Everyone we want a TM HiPower;

[hunter511]

Marui: "here, have one of these instead."

Seriously TM, WTAF?

View attachment 127988

TLDR, Marui made another fugly, niche, anime detonics variant and I say this as someone who likes the 1911 platform.

 

[BigStew]

And they are selling. Tokyo Marui does not give a shit about any market out side of Japan. 

 

[hunter511]

Oh I'm well aware that TM have no interest in the world outside Japan..... but still I (against my better instincts) hoped.....

 

[EDcase]

Even though they make decent pistols, I'm not interested in plastic slides

 

[DRG]

@EDcase 1) Japanese manufacturers can't make airsoft handguns with metallic pressure bearing parts (slide, barrel, revolver frame and cylinder)

2) If plastic slides bother you that much, metal kits do exist

 

[EDcase]

Yes I know thanks

A hi-power or makarov would be wonderful. The hi-power more so as it's been on all sides of conflict. Rather than trying to convince marui to produce the gun you want, you are better off convincing capcom to stick it in the next resident evil game. I have good money that says you see a VP70 before a hi-power or makarov.

Well then... Fingers crossed!

 

[DerDer]

It's a bit annoying. Especially when your consider that the company had a hi power springer many years ago. If you want a GBB you are pretty much stuck with the fairly cack WE. In contrast say the Tokarev, has had WE,SRC and KWA making models as one stage or another.

Issue is the TM resident evil guns are usually stupidly priced and limited run.

 

[THE CHIEF]

I have never seen a gun exclusively tooled up for resident evil models. There may be a RE version like the Sig's, Berretta's and Desert Eagles but also a vanilla version for general consumption. 

 

[rj1986]

Wasn't there a survey a few years ago for TM, and a HP was one of the options?

 

[sp00n]

It would have to be a mk2 hi-power … but I want a mws 416 more …. The conversion kits are way too expensive imho

 

[BigAl]

HP has appeared in more film/manga and TV than some guns TM has made.  Also as stated they have made Springers   Sun Projects, ( there was another classic one two, cant remember who ), Tanaka and WE have made GBB to, so its odd TM hasn’t.  
 

Maybe VFC will make one.

There are lots of guns TM haven't made ( though rumor is they have prototype for lots and lots of guns). Even with popular/famous guns question is how many variants can they get out of them? even though they have Spring HPs a GBB will be a ground up design with new tooling. what other guns can you put those parts in to max profits?

I'm sure I'll be branded a heretic but I've never really seen the appeal of the Browning HP.

Of course, that said I don't like Glocks either so what do I know?

After shooting a real Glock I lost any love for Airsoft Glocks.

Back in the day I used to shoot the real Hi Power - which has increased my love/desperation for a decent airsoft version rather than quelled it!
