Gas is loaded under the reciever, the bolt must be cocked in order to load gas, or else the gas will leak out.

so youd have to carry around two sizes of BBs if you have a backup weapon? that seems rather annoying. Is there a reason why they use different bbs? specially at only 10 BBs per mag.

Actually its only 8 rounds in the clip, but spare clips only cost $11 (which is very cheap) so I'm going to stock up on about 10 or so clips. Also, carrying around different sizes of bb's is not very annoying. I can think of far worse things I’ve had to carry around than just bb's. Umm all my food that I planned on eating for the day which in the end either got squished, and the chocolate melted. But that’s airsoft man!

I think in the case of the M1 Garand, as we see in Erik's post, that this is the first time an ASC member can ACTUALLY use the word clip in reference to an airsoft gun. Erik, I think you made ASC history, congrats!!!!
I used a Marushin 8mm M500 gas shotty a few times and can't say that I actually LIKE the 8mm BBs and the way they fly. Seem very lightweight when in your hand, even if they are just above of the .43g BBs I have for my sniper rifles. 0.46g even feels light. Never shot single fire with the 8mm, but three 8mm flying run on propane didn't impress me a whole lot. In my basement testing the thing though, impressive large holes ripped into the paper each shot. Be nice if the M1 was available in 6mm as well.
In the end, thanks Eric, the Garand is a sweet weapon! Glad to see first impressions are positive! |
