| WE have brought out 3 models of P38, a black a silver and a blued model, the blued looks good. All metal GBB, Redwolf have them for $158 not seen any over here yet. This one is a must for me i love the P38 i have the maruzen but full metal blued! got to have it. Looks like they are going to do a M712 as well nothing about it being full auto but lets hope. | |

| I'll have to take a look at one of these. WE do generally produce some reasonable finishes compared to say KWC for example - though my WE M4 has some quite nasty flaking on the end of the barrel. Must admit I've yet to own any Airsoft pistols.
A blued version would suggest steel manufacture though would it not, as the last time I attempted to blu a zinc alloy pistol it ended in complete disaster.... | |

| Not sure how they have doing the Blue but the pics look good although i would not say its not a true gun blue somthing similar to Tanaka's midnight blue. i have asked landwarriorairsoft about getting them in when i hear anything i will update the post. WE also come out with CO2 mags for a few of the models so they may do it for this as well. | |

| I nearly bought a C02 mag for my M4, but given that WE don't use the 'best' zinc alloys (certainly not Zamak or anywhere near), then I'm ambivalent about how long the internals would last on C02 and I do dry fire my GBB'S fairly regularly. I guess upgrading everything to Ra-tech would be the way forward, but perhaps a little ott for home use!?!
As I live on a boat though, the relative humidity can be quite high, so Green Gas mags take a fair bit of warming up to get going, even in warmer weather. | |
