The next confirmed Marui AEP will be the 1911A1 Colt Government Series. From the singular page on Marui's website it does look nice. But really dissapointing as I was hoping for a TM 1911A1 GBB.

why make a GBB when they are obviously attempting to ranmp up the avaliaboilty of AEPS whilst they are the sole manufacturer? seriously HOW MANY GBB 1911s are there by different makers? its a saturated market which serves TM no favrours by entering.

teh aep for them is a new market segment which they have all the advantages in.

also the advantages of aeps will entice newer players to pistols above GBBs which lats face it can bea hog to maintain (looks at WA in general)

yes i personaly prefer GBB but most players i know who have them are dropping gbbs totaly to use aeps.
when quoting posts that contain a picture please remove the smegging image tags.


I have come to terms with many things in my life but as soon as you can accept that airsoft is a bunch of grown men dressing up as soilders and playing with toy guns in a glorified version of paintball or "army" you will have found the enlightenment to be honest with yourself

ive been airsofting for more than 14 years. ive played at most of the sites in england at least once.


do i REALY have to prove that im an airsofter in any other way?

Not necessarily so long as TM can make a decent and affordable 1911 GBB. These "other" 1911 GBB's you speak of wouldn't happen to be $200+ WA 1911's, would they? I think the price is the main reason many, like myself, are awaiting the KSC 1911.

On one hand, the mere apparance of the word "automatic" means nothing. On the other hand, if that's an actual shot of the production frame... The slide rail/guide on the lower receiver appears to be missing... I think it is an AEP.... blink.gif I think I need to get one.

...yeah unless someone translates that and it specifically says that it's an AEP, my money is on it being the long awaited GBB.

Automatic probably refers to the fact that the real one is an automatic pistol (as in not a revolver) same as where it says that it is a .45. That doesn't really look like a photo to me either... Still, could be an AEP, my money's on GBB though. So far I've only heard talk of a GBB version. I'm not against AEPs, but an AEP 1911 would be kinda wrong unsure.gif .

Noda-Ya say it's a GBB.

The present マルイガスブローバックガン one taste class in regard to one ranking which is different. The surface is not paint, the small grain is blown at high speed, " the sand blast it finishes " and in マルイ former ease of use, real it is one item of the prejudice to which expression is installed e.g., also the parting line of the part where it is conspicuous goes out, is not something which also the hallmark blew with the die and from after is struck with the hallmark machine.

Well if it is an AEP, why would they surprise us with this before the already announced M92f and Sig (i forget the model) AEP's? It could very well be a gas blowback, but then again I can't be sure that it's not an AEP.

If it is a GBB, let's hope it's a "HARDKICK."

Not invisible... just unreadable... I cant make heads or tails of the japanese OR what you wrote above. Any chance you could translate to dummy english for the rest of us?

Thanks much.

Yep, the Google translation is a bit double dutch, but "gas blow back" is pretty clear, n'est pas? (Sorry, that's "isn't it?"" wink.gif )
