It worked great, uses gas up load though, but you can fire it with or without bb's, but to get the ping after 8 rounds, you have to have it with bb's, otherwise on your first shot it will ping as you will have an empty mag, unless you can find some 8mm smoke powder balls, then you will get smoke on every shot and then a ping on the 8th.

They were very fun though.

Thanks for the info. I could buy one now, but I am putting my money towards other stuff. I still need a wood kit for tokyo marui thompson m1a1. When I'm older I might look into it :wink:

Just a very small part of my Werhmarcht marksman collection. I realise i have a zf-39 carrying case but im saving for the zf-41 tin. Marksman differing from snipers did not carry much different equipment than the standard soldier, so its only a few bits. Oh and the stick is original! :wink:

RE: Japanese re-enactor unit??? I have twin barreled Japanese machine gun from the rear position on a single engine torpedo plane (???), I even have a photo of the actual airplane the gun was taken from with 2 pages of written comment. The comment is all about the gun and not one word about where or when it was taken. Whatta pain!!!!!!! The history is now lost....... I guess most of these guns are in the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Aberdeen Museum in Maryland has at least 3 of them, all missing the front sight as is mine. It is a windvane......... anyone know of one I can get??? PJH

Photo.....supposed to be Japanese Army Airforce Type 100...... PJHeck
