uscmCorps Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Will wait for the trademarked versions to come in. Till then ... I have my new Costa Ludus M&P Full Size and Long Slide guns to keep me warm at night. These CO2 versions do look like contenders though. Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 The tan one does look mighty nice as well... With a black backstrap it would be golden! Might have to get both! But yeah, trademarked version FTW, GIVE IT TO US! Link to post Share on other sites
intinerious Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I never heard of the WE M&P coming in .40 flavour. Besides the markings the .40 model also has front serrations on the slide. Why are AFC a bunch of rickrolls ? And why doesn't anyone have one of these yet, I need videos, reviews, pictures, info. NAUW GOTT DAMMIT! *Arnold voice* Ah right, now I remember! All the talk a few threads ago was about the front serration differences and you guys were wondering whether they copied the 9mm or .40 M&P Nvm then, I thought it was about having both caliber models, my bad AFC are *rickrolls* because they have negative customer service. Not ZERO customer service, but NEGATIVE Their gunsmith thinks he's super awesome and treats your tech question with disdain, the store staff won't care for a newbie's questions when they go to their store--actually almost everyone that works there treat their customers with disdain unless you're a friend or something (there's like 1 or 2 guys that were nice, but 1 got 'promoted' and is now working in the office, and the other guy also mostly works in the office as far as I can tell). I've held my low opinion of them ever since I got into airsoft back in 2008, but it's only NOW that the local forum members are getting ###### off at their attitude (the Chinese one that I don't visit, I heard about it from a friend though). I guess part of their 'ego' comes from being one of the oldest airsoft shop in Hong Kong. That said however, many people still need to buy from them (and they get a lot of money) because they are distributors of WE and HK3P stuff in Hong Kong. The WE stuff (old 1911s, GBBRs) might not be a particularly good sell now that the initial excitement has wore off (for stuff like the L85, AK, SCAR, etc.) but I can tell that the HK3P stuff is pretty popular considering you guys are all grabbing them up from HK stores and all the HK stores have to get it from AFC Which (pardon the rant above for being OT, but hey...NonEx asked for it! XD) brings it to another point. Remember those compact XDMs were being 'sold' at RSOV when actually there were no stock in Hong Kong a while back? I knew for a fact that RSOV doesn't have the XDM compacts because even AFC weren't stocking them in their retail store. Wouldn't be logical to assume RSOV had the XDMs whilst the distributors themselves are holding them back from the market by not selling their stock themselves. So, as long as AFC doesn't have the guns, the other shops in HK won't either Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Well that's tough *suitcase* consdering I just paid AFC for some spare parts for my WE XDM that I messed up when trying to install the TM NOVA XDM slide Oh well, hopefully they will come through. Up at RedWolf for USD $90 : http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Gas_Pistols_SMGs_WE_WE_N_P_XW40_GBB.htm I actually think the pistol has looked good in all retailers photos so far, except BBDragon but all of their pics suck *albatross*. So it might not bee to shabby. Shame WE insist on using those bronrse/gold serial number plates, looks pooh... Link to post Share on other sites
PreacherMan Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm going to say WE don't like you. My XDM emptied a full (cold) mag with less than a second between shots and it slung .28's perfectly at about 5 degrees. Saying that the XDM has needed tinkering to get the hop perfect so it's not the best OOTB pistol I've ever had, even if I do sing it's praises all the time. http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/upgrade-part/parts-upgrade-pistol/hop-up-enhancements/a-studio-hop-up-assistant-device-for-marui-kj-we-gbb-pistol.html Threw one of these in my WE G19 along with a Nine Ball hop up packing. Gun now outranges everything I've ever even seen, it's absolutely unreal. No problems insofar and it's been abused, dropped, run in crappy weather conditions, etc. Sadly, it does better than my hilariously expensive Detonator G19 build and that makes me sad Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Great advice PreacherMan, bookmarked ! I think for price vs. performance a WE gun is a damn good bet, with some minor upgrades and tweaks they are usually a great bang for the buck. I want to convert over and only buy WE but I require trademarks, semi-realistic or realistic. Not some fubar G or a blank slate. Exception being the M&P because I just have to have it ! Wish I would find a custom engraver to do this for me, and then that in combination with Durakote jobs = EPIC Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 It has landed at UNCompany now as well, $90 USD http://www.uncompany.com/pageproductdetails.asp?prodid=33567 Still looking good in the pics Tan model added to WE website wemodel.com.tw and model designation updated to; "WE-BB-001-BK-Big-Bird" and "WE-BB-001-TAN-Big-Bird". For whatever reason it is refered to as Toucan in Taiwan; Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Foxhound Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 The finish looks much better in nice UNCompany pictures. Externally it looks great! Why is it called M&P40? All the pictures posted so far show 9mm markings on the barrel. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Probably just confusion from the retailer. It is a M&P9 for sure. Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 CRW video "review" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIlB8lRSCz8 Too bad it's kind of dark but better than nothing ! Looks like it was lubed with vaseline in the factory, definatly gonna have to clean and re-lube first thing when I get mine ! LOL, just Googled CNC engraving and first hit was a local shop that does laser, CNC and machine engravings, woop, gonna e-mail them and ask Link to post Share on other sites
SSG-Levi Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 do you guys have a hi-res image of the trades or a vector file? how are you gonna engrave that? Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I have yes, vector files. Well, the M&P and Logo bit, the other text I can probably replicate close enough myself with some fonts floating around. Well, I would have to ask the engraving shop what format they need, fix it up, do a print out mock up of how I want the final to look etc. for their referense. I have no idea if they would do it, but I will certainly ask them. Up on AirsoftGlobal now as well for $90 USD. http://www.airsoftglobal.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=51_297&products_id=16032&zenid=kco5j800q3v7qpbbkbav1e4nl6 http://www.airsoftglobal.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=51_297&products_id=16028&zenid=kco5j800q3v7qpbbkbav1e4nl6 Gotta say looking consistently good still in all photos, damn shame it comes without markings or this could be a winner, looks and finish wise.

-Clover- Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Man, this "Papago" guy doesn't mess around. More pics of his engraved M&P's: At least the stock slide/frame surfaces seem to take well to engraving. For those that just HAVE to have them properly trademarked. Anxiously awaiting the release of the "little bird" myself. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 If the engraving shop I just e-mailed doesn't have a problem with doing this and doesn't cost me a fortune I will be doing the same to mine Link to post Share on other sites
-wigs- Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Most engravers will do it as long as you pay for the cost of illegally using trademarks. But it will cost you. To have my g23 engraved with correct trades it was 150- 200. The gun was 85 shipped so I don't do it. In other news mine will be here wed of next week Link to post Share on other sites
