PPSH … unboxing / quick review…

It does look the goods, and feel the part.
I like different / unique models as well, particularly ww2 era…
I wish the thommy, was as well finished, as this…

The most comfortable firing position, is to hold the drum mag, from underneath.

Due to the (currently) low fps, spread is quite good.
I just hope fps can be upgraded a decent amount.
The weak link is going to be the nozzle tip, pivoting into the barrel.

The solution might be (after the blowback is disabled) to put a very small amount, of a weak resin glue, around the diameter of the nozzle.
This would dry, and form a semi-permanant airseal.

It would mean you wouldn’t be opening it up on a regular basis, but you wouldn’t really need to anyway.

A small amount would mean you could break it open, clean it up, and re-seal it again.

Will speak to the techs about this…

Final photos.

2 x coats of wood oil, for the PPSH, and the Kar 98…

It makes, such a huge difference…it really brings out the textures, in the wood…
The kar98, was very dull, and muted, beforehand…

Now, close up time…the wood grain patterns are awesome…

It may be time, for these, russians, and the germans, to get to know each other better…

They, might have a luger, on the way, by the morning…!! :rofl: :rofl:

“Might” have a Luger?
I’m extremely interested to see Unfortunately they were a piece of crap back in the day and can’t imagine how they would be like as a Gelblaster if they replicate the original slide action :thinking:

Toggle action.

“Shhh…dont wake the baby…!!”

Its bedtime…!!

:rofl: :rofl:

N.b. … denix luger…
@docbob…obviously, just a joke…

A russian smg, and a german rifle… in … “ahem”, … intimate proximity…

What would the outcome, be…???

:rofl: :rofl:

I would like the Mauser c96 .



Wood stock, stainless 7.3 ID inner barrel and an original sling. X Force had already sorted the fps and chip on mine. Love it.

they go alright, hey…
Nice wood grain pattern, on yours…

If anything, they look a bit too clean…
It needs to look a bit more weathered, dropped and battered…

A bit ratty, and tattered, would look good…!

That’s exactly what I was imagining when seeing these full metal/wood blasters.

Having obviously handled many real guns over the years, I can almost feel the weight just looking at them!

Wouldn’t be quite as heavy as the real steel due to the barrels and internals, but still quite hefty for a blaster to lug around :thinking:

The full metal M4A1 I built was quite a brick to throw around, and that was tipping the scales at 7.2 kg with batteries/gels and accessories all in and ready to run.

Gave the PPSH, a quick touch up, with the silver ‘rub n buff’
pretty happy with the results…

The trick is, gloves on, a tiny dab onto the slot, and spread a tiny amount.
Then , use a second finger, to spread and smear…

A tiny dab goes a long way…

Problem is, now im looking at M16’s, M-60, PKM, Ak-47’s ,Sten etc etc…

It’s a rabbithole, BME :joy:

PPSH looks good. :+1:

a bit more weathering on the ppsh…it has lots of corners/holes to work into, and weathers well from there… i went a bit heavier and did the mag as well…


maybe a bit of overkill, but it looks legit worn now…

@docbobs dragged behind a tractor for a week, specs…

Just for comparison, here is @Davbot71 s photo of a brand newie…

I think the mp-40’s are next…

Then , M-16 and maybe M-60…

Like I said…

It’s a rabbithole :rofl:

Make sure it’s extremely historically accurate on the m60 or I might have to kill you. Your homework assignment is to analyse 5 or more pictures of well used m60’s in Vietnam

Impertinent gnat, you dare.!!??

You would threaten me…!!
As a bug, would threaten a giant…!!

Your punishment for such insolence, is to pick a fight, with the street gang, at your mall.

Lets see, if your inky blobs, are enough to dodge the blades of justice…!!
No panel beaten plates of armour.

If you are not rendered to sushi sized slices, you may grovel to behold the glory of the M-60, in its resplendant, weathered form.

Only then may you weep, with both joy and anguish, at the prize forbidden forever to the denizen citizens of that foul southern state…

And gaze longingly, at the soon to be released, MG-42…
