Cyma AEP's, are they all oversized?

[koppel]

Or are some of them 1:1 scale? Obviously the cm123 1911 is stupidly proportioned but i can't really tell from the pics if the other variants like the p226/usp/18c  etc are.

Cheers guys.

"Proportioned" is a fairly loaded term.  From the side, the ratio of length to height is close to the real-steel / real-polymer guns, although both are a bit larger. 

The one that's likely closest to the real-steel size is the CM.121 Desert Eagle.

It's the width where they diverge: they're all necessarily and noticeably thicc in the gripp because of the gearboxes.

That said, I have stubby fingers but can trigger a CM.123 without any problems.  Aesthetically, it's not ideal, but functionally it's fine.

If you require 1:1 then none of them will really do.  If you want a usable low powered pistol (with upgrade potential) then any of them will work.

Hi-Capa is exactly right, same size as all the others, BUT Hi-Capa isn’t a real gun lol

Aye, proportioned might not be the right term but the CM123/1911 just looks so daft!

Are the TM's similarly too fat as well? They are damn expensive at thrice the price without battery or charger.

Shush, mine will hear you.

I reckon they look OK in isolation.  It's when you put them next to a real (toy) 1911 that the difference leaps out and pokes you in the eye.

Yes, the CYMAs are straight copies of the TMs, they're the same size.  The limit is the motor and gearbox inside the pistol grip.  It's a marvel of miniature engineering, but there's only so far they can shrink it - and there's a magazine in there as well.  The other dimensions get scaled up a bit so that they're not quite so out of proportion compared to the grip.

The CM.121 Desert Eagle is the same length as the real gun (270mm) and likely the closest to the other dimensions.  Heck, I'm tempted to get one and run it with a fore-grip.

Don't know what you lot are moaning about

If you had to wield THIS.....

Cheers for the advice guys, i've ordered a Cyma USP.  I've still got loads of gbbs left over from when i quit the 1st time over a decade ago, and these AEP's didn't exist back then so eager to try one out.

They're... an acquired taste.  Like caffeine free diet Coke.
