ryaw Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 So it turns out LW still have 2 Umarex MP7's left in stock for sale by phone or in store only, according to their Facebook post by earlier. Not on their website. Don't ask me why, but act quickly if you want one. No spare mags yet though.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted July 8, 2019 Supporters Posted July 8, 2019 So you pay your £420, turn up with your one mag.... and fail chrono because it's making 360-380 fps. Just... no. No. I wonder how much you actually have to spend to get a skirmishable toy gun with a usable amount of mags?

Here's a gun people have been asking for for ages so guaranteed sales, it's a CQB gun so only needs to be capable of 350 FPS maximum, honestly they could have gotten away with it being 1J, proprietary magazines anyway so take the opportunity to include last round cut off. Instead we get an overpriced gun if you can actually find one in stock, shooting hot for no reason and about as many magazines available as there are guns

Wo1f Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 And that’s why you buy the Tm gbbr mp7. For £420 you can buy the gun and a handful of mags. And I’d bet my life it would shoot better.

If I'm laying down £420 on a gun that cries out to be used in CQB, I'd want to know what that specific gun is shooting at, not what it's "expected" to shoot at. PatrolBase chrono their guns and supply the results with them, even their cheapest CYMAs. On 25/04/2019 at 12:21, ryaw said: I've shot one at Landwarrior 2 weeks ago. Construction felt solid. It looked good, had a nice range of stock extension, shot accurately, with quick trigger response and had a high ROF on an 11.1v lipo. 330FPS I wonder if there are different batches kicking around, or if LandWarrior have changed or chopped the springs in theirs? 380fps is 33% more energy than 330, it's not the sort of variation I'd expect to see by accident. Come on, CYMA or JG, get with the cloning. I'll have a quick change or adjustable spring while we're at it.

They offer two versions the 330 fps for CQB and a 380 FPS I'm assuming they offer as an "other skirmish type" gun. Will wait for him to say how it performs but we are both expecting that changing the hop rubber/nub will be straight off the bat but other than that should be pretty formidable and a contender against the gas versions.

Good on them for offering that service.

Apparently it's an aluminium inner barrel which on a premium gun is absurd so that's going to want changing out as well

I think hes planning on changing the barrel and hop rubber/nub but not in the immediate future.

But if you buy a CYMA in the UK from PatrolBase, it will come downgraded to under 350fps, with chrono results. TaiwanGun and GunFire will also both cheerfully downgrade AEGs to 1J or so. And that's the cheapest guns that they sell. UK sellers should not be selling a ~380fps CQB gun in the UK, because for one thing, it's perilously close to being over 1.3J and therefore not an airsoft gun. I'd expect them to offer to downgrade it, and at an absolute minimum to be crystal clear up front that it'll likely need work to be usable. To still list it as "around 300fps" is a cad's trick, especially at that eye watering price.

GOLLEM Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 I would rather have the tm tried and tested and I have to say the 1-1 scale doesn't really affect the gun it's a toy at the end of the day
