Darkmikey22 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I must admit Im Showing my age, but I had a few of those from the catalogue. My springer xm177 used to have a lever that pulled down from underneath the handguard so you could cock the weapon. Not from that book, but the one I did miss was my centre meter master nbb pistol.
BigStew Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Some of those RC were released as Tamiya. I wonder who OEM'd for whom? but sooo 80s why oh why can't they produce GBBs of some of those? Paul72 and Druid799 2
Cannonfodder Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 Shame they don't still do the MP5s with the skinny foregrips

Not quite up to today's standards though ☺️. https://youtu.be/cI2Qsm0oayE
colinjallen Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 Love the very early MP5 with the slimline handguard:).
Skullchewer Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Back in the 90s I bought a TM MP5, through my Japanese wife's friend. It was a simple springer. I wasn't into Airsoft, didn't know it was a thing. I just liked guns in video games and thought it would be a fun thing to have. It was. It got left in a cellar during a house move. Probably worth quite a bit now ?
Supporters Rogerborg Posted February 11, 2022 Supporters Posted February 11, 2022 Huh, tracers in 1989, I had no idea. Any idea how they worked then? I'm guessing always-on UV rather than the modern solution of sensors, capacitors and UV LEDs, but... TM magic.

Even further back in the early 80s I was building the original Airsoft model kits Some of them still exist in the attic at varying states after hard use

I'm guessing always-on UV rather than the modern solution of sensors, capacitors and UV LEDs, but... TM magic. They made a later version of the Scorpion with an internal tracer. A lot of the spring long guns had battery compartments but they never bothered doing them afaik , they just added weights in them. 56 minutes ago, Tommikka said: Even further back in the early 80s I was building the original Airsoft model kits Some of them still exist in the attic at varying states after hard use The LS model kits .
