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



 
This like my third always wanted Airsoft gun. I shall buy.

 
Looks like it also takes percussion caps? Kinda makes it part Airsoft, part 'Model' gun it that's the case?


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.

My more pressing question - is TM making a Howa Type 20? That would be pretty amazeballs if they were.

Not been following Airsoft developments quite so closely lately, so the answer might be already be common knowledge.

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.

It’s 1870, so you’re good to acquire one of these as long as you’re over 18, no defence required.


good to know, feels weird asking that question but given i'm out of the game now and a navy colt is one of the few pews i'd consider as a wall-hanger it was worth asking.

My son has a couple of replicas of pre-1870 pistols and I had no problems buying them without a UKARA registration.

If you’re literally only after a wall hanger, Kolser make some half decent replicas that are probably cheaper than this TM will be - https://www.battleorders.co.uk/products/replica-colt-navy-1852?variant=44059923677427

I don't know if it's been confirmed but apparently it's not getting a public release. It's just for military training.

 
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.

Perhaps for first release to satisfy Gov't order, may be higher powered that there laws allow.  Could be a Civvy Version to follow. IS it a AEG or maybe an NGRS or GBBr?  Does look cool.

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.

Not at this moment. Plus it's kind of odd how it's displayed. In that case like that. Not on the wall etc. Plus the card in the display case doesn't scream "wow. Look at our new product. Get your wallet ready"

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.

Yeah. Talking about the airsoft type 20 too really.  Just that it wasn't a product announcement or anything and the general consensus from the show was  "maybe they'll release one in the future".
