Is the pipe hollow? Or is it casted with a plug? Do you recommend a website for these? Could you make a video when you try these out? With a cap? Are they durable or is it zinc?
Which button activates the train noise? hahaha I can imagine Arnold Schwartzeneggar using an XM148 in the mid-90's saying, "ALL ABOAARD" with the train noise bellowing from the launcher, great short.
Guns were brought to Japan in 1542 during the Age of Discovery, and records say that they were introduced by the Portuguese. At this time, the Japanese learned about screws. Japanese people basically have an accurate understanding of the origin of things, and when it comes to things that were not discovered by ourselves, we deeply respect the discoverers and the people who inherited them. After doing so, Japanese have a habit of trying to improve them to make them even better. Japanese elementary schools teach history classes about the deep historical ties with Portugal and Spain.😊
This country where I am bought Lugers. More than once for their armed forces. Most came from D.W.M. Some from Mauser. I think also Spain bought them too. "We" did. Here in Portugal. Around 1960,they chenge the Lugers for the Walther P-38. The P-38 remained with our military people, until the 90s. Now all the armed forces and police, have Glocks...
I prefer gas replicas, so far!! The only one electric replica I own, it was bought because at that time there was no gas version of it. And also because it is Japanese, made by Marushin, a brand never seen on this country. It still work well after 30 years or so. Well made things...
The top quality of these replicas, can be seen even on their grip fitting, among other things. Every time he wants to change the grips, it is not easy... 😮. This means good work...
Very well made, this replica. I wish that mine had all the trade marks. But as mine are not Japanese, they got nothing. Why does this one does not have the chamber indicator? Unbelievable in a replica of this level!!!
I did not noticed that. But, along with the materials, that is one of the requirements to make it a model gun. Along with the obstruction of the barrel. If it is a Japanese replica, it MUST be made of plastic, on the main parts. Or made of brass, and NOT painted. The attention to the detail is incredibly on Japanese model and replica guns!!
As you said, all the guns I am introducing are model guns. In Japan, the possession of real firearms is regulated by law, but through the tireless efforts of gun enthusiasts and negotiations with the authorities, it is possible to manufacture and possess full-size models with certain conditions. The important requirements are that it cannot fire live ammunition, and that it can be determined at a glance that it is not a real gun when the muzzle is pointed at it. As the mechanism cannot fire live ammunition, the barrel must be made of resin. If metal is used, it must be colored yellow (gold) or white, and the muzzle must be closed. When it comes to resin, ABS is lighter, so heavy weight resin, which is made by kneading metal powder into the resin, is often used. In the case of heavy weight resin, blueing can also be applied using its properties. I understand that the metal plate inside the cylinder is a type of voluntary regulation by an industry group that attempts to ensure safety by blocking not only the muzzle but also the cylinder itself. Products that have passed industry group standards will have the SPG mark engraved somewhere on the gun. Recently, consideration has been given to ensuring that the completeness of the model is not compromised by engraving it in hard-to-see places such as the inside of the grip. For real trademarks, model gun manufacturers must pay a high license fee to obtain certification from the real gun manufacturer. Perhaps for this reason, model guns in recent years are very expensive. There are scale models available for things that cannot be enjoyed in full size, such as railroad models, aircraft models, and sailing ship models. There are no models of things that are easily available, such as cameras, smartphones, and game consoles. Because they cannot be legally owned, model guns are probably the only real-size models that retain the mechanisms of the real thing but have their actual functions removed.
In addition… These models can use a special cap powder to ignite without firing a bullet. Japanese model gun manufacturers such as Hartford and Craft Apple Works have a lineup of series that accurately reproduce old guns and can be examined from an academic perspective. Old guns are difficult to obtain even in the United States, so being able to actually experience gun mechanisms from various eras (including failures and prototypes) is a craft unique to the Japanese. This is probably a manifestation of Craftsman’s spirit and intellectual curiosity.
Nice Channel , and really nice Video ! But i whould`nd do that Oil coating .... your gun is protected by the Paint or coating... i have a Full Steel LCT M60VN .... 1 from 100 Limited ever made. Its Full Steel, its 7 Years old ... and there is no rust. Same to all the real Guns. You can Wipe them with oil from time to time thats not bad right but even then, use weapons oil insted of silikon oil. Really nice gun =) Thanks for sharing. I subscribe
its funny how VFC's slogan is "No Compromise" but their products always have a bunch of penny pinching compromises. Just look at the included dummy round belt lol.
Gas or electric? What do you do if your this kind of thinking "super soldier" GI after you've been clipped by a 1960 era sks at 300m? 13yrs as a 11BVT in too many 3rd world shit holes around the world proves that the guy clipping meat to eat everyday to feed his family sleeping on a 1/2 inch mat & covered up with just a sheet beats the "high speed" soldier with $3000 worth of gear in the wilds huh?
