Can no-one really come up with a way to reliably get closer to 300fps out of an AEP?

They can (kingdom airsoft did it) no one would be willing to pay what it cost. 

[Marui gas revolvers]

They haven't been in production in a long time pre COVID at least.

Used Vorsk 0.28g tracers no issues.

[AEG AUG A3?]

1 hour ago, JinxDuh said:

Why has nobody made (to my knowledge) an actual AUG A3 AEG yet? I know copy and paste is prevalent in the airsoft industry but surely it wouldn’t be that difficult to make the correct upper?

Well someone to reverse engineer the gun and figure out the dimensions, build maybe multiple prototype to see if it works, then maybe 70k for the mold. So maybe 100K plus to develop and put in production. so maybe they sell whole sale £50ish each, costs them £20 to make them. so they have to sell several 1000 just to break even let alone a profit and they will loose production time on existing more profitable models. so that's why no bodies done as you notice all the current AUGs other than KWA and GHK are clones of TM designs.

Is it definitely gas?as the magazine looks like an aep type?

 

not an AEP the the frame for those are really off. Looking at the mag it looks like a NBB i used to have 24ish years ago.

[Tanaka 1897 riot shot gun shells]

Wrong place for a want to buy thread there is a sales sub forum. Any PPS shells will work they are Tanaka clones

I'm sure TM have been intently reading this thread and as such will be announcing a GBB Hi Power at next week's Shizuoka Hobby Show. It's on my vision board ha.

If that's the case. Oh TM Gas SPAS 12, Walther P99, PPK and an NRGS G3 and Gaili pronto

Got this brand new G&G ESG B-10 from malcolm1174. Not sure how he got his hands on it but its in mine's now. As far as I know these guns are still very much in pre order but considering theyre basically a Flak 10 its unsurprising its banned in most places already lol. Gun above is an APS Striker MK3 I bought recently; probably the most practical "shell eject" shotgun out there. I do love my semi auto shotguns haha

Which version is the street sweeper gas in shells or gas in grip?

I'm sure I'll be branded a heretic but I've never really seen the appeal of the Browning HP.

 

Of course, that said I don't like Glocks either so what do I know?

After shooting a real Glock I lost any love for Airsoft Glocks.

Nothing really. to be effective in games you need to spend that on mags alone.

HP has appeared in more film/manga and TV than some guns TM has made.  Also as stated they have made Springers   Sun Projects, ( there was another classic one two, cant remember who ), Tanaka and WE have made GBB to, so its odd TM hasn’t.  
 

Maybe VFC will make one. 

There are lots of guns TM haven't made ( though rumor is they have prototype for lots and lots of guns). Even with popular/famous guns question is how many variants can they get out of them? even though they have Spring HPs a GBB will be a ground up design with new tooling. what other guns can you put those parts in to max profits?  

[Gbb guns]

Rifle, SMG, Pistol? budget?. usage?

[JG Works MP5K]

Got to go with tackle on this one. You have no way to even prove it's faulty now and if you can't return the item I can't see how they have an obligation to refund you.

[Importing Airsoft gun (IF) into UK]

Apologies for the thread revival, thought it best not to open a new one.

 

Does anyone know how long UK Customs take to check a RIF import?

 

I ordered a Specna Arms from Gunfire in Poland which arrived in the UK last week. At first it was checked and released by a Government agency, I was charged import fees, so far so good. Then it went in to the warehouse and hasn't moved since.

 

I contacted UPS to be told it is being held for a customs examination.

 

Does anyone know how long these examinations usually take?

Anything from a few days to my worse was 6 weeks. I think I have heard of worse.

[Everyone we want a TM HiPower;]

And they are selling. Tokyo Marui does not give a shit about any market out side of Japan. 

[Could someone help me identify my glock please]

it's an OEM KWA/KSC Glock. The mags are proprietary.

Valid comments however Army made a nice clone of the recoil M4's (I've got one here that works a treat) and CYMA knocked out a recoil AK which was slightly better than the TM version because it took normal AEG AK mags straight out the box.

I still think TM lead the way as all the other innovations have either been expensive, failed or both. Systema PTW, ICS split gearbox, GBLS, TOP shell ejecting AEG to name a few.

Now it's unlikely TM will be reading this but just in case, hurry up and make a recoil G3 and stick a mosfet in the M4 recoil platform.

I did not know that thanks for the information. Does the CYMA have the lock on empty function? Since the MP5 came out I am hoping a G3 range is on its way. 

[Magazine compatibility]

Generally yes stick to the same brand of mag as the gun. But even then with Airsoft QC it's not always the case that same brand will feed

TM's lack of innovation is just getting more and more staggering haha

People keep saying that, but what exactly is a massive innovation that another company has made? Everything is still fundamentally based on TM designs. I notice no one has cloned a Recoil other than the AA12. 

[What have you just 3d printed (for airsoft)]

Very Happy I bought the K1 Max. Waiting on trigger, hop unit and mag springs. hopping to have it up and running for some CQB in 2 weeks time. Also going to try and Get a M6C based on a aap-01 printed as well.

Honestly for the WE colt that's not a terrible price that's about £170 new if you include shipping.

[Shipping airsoft guns internationally from UK to Poland]

Parcel force will. But it will be not be covered under their insurance. If this is for a sale just don't bother not worth the grief selling internationally.

[Engagement Distance for Snipers]

From a marshalls point of view yes you shouldn't be subjected to a MED, but other than giving lower powered bolt action/DMRs highly visible tags it's too much of a ball ache trying to distinguish who should have a MED. Especially having to constantly deal with with players who don't understand what a snipers role is and try to do base clearance with a high-powered gun.
