It's been my biggest aesthetic peeve with these models. They're darn near idiot proof, rarely jam (since the mechanism is a motor instead of the blowback), go bang, smoke a little eject casings... I wish they were select fire, but at $40 each you can't expect too much. Hopefully I'll get some pictures up with the new mag soon, but here's ...

No wait! In the summer of 2008 Marushin did announce that they are releasing another shell-ejecting GBB pistol, the Glock 21. Very interesting! Modelguns aren't cheap or easy to find, and as far as I'm concerned this would be almost as good. Wonder what they'll run for. I do have a shell-ejecting gas blowback Marushin uzi, but it's got problems- it ...

Not sure I agree that there's much, if any, kick on a gas blowback... but interesting to see how they work and the evolution of them.]]> Airsoft and Paintball Fri, 12 Sep 2008 17:11:13 GMT http://fightdesigner.forumotion.com/airsoft-and-paintball-f10/principals-of-gas-blowback-t85.htm#325 http://fightdesigner.forumotion.com/airsoft-and-paintball-f10/principals-of-gas-blowback-t85.htm http://fightdesigner.forumotion.com/airsoft-and-paintball-f10/new-models-from-palco-t79.htm Rick Has anyone found them anywhere else, preferably at discounted prices?

The challenge is making them look real, of course, when they're ABS plastic or rubber. Coloring is only half of it- an important half of course, and I often try to weather things (a little silvery streaking where things would slide together or where bluing might be rubbed off by holster draws), add details (red dot on the safety, white dots on the sights), etc. The finish needs ...

Blank finishes are pretty easy to fake with decent spraypaint, and polished metal can have orange paint sanded or scraped off and be re-polished... but metallic ABS finishes are a pain in the butt. Anyone found a good touch-up paint for that? Nice chrome or nickel finish that doesn't also gunk things up, fill in gaps, etc?
