I have been involved in airsoft for about 10 years, spent most of my time and gear in contemporary special forces and PMC loadout. Never really seriously thought about WWII reenactment until recently, but I do love guns, guns in any time period I like them all. My airsoft collection is saturated in the modern era so I thought I want to add some diversity, specifically WWII guns. I am not really into which particular model, but I do have to point out I am only interested with actual 1:1 scale replicas.
I have seen many airsoft guns, even high end ones claim to be 1:1 but in fact they are slightly off when you compare them to the real steel. Tokyo Marui is one of them. Every airsoft replicas made by TM is not 1:1, and that includes every TM clones out there. The only few 1:1 airsoft guns I have are Systema PTW, Real Sword and some of the VFC guns. These are perfectly 1:1 replica that will line up exactly like their real steel version. That is what I want to get in the WWII era, but I'm not even sure if they make any of those.
Tanaka makes some decent rifles. I never own one but I've heard they are one of the best gas rifle out there. I thought about getting their K98k or the arisaka rifle, but after watching this video comparison:
I have no desire to own one. The difference is so significant I can tell just by looking at them.
It would be great if anyone can list out the 1:1 airsoft replicas that are available. I am into all types of guns, so pistol, sub guns, rifles or automatic rifles, please put them here if you know they are made in correct dimensions. Cheers.
