Maybe not a dreamer as such but the line "basically the real thing" made me smirk somewhat.

This evenings entertainment Before and after

Oh, that's believable. It's the risible comparison with a pot metal (excuse me, "stamped steel") toy gun that's making us chuckle. Cheer up, you've brought some joy to our day.

Well...

A magnet will resolve that query very fast.

Figured seeing as i've seen a couple of reviews up on here and the makarov isnt one of them i'd put in my tuppence about the last 6 months of ownership. Make/model- WE Makarov Pmm Fps- 0.7-2.5j (i'll come back to that bit later) Hop up- proprietary design but takes standard marui style rubbers no problem. Mag capacity- not much, haven't counted directly but "theoretically" about 15 rounds Full metal construction with plastic handguards. So this little beauty is a bit of an oddball and odds are if you're buying this it's more than likely as part of a russian themed loadout and you're not a fan of the tokarev. The good news is that in the lottery of oddball pistols this is one of the ones that's actually a good shooter in its own right. In the box you'll get the pistol, mag, suppressor and a barrel extension, now much like the mk23 if you drop that barrel extension on or swap to a longer inner barrel beware that you're gonna get some raised eyebrows at the chrono as this thing is set up really for a short barrel. I guess if you're mad you could make a pocket sniper. Mine didnt come with the barrel extension but from what i've read thats no bad thing as it pushes your fps through the roof and your accuracy through the floor. The suppressor is standard we threading so you can drop it on most of their other guns easily. Internals wise it's standard enough, 15mm bbu which on such a small lightly sprung slide means in the warm weather it's got a lovely snappy kick almost comparable to a co2 gun, although cold weather performance is somewhat lacklustre but then i've never met a we that liked the cold (in its defence when it couldnt keep up it was also cold enough to stop a hicapa in its tracks as well) The hop unit is awesome, one of the better designs i've seen, think a pro-win style rotary hop adapted to a pistol. Out of the box it's ok for .2's but will struggle to lift .3's but if you drop a maple leaf and a nub made out of a square of aeg hop then you can lob .4's at sub 1j which is hilarious (and effective) Gas effeciency is greatly dependant on the weather, a couple of mags in the warm turns to half a mag if your lucky in the cold. They're small mags so not much gas. Generally i down-load them as lobbing heavy ammo from a pistol always murders the gas effeciency. Features wise the safety is a bit finnicky, in theory it's a slide mounted safety/decocker but its very easy to pop her just out of battery when engaging which will mean it doesnt work, i tend to opt for either just not using it or manually dropping to half-cock for a double action pull. Also seems the decocker puts a little bit of pressure on the mag which can cause it to leak. Trigger is your standard single/double, double action is long and creepy, single is surprisingly crisp and definately the better way to shoot. In the hand the grip is a bit odd, feels uncomfortable if you're conciously holding it, but in the field that sort of melts into the background and you end up going with the full sean connery spec one handed lower grip, very good for instinct firing. Sights are small (like the pistol) but crisp and if you take the time to get a proper sight picture it's nice and precise, but as mentioned before you'll end up doing a bond impression and instinct firing. Strip down follows the original pretty well, pop the trigger guard down, pull the slide back lift up and off to give you access to the hop. Its a bit of a tricky sequence but quite smooth when you get the hang of it and gets the attention of folk who aren't familiar with the design. Holster wise your options are both wide and limited. The good news is with the heel release you can safely stuff this in a generic fabric holster and be reasonably confident she'll still go bang when needed (unlike the thumb button style that loves to drop mags when in that kind of holster). This will be your cheapest option. Otherwise you'll be looking at either leather concealed carry type, or the proper russian military style ones. Can't confirm if this thing works in the fancy spetsnaz push draw holster or not but i did grab a paddle rentention one which she fits perfectly, of course this route is not exactly cheap as they're marketed for real guns rather than airsoft. Overall it's a lovely combination of something unique and different but good enough to hold its own against the sea of glocks in terms of performance at least in good weather. edit: a few points i forgot: the suppressor is a hollow can with a tube up the inside, no foam filling here, so not useful for actual suppression unless you gut it and do some mk23 esque shenanigans with the insides. careful with the mags- cold weather+mag lips+a drop onto concrete wont end well, although amazingly you can actually buy spares gas wise- as mentioned later in the topic i run it on nuprol 4.0 with .4g bb's and it hasn't blown up yet, but then i also run a plastic slide hicapa on the same and it also hasn't blown up either despite what the internet says about putting anything stronger than 144 in a marui so make of that what you will...... Edit 2: you know you want pics.....

Politicians.

Nice TMR and Emperion patch you got there Are you using a particular insert for the mp7 mags?

You're not supposed to encourage me when I've just been paid. I have adulty things I need to spend it on. Out of interest has anyone had multiple uppers? It's far more practical on a GBBR than AEG

.50 BMG rifles yes (for now anyway), but not the M82 that's a self-loader.

Makarov and holster ordered to go full Ruski

What you've quoted is literally a completely different shirt to the linked ad, and I wear those 'navy' dark blue issue shirts every day in work. What the one in the ad on here is actually worth I've no clue, but those surplus dark blue shirts are fairly clearly not the same item when you look at the features. Do you know what the HurricanE kit is made of? I had a quick go at researching it and there's a thread in the Arnies news section from 2004 so all the pages I could find are long dead, no idea if it's steel or cast airsoft-cheapy-sort of aluminium alloy.

I’ve also held a real one and I just can’t get my head around the idea that an Airsoft one can replicate the feel and weight of a real one , hence my scepticism on the suggestion but if you have managed to do it then I do congratulate you for it . Edit , as the Borg said you’ve put a smile on your forum friends faces , take it as a win ! 👍

grey-shop, ordered it along with a gorka and a smersh for maximum cheeky breeky

Ok sweetheart

A few bits just in time for B-SIM ALPHA at AP this weekend 😁 5.11 All Hazards Nitro Pentagon Gen-V Jacket Earmor M32H MOD3+ Had to buy some more ear pro as the last ones packed up mid game out of the blue - a testimony to 'buy cheap, buy twice'.

just ordered an Acetech lighter S tracer unit and tracer bb's so that I can run around in the dark screaming "PEW PEW PEW" and "GET THEM CHEWIE" as if my parents where not already worried about my mental health😂

Australian Infantry kit. Around 2004-2008 Platatac giggle hat, DPCU land125 cut uniform, Issue Terra boots, Issue Body Armour, Issue Land125 vest and 40mm dropleg, Rabintex 303 helmet with cover, tag IR and NSeas mount, Ess ice glasses, JG Aug with Elcan, custom made scope rail nurprol 203 and GB Tec 203 mount.

Nothing quite says how well a gun performs than when you hand it to people throughout the game day to have a play with and they all say “how?” When the see how far the BB goes. i ran out of ammo I had that much of a target rich environment and I was just too high and far away that nobody on the opposite team could hit me. Figured it take a little picture of the godly thing.

working on a Seals loadout. Here's the AEG's so far. TM Sig 226 with Guarder metal upper and lower, Crimson trace laser grips, Threaded outer barrel and extended Magazine. VFC GBB MP5SD6 with torch and laser mount. I had tinker inside to get it working well but now runs like a train. TM SCAR H with 1x4 Elcan, PEC 15 with working light and red laser and Vertical grip (Just need to fit a titan and tightbore for this to be finished). TM HK416D in Tan. Various accessories and Titan and tightbore fitted inside. Stock pad is my 3D printed design for the battery.

£350 for something you can buy for £290 brand new

I’ve held mine and the real thing. The steel feels very similar. Chill yourself.
