DWells55 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 If I used thumbnails, people would be complaining that they'd have to click. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe consider using 800x600 resized images for the thread and have larger (1600x1200+) images available by clicking on the images. If you have Photoshop, it's really easy to make a script to import images off your camera and have PS resize and compress your photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mi-go-a-go-go Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 great review Mine arrived from RSOV last thursday very impressed and happy with it as compared to my TM version I found only 2 faults that were dissapointing. 1 The paint finish on the gun was (to my eyes) poor, far to matt. This finish makes it look like a toy. However i got my 'T cut' car colour restorer and my car polish on it and it now looks far better. 2 I bought a wood kit for my TM from RSOV at the same time. The wood kit fitted the TM almost perfectly (a hole need to be drilled out a little). With the Cyma there is a difference. The screw which holds the front grip in position on the TM is on a slant and the wood kits hole is on an identical slant. However on the Cyma there is a vertical hole so a wood kit would probably fit the rest of the gun fine but the front grip would need a careful bit of drilling and possibly the use of a washer. My gun chrono'ed at between 322fps and 331fps so very happy. Only other difference is that lack of trades but with the TM costing me £180 inc postage and duty from WGC shop 2 years ago and the CYMA being just under the £100 mark from RSOV, i can live with that for a gun that can be chucked around on the skirmish field. Oh and as ever chuck the battery away. bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mi-go-a-go-go Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 oh by the way the china made one on WGC shops site looks identical to the cyma one, so it may be that are just repackaged ones possibly Cybergun. cheers Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stoatyboy Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Cheers, Answered my question on how well the wood kit would fit (must be a joke in thre somewhere). All I have to do now is wait for RSOV to restock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morugatu Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hey, I was wondering if anyone could comfirm TM mag compatability? I can't seem to locate any information as to whether it is or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
belgarion Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hey, I was wondering if anyone could comfirm TM mag compatability? I can't seem to locate any information as to whether it is or not. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have an standart mag for m1a1 marui and it's compatible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mi-go-a-go-go Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hi there I have tried the Marui Standard, High and Mid cap in it. all work well. In fact apart from the cyma mag being plastic and creating a wierd gap at the top where it hits the reciver, id say that the Cyma ones rock considering that Keith at RSOV is selling em for 10.99 a pair (ordered 4 i have). When those arrive my rigger pauches and Sten gun mag pouch (of ebay) will be full of low caps. So Now i have to wait for the next big WW2 event then die Nazi pigdogs Unless i decide to go with the Agm MP40, then die allied scum sigh so many (or mayb too many but how can i help myself when China ones are sooooooo cheeeep), guns so little time yay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
02sheslop Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 What are the dimensions of the Gearbox? I'm thinking about buying one to butcher up and make into a Stirling SMG, but I need to know if it'll fit first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zentaurus Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) very good and enjoyable review, DL. tx. pls. excuse me. i'll have to use "variable compression codecs" from here onwards. zT Edited July 27, 2007 by zentaurus Quote Link to post Share on other sites

02sheslop Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 No. Use a Ver 3 GB for a STen. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Stirling and STEN are completely different guns. The version 3 gearbox is far too long to work in a Stirling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UMGuy Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Any chance this thing can take a 9.6v stock? are the steel gears that good? Or is the rof off of a 8.4v, quality, battery good enough? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It'll take a 9.6v stock as well as a TM will - the bushings will probably die (like a TM) but the gears, motor and piston are fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turboleaf Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 So you say not to buy the Cybergun as it would be SUPER marked up. Nows it sells cheapest at $160, how much was your CYMA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UMGuy Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) I got my CYMA M1A1 + wood kit + shipping from boom Arms for only $210. That is prety good. The wood kit is great, except for the pistol grip. The gun was only $88. It made it through U.S. customs without an orange tip, Boom Arms ignored my request, and now is mine. The magazine works great, the battery not so much. I need to pick up some more mags from RSOV or gunners and a new battery to power my new baby.

Gooberz Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Any word on the FPS or reliability? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UMGuy Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I can't give exact fps, but it is pretty high. At least above 300, around 340 or so, but that is my rough estimate. It is prety reliable, the mag feeds every bb, the only problem is the terrible wiring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atomic Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Thank you DarkLite. A friend of mine wanted me to make a VN loadout for specific area games, and I always wanted a Thompson. I just got mine from UNCompany. Took one week from order to delivery. AEG and 1 hicap for $165 shipped. The knock off hicap is metal (I'm indoors, so I really can't spray a whole mag). I did chrono mine tho. With the hop-up completely off I fired 10 shots and I got readings from 360-365. I'm pretty impressed with the consistency. The AEG came a little beat up. No bbs in the box, but bb indentions all over the styrofoam (must have broken open). The scuffs here and there looks like the customs guys passed it around There's tape on every edge that says: FOR US CUSTOMS INSPECTION Opened and Resealed Mine did have an orange tip. The box lid is turned inside out for shipping. There's a yellow sticker on the box that reads: THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR MAINLAND CHINA MARKER ONLY SALES IN HONG KONG, MACAU, AND OUTSIDE CHINA ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED I guess that doesn't apply to the US Overall, unskirmished, I'm really happy. A cheap Thompson that seems to be built pretty well. Again, DarkLite, thanks for the inspiring review. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 You're welcome. Also, the latest versions on sale in HK seem to also have trademarks. To be honest I think the gun looks better untrade-mark'd but yeah. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaxPayne Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hi I'm new here and soon i will have a Cybergun Thompson with trademarks My question was this: Does the spring drum magazine works with the thompson? Because it's really attractive and 600 rounds might be useful... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Darklite, do you know if Gunners current stock has trades? And are the only traded ones those with ugly white markings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atomic Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) MaxPayne, Ledpocket made his own drum mag out of a hicap, which is probably what I'm going to do as well. http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...pic=6921&st=120 Edited September 12, 2007 by Atomic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UrPeaceKeeper Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Darklite Thank you for the review, because of you I am now several hundreds of USD less then I had before, I got the gun today took it out and shot it and with no hop I was getting a very very nice range. The hicaps, as you said feed flawlessly and to top it all off one of them came with a hicap w/ dent to add character! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
