grimmah Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Hello, i just bought myself a Samurai Edge replica, and prior to paying the webshop i asked if it was the WE version as this was not stated. The shop replied that it was, but when it arrived with me, it came in a different box than WE tends to use, and it said Samurai Edge Virus, with no name brand what so ever. Neither did it come with any manuals or even an exploded schematics or anything.I suppose i could find an exploded schematics elsewhere online, but my main question is if this is actually made by WE, but sold under a generic name like the "Virus" for whatever reason? It does sem to be a WE pistol, but i dont really have anything to compare to.Ive tried to google it but the only thing i can really find is a shop in the UK, selling a pistol they call the WE Samurai Edge Virus CO2 pistol, or similar description in other shops. Any confirmation that this is indeed the WE gun would be helpful. Thanks and regards, grimm Link to post Share on other sites
Hopna Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I can't confirm whether it's a WE or not, but after some searching I think it actually is. The only gun I've found that's being called a "Samurai Edge Virus" is the WE. Also, as far as I know TM and WE are the only manufacturers that make a Samurai Edge. If it were a TM, it would be full plastic and it would most definitely be mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Link to shop and photos of packaging? Seems odd it would not be listed as WE. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Pictures of the actual box and gun would be helpful. Do know that WE sold this in two "versions", one in the usual cardboard box and one in the light up clear case. If it's not the usual box maybe it was the clear case version but was repackaged (case sold to someone else). Link to post Share on other sites
grimmah Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 My phone camera isnt the best but i found some urls with pics of the very same gun and box. I could try and take some pics of my gun and box, but its the same as below (except my slide is full black).http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MmSkhmILejI/UF7q6FnA05I/AAAAAAAAAXo/YAKkNSL77Tc/s320/P9220245.JPGhttp://www.dmdiffusionboutique.fr/2357-6223-thickbox_default/samurai-edge-virus-m92-we-full-metal-blowback.jpg(mine was lacking the joule sticker seen on this, but had a Made in Taiwan sticker)Again, there was no manual in the box, maybe it was removed for whatever reason. Its definitely not the TM one as this is full metal aside from the obvious plastic imitation wood grips (which actually looks surprisingly good). This is the actual shop i purchased from, but its all in swedish and maker is not mentioned. http://www.jbbguns.se/co2-och-gasdrivna-vapen/resident-evil-samurai-edge.html Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Looks to be a HK3P. I forgot about them. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I thought you meant the P Virus as in the P226 abomination. That does look to be an HK3P. Old stock probably as they've been bought out by WE a long time ago. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Damn it, this thread has reminded me of how good these look. Might have to buy one now. Hk3p seem to be WE but with trademarks, there was a discussion on here about it a while ago. Nice pistol. Link to post Share on other sites
grimmah Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 So it is indeed WE who made this? If not, should i be bothered if it is a HK3P? I mean it looks nice and will prolly work fine once broken in (the slide isnt entirely smooth through all its travel, making it not always lock open), but is a HK3P a TM clone as well?

BigAl Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Yes its basically a WE and yes a TM clone. Link to post Share on other sites
