Sarge133 Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 ICS and CA aren't Japanese. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oops, nevermind. Forgot about that minor detail. Sorry Link to post Share on other sites
Runner Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Sounds interesting. Thanks for the news! I wonder how they got all that metal on the T89? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> By making it MAD expensive... I'll just have to save up, as that just skyrocketed on my "Most Wanted" list Link to post Share on other sites
BakaBox Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 What's the story behind full metal being accepted anyway? I thought ASGK members weren't allowed to do that. Link to post Share on other sites

Wege Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 It will be well under .98?.96? joules. Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Ok, I realize the stock doesn't take a bat. but does it open? (Is it hollow?) that'll make it easier for custom cutting or hollowing. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 i dont suppose you got a look at the actual physical ver. 8 box did you? when i asked what the differences where i mean physical properties, not functions. sorry, should have been more clear. what im basically asking, is will the V8 fit in other guns?

pokethepope Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 As for the gear box I'd like to take a look at it to see if it fits into other weapons. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i dont suppose you got a look at the actual physical ver. 8 box did you? when i asked what the differences where i mean physical properties, not functions. sorry, should have been more clear. what im basically asking, is will the V8 fit in other guns? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Am i going mad, or did the m1911A1 hammer not move in that video? Link to post Share on other sites
Catman Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Am i going mad, or did the m1911A1 hammer not move in that video? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It doesn't appear to move. Probably the quality of the video - My camera has a video function and I once tried to record my PPK/S firing, on the video half the shots didn't even show the slide cycling If TM did a 1911 without a proper functioning hammer...that'd be like...err... well it'd be be m'kay?

Lance Jackass Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Im sure it does, i was just confused for a minute there. Link to post Share on other sites
W.K.Shuridys Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Wow, this has really restored my faith in TM. The Type 89 looks fantastic, and the mechanical burst (gathered from what looks like a burst ratchet in the pics) is an excellent piece of engineering! The price doesn't bother me, I'll afford it somehow. Link to post Share on other sites
The Saint Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Wow, this has really restored my faith in TM.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Seconded. Well I’m sorry to break the news but it looks like the TMP, Vz and MAC10 will not be released until next year some time. But we will not being seeing them for a while yet. This makes me a saaaad panda... But everything else makes me an exceedingly happy grizzly! Link to post Share on other sites

Donut Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I know the TM M1911 is plastic, but does it feel plasticky? Has anyone held it? Link to post Share on other sites
Glenn Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I know the TM M1911 is plastic, but does it feel plasticky? Has anyone held it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Picking it up was very disappointing as it seems way to light even with the magazine filled with BB’s and gas. The Magazine is a single stacker but will take 26 BB’s and will cost a little under ¥3000 yen. The construction is excellent and given the opportunity to have a go I decided that it would be a small sacrifice to make to give you guys the low down. The blow back on this gun is outstanding and is a real joy to fire; the light weight slide enables less gas to be used in pushing it back while allowing more to be used to force the bb through the hop unit and down the barrel.

Donut Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Yes, I am literate; that post only talks about the weight, which isn't really what I was asking. Things can be light but still be metalic. Link to post Share on other sites

elrey Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Right... but does the plastic feel like metal? Link to post Share on other sites
FarEast Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Right... but does the plastic feel like metal? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No it doesn't feel metalic but it certainly does look metalic. Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Well, at least it looks the part. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Souske Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Wow, TM actually made a full metal rifle... that's a first. I thought Japanese law didn't allow such a move? Link to post Share on other sites
