MT Thompson M1A1 Vs: CYMA Thompson M1A1???

[Screaming_Eagle]

EDIT: Sorry, I meant TM in the title.
Hi Everybody,

I am seriously interested in purchasing an Airsoft Thompson. As soon as this issue has been settled, I will get age verified and wait for one to appear in the for sale section.

Anyways, Which one is better? I hear the CYMA shoots faster, but I also hear the the TM is the best in terms of quality.

Which one is worth buying?

Also, I wanted to buy an M1911, is the TM version any good?

Thanks very much to all,
Regards,

Eagle

tm thompson awesome internals, externals are good but nothing to write home about
cyma thompson awesome externals, internals not terrible but leaves much to be

as for the 1911 there are plenty more brands that make a awesome one. google some reviews about some of these guns

Get the Cyma.

Metal externals, anything internal can be replaced if need be.

I've heard good things about the Cyma thompson, plus its cheaper last time I inquired

[Gunny_McSmith]

for 1911, get a TM 1911 if you plan on upgrading it... at a price...lol.... since the stock body and frame a plastic, upgrading it will cost about 700$ (gun included)....

You could always get a WE 1911, for around 200-350$, but its not the best...but its more beginner friendly....since its full metal and cheaper...

You could also get a Army MEU (1911) those are TM clones....

Alright, Thanks for all of the help!
CYMA it is.

My cyma thompson is a great gun. Pushing two years old and still leaving welts on my enemy. ;P
KJW 1911 is a great gun also.

I love my Cyma, and if you can get the wood kit it looks AWESOME. And its cheaper, almost cheap enough to pay for the wood kit(which I would recommend for either Thompson). Internally its super easy to work on if anything goes wrong.

Yeah, go with the KJ M1911A1.

The WE one is bad on gas and isn't TM compatible.

Screaming_Eagle, good call on getting the Cyma Thompson.

You can buy 2 new Cyma Thompsons for the cost of one new TM Thompson.

The Cyma shoots hiigher out of the box and is FMU.

I have an upgraded Cyma Thompson w/ wood kit.

Exclellent aeg.

Sorry for the thread raise, but I had 2 questions:
What do you think about the Thompson that Canadian Tire is selling?

And what is a good price to put down on a CYMA Thompson with a full compliment of mags?

Thanks.

The one at Crappy Tire is a Cybergun, which I think is the same as the Cyma. Minus the metal body of course. I'd put it in the same category as the Kraken. But I haven't handled it, just read the box..

Once you get AVed, there are CYMA Thompsons currently available through both retailers and the classifieds. As per Surebet's thread, you're looking at three hundred dollars or a bit less for a new one without extras. More for one on the classifieds with a whack of mags, but still quite reasonable.

99.9% sure the clear Thompson has plastic gears like the one found at the bottom of this list.http://palcosports.com/catalog_produ...list_by_power=

The Cyma has a metal gearbox with metal gears.

99.9% Cybergun is a rebranding company that owns certain trademarks for airsoft use I don't believe they really do make anything.

Here is what I did to get my Cyma M1A1 Thompson Authentic.
1. Wood Kit (you will need access to a dremel: http://www.ebairsoft.com/authentic-t...ood-p-933.html

2. Kerr Sling: http://www.ima-usa.com/product_info....oducts_id/1440


3 Some knowledge easily found by using Google: http://www.rookscastle.com/tutorials/disassembly.html and YouTube - How to Disassemble the AirSoft Thompson

4. Some mags ( I use the KA 110 rounders):http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/catalogse...mpson+magazine

Here's what I am doing for an "authentic" military style M1928 (work in progress):

1. Wood kit plus: http://www.ima-usa.com/product_info....oducts_id/2388

2. Dremel out the top of the receiver and move the cocking handle up there it's stricly a "decoration".

3. Fill in the side of the receiver where to cocking handle was with a thin piece of metal (I used old press plates from a letter press and painted it). Not 100% happy with the outcome of this as yet.

4. "glue and shape a very similar looking thimble (buy a few) to the cocking handle to look like this:

Thanks for clearing that up shiftsup. I thought the CT one had metal internals, but we all know what thought did...
