King Arms Thompson M1A1

[Peter11]

I am not sure if I should post this here because I am new to this site, so sorry for any problems. I really like how the Thompson looks but I can only find one airsoft Thompson on the market. Does anyone know if this gun is worthwhile or if I should keep looking. I have been playing airsoft for a while and want to purchase a gun that will satisfy me. I don't want to have the need to buy another gun in a year because this one is just.. average. Any thoughts would be helpful.

I suggest getting Aved and posting in the wanted section for it.

As for the that gun I have actually never seen a king arms M1A1. How ever I have seen the TM and the cyber gun and both are pretty good. They use a v6 mechbox so upgrades are pretty easy to find *same as the p90*. Pretty good ROF. Now w/e King arms has done to this gun or not done I don't know. But generally the m1a1 is a descent gun.

Would anyone know if the TM Thompson M1A1 magazines work on the King Arms Thompson? I ask because of the various M1A1 magazines available for sale the TM ones seem the easiest to buy (i.e. they seem to be in stock in many places).

I know that the KA Thompson is a very new release so there might not be too much information about this AEG yet.

i would assume so since the tm mags are also cyma compatible, that being said. no personal experiance

KA Thompsons appear to be the best out of the box Thompson yet. Externals are much better than any of the other options.

Yes they will fit. The KA Thompson is essentially a Cyma / Cybergun Thompson with some King Arms internals (gears, bushings, piston head). I cannot confirm if the selector plate or tappet plate is made of that cool KA red plastic.

As far as mags go, there is a tight fitting issue in regards to using a Cyma Hi Cap mag on a TM Thompson. Other than that, there are no real mag issues with any of the Thompson AEG's.

From what I have read, The KA Tommy gun with real wood is the made with a metal lower receiver, however the one with fake wood has a plastic lower, even though is advertized as "full metal".
