The recent heat wave and Marui plastic pistol slides

Even with 144a gas or equivalent, I wonder how some of the Marui pistols have been standing up.

Is that a metaphor for something else

TM pistols are designed to work with 144a in temperatures that we've been having, so I imagine they'll be fine. Though if you're using green gas in TM pistols when it's over 30c, well... then it's your own fault.

Probably take it better than your pot metal crap will.

Average summer temperatures in Japan are the low thirties with highs sometimes as much as 40° so they'll be fine with 144a

Though if you're using green gas in TM pistols when it's over 30c, well... then it's your own fault.

I learnt that the hard way although it was with a KSC glock. I fired and when returning to battery the whole slide kept going forwards and landed on the floor a couple of feet infront of me
