Tanaka: Coming Soon
Update of models from Tanaka: two gas replicas, which are already known, with somewhat modified appearance:

- M500PC Magnum Compensated Hunter 10.5in (14,553 Yen, 97.77 EUR, 125.04USD)
- COLT GBB .380AUTO Inox (12,348 Yen, 82.95 EUR, 106.09USD)

I kind of like the M500.

I wonder what kind of power the 10.5" 500 will produce

Cheers.

Exactly. What kind of gas you need to use to keep it under 0.98J at +35C? Butane? Silicone spray?!?

Reminder: Butane has corrosive elements and is not useful in airsoft guns. Unlike some newbies tend to believe.

Butane is corrosive? Oops.. lol as an experiment I attempted to shoot a mag full of butane... Twas hilarious.

Now I just use it in my lighters lol.

Butane is corrosive?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

A quick correction to my initial post: pure butane isn´t exactly corrosive, but certain elements added in some cigarrette lighter fuels (mostly butane) are. But in general, the output power of butane (or even butane/propane mixtures) is such weak that it´s not worth to put harmful materials through gas gun.

So, not strictly yes or no, but the cons outweight the pros. Since this wasn´t the point in my original post, I wanted to keep it brief.

I prefer the M500 thay already have out by far.

[snowman]

Which one?

Cheers.

[Runner]

Both, I guess, I just don't like this new one.

[Sledge]

Which both of the three (assuming we're not including different finishes as well)?

[snowman]

It's an acquired taste, 10.5" is probably too much, but I quite like the 6" barreled version which is already out.

I notice there's a 4" Colt Python coming too (news from Moji).

Yeah, you're probably right, there are very few long revolvers i like.

Cool, I hope it shoots more than 300fps (not 190fps like some of their guns..)

Which both of the three (assuming we're not including different finishes as well)?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

All three are nice, I just can't tell from the pictures that the blue is actually blue...

[Classicx]

Are the shells removable for Tanaka revolvers?

[Wege]

Nope.

i'm thinking a shot-put

[evilliboba]

6mm

[fal]

wow 10.5inch. Prob you can even put custom stock on it and use it as primary lol. I'm wondering about the quality of hopup though. To my exprience, hopup s on Tanaka revolver were not very stable, which affects range and accuracy greatly.

[snowman]

The 500's hop-up is excellent - All the old problems are gone.

Cheers.

Why are they all so ugly? Why?!?
