kerberos_ Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 But other companies make Marui compatible parts - do they have the OK to do so? Curious ... Link to post Share on other sites
[-=O=-]^{Woozie} Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Indeed they are not ideal for Newcomer, I totally agree that Sledge... But we can't possible make the decision for them, all we can really do is just give them advices and comments. Woozie Link to post Share on other sites
iloveics Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 isnt that why top mp40 had to use bellows, cos the marui gearbox's are patented. Link to post Share on other sites

z pie man Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 "Hey, you know that DVD you were going to buy from HMV? I bought it the other day. Don't pay HMV £20. Give me £10 and I'll run you off a copy." Get the point? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> now theres a diference between piracy and cloneing, piracy is give me £10 and i'll run you off a copy whilst cloneing is i reproduced the film and in my film i used brad pitt instead of leanado decaprio but it still has the same story line Link to post Share on other sites

Sledge Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Actually, what's happening is more like me running off 200 copies of the film, and selling them at a tenner a go. Link to post Share on other sites
[-=O=-]^{Woozie} Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 They make TM compatible parts becoz that's the most majority of users are using on their weapons, it will be foolish of them to create a brand new system that none of the other systems will accept since they will not make a profit at all due the the fact that the system is not compatible with the others, and they normally get rejected very soon.

Stealthbomber Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 ok then, if 2 car companies bought out a new car, with identical handling, acceleration, horsepower. etc but one was £2000 cheaper. which would you get? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is that supposed to be a metaphor for the situation with clone guns? It's wrong, you know. It would be more appropriate to say that one car manufacture has a dozen different models which are all identical to the Ford Mondeo. Some are as good as the Mondeo. Some aren't. Some have windscreens that you can't see out of and have the doors fitted upside down. Some have engines that don't work properly so the top speed is only 45mph. Some are perfectly acceptable though. The only problem is that you'll be buying your car sight-unseen and you're just going to have to hope for the best. Me, I'd just spend the extra money and buy the Authentic Mondeo. It's all very well saying clone guns are good for beginners because they're cheap and almost as good but I'm stunned at how blinkered people can be. There's a 150 page long thread about UTG MP5s and an 80 page thread about the Warrior L96. Those threads aren't full of praise for the guns, you know. Link to post Share on other sites
iloveics Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 well if everyone was completely loyal to marui, we would have a monopoly. and you think marui are very nice and wouldnt exploit that? Link to post Share on other sites
Docv400 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm not 'up' on Airsoft history, I've only been doing it for around 18 months. Was there this 'fuss' when the first clones came out? I don't even know what the first clone company was, was it CA, ICS, other? Or did it not seem to matter because they were a similar price? There was a similar topic recently, bringing up all the same points pretty much. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Yes, before Chinese companies, CA, ICS, G&G, G&P, STAR, etc didn't exist. OH SHI- Link to post Share on other sites

[-=O=-]^{Woozie} Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Departed = a RipOff version of Chinese Movie- Internal Affair, Which I still think Chinese Version is better Stealthbomber: Yes I do agree that Chinese manufactor ( Clones ) do tend to have the lack of Quaility Control, aber there are also problems on TM and CA guns as well.... CA EARLY MP5 handguard being fraglie is one of the examples... TM.... not sure they do have much problem really! Woozie Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Departed = a RipOff version of Chinese Movie- Internal Affair, Yeah, IA is pretty good but I saw IA2 first so I didn't really enjoy it so much. Link to post Share on other sites
iloveics Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 ok hardboiledcop. marui is a business, correct? a business exsists to make money. look at microsoft, they have a monopoly and windows is a pile of *beep* Link to post Share on other sites
