Announcing: The Smith & Wesson Collection!


Guest

426 views

Wow, 'Hippy got some actual Airsoft stuff to talk about, huh?? wink.gif Yeah I know its been lacking lately, despite the purchases I have actually been making (I did mention that WA Beretta Scoremaster I got, didn't I? Well its beautiful, so there tongue.gif ).

 

So now I have some truly wonderful news; thanks to the mighty Snowman (No, not my local Coke-dealer busted_cop.gif ) I will finally have one of the guns I had forever written off as unattainable - the much-prized and highly sought-after Maruzen Skorpion, A.K.A. the VZ61...

 

...What's that comic-book-guy quote from The Simpsons? - "There is no emoticon for what I am feeling right now!!" laugh.gif Yeah I'm pretty chuffed. I considered deploying the ohmy.gif smiley, followed by the biggrin.gif and the gun.gif and then the bleh.gif smiley, finishing off with a rather cheeky showoff.gif , but then I realised that I would be running out of 'em for the whole entry as its 10-per-post only, and thats about all of them already wink.gif Well now it is, anyway.

 

Well we'll just have to live without them for a little while, won't we? Good good.

 

Well I have even more good news today because the Smith & Wesson Collection now nears completion, as the KSC M945 is out for delivery today after I paid the Villainous Autocratic Theft, err, I mean Value Added Tax, on the parcel yesterday via the charming Parcel Force. More on this later in fact...

 

 

But for now I can say that with the M945 the S&W lot is pretty comprehensive; and while by no means being complete, I label it as such because it covers all the necessary areas of their range as far as I see it; std-size automatics, compact autos, famous-model copies, and then large, medium and small-framed revolvers. So as it stands the lot now (including what arrives today) comprises;

 

M36 `Chief’s Special` .38 (Tanaka)

M65 FBI .357 (Tanaka)

M629 .44 (Tanaka)

M500 .500 (Tanaka)

M4013 TSW .40 (Western Arms)

M945 .*** [9mm?] (KSC)

SW1911 DX .45 (Western Arms)

(Please pardon the low-res pics from my phone)

 

 

Which makes me happy to have a fairly comprehensive range to display, and should make a fine addition to The Armoury when I eventually get around to building it. In fact I may even have more Smith & Wesson guns lurking in the far corners of my collection, but until I properly catalogue them all and have the full details of each laid out then I honestly wont know for sure!

Also in this package comes a Colt Police Positive revolver – a favourite since watching gangster films of the 1920s/1930s era (or at least set around the ‘30s) – which should give me incentive enough to try and get a decent Colt collection together as well (plus giving me the perfect excuse to buy a Tanaka Python).

And also, the first couple of bits of Tan gear I am getting. I do believe I’ll be starting some sick kind of Tan fetish soon as I’ve spotted a whole load of bits and bobs that I think will be extremely useful, but more importantly will make me look coordinated.

 

Did I really say that? Christ I must be getting weirder/geardier than I thought.

Still waiting on the boss to find it in his house/car/the casino - i.e. no, its been lost laugh.gif

 

Wanting sooo many pictures to be done right now, I'll have to go through the convoluted process of using another camera that can onmly work with an SD card and using one machine that reads the card and then emailing them through to the PC that has PhotoShop on, and... its kinda a tedious process basically rolleyes.gif

 

Will have picstuffs soon enough though, I'm sure smile.gif

Ah, so you already have one huh? Fair play, twin Skorpions are just about the best dualies combo I could think of; if only there was another floating around too and I'd have that as well.

 

Unless you got there first... wink.gif

 

 

BTW I 'soft not from my armchair but from behind shrubbery and sandbag - I play dude, just haven't been for a month or two wink.gif

Well I'm not planning on skirmishing with it as its a little bit too fragile and rare to risk it, and I have other options if I want a machinepistol, so I may not have real use for them all in the end, and I wont know which way it goes until I've played with it for a while, so harass me in a couple of weeks and we'll see where we are smile.gif

 

I would only spare one mag, if any, though. Given the rarity I would have to keep a spare just in case!

Quality, thanks dude smile.gif Looks like Snowie got a pretty good deal both ways on this one, hehehe. I don't mind in the slightest, its worth what I paid for it to me and more (and no, I won't disclose the amount in question wink.gif )

 

Fantastic news about the green gas as well, thank you smile.gif
