Guest Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 Can you post the actual link, as I cant find that info anywhere
Supporters TheFull9 Posted November 12, 2021 Supporters Posted November 12, 2021 Don't point your gun where it shouldn't be pointed and you'll almost certainly always be just fine. Applies to TM G19 Gen4s, and literally every other RIF. Cannonfodder, Crazy_Crystal and Jacob Wright 3

Applies to TM G19 Gen4s, and literally every other RIF. It'd still be nice for it to not fire when you inserted the mag. Although we shouldn't even be relying on not "flagging" people. If you don't want to shoot someone who isn't wearing eye pro, make sure mags are out and chambers are clear. If you want to at least make a concentrated effort not to shoot a team mate, trigger discipline n' all that... Also confusingly the pic is of a Gen.3 ?

I know he is an American and slapping a gun down is an appropriate reaction, I just wish he had the class to administer a swift “judo chop” Sean Connery style to the wrist to disarm him instead.

If by wrist you mean throat, agreed. I'm still not sure if that clip is a genuine reaction. It's apparently from a Bad Boys for Life production meeting where they were going over the gnus that were going to be used. There's a cringe Hollywooded-up video version going around where they edited in another later segment to make it seem like he grabbed and cleared it rather than slapping it away. That's the shorter, more plausible version, although even that's obviously been edited between the stare and the slap. Still, kudos for even that much reaction, in a world where Alec Baldwin exist.
Stratton Oakmont Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 Not a chance, it’s staged and choreographed to make a point. I would have been happier if they had left the whole film on the cutting room floor, it’s diabolically shit. I expect the deeply unfunny Martin Lawrence’s investment portfolio was struggling so he called in a favour to Will Smith to boost his funds
BigStew Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 So has anyone with a new generation Glock actually managed to make it fire this way? Paul72 1

Will seemingly has a whole team to manage his social media and do these cringe little videos with massive production value and editing etc.
Cr0-Magnon Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Back on topic. It seems they've gone back to the drawing board with both the gen.4 19 & 17. I saw on their twitter that in December they were offering owners of either the opportunity to apply for a new hammer assembly for either model. Seems some of the measurements were out. Also a few UK retailers have recently received Marui deliveries and neither model seems among the items restocked. So I guess there will be a new batch in which this issue doesn't occur.

Jacob Wright Posted February 17, 2022 Author Posted February 17, 2022 Good to know, thanks for the update! I’ll keep saving my pennies for the new-new model then!

Yeah I've been keeping an eye on it as was planning to pick one up. I've just taken delivery of my "850th" Gen.3 19. Because they're also excellent.

That would explain why firesupport have taken off all the TM Glocks. I was really wanting a G26 as well.

Actually no, I think they've done it for licencing reasons. They're recently increased their stock of Umarex Glocks and removed all trace of any TM G series products. 30 minutes ago, Cannonfodder said: Bugger, I've been eyeing up a Glock 19 for a while now ...and you hate the gen.3? It's also got the 15mm cylinder, so just as snappy and the externals are of the same quality.

Jacob Wright Posted February 19, 2022 Author Posted February 19, 2022 I actually have a Gen 3 and reckon it’s hands down the best GBB pistol I’ve ever owned, I just wanted a Gen 4 for you know … the collection ? Cr0-Magnon 1
