It's 100% compatible with Tokyo Marui and other 3rd party parts.

If you speak to the team at www.rsov.com they can sort you something out.

Its an exact copy of the TM T89 magazines apart from the BE doesn't have the fake rounds.

For the love of God.....read the review its all in there...I don't write over 4,000 words to make nice breaks between the images!

Sadly it will be the last one I do this year. Here some more images taken just behind my house:

Performance The Both Elephant’s gear box performs exceptionally well, the 3 round burst is awesome with very little delay between each shot. Semi auto and full auto likewise perform well, but the trigger seems a little stiff. The rate of fire seems very close to the original Tokyo Marui Type 89 and fires around 12 shots per second. As I said in the review, the weapon has been down graded for importation in to Japan, but with the down grade the Both Elephant fires at a very respectable 1.2 Joules (Still very illegal here in Japan). The range of the Type 89 is pretty

The piston is a 16 tooth version which will make the majority of readers very happy; this means that replacement and upgrade parts will be easy to come by while also allowing players to boost the FPS of the weapon to their personal requirements. The piston head is of a mediocre standard and also of a three part design, which is a first for me. To be honest I would probably switch this over for one of the spares in by bit box as the air seal seems very weak using the standard Both Elephant piston head. One thing to note though is the use of thruster bearings in the piston

To open the gear box you will need to remove the selector switch assembly, once this is done the gear box is opened in exactly the same manner as a version 2. Now readers that are new to the version 8 gear box need not fear as the 3 round mechanical burst mechanics are attached to the left side of the gearbox and need not be removed to work on the gearbox. Now the first thing you notice about the Both Elephant gear box is the awful amount of grease they are using. Pretty much everything is coated in it. After cleaning it all off I was very surprised at the quality of mac

Gear Box & Internals The breakdown of the Both Elephant Type 89 is identical to that of the Tokyo Marui Type 89, so I will not be writing a breakdown guide of the Type 89 but will focus more on the internals of the Both Elephant Type 89. Now probably like many other readers here, I have never opened the new gear boxes found in the Type 89 and without a manual to guide me on the layout or reference I was a little reluctant to open it up. Now before I go into the internals I will share some advice for members who are not familiar or are opening any gear box for the first time

The magazine release catch is surprisingly small when compared to a standard M16/M4 variant but owners of them will see the similarities between them. Players wearing bulky gloves though might find it difficult to fully depress the latch. The grip and trigger guard assembly is very ergonomic and very pleasing to hold. The whole unit has also been rubberized giving the operator a very positive grip along with a very comfortable hold. Players with large hands need not worry as I found this grip fitted very well. The rear sight is a block; just like the real one and I’m sur

The Iron sight can be adjusted for distance, although you will need to have the appropriate tool to adjust this though. The fore grip is identical to that of the Tokyo Marui Type 89 apart from one thing; the grip section of the fore grip is actually rubberized, just like the real Type 89. Unlike the Tokyo Marui! Unfortunately the frame of the fore grip is plastic and it would have been nice for the frame to have been made of metal, thus improving further on the original. Another thing to note is the venting over the grip is not cut out, this is to hide the battery but ag

Howa Type 89 Combat Rifle The rifle is superb and is a perfect copy of the Tokyo Marui except for two things and I will go into these in more depth a little later on in the review. The over all look of the Type 89 by Both Elephant is excellent and they haven’t missed out anything. Apart from one thing, the trades! Now I really don’t see why this would be an issue as it’s actually a government rifle that is only available in Japan. Also what with the import restriction due to patented technology in the Airsoft version, there is no way this would make its way to Japan for

What You Get The Both Elephant Howa Type 89 comes with very few accessories, in this pack you receiver the Howa Type 89, 1 high capacity magazine and the quick release barrel mounted bipod. Please note though that this is a prerelease model and may come with more accessories and battery charger combo. The magazine is a 350rd high capacity magazine, one of the first thing I noticed is that the Both Elephant variant does not come with the fake rounds behind the windows in the magazine. A simple thing to achieve that does make a difference to the look of the magazines.

The Both Elephant Type 89 Review As many of you are aware I recently returned from a trip to Hong Kong and Main Land China to meet with some of the movers and shakers in the Airsoft industry. One of the things I announced was the release of the JSDF TYPE 89 Rifle by Both Elephant along with some images of the prerelease production model, I also promised a full in depth review of the Type 89. I would like to thank Keith at RSOV for getting us this prerelease sample and his continued support and dedication to Arnie's Airsoft. So here it is! But before we sta

NEWS FLASH! ! Members of Arnie's Airsoft are able to take advantage of a special offer Exclusively for you! Right now members of the forums are able to purchase the the DYTac MUR for US$165.00 + actual S&H from the US! This is cheaper than anywhere else! If anyone is interested please contact uscmCorps!

That could also add to it, the lower receiver is almost a year old and as the VLTOR is my main weapon along with my playing style of hard and fast the lower receiver could have faded due to cleaning.

The phone will actually need the feature that allows you to read these pixel boxes. Here in Japan it's the norm now for phones to have them as alot of advertising or magazines have them for you to download information....my local bus company has them on all bus stops so you can get the complete time tables.

Yes, but there are still some requirements that the upper receiver needs to be able except a working bolt setup. One of the is a channel for the spring that pulls back the fake bolt. the other is a channel found in the roof of the upper receiver that guides the bolt along the body of the weapon. Both of these things are not found on the DyTac upper. Although there is nothing to stop someone with machining skills to make them.

Yes 100% sure it will as I fitted one in mine.

The model that DyTac has released is the version that has the forward assist button with shell deflector. Now this is the only place where I could find a slight discrepancy in likeness to its real steel counterpart, and trust me it’s minor. The fixing pin on the DyTac is actually placed lower than that of the real VLTOR MUR, this is due to the fact that the airsoft model does not have the room inside for the extra mounts and DyTac have had to adjust the placement to make it more secure and robust. But unless you are completely anal about things this really isn’t going to bother

The first thing you notice on removing the MUR from the box is the quality and attention to detail. Anyone familiar with VLTOR products will know straight away that this is a perfect replica. The upper receiver is CNC machined from one piece of aluminum and hard coat anodized, not only to protect the metal but to also give it some extra strength. Now the only way to actually describe how good this product is, I’m going to have to compare it to the real thing. Real VLTOR MUR DyTac MUR Real VLTOR MUR DyTac MUR Real VLTOR MUR

Dynamic Tactical VLTOR MUR Upper Receiver Review Now I must start of by saying that I have been eagerly anticipating the release of the Dynamic Tactical VLTOR MUR (Modular upper receiver). Being the owner of a VLTOR M4 CASV I felt that without the unique design of the upper receiver left the weapon rather lacking. So when DyTac announced that they would be making the VLTOR MUR, I was to say the least, overjoyed. But before we take a look at DyTac’s latest release here is some more information on the real steel VLTOR MUR: The MUR Upper Receiver The DyTac

real aimpoint, replica 3xmag from RSOV. There are several on the market & the Vanaras is the best currently on the market.
