Sure you can go anywhere to find a American gun, German gun??? why not they'll be in WalMart wholesale by 2010. However a Russian or British gun you must look long... and look hard. (I'm talking WWII) Although the Russian guns are coming out quicker the British guns, (especially the Lee-Enfield) aren't coming out fast enough!!! (Voice in Back): The Sten's and Thompson's are British guns! No... they shouldn't exist Also CAN ANYONE get a Mas-38 French SMG for the sheer fact of saying "Oh what now?" these early war countries are disrespected!!! who doesn't want a Madsen M21??? or a Hotchkiss I also vote for the existance of AirSoft AT Rifles... who doesn't wanna get a headshot with a Panzerbouche? ;D That's my rant on the lack of guns thank you for reading... or n ot

First of one can find Russian weapons dirt cheap. Secondly, the tommy was a British gun? No. It was American. I can see how you would get confused because America shipped over a lot of tommy's as a result of the Lend-Lease Act.

Russian WWII guns are hard to find. EEEWWHAAAA? Helen Keller could find a mosin-nagant online in under a minute. Click's right too, the only thompsons sent to the brits were part of the lend-lease act in the earlier part of the war. Despite what Battlefield 1942 (too old for anyone to relate to?) tries to pull off.

Ignore his psychotic rant, he does this all the time. He gets tired of being pwnt in WWIIOL and makes things up in his little mind, you get used to it.

If he's talking about AIROSFT guns, then yes, Russian weapons are tough to find. Other than that, I have no clue how he could be complaining.

Russian WWII era airsoft guns are hard to find, yes. But hey, Someone on here has an airsoft mosin-nagant that cost under $25 and a little hard work. That imo is something we can live with.
Personally, I'm counting my blessings on everything thats gone good for WWII airsofting so far this year. Late last year the agm m14 was introduced, leading to 2nd bat's garands being in a price range more can afford. We have springer Kar98's, Springfields, and mosin-nagants that are emerging from workshops from all over. We have an aeg BAR other than the JAC's (hell, theres even a modified resin one). Lets not forget the bazooka Cary and Tommygunner built. We have the agm mp40's, finally a solid affordable gun for the germans. We have the new cyma/cybergun m1a1 thompsons, their low priced mags, and their cheaper wood kits. We have the various .30 cals and stingers made by killbucket. And most recently marushins new m1 carbine, WHICH STILL NEEDS THE 15RD STYLE MAGAZINE. The creations that have emerged from shmitty and others' workshops belong in a category of their own as well. I think we shouldnt complaining too much, 2007's given us more than our fair share.

Also what of Italy? They have a Beretta 1934, but that is it. I would love to see a Breda 30 or even a Carcano 91!!! *sigh* Off to the workshop...

The only way you could make an Italian gun authentic is leave it unfired and only dropped once. There are far too many of the main protagonists not replicated yet to start even looking at French and Italian stuff.
Us still needs an affordable Garand AEG (I make one but at almost $600.00 it's out of reach for most players) an AEG Grease gun and carbine would be awesome a quality and affordable Springfield and Kar 98 under $200.00 would rock. and a STG 44 and Gewere 43 under $350.00 would be outstanding. How about a $350.00 BAR?
Things have definitely gotten better n the WW2 airsoft weapons front in the past few years but we have a long way to go. Once these itches have been scratched lets look for Mosins and PPSs and Carcanos and Johnsons etc.

The day aeg garands come out in large numbers will be a great day for this hobby. Also, an aeg carbine (christ, even a 15rd style mag on marushin's m1) would make me happy.

Bertta 38s were used by the Germans, the FJ had a whole plant turing out sub guns for them.
I got a chance to fire a real one at a re-enactment and it was a hoot! Opening up on GIs with full auto.

There are far too many of the main protagonists not replicated yet to start even looking at French and Italian stuff. True, they do need a main stream BAR and Stg 44. I have been looking into making an AEG M2 carbine, but right now I am modding my bazooka into a Panzershreck. ;D

Good luck with the Pazerfaust and AEG carbine. I know with the carbine there are real issues with the limited dimensions. But it would definitely be awesome and very welcomed.

An Italian Carcano would be an easy build as all you need is to make something that looks halfway similar then stick a firecraker in it and kabam! You got a Carcano lol.

The panzershreck it complete, but I need to make it look more like a panzershreck with the shield and other stuff. I believe that ncthorn is Italian bashing, but there are two kind of people in this world. Those who are Italian, and those who wish to be Italian.

I found 2 at a gunshow in Salt Lake City back in '96, cheap too $80 a piece , and also i restored one that i got for free. You might try and look for them at gunshows , one thing that is not cheap are the clips for them and you need them unless you want to shoot your Carcano single shot , you can find Carcanos in the original Italian 6.5mm, 7.35mm or in German 8mm.

The reason I talked about putting a firecracker in the Carcano is that I know of at least 3 that have blown up from simple and careful use. Now I cannot remember if they had been converted to another caliber but i do remember at least one in either 6.5mm or 7.35mm that blew its magazine off when fired. It seems that the Carcanos may not have had the tolerances that other WWII rifles had. Im sure there are some good ones out there but there are also some real lemons (more so than many other major WWII arms).

Well today my father pick up a Mosin Nagant M44 for $100, and it came with bayonet, ammo pouches, slings, and some other small stuff. Sadly all the ammo will not be back in till the 16th.

Hopefully I will be able to order an M44 Here in the next few days (Got a 4.0 for this 6 weeks so my parents said they will reward me hehe). I already have a K98 and a "Hex" receiver M91/30 as well as a Steven's pump action .22, a Winchester 1885, and 2 H&R .38 S&W revolvers. InterOrdinance carries nice beech stocked M44s for $63 plus shipping if you have an FFL. Good deal IMO.
