  1. Isn't this an international forum?

    Tanaka M&P M10

    The M10 has much better accuracy due to the longer barrel, then secondly, an improved cylinder pocket/barrel alignment design.
  3. The NBB is externally the same as the GBB Maruzen, but its a boring NBB....also, you can't rack the slide, like with the TM SOCOM.
  4. This may be a cheaper way to get range and power out of the VSR series, right? Cause I was gonna upgrade my old 'Spec, but it would cost something like $300 to completely upgrade it with Zero trigger setup, teflon cylinder, spring, spring guide, etc..... and I didn't want a 600 dollar spring rifle... I have one very pressing and important question: there's no argument that this thing increases the VSR's power. BUT, HOW DOES IT AFFECT ACCURACY AND CONSISTENCY? Does the fact that the gas bolt doesn't have the capacity and design of the Tanaka PEGASUS magazines affect its cooldown FPS dro
  5. I noticed it too, I'd like to rephrase that statement, in that handling many KJW FMVs (the epitomy of casted pot metal) the hammer is unlike anything I've experienced, so my impression of it that it's machined....not 100% on that. Let's say it is casted though, as the seam line is a dead giveaway. The hammer is still beefier and DARE I say...sturdier than the spindly thin one on the Tanaka SAAs and .38s.
  6. Marushin Blackhawk Mini-Review Intro Released in January of 2005, Marushin added the Sturm Ruger single action Blackhawk to their lineup of 8mm, shell loading revolvers. Being quite attractive in silver, and having been bored of my Tanaka SAA, I put in the order to Redwolf and got one for $160 shipped. I actually sold this gun a while ago, but never bothered to publish the writeup until now...so I apologize for the delay. First impressions: The Marushin Blackhawk has far more metal content than any revolver you'd believe, including Tanaka's "HW" models and the Mar
  7. Thank you; I can't wait to get my hands on the 2006 R-1s!
  8. Just thought you guys might be interested, but I fired a real-steel Beretta M9 military type last weekend, and although the recoil has got to be over 5 times as hard as the KJW M9 FMV, the real-steel looks EXACTLY like the KJW black FMV and feels the same (of course the real steel is quite a bit heavier though). Besides the weight, working safety/decocker, Beretta grips, and the small Beretta trademarks on the real-steel, one could really be challenged to pick the real-steel apart from the KJW FMV if they were both lying next to each other in dim light. So, kudos to KJW for making su

    Utg MP5 AEG

    Where'd you get this information from? Do you have a link and/or pics? If they really are releasing a Marui AK-47 clone for under $150 I'd save up for that too!

    Utg MP5 AEG

    Airsoft Atlanta says the UTG is a Marui clone with a Version 2 Gearbox, 250 FPS stock with .2 KSC BBs, and takes all Marui MP5 upgrades and magazines. The gears are also metal, not plastic.

    Utg MP5 AEG

    I'd definitely buy this as a low FPS CQB gun and plinker if its 90 dollars AND has DECENT quality. I have no intention on upgrading of course, as I only upgrade my gas guns, but I think we'd really like some chrono results, accuracy tests and reliability measures soon....
  12. IronWolf, The Redhawk's more of stable long range performer with .45 BBs. .34s are fine up to around 50 feet, then half the time they begin to swerve. Firefox, oh yes, I'm stalking you. In fact as I'm typing this I'm outside your bedroom window on my laptop, watching you sleep....so peacefully Silent, the M10 is one of the best performing revolvers I've ever used, due to Tanaka's new design that addresses the poor hopup and barrel to cylinder alignment issues older models had. The M10 is fairly consistent in mid-300s FPS (can't say the exact number due to forum rules, right?) an
  13. Didn't Leon use a Raging Bull? Anyway, the Python and Anaconda look nice, but are nearly useless in double action, and with the Anaconda, the gas transfer tube is molded into the grip frame. This means, if you use green gas, you risk rupturing it and cracking the frame.... Again, great showpieces and plinkers with 134A. Poor for skirmishing. The revolvers I know to last a while on green gas are the Redhawk and Blackhawk. DirectorCass (on this forum) has been using his Bull on green gas, but his gas transfer ruptured. Was later fixed with some JB-weld, but if this happens in
  14. You are correct. Double action means each pull of the trigger cocks the hammer AND releases it onto the gas release valve. Single action, like on the Marushin Ruger Blackhawk and the Tanaka SAA series, means you cock the hammer manually for every shot, and release the hammer by pulling the trigger. If you are truly looking for a quality shell loader revolver, look no further than the Marushin Blackhawk in silver, 7.5 inch. It's by far one of the highest quality airsoft revolvers I've used, and loading the shells is a pure joy.
