the field nothing but spent cartridges on the floor. The operation of this gun is exactly like the Maruzen M110 shotgun, in which gas is loaded into the grip, shells are inserted, and the bolt is charged prior to firing. The gun fires on semi-auto so there is no pump-action on this model. Yuji Gun Factory has been always known for his high-end customs of most Marui-based shotguns like the M3 and SPAS12 with pump shell ejection) and blowback systems and other highly rare customs not available anywhere.
