| When you reckon HW isn't enough for modelguns - here comes the GW (strange nobody here mentioned about these before):    Claiming to be twice the weight of HW (the material - not the gun) - these shall be similar or maybe more fragile than earlier MGC's SRHW series...more models to come... Humble opinion - by making the guns heavier this way doesn't mean the guns will become more realistic: can only say it's more special/different in their own right... | |

| I hadn't heard of this "Giga Weight" material before. There have been "Super HW" models available but this material should prove interesting. My only concern is durability if these models are capable of cap-firing. HW can be brittle and breaks rather too easily, if this Giga Weight has even more metal particles in the plastic compound how fragile will it be  For display only models however, it should make them feel much heavier and more realistic. It's good to see Marushin developing new materials too
