Slightly off-topic, but does anyone make a full metal DE? I don't think I've ever seen one around.

Thenooblord · June 4th, 2009, 20:55

no, but there are metal kits for 200 bucks, includess slide and outer barrel, so everything but the grip

Gunny_McSmith · June 4th, 2009, 20:58

also the field strip of the KWC Deagle is different I think, check on youtube for that....

guarder makes a complete kit but again its 200...and thats the price in hk... lol cant imagine the price of it landed...i think the one you were talking about is the zeke metal slide/barrel witch I THINK is discontinued

Well its a kit that illusion said he could get me, thats as far as i got

You can still find Zeke kits, though as with any hobbyist type of company you need to snatch things up while they're still available. Creation also has a beautiful FMU DE kit but the USD price is already pretty staggering.

For the record, there's actually quite a bit of metal in the TM DE. While it may be all plastic externally, the slide rides on a metal sub-frame that's only evident once you've stripped the gun.

EDIT: They pack quite a punch out of the box, too. Once upon a time I chronied 3 of them - all fairly new, all stock except for recoil springs (which have no bearing on the velocity). Using Guarder BBs (hadn't yet discovered Bastards) they all consistently chronied 340-350.

I got mine from multikam for 260. The normal KWC hop up is easy to get to.

As for field stripping, KWC is like the real steel. Press button on side, slide release on other side to open position, barrel comes off pull trigger and slide comes off, done.

removing the barrel from the slide assy on the tm is a real pain the ass though...

When the KWC falls apart in your hands after a month of minimal shooting I'll be right here to say I told you so.

Shall we put money on it?

Crunchmeister · June 5th, 2009, 11:26

KWC have a reputation for basically falling apart after minimal use, and replacement parts aren't available as TM parts, if at all. As much as I'd like more metal on my gun, when I do get a Deagle, it will be a TM. Unless some other reputable company company like KSC / KWA starts making one.

The falling apart pushed me. Investing in the TM, heh.

TM is superior. While it will be more expensive to make it Full Metal, it will be worth it, as performance and reliability will be stellar.
