Just got hold of a WE SVD and looking for recommendations for a hard case for it. Nothing fancy as it's just for going from the flat to the car to safe zone.

Well I think you are good for back ups then.

The answer to question what pistol to get is always TM except the M92F, it's an ancient design and has be superseded buy the M9A1.

Depends where you live possibly. tried but with out a couple of hpa tapped mags it's impossible north of the border. Even if you could run a GBBR year round I'd still want a back up AEG(you always want a back up to your primary anyway). if you can afford to buy and run a GBBR as a primary you can afford a £90 CYMA MP5K.

I do no ever understand people who post links to retailers in their adds showing that the stuff is over priced. is it too lazy to use copy and paste or just dumb full stop.

The WE are TM clones ish WE have some differences so might be a straight fit or it could a fair bit of file work to fit. OP is better off going for a TM specific after market frame.

I got bored and checked surplus stores prices £190 for the gun, £10 for the two tone, £10 for the BBs so they are only trying to profiteer on the postage it's only reasonable to ask for the new price you were over charged for a second hand gun.

if i guess right they are both maruzen special editions at least 15 years old and not very good as skirmish guns. they are collectors pieces and appear to be in very good condition however don't think there is really much of a market for them in the UK maybe £150 each

That's far too low even TM fairy dust sprinkled guns shoot min 270 fps on 0.2BBs. is it brand new and have you opened it up yet? if yes and no contact the retailer something is not right if its shooting that low.

More than likely. my main reason for a longer barrel was it to be in line with the outer barrel so that the BB doesn't ricochet.

Nothing showed up in a forum Search. so thinking about getting a pistol carbine kit for CQB (for TM M9 or Hi Capa based) and want to run an extended barrel, is there a rule of thumb or calculation for increase/decrease of FPS relative to barrel length or is it just a case of fit it and see? If I put a 300mm + barrel is going to be a likelyhood of it running hot or not?

Got to pay the bills I suppose but I have gone through the link three times already on my phone.

What weight of BBs were you using when you chrono'd it? That seems low most shops are quoting 400ish FPS on .2 out the box. Unless you are using heavy weight BBs that seems like faulty low fps. Having a quick Google it might be PPS OEM but there appears to be little to no after market parts for this gun.

I have never found a metal hop unit that is better than a well made plastic one for any AEG. Thought I better clarify.

I personally think most of TM M9 Resident evil specials are a bit of a rip so if you can live with relatively poor performance go WE. Just make sure it's an M9A1 based clone as the original TM M9 is at least a 25 year old design at this point and WE made a poor copy of an obsolete gun.

is it a collection piece or do you want to use it? collection go with the WE, if you want to use it metal is not a good thing on a pistol. especial on a gun that is a clone of a gun design to have a plastic slide and use low powered gas. None of the WE pistols will perform as well as their TM counterparts.

Just watched a YouTube unboxing it has the rotary hop unit so it should be based on the M9A1 platform which should mean only the hop unit and blow back mech are different to the older M92F models.

Using the gear box from a scorpion but not the body so room should be ok. Thanks

Hello not up on MOSFETs so after advice for a project build using an AEP gear box I want it to be fired single shot by a micro switch. So what would people recommend?

You really would be better off fixing it or HPA too many people have bought simple fix guns and dumped more money than buying a new gun. so anything other minor cosmetic damage makes a gun practically worthless unless it is genuinely rare as hen's teeth.

They are currently in stock the UK so not rare. I sold the same model with low FPS for a £120. I would say aim for roughly that.

It's not quite marui they never released a 1928 version only a M1A1 Thompson. So if it is marui it has an after market receiver and barrel on it. Maybe £200 + depending who made the receiver.

TM made series of Walther pistols, anyone to make Ruger Mini 14 gas or electric and a hardballer that doesn't cost £700. +1 for a gas spas 12.

Will not ever consider buying a second hand gun that says it's upgraded recipe for disaster. I still don't get the whole obsession with up grading guns unless it's for aesthetics. Just buy a gun that is good out the box and don't expect miracles. The only gun I have owned that needed up grading was a classic army sports line P90 and why dump more money after bad? got rid of it after one game literally went back to the safe zone put a for sale notice up.
