Cesare Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 I don't think that matte type of finish lends itself too well to black. If they did a burnt bronze, that would look pretty sweet.Like this? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Yup. That's what I had in mind. Maybe have it two tone with a black barrel. Link to post Share on other sites
Cesare Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Or one could switch with a friend or buy 2 and make a two tone Also black tiger stripe wouldn't be impossible to make Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_komodo Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 will buy this when boomarms gets it in stock after their national day just to compare it to my TM Deagle with the guarder kit:) Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 The original TM controls really take down the overall look of that build. Hammer, mag release, takedown lever But other than that I think the Guarder kit might have the WE beat. We shall see Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Indeed. If it had matching Guarder controls...amazing. I think in the looks department Guarder wins hands down compared to the WE, talking silver finish at least. WE looks like a toy in comparison. But that full travel though. 6K posts woo Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_komodo Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 i totally agree about the TM controls, bothers me a lot... thinking of switching those parts to black ones or sandig them a bit with fine grit sandpaper... ohwell enough with the OT... shootercbgear and KY takes 40 usd for standard shipping asiaairsoft only 10, but im not making business with them again because of reasons..

renegadecow Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Yup. That's what I had in mind. I dunno. To me it looks a lot like the "gun metal" sparkly finish they use on cheap full metal springers. Link to post Share on other sites
The Disavowed Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 I am so far resisting the temptation, although I shall definitely get one in black, I really want to hold out until the silver one comes out, as I already have three black desert eagles, so a silver one is much easier to justify as it is completely different! Does anyone know for sure when the silver one will be released? Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 I just asked KY on Facebook. See what they say Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Now I need to decide on this or the Mauser. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 KY do not have an ETA on the release of the silver version Link to post Share on other sites
The Disavowed Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Thanks for asking them, that is a little frustrating that they can't even say it will probably be a month or whatever. Christmas release maybe?? I can hold on a while and beg santa for one I guess, although all the shops around me have got their Christmas stuff already, I was starting to wonder if someone had moved it into October this year.

hitmanNo2 Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 I guess they want to maximize sales. Stagger them like cars. Coupe, then a bit later on spider and hope people double dip. Or they just haven't made them yet. Link to post Share on other sites
The Disavowed Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 I just wanted to add that I checked my kwc standard size c02 magazine (not the ugly long one which does however look pretty much at home on the 10" barrel version) fits in my hfc mag well which does not have the cut outs either side like the kwc gun. The top is different so it won't work, but it does fit without any problem, so the acceptance of a c02 mag doesn't require any additional cut outs in the mag well on the Desert Eagle. 1911, it definitely does, but the Desert Eagle magazine as mentioned earlier is plenty fat enough to accommodate c02.

danr Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 There's a comparison review between TM and WE on FB (can't find it now) which shows a cutout on the magwell similar to the KWC that indicates a possible CO2 mag in the future. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=854274728076750&id=192366027600960 Maybe that'll work. Comparison pictures between an apparently broken Guarder kitted Marui and the WE. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 They are doing Co2 Mags for it!!!! Why else would the mag well be shaped like that!!!! Doesnt look like the mags are compatible though, thats an enormous shame imo - Link to post Share on other sites
Dimitri MdP Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Doesnt look like the mags are compatible though, thats an enormous shame imo - That would have prevented the use of that amazing GBBR-like nozzle, wouldn't it? The day people stop complaining about retrocompatibility with previous, lesser designs, airosft brands will start to actually innovate Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Last I checked the TM one had a pretty hefty nozzle, far as I know the largest one in a pistol... Until now I guess. I also wouldnt say its a lesser design, weve barely scratched the surface with the WE model so it may well turn out to be a lemon, unlikely yes but possible. The TM however has stood the test of time being on the shelves since 2003. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 So that's a pretty oversized cut out for a 12g capsule. Making it for 17g, 28g? Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Or just the usual 12g but the mag has side reinforcements. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Ah that would be it then. I've never looked at a KWC Deagle, Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Yeah I agree, backwards compatibility can be nice but after a while it hinders on big improvements, and selfishly I'd be okay with since I don't own the original... Link to post Share on other sites
The Disavowed Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I have three different makes, two are compatible with each other and the hwc is compatible with tm, so I have a few mags for them, but I would give that all up if the WE is the correct dimensions, and also if it works better (which I would put money on that it will).
