Starblade54 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Got mine a couple weeks ago. After seeing Kagami's review of his, i decided to test his theory on if at least the front sight is Real Steel compatible and here are the results! Perfect fit without having to mod the slide or the sight! Needed a bit of force as the Real sight is a fraction of a bit thicker than the TM, but that also means its super snug and wont be falling out any time soon. MOAR PICTARS i love it, the red makes finding my front sight even easier than it should be. now just waiting for a thread adapter to mount my Osprey onto it 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RSM Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 That's impressive, should stand it in good stead for 'at least a mags worth of ammo' efficiency when a metal slide is added. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacairsoftsn00py Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 It should get at least a couple mags worth of bbs with a metal slide. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 It should get at least a couple mags worth of bbs with a metal slide. ...and the proper temp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 That's impressive, should stand it in good stead for 'at least a mags worth of ammo' efficiency when a metal slide is added. To be honest don't most guns bar the TM 1911 get this anyway (as it is stacked to a full 25-28 depending on the magazine)? Either way it is good to know.

DrAlexanderTobacco Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Isn't gas efficiency wayyyyy higher than normal if you dry-fire with no BBs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Either way it is good to know. 'FireKnife' True - it's just that I haven't seen many, if any GBBs get to the 3x mag cap mark while still maintaining sufficient blowback impulse to lock back. While my KWA USP .45 has been a labour of love to get it looking the way it does and performance is adequate for a side arm range/accuracy wise, I'm quite interested in this as its essientially an updated USP - the standard accessory rail, TM hop, evident gas efficiency and inevitable aftermarket support really appeals.

Stuey Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Isn't gas efficiency wayyyyy higher than normal if you dry-fire with no BBs? In a word, no. Certainly back when I was fiddling with my 1911 it made no difference, if it is there on my Sig it's barely noticeable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FireKnife Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Isn't gas efficiency wayyyyy higher than normal if you dry-fire with no BBs? No, the gas pressure sent to propel the bb is still sent down the chamber, it just has nothing to push against so it is more or less (maybe one of those 1-2% differences) the same. Either way as RSM points out this is the closest we have so far to a Marui USP and given that they teased at one of those I am tempted to wait and see how that pans out but again would still at least like to try one of these.

Im going space Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Either way it was simply a test, at least i know i can safely take a speedloader out and pistol only without worrying about gas. ALSO, fobus EMG 20/21 fits the HK45 quite well with a small amount of up and down movement. Both belt and paddle varieties. These cost around £25 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kagami Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Pulse Japan has 'em out, gonna be waiting for HK prices as I have seen a lot of HK shops pick up all sorts of detonator products lately, the chances are very high they'll be stocking the TM in the near future. The pricing scheme is similar to the KSC/KWA version, $250~ in Japan means about 200 in HK shops. Also hoping for the tactical set to be released instead of having to buy twice for the barrel... http://pulse-japan.jp/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=3320&sl=EN http://pulse-japan.jp/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=3321&sl=EN Also I didn't notice before but, has there been any airsoft pistol with a functioning loaded indicator?? I know there's been dummy extractors/loading indicators on high end slides for a while but do they actually work like the TM version here? It also seems that it works only when the slide is back and not when the gun is cocked which isn't particularly realistic but it's still interesting... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 the XDMs have cocked indicators, and im gonna have to get me one of those threaded barrels i think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kagami Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 do they work when the guns actually cocked like a real gun or only when you rack the slide lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuey Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Well the pin pops out when the hammer's cocked, so yes. Although being 'striker-fired' (but not in airsoft), the only way to cock it is by racking the slide so it wouldn't make much difference. The Maruzen GBB P99 also has a working one.

DarkLite Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm still on the fence about this one. I suppose I'll wait for the SD slides to come out first. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RSM Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Personally I'm waiting for: SD Slide + Barrel set GunsModify Tritium sights Action upgraded recoil spring+guide. Appropriate length 6.03 assuming it isn't an already commonly available size. Then either a falcon of PDI W hold bucking and the foos'cappin can begin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Ive used it for a few games now, and honestly i think its the best pistol marui have ever made. I'm not going to be swapping anything at all, except maybe the sights. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FTZ-WildeCard Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I agree - it definitely kicks harder than my other stock pistols and the slide cycles just as fast as (what I would consider the benchmark) Hi-Capa 4.3. The feature I like the most is the ability to adjust the hop without having to field strip the pistol. Just remove the mag, lock the slide back and there's a small adjustment wheel underneath the barrel. Very handy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kagami Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Detonator slide set out in HK for 200, going to be picking it up. In my (fairly limited) experience I've been much more impressed with detonator than SD for slide quality and machine work. I've been hearing from the jp forums that the magazine uses the same valve as a desert eagle? that could be interesting. as for me im hoping for guarder to release some new springs and a nice polymer frame Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I agree - it definitely kicks harder than my other stock pistols and the slide cycles just as fast as (what I would consider the benchmark) Hi-Capa 4.3. The feature I like the most is the ability to adjust the hop without having to field strip the pistol. Just remove the mag, lock the slide back and there's a small adjustment wheel underneath the barrel. Very handy! Except on mine the wheel is really hard to move and a bit too small for me so I have to take it apart to reach the bigger wheel(on the other hand it has no chance to misalign while shooting). On the PX4 its on the side of the hop-up chamber instead of being under it and the wheel is also bigger thus it is easier to adjust. Still I really love the HK45 can't wait to skirmish it.

FTZ-WildeCard Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 My wheel was very stiff at first, but now it's easy to use. :-) Not handled a PX4, but deffo am in love with my HK45! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kagami Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Laylax is coming out with 6.03 and 6.00mm barrels for the marui hk45, around 30 bucks in JP prices so should be reasonable. As people might already or not know the HK45 isn't compatible with any marui spec gbb pistol so far that I know so a specific hk45 type inner barrel is definitely needed. here's the 6.03: http://laylax.wn.shopserve.jp/SHOP/4560329188279.html also here's the laylax valve that's compatible with the deagle and hk45: http://laylax.wn.shopserve.jp/SHOP/4560329188019.html Edited May 29, 2014 by kagami Quote Link to post Share on other sites
