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. 😄

Not UK but impulse101 in Japan is highly recommended for MWS mags if they're in stock. https://impulse101.jp/en/gbb-rifle-magazines/tokyo-marui-set-of-5-m4a1-mws-gbbr-spare-gas-magazines-5214

What PTT and headset are you using? I had this exact issue except with a UV-5R. Some random Chinese U94 and mic and downlead for my Comtac XPs. The setup worked fine for numerous weekend events and then one weekend I get the transmit light but no audio. No settings changed or anything, it was most odd. Sadly, my fix was to get a RS U94, mic and downlead.

Is there a compatibility list for gen 3, 4 & 5? I gather mags are interchangeable but can you say, swap slides etc?

Has anyone ordered from gameoftactical.com? I randomly started getting their newsletter sometime in 2021. I had never heard of them before that so I'm not sure how they got my email. They had a gmail email address which seemed a bit sus but they now have a shopify address. I'm wondering if they have any association with ebairsoft as they both seem to stock the same obscure/old stuff and use the same photos for some things.

I know there have been personal imports but I'm not sure if any retailers have gotten shipments yet.

Oh, the lens housing is tapered huh. That's sub optimal. Maybe a few blobs/bead of hot glue around it to hold it on as I'm not sure I'd want to trust even a friction fitted TPU lens holder.

Polycarbonate disc trapped with a 3D printed cap like torch, red dot protectors. How do you find the camera btw? Footage from ones I've seen have a weird focus issue that's supposedly getting sorted with a firmware update.
