First Hand Look On The M1 Garand

you should bring it to one of the tac-ops games and let every one see it.

is there an actual review of the gun coming any time soon?

I'm curious to know the velocity on this riffle

Where do you load gas into it?

If I was to get one I wuldconvert it to external gas and crank up the power a wee bit

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.

More stable flight properties

Just think of it as a smoothie. Bottoms up! :cheers:

That's why there's rations :grin:
God, I hate them... I had to eat them almost every day for a while, once, it was horrid.
Good thing is, they're so pasty they can't squish.

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!

some pictures would be nice to.

Chop Chop. Don't bother with spell check just get that review up with some cake shots.

Review is up! With pictures. I can take more if you like.

Erik

is there a way to fire off a clip WITHOUT it ejecting?

From what I know, no... I'll have to look into that one. there are a couple levers are little switches that I dont know what there used for, so I need to figure them out.

Hey Erik_james and everybody,

I just received my Marushin M1 Garand also. In fact, I was looking into the gun way before this gun even came out (even before Erik_james was looking at it). I bought it from Rangers Airsoft. They took more than 6 months to get it...they screwed up, sent me an m1 carbine instead, so i sent it back and they said they brought the garand over but supplier missed the order so they needed to backorder...you get the picture. I ordered it back in april. Yeah... Anyhow, if any of you are really into WWII realism and stuff which I am, I am extremely impressed by the weight and everything and all the details that Erik_james has said I agree with 100%. One thing to add for those of you who are really into this kind of thing, I bought a real M1 Garand bayonet for this gun way back when I first ordered the garand. It doesn't fit 100%. Somehow, there is this extra piece of metal that sticks out on the barrel that is a little too long that I believe should be part of the lug. The real steel garand has one also, but it is a little shorter allowing the bayonet catch to click into place. I know it's not like bayonets are allowed on the field anyway, but just to point and aim and play around with realism every now and again, it may be a little annoying. Thought I'd add to the detail.
