It's been on the main page for a while now...

As usual we get shafted up the arse with the price of them though, in the US you can buy them for about £50-60, over here £110!

You'd be aswell spending an extra few quid and just getting a TM one in my opinion.

Yeah, but for someone who is looking to start skirmishing and does not have loads of cash handy it would be fantastic.

Don't forget that the UTG comes with Battery, Charger, Sling, 2 hi-caps, included in the price whereas with a Mauri or better known brand you have to buy all the essentials extra which costs even more .

To be honest I think 110 quid for a decent quality AEG is fantastic, although I don't like the way it costs more in pounds to buy a UTG here than it does in dollars in America .

True about the battery/charger etc, i forgot about all that.

Price is still pretty sh-t though compared to what it costs in the US. Might even be cheaper ordering one from the US yourself lol

precisely why i have ordered it except that i probably wont be using it alot its more for friends who want to go airsofting without the cost of hiring. this gun would probably make good hire gun for urban sites if the neccesary upgrades were done to to it like rewiring.

It is a shame that we have to pay so much but still works out to be a bargain!

edit: when your talking about all the extras you get with it its a decent £100 saving or so.

Glad to see them have an retail outlet in the UK. Means I can look at getting the sniper rifle when it comes out (if it is good, of course).

[Spantney]

Yeah I agree the price is a bit steep over here.

I don't really know if importing is worth it though, because sure you may save yourself 40 quid on the gun but once you take the shipping costs (AA would give free shipping with the UTG gun), tax, customs, etc...It all gets pretty pricey.

Mmm, not to mention the advantage of having the gun's warranty honoured on these shores. Should make any problems with the gun much quicker to sort.

I have a sawed-off on preorder

Would I be right in thinking that the UTG shotguns can't accept the short 22 rd magazines that fit flush in the Maruzens?

You are correct, the feed system in the UTG uses a spring rod to push the bbs up. In the Maruzen there is an extractor that pulls bbs out one at a time.
