I believe Barrie and Anne own one.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
We did indeed get one from Shoot n Scoot, after having a go on one at the Bovington Tank museum (it was an arcade shooting game machine type thing ).
Tried it out for the first time at the Arnhem game and, quite literally, had a blast.
It's big, heavy and looks bang on but bear in mind I'm no expert. Bipod, stock, carry handle and pistol grip were all originals, the rest I think is aluminium painted matt black. The rear (MK1) sights are adjustable up and down. It's fully auto only.
Inside it's based on a standard TM P90 gearbox and hop-up and, rightly or wrongly, I got Warren to upgrade ours to approx 1J. It was certainly shooting nice and straight.
The older ones had a 3000bb wind-up magazine but Warren did ours with 150bb AK midcaps hidden inside the bren mag shells so it was a bit more realistic. I'm Mr AntiDrumMag but if you ask he will probably do you either version.
Next time, to use it properly for support/suppression shooting, I need a volunteer (Anne) to change out the mags and fill them up whilst I'm shooting. Like a proper bren gun team, sort of.
Only problem I had was the mag catch got loose by the end of the day (ours was the first experimental midcap type) but Warren is sorting that out as we speak.
Once I get it back from Warren I will do a proper, more informative review with some pictures and everything.
thanks for the advice everyone. Will keep you updated as to when/if I get one
