But the government previously allowed commercial sales of the type 89 which was also a training aid. Its practically free advertising for recruitment. There is nothing special or secret about the type 20 so what would be the reason for restricting a toy version of it?

I find it unlikely that they wont do the Japanese army rifle and if an airsoft company has been contracted to make one type of training rifle and its not an airsoft gun then its pretty likely an airsoft gun will be coming. I imagine that takes a little longer to develop than a lump of rubber though

It appears we may have been talking at cross purposes. I am talking about potential airsoft guns not the rubber rifle itself. I brought that up because the fact they have made the rubber rifle just ties in with the fact they are probably making the airsoft versions for the army and thus for commercial sale as well reasonably soon. Sorry about that. Thought you were talking about the type 20 in general rather than specifically the rubber one.

Since it is the jsdf service rifle I think it likely it goes the same way as the type 89 and they do both. They never did an ngrs version of that though for whatever reason.

Here we go. from the marui website Percussion cap: to further enhance the realism of the M1851, brass (non-exploding) percussion caps have been added. The M1851 sits between the flintlock and the modern revolver. Fulminate percussion caps were placed on the cylinder to fire the bullets (called balls). Tokyo Marui wanted to fully replicate this feature. Any source on where you heard that because I cannot think of a single reason why that would be the case and seriously doubt it.

They had a rubber type 20 training rifle on display at the show so they have likely been hired to make all the training gear again. Their type 89 was bought as a training aid so its likely we arent far off getting a type 20 too.

In the video they showed selling spare cylinders which each came with 6 percussion caps separately. I think its a cosmetic thing rather than actual caps.

Looks to be a piston in grip springer like their saa but I feel a mighty need....

Im planning to grab one but im waiting for someone else to impulse buy one then flog it on the forums XD

nothing particularly special. A few tm akm mags. Most of the stuff I got in this batch is already up. All the marushin bits and pieces.

Okie doke. Thanks for the input everyone. Ill clean it up and stick it up here as soon as my ads refresh. Already hit my 10 listing cap this week XD

It is a hopper fed one. No idea if it is bellows or not. Not taken it apart yet

So I got a batch of old stuff once more and amongst it was this top m60. It works as it should and has one crack in a plastic part. Ive never had my hands on one and have no idea on value.

May have gone on a bit of a compact pistol spree

So having seem many photos of Explosive reactive armour blocks mounted to things It shouldn't be me and my friend got to talking about a dumb idea. I present you the first result of said dumb idea! The molle mountable kontact-1 ERA block! Ignore the colour. I got it cheap so I use it for prototyping. Will be in green for the final versions and maybe a stencil on top for the full meme effect

Ive taken mine apart and It comes apart like a normal 1911 style pistol. The slide release is just very stiff to get out. Also make sure its not cocked when you take it out XD

Ok. Thanks very much for the clarification. I believe one of the people who reposted your facebook post stated that it was only guns you have modified which is clearly incorrect then. Id certainly believe it was a design issue. That grip should not have shattered like that. That break does not look right for decent quality polymer. Added an edit to my previous for anyone reading through this post later.

Here is the pic of the inside of the grip. That looks like a plastic too brittle problem to me but I dont really know. the fact its blown out like that around where I assume the bolt was

I have seen people saying that so far this has only occurred on the guns that airsoft world have taken apart and painted but I myself don't have any evidence of that either way. Edit: This has been disproven. See the post from airsoft world below

So just saw this from airsoft world ATTENTION ALL G&G LEVAR OWNERS! THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH YOUR RIFLE. It has come to our attention that there is a serious design flaw in the G&G LevAR rifles - both sizes. The pistol grip is breaking and disconnecting the gas line that travels from the gas tank within the pistol grip and into the main receiver. If gassed and under pressure, this can happen with an explosive release of the pressure, so please DO NOT use or mess about with your rifle. We were notified two days ago of a customers rifle 'exploding' as it was lifted from its box immediately after delivery. As we have not yet received that rifle back, we were not sure what had caused this failure and were hoping that it had been damaged in transit by the delivery courier. Around 5 mins ago, we've had two customers at the same airsoft site with the exact same failure. First use of the rifle and they both failed after a small impact. All three of these were the LONG 15" version but the grip is the same on the shorter 7" and although the shorty doesn't have the associated weight and leveraged forces of having the full stock and longer top receiver, there is still a risk of the same thing happening if you impact it hard enough. One rifle was propped on its stock and slid sideways, landing flat on the ground. The other was accidentally dropped to the ground from waist height whilst standing in the safe zone. Both pistol grips shattered and instantly released the gas as the line connection disconnected. Please bear with us as we are not open again until Tuesday (we have always been shut on Mondays) and we will contact YOU. So please do not start sending us emails, texts and everything else you want to throw at us, including the LevAR's ? We cannot get hold of G&G until Monday, and although I'm fairly sure they must already know about this failure we need to discuss a solution in order to resolve this quickly. PLEASE PASS THIS POST ON TO EVERYONE YOU CAN **This is a TOY, not a real firearm!**

Finally started work on the box mag for the hk21. Has internals from an ares lmg box which will be wired to a pressure switch. Hpa adaptor goes in through the back as ive drilled and tapped a hole in the back of the mag.

I wonder how many posts in this thread im responsible for ?

So after a bit more testing and another charge ive not been able to get that same issue to happen again. The gun seems to work as it should now. One interesting thing. if you try to cock it for the first round and slip the motor will take over and cock the gun for you

Unfortunately mine didnt come with a manual so i have no idea if the sleep mode is an actual thing or if its just a quirk of leaving the mag in the gun for a while. also sample of 1. probably a good idea to wait for a variety of reviews XD

yeah just tested. About 4 mags is where it starts having issues. so around 64 clean shots and then it every now and again slows down slightly. Still runs but it just sometimes has to take a moment to recock itself. So treating this as if it were the gas capacity of a magazine it is still perfectly fine for a sidarm with the one downside of being more difficult to top up if you are out on a milsim or something. On another note the gun seems to have some sort of sleep mode. If I leave it with a mag in for a long while it will take half a second after shooting to actually start recocking itself. I only get this occasionally so im not sure what to make of it yet
