yannourugby Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hello all ! Firstly, I'm a french dude so sorry for the grammar mistakes. Yesterday, I bougth a Tanaka m13 revolver FBI special and the model is quite special and I'm looking for some informations about it. I can remove the sell of the cylinder and according to the saler, there is a hop up inside. Besides, the revolver came directly from Japan. Many thanks, Best regards Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 First, it's a Marushin, second, even if there is hop-up, it's fixed. Unless in prehistoric times Tanaka made shell-fed revolvers that weren't based on the Cassiopeia charged shells, but I can't say I ever heard about those. Tanaka has their excellent Pegasus system, in which the gas reservoir is in the cylinder, not in the grip. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 First, it's a Marushin, second, even if there is hop-up, it's fixed. Says Tanaka works on the manual? As for the hop, look above the inner barrel - There should be a tiny little hole with a grub screw in it; You'll need an ultrasmall allen key to adjust it. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Nope, definitely Tanaka. Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and 6mm bbs were still a fad, Tanaka Works released replicas eerily similar to today's Marushin X Cartridge line. That said, I don't think anyone here is that old to shed light on that piece. Link to post Share on other sites
yannourugby Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Thanks for reply It's not a marushin because Tanaka marking are engraved on the side of the gun. And I have not already received the gun, the saler will send it on wednesday. I wanted to know if someone else know something about is shooting capacity and when it has been produce?

yannourugby Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 And if you have had this kind of gun before Simba, How did it shoot? Link to post Share on other sites
Simba4793 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 And if you have had this kind of gun before Simba, How did it shoot? Mine shot very hard and loud. It was extremely intimidating. Because it was co2 the FPS was completely unpredictable. It could shoot anywhere from 200fps all the way to 700. I even crono'd it for 900 once. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Uh, are you sure you have a ye olde Tanaka and not a Win Gun revolver? Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Wow, can you imagine if the old Tanaka's ran off C02 and could do 900fps The Japanese authorities would've had a field day! Link to post Share on other sites
yannourugby Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I don't think that Tanaka have made CO2 revolver, I hope mine shoots about 200/250 fps Link to post Share on other sites
you can`t shoot me Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I had one of the orginal versions of the Tanaka saa which used gas in the grip and had removable shells. Unfortunately it was very light with cheap plastic especially compared with the quality of there newer models. It also only fired around 170fps and had no hop up at all.

Swerve Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Isn't it very similar to this one? http://www.justpistols.co.uk/m36.htm Link to post Share on other sites
you can`t shoot me Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 That just a standard newer tanaka pegasus model, the one he is asking about above is an old orginal tanaka model with gas in the grip and removable shells. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'd put that thing in a display case anyway. It's a museum piece. Even if I shot a MGC P7 a few years back. Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Haha, thinking of skirmishing a P7M13 myself. One question, why do you call it a M13 the instructions clearly say it's an M10. Though in airsoft it's irrelavent the M13 was simply a .357 version of the .38 M10. Link to post Share on other sites
yannourugby Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I call it this way because Tanaka call it like this too. If you look on any airsoft website ( WGC, ehobby, Uncompagny...) this gun is called "Tanaka m13 FBI special". However, this ex owner have change the original grip, that's why it doesn't look exactly the same as the shop one. When I'm looking for "m10" on internet, I have found shorter or longer version Link to post Share on other sites
