Stevo4345 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Bought off a fellow forum user, my first RIF, looked like a good deal and he was a pleasure to do business with. The Krytac LMG-E, holo sight and case has a new home, and despite missing a lower handguard (which I have already sourced) it looks cracking! Might look into a folding keymod bipod to hang off each side of the handguard to give it more of a support weapon look, but then again may keep it light as with the semi and auto capability it should be manageable indoors and out. Being able to run off regular Stanag mags is a bonus too, seems very adaptable, can't wait to get home and try it out (damn thing arrived the day after I left the UK for work, 3 weeks to go!)

hitmanNo2 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Because it's not in use with US forces pretty much. If the SEALs start packing it, you can bet TM would have one out in an instant. Tackle, Druid799 and EDcase 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because not many people would actually want them probably. Most people stick to newer or more modern gear and guns and the Browning doesn't really fit that mold. Doesn't help that it was never adopted on a large scale by the US either Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted August 31, 2019 Supporters Share Posted August 31, 2019 I don't think US military adoption is necessarily all it is, but that is a factor. I think the BHP is troubled by being super generic looking to the vast majority of people out there and for some reason it just never gained any notoriety in general. Even though is was seriously advanced and miles ahead of its' time when initially designed and manufactured (pre-WW2) you barely see it featured prominently in films or games (especially compared to more popular pistols) and if you do its' looks will cause most people who only know a tiny bit about guns to mistake it for a 1911. It is odd because some of the most elite units of Nazi Germany used it as well as SF and Airborne elements from the commonwealth on the Allied side, then it was our standard issue pistol until the Glock came along in the mid-2010s so it did many decades of service. However it did become rather obsolescent in the 80s once the M9, P226 and similar started hitting the scene and obviously the entire internet and FPS games and airsoft didn't take off properly until the 90s. An awful lot of the guns that are cemented in to the popular parlance these days are designs that were all the rage in the late 80s-early 90s. The BHP sits in the awkward middle ground where its' WW2 service isn't much known or documented, yet its' popularity had faded come the golden age of action movies and the birth of our modern shooting games (virtual and real). It also kinda suffers from being too good in a way as there's nothing that stands out about it, it's mostly a boringly effective handgun and even worse its' plain looking to most folks as I mentioned. It's not a big .45 with chunky rounds, doesn't have a crappy single stack mag capacity like the P-38, no weird action like the Luger, no crazy plastic-fantastic like the Glock (that blew people's minds in the 80s). Mediocre triggers and sights on most of them as well, so while it is pretty good it's not an amazing performer either and didn't have the best rep for reliability in some military circles. Never had any really large community/industry around it doing modifications either. There was a little bit when pistols were still legal and there was more competition in the UK/Europe, but obviously the 1911s and Berettas would have been 'the thing to have' for civilians in the US.

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted August 31, 2019 Supporters Share Posted August 31, 2019 that's a good point, i've always found it a kind of meh handgun, nothing particularly bad about it, a lot is quite good especially in context, but it's just not exciting. it's like owning a vw golf, it's not bad, but it's not going to impress anybody either.

EDcase Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 But it was so iconic in the 80's... The SAS used it and it was in Beverly Hills Cop 😎 I don't understand why the 1911 is so much more popular now. Might have to start a new thread on this... 🙄 @Druid799: Mine doesn't have any hop adjustment. Its got the hex grub screw but its been glued in and when I looked in the hop housing there is no mechanical way for it to put pressure on the top anyway. Sounds like there are different versions Druid799 and Tackle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per usual MP5s and specifically ones with gigantic-massive lights attached to them. Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badllama Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Before they were banned in the UK I shot the Browning and 1911. The Browning was a fucking awful gun to shoot very wippy too light for it's own good the 1911 was brilliant loved shooting it. No relevance to airsoft of course 🙂 Druid799 and Tackle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
