ARMS Magazine - December 2008

[Aquamarine]

A little late (ok ok, a LOT late) but who cares? It's still ARMS magazine! Plus I'm tired of people PMing me asking for the latest issue. I have news for you... THE MAGAZINE COSTS MONEY AND NOBODY HAS PONIED UP TO BUY ANOTHER ISSUE!

Anyways, rant over. Here ya go.

No, that's not the Matrix... I'm not quite sure what it is.

[RacingManiac]

Do you buy "Gun" magazine too? I picked up an issue when I went to Taiwan, and a friend also bought me one from Japan....

[Aquamarine]

Nope, only ARMS. GUN is available too, but I don't bother since it's not that interesting to me. If you want me to start posting it, just PayPal me the cost of the magazine and I'll pick it up.

So despite the age of this mag.......


-Marushin never DID release a 1911 4'' or 1911 comp maxi shell ejector

-TM never did bother with a non-blow back styer GB (unless its one of those kiddy pistols and I just overlooked it)

-Tanaka got scared after the lawsuit due to their gas injected shells & never bothered to make a marushin like revolver.......(or that IS a marushin just miss-labled.....I dont know, the more I look at it...the less it makes sense)

-Tanaka also realized how silly it was to make a 8 shot revolver, probably upon realization that their own design allows 6 shot revolvers (even the small ones) carry up to 12-17 shots :S


Someone remind me not to get excited over any future ARMS mags that imply new product >.<

[RacingManiac]

That Tanaka might be a non-firing replica....

[hattrick]

It shows bb's being loaded into the shells & the grip split open showing the gas resivour....so.....yeah....no.

the steyr is an old pistol (out of production) http://www.justpistols.co.uk/steyrgb.htm

performance centre was release, it uses their pegasus system (gas in cylinder) http://www.wgcshop.com/wgc2008/main/...aka%20Handguns

ok, you're right about marushin

-edit; are you referring to the tanaka detective special? the title of the section "early toygun graffity" means that the featured gun is long out of production. occasionally they look at guns from the 80's and early 90's, sort of a 'classic car' section.

That Steyr might be out of production but there are tons here in Japan and super cheap too.
