One order from them and it went fine. Their order process is a little convoluted having to wait for postage and then confirming and then waiting for PayPal invoice etc but got there in the end.

First time for me at Gunman Airsoft Camp Bravo yesterday. I've been to Gunman Tuddenham a bunch of times but not their other sites. I'm not really into woodland but it was the Halloween special night game that ran until 1am and as an enjoyer of airsofting at night, it looked like a good way to spend my Friday night. They clearly put a lot of effort into the event with all sorts of Halloween props around the safe zone. Not like Poundland spiders and some cobwebs. They had crazy 12+ foot tall skeleton creatures with lights, animatronics and all sorts. It was very professional. I found the first game the best even if our spawn was about 15 miles away from the action but it was nice to have the full? site in play which was unusual according the one of the regulars I spoke to . Thankfully I only had to go back once I think as we were being very sneaky, flanking etc. After that it went to the more typical, faster paced, skirmish type games which were OK. Game play/attitudes were good too. Everyone seemed friendly and no real arguments over overshooting that you typically get at night games. I did see a couple of people that complained a little bit of getting overshot, already dead etc but if you're walking around without your hand up and you're dead, you're going to get shot. Same for hits. If you mumble "hit" and don't immediately put your hand up, you're going to get hit again. They had staff? that were dressed up in various spooky outfits roaming the site and following/chasing you forcing you to move if they spotted you in one position for too long. Including someone with a chainsaw which was fun. In addition to marshals wandering around pumping out heavy amounts of fog from what appeared to be industrial/pro fog machines. There was a sound system blasting out music the entire time with a pretty slick QR code to request songs. They played everything I requested which was cool. I requested the suitably spooky Children of the Grave by Black Sabbath and that blasting out in the middle of dark woods surrounded by fog was simply perfect. Food was very good too. I'm not used to that amount of choice at airsoft sites. I've paid more for lower quality food at other places. So yeah, thumbs up from me.

It's something I've been thinking about for a while. If you work it out, you could probably make a bit of cash.

Are the mags loaded "properly" i.e. neatly double stacked? I seem to recall MP9s can be picky with feeding unless mags are loaded like this. Even down to which side of the follower is touching the first BB.

Are you talking about a .209 primer BFG or a 12g blank? I can't imagine the latter would be allowed at indoor site... Regardless, I use a Delta Mike face pro snood with Comtacs just fine. I'd definitely want both in CQB.

Try resizing them. I assume they're over 7MB? A bit excessive really.

Lol. Good. I'd have been surprised if you had bought into what they have to say considering your history.

https://www.tokyomaruiairsoft.com I take it? Yeah, that's a shop using TM's name without permission and is not to be trusted at all. Are you ok to release that screenshot? Don't want to get your source in trouble or break a NDA 😄

The question is, who is the red pill and who is the blue pill?...

So, I heard back from my source who asked TM directly what's going on with Glocks. TM said there are just production issues in general which are impacting multiple product lines, not just Glocks. TM said there are no issues with licencing and that is a rumour started by a store/distributor that has no involvement with TM and is not to be trusted. Is TM lying? Possible but doubtful. We'll see I guess. And I got all that without having to sign a NDA. In summary, everyone can chill out.

lol. OK chaps... I'm sure it's all protected by NDAs 🙄

I appreciate that but this source would have to be a Japanese distributor to have heard directly from TM seeing as TM only operate domestically. I don't think you're grasping what I'm asking. Yes, the source could be not being named because they asked. BUT WHY? Why would they need to be protected? A toy is potentially stopped being made. Jez's source is convinced this is 100% happening. What does it matter? Why would TM tell someone and tell them not to tell anyone? Do you see what I'm getting at? Why all the mystery over a toy? Not a dig at Jez but half of a story just annoys me.

For instance?

Nah 😛

There's literally no reason to not want to be named if they have rock solid intel unless they're afraid of looking like a clown if it all blows over and turns out to be nothing.

Lol. £700. Good luck to them.

Sounds like they're not all that confident in what they're saying if they don't want to be named tbh.

How does naming your source drop them in it? In what? This isn't some whistle blower confirming details of a top secret UFO recovery program... If a toy manufacturer has told them directly that something will no longer be made, why is that a secret?

So where are you getting your info from? What makes you so sure?

For what it's worth, Western Arms sued/did legal stuff to TM over Berettas as WA held the Beretta licence in Japan. TM still make Berettas, they just can't have accurate trades. No more Glock trades is the most likely outcome I think here if this is not just a storm in teacup and everyone is freaking out over unsubstantiated rumours with nothing to back them up with. I believe there's a hobby trade show in Japan next month that TM attend so that could be interesting.

It's best not to think about it.

Ah. Sorry. I had an open tab that showed them in stock but they must have sold out and the stock didn't update. Sorry to get your hopes up.

There's still a few about in the UK.

I'd like to think that in a what I assume is still a traditional country like Japan, a "representative" of TM would knock on the front door of whoever runs Baton Airsoft or whoever is messing things up and "suggest" they reverse course and that sorts it. 😄
