Cr0-Magnon Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I came on this morning expecting there to already be a thread but couldn't find anything, so what's the general consensus on desirability? To recap: - Gen.4 Glock 17 that we already knew about will be available at the end of the month. - Two new "concealed carry" Non Blowback models. The Ruger LCP and M&P Shield Bodyguard (the latter looks to have a laser/light built in). - FN FNX-45 soon to be available in black. I think someone on here has already dyed one? Does anyone plan to pick any of these up? What would you rather have seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromulon1994 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I can see myself buying the shield bodyguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroshark Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Knew about the Ruger from the teaser. I would have had it regardless of gindan, spring, nbb or gbb. I did suspect a nbb though. Those tiny guns are mine. A lot of people seem wounded though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skara Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I may get the glock. Would be cool to see a recoil mp5, a 1:1 AEG/GBB mp7 and a GBB mk23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr0-Magnon Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 I know they're Marui but if those tiny NBB's are more than £100, they're massively overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 If they shoot like the MK23, it might be worth it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heroshark Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 According to a friend I asked as he knows a bit of Japanese. No mention of adjustable hop. Although I've shimmed fixed hops to lift heavier bbs. Mention of more compact nbb models based on the system. The M&P hasn't got a laser. From what I see it's a fixed barrel with loading nozzle in the mag. Price will be 6300yen about £50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albiscuit Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Meh. Not for me. the fnx looks cool but there’s far too many pistols on the market already. A recoil mp7 Aeg would have been a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaBear Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Now an FNX-45 in black sounds appealing... The existing tan/brown version simply looks too plastic for my taste...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromulon1994 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 An ar18 would be nice, Mariu could piss one of those out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised that they haven't made one, seeing as the RS was built under license by HOWA Machinery in Japan and was the basis for the Type 89.

There are stories told that TM have mock ups for many guns but what gets made is dictated by what they think will sell in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneTactix Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I know a lot of people here love Tokyo Marui and I had an old TM M4 I loved and tried some of their more recent guns, but I have to say they just seem a bit boring. The innovation for me would be seeing their own designs come out, variants yes, but also homebrew Japanese cyber kit, or cold war era adaptations... stuff that isn't the same old weapons. Just my take on "latest" releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr0-Magnon Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 I definitely get where you're coming from. Without going off on a tangent, after having a SCAR L NGRS I do feel they're a bit overrated, don't get me wrong it's a great gun but not convinced it warrants the price tag at 290fps stock and no mosfet etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo Marui don't actually export any of their guns, this is done by independent exporters which may go someway to explaining the pricing but this is pure speculation as I don't have Japanese prices to compare it to. As a final point, while they may only push out around 290fps they frequently out range and out shoot much higher FPS competitors simply due to product quality and their quality control standards. For me the biggest let down with Tokyo Marui is that they haven't revisited and updated their old guns. I suspect they would see increased sales for older model NGRS systems such as their AK74-M and G36 line if they were updated to include the stop on empty feature which the NGRS is known for.
