New vid of it.

Yes mate, the thing is now to let the planned obsolescence pan out a bit as in - wait for them to do the MK1...let them learn from that and iron out the issues, then let them do the new and improved Mk2 which I will then buy, so a long road yet. 😆

Hello chaps - for anyone interested, they did an announcement and vid of it firing on their FB page.

Andy used to let us run monster vehicle based private games at sandpit for cheap. Great site. He was a big figure in the airsoft scene for many years. RIP.

Reading all this stuff about whatsapp/discord makes me feel quite nauseous and even more glad this forum exists. ?

OP, hi mate, I think a few lads may echo this who have been around the airsoft block a bit - this forum is about as good as it gets. People have been 'feeling' that forums have been dying since the days they were first created in the early ages of the internet...but alas...they persist. ? This is a decent platform, especially if you have a tech issue. There is a helpful knowledge base here and a buoyant well regulated classifieds section. The team behind the forum do a good job to manage it. You won't get 'downvoted' for asking a simple question (no matter how many times it has been asked) and refreshingly - you also won't get banned for having a different opinion. Cheers

Will be cool if the maxim comes with a little trolley. I did wonder about it's relevance today, but Incredibly - its still actually being used in the war in Ukraine...by both sides.

Interesting discussion for sure. We have done that in milsims and even utilised MILDEC nicely at times by sending out false sighting reports and patrol locations. All is fair in love and war...

Classic F91w casio for me. Had the same one for about 8 years now!

Now we're talking mate that would be great!! Chuck a Tokarev in too while we're here...?

Bespoke have them at a marginally better £199...still a bit high for me.

Hello mate, I had a great experience with them early this year. I ordered a warhead black motor from E6 for a custom build- nearly 6 months later the tech I sent it too said it was the wrong one and I needed a short shaft instead. I thought I would be pushing my luck even thinking about asking for an exchange, but thought I would try so I emailed the bloke at E6 - he emailed back in an hour, no problem - send old one back and I will send the short one. Can't ask for any better than that. Cheers

Story of my life mate! ? Yes, you have a fair observation. That said, it could also be argued that TM are the innovators and continue to do so and do very well internationally regardless because of that. I also think that, just say hypothetically the choice arose, some people may rather be stuck with one really good pioneering brand (like TM) than a thousand others that tend to imitate TM anyway. Cheers.

Hi Cannon, Yes as far as I know. I had a great TM AK old school recoil. It was just brilliant and lobbed 50+ stock with excellent accuracy. I love that solid attitude too from TM. They know what they are doing and they know that it is good. It sort of aligns with many a great philosophers outlook - a bit like Steinbeck who emphasised the importance of forgetting the generalised audience and catering to a single person instead. Write for ourselves and the rest will follow (paraphrasing!). Sadly not good for poor wallet though! ?

Ah interesting thanks. It is a shame, but nothing we can do about it I suppose. I still think nearly £400 for a last gen AKS74U is ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I am a big TM fan. TM can afford to do that though, people will still buy it, but it may just siphon people into other brands a bit more.

Hello, That is a bit strange isn't it. When you take the battery off and refit it - does the first shot still fire ok? It seems that after the first one, the second and third die off. The first thing I thought when watching the second vid is that there isn't enough power to turn the motor, but odd that both batteries are resulting in the same, which makes me think it might be the RIF. I did have something similar on a TM I had. It turns out I was pulling the trigger too quickly! What happens when you single shot it 1 round every 2 seconds? Sorry I might not be helping at all here! ? Cheers

Here is sort of what I just bought - came back on Saturday, but the tech has been working on it since Jan 29th. Before that it was cerakoted in FDE. It also doesn't actually work despite being upgraded heavily and got smashed up a bit by courier. A wire pops out on the mosfet, the stock catch is broken and there are scratches on the cerakote paintwork - but it looks cool and that is all that matters in airsoft haha!

Hello, Hmmm its a tricky one, I have had a JG that didn't take certain TM parts, well it would with a bit of tomfoolery. If I could find a cheap JG then if it were me, I would certainly be inclined to try and just sell on the JG if not. It may also be worth contacting Fire Support, but find out the exact part number first as he will ask for it - he can get parts from TM sometimes and has given me quotes before. The part number can be found on TM's website in the relevant virtual manual, or in the manual that came with it if you still have it. Cheers

Hello! Yes of course mate, its his job and no different to any brand who pushes his wares really and aim to present a customer interactive service - but that pinch of salt applies to all in my book, but no harm in you reminding consumers of that as it is easily a thought we push to the back of our minds when we get 'brand fever'. Airsoft is mostly about the psycho-social model of conspicuous consumption. Maybe because its a new brand, the customer service is very accessible and maybe this will change if they get bigger of course. I haven't ventured into the gas realm full stop - too pricey for me. I am content with the AEG's (alas I have known TM's/GHK's etc. that have had double feeding issues...)and for the money, well pro are doing very well in that department in terms of being in the budget realm. I have just got back a PP19 AEG from a tech retailer...sadly it isn't working now, before the tech work it was great haha! Cheers.

Ah that is a shame, that said - I would probably bet some money that if you were to message them about this, they would take on that feedback and probably do something about it if a few had that same issue. Their FB group and admin is very active and responds directly to messages. Cheers!

Hello Mark! Yes mate I think you are right. I have emailed the retailer, email response time from them varies but will see what they say. Although, I believe PF make it pretty much impossible to claim for RIFS? They also sent it PF 24 although...that's another story. First, they tried delivery and no one was in, fair enough they take it to a post office...the post office that is 20 minutes away, rather than the one that is 2 minutes away. Ok fine, but when picking it up - sorry no can doosy. The PO refused to release it saying that the name on the parcel was wrong, even though I had the slip. Ok will email PF, which I did and after countless daft responses (in one of them they said the name wasn't wrong but the address was!) I got nowhere really and arranged for a re delivery on a Monday when the wife would be home. Instead they try delivering it on the Tuesday when no one is in. Retailer said they have no control over redelivery, but I rearrange it again for Saturday, which they did, but delivered it with the box in two and damage to the RIF...too much time in transit I think. I have emailed the retailer since with questions and pictures and the video so will see what happens... Cheers
