QUOTE ("Spartan Imports") The hottest 2 models from Marushin are now IN STOCK! The Marushin 8mm Gas Powered M1 Garand and M2 Carbine! These latest Gas Powered rifles from Marushin are now HFC22a Super Power Green Gas Compatible! Marushin has redesigned their M1 Garand and M2 Carbine for the US Market, and is exclusively imported by Spartan Imports. The M1 Garand and M2 Carbine are 8mm Gas Power models and feature real wood. They look and feel authentic and were some of the most popular Airsoft guns we have exhibited at our booth for the past year! They shoot hard. Probably too hard to mention here due to fps limits, but more info from Airsoft Extreme as follows: Marushin M1 Garand - U.S. Version Marushin M2 Carbine - U.S. Version -------------------- |

My god, that's sniper velocity. Assuming 8mm can actually fly as well as 6mm.

so... without discussing the actual velocities. with green gas, would that be more or less dangerous than, say, a Tanaka pre-ban sniper rifle?
i mean 8mm must be less dangerous than 6mm in terms of joule to joule impact, but when traveling at the same fps are 8mm bbs more, less, or equally dangerous to a person? -------------------- Have an AUG carbine barrel you might want to sell?? PM ME!

Personally I'd take an 8mm bruise over an 6mm hole...
I'm hoping there's some way to lower the velocity though. -------------------- |

Isn't everyone forgetting something called "minimum engagement distance"?

Kind of makes me disappointed I bought a walnut Garand back in march....Oh well, maybe they will be in stock for more than two days this time and I can get another one later, or even the M2. Definately wouldnt want to get sprayed with an M2 on full auto and green gas. Ouch. (IMG:http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/style_emoticons/default/wide-eyed.gif)

I think they are. I've encountered a few Garands and they all worked very nicely...

Oh man. I would love a M1 Garand. Someone needs to check them out, make sure they are worth it. Maybe AEX will do a review?...

QUOTE (Donut @ Aug 24 2007, 10:49 PM) lawl, I can see your life flash before your eyes... I know what you mean, I just broek the news to my Girlfriend. Actually, she's extatic too, so it's all good. Her grandfather faught in WWII and she think's it's great that I'm taking an interest in history (although that's only part of the reason I'm buying one (IMG:http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). If it's anything like the lower powered cousins it'll be a great gun. Our support gunner for our squad bought one for kicks a year and a half ago and it's a great little gun, save for the power issue, which has been corrected. |
