YUMMY

Hmm, I'm tempted to get one, on the strength of that!

It's also an incredibly versatile weapon, since it was used by a lot of countries starting in the Boer war and ending in the Chinese civil war. I read that Soviet bought some during the twenties - were these still in use during WW2? If so it would both be useful for Soviet and German impressions. I also read that Italy bought some during WW1. If these were still in use during WW2 it would be handy, if there was ever to be any scenarios involving Italy.

Cheap enough too.
Great for Partisan and resistance types because of it's long history.

i saw these the other day but one site had the tercel stated it was 8mm not 6mm (do they do both?) and it wasnt Gas blow back. I surpose copy and paste can be fail on some sites, as Marushin, Umarex etc have brought out 8mm and 6mm. Corba arisoft is the first place i have seen mags as well!

Rsov have them too. Cheaper as well, I guess it would come down to shipping costs and efficiency. Cobra would get my vote.

This one's been around at least a few months, it's a Bell:

I don't know anything beyond that.

oh bugger and ive been doing so well ,ive been looking at the non blowback one on rsov for £35 for ages ,its got to be one of my favorite all time guns.bell dont have a great reputation for pistols by the way.

I've got one of these now and they have a number of faults, think hard and listen before investing.
1. The magazine gas fill valves are a bit hit and miss, the better valves seem to spit back a little liquid gas when the mag is full,these don't. Sometimes they fill nicely and sometimes not. I've ordered new valves from another source to replace them.
2. Part of the blowback mechanism broke in no time at all. There is a screw that can be seen if you cock the hammer back, this came loose and allowed what is akin to a slide to come further back than normal which broke part of the mechanism. This was very hard to fix. If you get one you want to remove the screw and re-fit with lock tight.
3. The slightest wear on the blowback system allows the slide to move back to far allowing the re-coil piston seal to fold over jamming the gun and needing a strip down to fix. I re-fitted the seal reversed so that if it did exit the cylinder bore it would just slide back in, strangely it still seals well enough to work but I'm going to replace it with an "o" ring when I find one the correct size.

I'll post pictures of the issues when I get the time but in short its lovely when it works but not all that well made and unless you are prepared to work on it then probably best left alone.
Its definitely a 6mm "bb" by the way, got mine from RSOV.

just a little follow up on this after some repaires and more substantial use.
1.the magazine valves.
ive now replaced the valves useing a combination of the old valve houseing and ksc inner valve parts ,fiddly and hard to explain but its transformed the magazines ,they now empty 2 mags worth of bb's around 40 on one charge.
2.broken slide
rsov sent a whole top half of the gun as a replacement whitch i cant fault as customer service,now in order to reduce friction ive siliconed it all ,espetially the magazine rubber seal as this makes recoil verry tight .and ive removed the paint from the nozzle where it seals into the hop chamber as this was verry tight and the reduction in diameter from removeing the paint on the nozzle made a vast difference in the friction there as well.

the result of all this is a reliable gun and ive just cronoe'd it and it certainly lives up to the nickname of box cannon as it comes in at 330fps and recoil like a jack hammer(not good for accuracy but verry satisfying).

ooh, nice find
