A rare one these days, Mach Sakai shows us the Tanaka Arisaka Type 97 Sniper Rifle. This is a bolt action airsoft sniper rifle and a rather lengthy rifle at that. Based on the Type 38 rifle, this comes fitted with a scope with 2.5 magnification and uses real wood kit. It also comes with a simple bipod for a stable shooting platform.
For those who love collecting shell ejecting cap guns, Hyperdouraku does a review of the Tanaka Works Desert Eagle.50AE Cap Gun. Using 5mm caps in the cartridges, this can also be used as gun prop where in can mimic shell ejection, blowback action, and gun smoke rather than using blanks in real firearms, making it safe to use. This is not an airsoft gun.
We get to see the Tanaka Works S&W M327 M&P R8 revolver again as a cap gun. Available for years now, this uses heavyweight ABS to give a hefty feel, almost nearing 900g. This revolver has been designed for use by SWAT members that can give a punch moe than a .45ACP. Of course, the airsoft version uses the 6mm BB and has a maximum of 6 BB rounds per load. Hyperdouraku does a video review of this well-made airsoft revolver.
Hyperdouraku visits Tanaka Works to check out their new products... "First of all, the SAA gas gun currently under development. Since it is still a prototype, the materials and finish may change in the product version. The die-cast parts are also a prototype that has not been colored yet. The basic structure is a Pegasus revolver that loads bullets and gas into the cylinder...
It's always good to practice with some of the most realistic operating airsoft guns if you don't have access to a real steel firing range. In this video Mach Sakai reviews one, the Tanaka Works Bolt Action Gas Rifle M24 SWS Ver.2 Catridge Type. This means that apart from the Bolt Action Operation, one gets to practice installing and ejecting shells.
Mach Sakai takes another look at thethe JGSDF P220 IC HW Gas Blowback Pistol made by Tanaka Works which he previously reviewed the HW version before in 2015. IC means "Integrated Chassis" and this has a high gloss finish. The magazine release is found at the base of pistol grip.
Target-1 does a full review of the Tanaka Luger P08 4inch HW “1918 Erfurt” GBB. Available also in an 8-inch version, this is based on the Erfurt design made from 1911 until the conclusion of World War I. The grip has been changed from black bakelite type to wood grain, and the toggle has a crown mark indicating that it is made by Erfurt.
Mach Sakai takes a look at the Tanaka Luger P08 4inch HW “1918 Erfurt” GBB. According to Tanaka Works, the "Elfurt" engraved version will be on the Ruger P08, which has been a long-selling product since its release, reproducing its original toggle action with Magna blowback. Erfurt is a Prussian government-owned weapons factory that produced P08 from 1911 to the end of World War I, and the P08 produced is characterized by its coarse gray color.
Another review by Gentaro Toi for Hyperdouraku, checking out the 7 1/2 inch Tanaka Colt SAA45 U.S. Cavalry (2nd) that comes with a steel finish... "About 20 years have passed since the first release of the Pegasus series, a caseless gas revolver developed by Tanaka. Colt SAA45 7-1/2inch Detachable Cylinder Steel Finish was released this spring.
If you are putting a JGSDF loadout, you can now have a complete one with the gear that is available at Laylax and the Type 89 GBB or AEG from Tokyo Marui. Now you will need a sidearm and you can get the Tanaka Works 9mm JGSDF GBB Pistol. It is a the SIG P220 Pistol and called the SCK/Minebea 9mm Pistol that is manufactured under license by Minebea. Hyperdouraku takes a look at this pistol to see if Tanaka Works have been faithful to the real world pistol.
