DarkLite Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 http://www.dentrinityshop.com/pr_details.jsp?pid=8469 What is the point? It costs more than half the gun does anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 It'll make the gun weigh more? Meh, I seem to be the only guy who can't understand why SOCOM NBB owners want a metal slide, so I'm not able to help on this either. Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 because its metal it HAS to be better. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Ah, I forgot. Metal on a gun: - Makes it more powerful - Makes your penis bigger - Makes ladies tear off their clothes and dance in front of you - Makes you a sexual tyrannosaurus. Like me. I feel foolish for forgetting all that. Link to post Share on other sites
sirrith Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 i bought it because it looks better, and should be stronger than the regular slide Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 but the slide doesnt move! i couldnt care if it was made from cardboard (well i would, but im allowed to exagerate) if it works, why change it? Link to post Share on other sites

Hissing_Sid Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 It'll make the gun weigh more? Meh, I seem to be the only guy who can't understand why SOCOM NBB owners want a metal slide, so I'm not able to help on this either. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I love it when people come over all common-sensible about metal slides on NBBs. Since when has anybody given a f**k about practicality in airsoft? Remind me, again, why we need metal receivers on P90s, M4s and MP5s? I'll be honest, I DO want a metal slide for my Marui Mk23. I reckon it'd make it feel a LOT better in your hand and that's a good enough reason for me. Same thing goes for the Marui AEP. A metal slide is pointless but it'll make the gun look and feel a bit nicer. What's the problem? Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Um, I don't give a monkey's about metal receivers on P90s, M4s or MP5s, either. Link to post Share on other sites

[edit] TBH, I've fitted metal slides to every gun I own and I've never once thought to myself "I'm doing this so it'll run more reliably on green gas and so that it'll last longer." I fit them cos they look and feel good. Link to post Share on other sites
Dickens Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I concur! Its all about the realism and fun in airsofting, not practicality! Metal rules! (unless in real steal the gun is not metal e.g. UMP,G36 e.t.c) Link to post Share on other sites

Sledge Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Brilliant. It solves the problem of the slide not locking back owing to the notch on the plastic slide wearing down. Pretty practical, methinks. Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty practical, methinks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Right. And that'd be the reason you bought it? Or, alternatively, I could go back to the thread where you say the Marui HiCapa is more reliable than the HFC one and prove you wrong in that instead. Take your pick.

Sledge Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 That's the reason I bought it. The gun still worked reliably, it just didn't lock back. Prior to buying the slide, I researched and found that I seem to have been unlucky in this regard, with no other Hi Capa users reporting this problem. The TM gun is CLEARLY superior to the full metal knockoffs on everything I've seen thus far. Bring it on. Link to post Share on other sites

The TM gun is CLEARLY superior to the full metal knockoffs on everything I've seen thus far. Bring it on. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Out of interest, what slide did you but and how much was it? Just curious. I still maintain that a whole industry exists to supply metal parts and guns to people who just want fancier looking stuff so there is a valid reason for it. Must admit, I think everybody feels the same way you do to some extent. Personally I get the hump big-time when I see 1001 different bloody WA slides and not a single damned one for the Marui Mk23. Would it kill Zeke to make a Mk23 slide instead of a 6" Kimber slide with milled sides and vertical grip plates as opposed to the 6" Kimber slide with milled sides and diagonal grip plates which is below it on the WGC site?

Sledge Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Damn straight. How come there's about three thousand metal slides and frames for WA guns, but when I want one for my KSC M945 (because it's a little too light, and there's lingering concerns about running it on green) there's one bloody metal body kit? Surely if they made slides for more guns, more people would buy them and the cost would come down? Oh, wait. This is airsoft. Silly me. Anyhoo, the slide was $100 from WGC here. Got it becasue I wanted a black one without the grip bit at the front of the slide as well as the back, and this was the only one. Plus, there's a pretty picture of an Eagle on it.

Hissing_Sid Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Plus, there's a pretty picture of an Eagle on it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And, in case you mistook it for a hawk, or a falcon, it conveniently says "EAGLE" in big letters too. Result! Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to thank all of you that are buying metal slides for your ebbs, I mean AEPs (oops, sorry to let that one slip). You have thoroughly amused me. So "it's all about the realism" huh? it's an AEP! No realism intended. I'd rather get a KSC G18C for LESS MONEY, and it will already be more realistic. The clip (that's right, I said clip) will be the right size and the slide will move. You want the gun to feel realistic? Then don't get an AEP! I mean seriously! I understand putting a metal slide on a NBB, but an AEP? That's just silly. It's a glorified squirt gun! Oh well, it's your money. *goes in garage to forge a metal reciever for Super Soaker 50* Aaron Link to post Share on other sites
