Subject: PFC or dummy? Wed Jan 20, 2010 10:19 am
I have been looking [staring] at the Shoei MP-44 again... want one badly
I seem to remember someone, womewhere mentioned that the dummy version is better finished/assembled then the pfc version, is this true?
The last version was dummy only and had better/more correct stamps?
If there's any modelgun i should buy in 2010, i think it should be an MP-44...
Any input most welcome

Shoei made three versions: dummy, airsoft, and cap-firing.
Cap-firing was only released in the first production batch (as far as I know), then due to issues with blowback idea was abandoned (just like cap-firing FG42).
Next batches (including current) consist of dummy and airsoft versions.
I think that MP44 is sold out from Shoei, but their German salespoint still has some left (dummy version). Write them an email, they've been very helpful and solid for me: http://www.shoei-germany.de/40977.html

Get one quick 2Sharp...you won't regret it...and if not, get a live firing one by German's Dittrich company (they're co-incidentally going the same direction with Shoei focusing on WWII weapons)...
