NonEx Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Saw several posts on Facebook today promoting this and stating that it is slated for release in September. For me personally I will be interested if they do a Glock 19 Gen4, Gen5 or Gen5 MOS. https://www.facebook.com/jkarmyshop/posts/10159642534504166 Link to post Share on other sites

icolater Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Something to get excited about. Might just have rekindled my enthusiasm for airsoft. Link to post Share on other sites

Dimitri MdP Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 It boggles my mind how the went out of their way to provide the most realistic Glock replica out there... then decided to make their magazines ridiculously light weight. I mean, at $500 their market will be mostly for training, what's the point of having 130g mags? Anyway, here's a sort of review from 4uad, these things seem to pack a punch when it comes to recoil Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted August 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 4uad is easily my favourite airsoft channel right now, their video on the GHK M4 was amazing too. This is definitely the classic case of can't please everyone, I agree with you about the 130g mag, odd choice and probably took work to get it so light, usually GBB mags are too heavy, rarely too light, a real one is about 80g empty and 290g loaded, will have to experiment with how to increase the weight a little if the whole gun comes underweight.

icolater Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Co2 mag will be heavy with co2 cartridge installed. Green gas mag looks like a converted co2 mag. Maybe they did their maths with a co2 installed. Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Watchingthat video it seems they have delivered on what was promised, even if it is a bit more expensive. Then again the price hike is probably down to what has been / is happening around the world. Look forward to geting my hands on one of these andhope perhaps they will do a 1911 in future.

So I'm guessing those mags are built like their rifle mags with a sheet metal outer shell and aluminum tubes holding gas. Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Think empty glock mags are even lighter then 130g. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 I looked at the official Glock website where they list the weight of the gun in different configurations; Without magazine: 625 g | 22.05 oz With empty magazine: 705 g | 24.87 oz With loaded magazine: 915 g | 32.28 oz Deduced empty magazine weight: 210 g (915-705 ? EDIT: No, you idiot!) EDIT: Well I suck at thinking and doing math, brain is tired. The correct answer is 80g (gun without magazine (625 g) vs gun with empty magazine (705 g)).

GHK 660g vs real 630g. While something like a WE is around 800g which is like it was loaded. FWIW Tiger111 has a pic of the mag from below and I was right: sheet metal case with a cylindrical pressure chamber inside. So in theory you can cram the corners with molten lead or something and get maybe another 100g in. Link to post Share on other sites

Wingmann Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Here's hoping they do something other than a Glock. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted September 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Here's hoping to all metal airsoft pistols in the future to not have internal BBU housing to maximise volume / recoil.. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 I'm guessing we'll see a GHK G19 then another Glock variant, most probably a G34 before branching out into any other models. Sig M17/M18 seem the most logical though a 1911 would be cool. Link to post Share on other sites
