OK, before I start, this gun is from wwiiguns.com so I don't no if they did something to it or not but this gun SUCKS!!!!!!! First, its not WWII friendly because of the banana mag. Second, to wards the end of the mag the thing starts jamming, and you hair this sssssssssssssssssss and its the gas leaving the barrel before you shoot. Its a blast to shoot thou. It has little kick but its so cool to see the bolt go back and forth. The first 2 rounds go almost striate but after that its almost zig zagging, but mostly to the left. Around the 4th shot the BBs start falling ruffly about 10 to 20 feet from the end of the barrel, and I tried shooting it striate up in the air and on a full tank of gas and it only went about 3 feet in the air!!!! This reeeelly pissed me of because we spent 560$ on this piece of crap Its NOT worth the money I give this gun a 3 of 10 for look I give this gun a 1 of 10 for accuracy -TJ

Why would you spend 560.00 on a 300.00 dollar rifle? I don't want to say it again, make sure to read the stickies on the thread. Do not purchase anything from WWII Guns. I disagree, they look fine to me, other than the magazine, which you cannot blame on the rifle itself.
Also, some m1's and m2's seem to function fine. WWII guns may have messed around with it, or just gave you a faulty product. I think I have only heard about two or three people complain about their m1's and the rest were good remarks towards it. They are new products, so maybe you should wait like with every other airsoft gun, and get the later batches.
I think you should have added to the already existing thread. This kind of shows your oppion on the matter. Maybe some professional photos, and better grammar would make this thread appear a lot more appealing. Just my two cents as some would say.

What other then the magazine gives this gun a 3/10?!??, I know there may be a few other little things (I havent seen one, I wouldn't know) but a 3 seems a little harsh for the poor ol' carbine.
$560 for that, ouch my friend, especially when its nowhere near that anywhere else, even with shipping.
Also, although 29thinfantrykid mentioned this already it cant hurt to mention it until its no longer an issue(especially if it's been disregarded before). SPELLING. "to wards" (towards), "hair" (I assume its hear), "thou" (though), "straite"(straight) "ruffly" (roughly?), "reeelly" (1/2 a point off, you're pronouncing it phonetically I hope). Using the spelling function, or typing it into microsoft word or a similar program take all the actual work out of it. Frankly, it gives other people a pretty bad impression if its mostly careless errors.

Yes, my lord. Ok, now this is getting way, way off topic. But I guess this thread should be locked anyways.

Elder,
You're one of those contributors on the site that I make an effort not to visit if I see a post with your nickname attached. Your comments are generally confusing or goofy and your grammar and spelling are just plain painful. We appreciate your attempt to provide your opinion about any weapon you acquire and you certainly have a right to share your thoughts. If you want your contribution to be read and considered credible you need to spend a little more time on the post.
Pictures (If possible) are always a plus as the one consistantly positive things I hear about the Marushin guns is they do generally look real good so I too am unclear how this weapon ended up a 3/10 for appearance? Also as mentioned, why in the world did you pay that much for that gun and why in the world would you go to WWii guns to get it?
Gunfreak and Elder both recently got this gun and both are severly unhappy with it. Guinness loves his. One out of three doesn't sound too encouraging. Who else has this gun and what do you think?

Alright TJ is my name OK. I spell checked the hole thing and it said it was fine. My gun was all scratched up and I can't put pics on my replies. They charged us 200$ extra than they said they would on my moms credit card but the gun was only 252$ + BBS+ 3 cans of gas+shipping and we bought it before I was a member here and could fined out about wwiiguns.com. And the "reeeelly" was an expression. I'll stop putting my name on things.

Look TJ, there are over 1000 members on this forum, refering to each other on a first name basis rarely works unless you know said person personally, especially if they do not specify that they would like to be called on a first name basis. In fact, I only know about 5-6 of these guys on a first name basis and I've been on the forums for a good deal of time. We don't all learn names as quickly as you'd probably like, thats just life.
The spell check function on here isn't fancy stuff, and it shouldn't need to be. Once again, microsoft word or any word processing program today should be able to pick up the large majority of typos. If this were a freehand essay you were writng and you were a poor speller, then the spelling subject would be very different, but it doesn't take a spelling bee champion to write better, I used to have somewhat severe dislexia and it's fairly minor now. Doesn't show much does it?
Secondly, phonetics are the pronounciation of words based on how they are spelled. I assumed "reeelly" was spelled based on phonetics, and based on your responce I assume that I'm right in considering it phonetically spelled out.
Lastly and most importantly, do NOT act so abbrasive to peoples suggestions, especially when they've done nothing but try to help you, and in a tone thats on a level of respect possibly greater than you deserve, and better than you are typically displaying to them. We aren't asking you to buckle to "yes sir, thank you sir", but if you were acting with the attitude some of your posts have to many of us personally in this manner, it certainly would not be tolerated very long, and possibly enforced in more ways than one. We aren't just picking names off a list and deciding who to "hate, pick on, whatever you'd like to call it", and if you look around there isn't much conflict. It's fine to make mistakes at first, as long as you learn from them and try your best to correct them in the near future. We aren't asking a whole lot out of you, and I am sure if you do your best, there will be a great deal of improvement and things will get easier for you. Don't jump ship, be a martyr, or quit. Be better then that, you are not going to gain anybody else's respect by using us or the forum as an excuse for your shortcomings, or as an excuse to be a glorious martyr. Chickenapplesauce isn't on your platter so don't put it on ours. Listen to all the things said above, by other members, and even in different threads but most importantly...Learn from them.

All of Colorado Airsoft weeps for posts like these........ He's 13, and he is at least making an attempt to contribute, I would ask on behalf of Chief IronSights Cody up there that we try to be the bigger Injuns and 'Cowboy Up' and cut him just a wee bit of slack- Yes...it's painful to read some of these, but mocking him won't make him want to improve- but mentorship will. ....Not that I'm gonna do it are you kidding?? ;D Also, I would seriously like to get away from the trend towards use of expletives around here- ya know who ya are, a word to the wise is sufficient. TJ- learn from these guys- they know their stuff and can help you along the road to being the best WWII Airsofter you can be. It also appears the the WWIIGuns curse resonates yet again- sure, he did get a gun...but for more than twice the price it is available elsewhere Miki Nakamura, your day is coming........ Slainte!

Thanks for the review elder....and anyone who gives you BS on this forum probably has no authority or respect in the real world and have to use the fact that they have 1,000 + posts on online forums as a reason to boss people around (Which is not directed toward anyone). Like I said, I thank you for the insight you provided. Have fun airsofting mate, it's a nice hobby provided you don't spend too much money.
