Aj já hlava děravá. Tak dole aspoň zkopírovanej text, obrázky mi to bohužel nevezme.
Hi guys.
I've waited for this rifle to be released for what felt like forever. Purchased from Impulse101 in Japan, this is among the first batch and I ordered 3 additional magazines which I was told will be sent in the next couple of weeks. I didn't mind that, just as long as I had TM's latest offering. I just picked it up this afternoon and I thought I'd share a few pics along with a brief first impression. Also comparison to the GHK M4.
The usual snazzy (compared to a boring brown cardboard GHK and the like boxes) Marui gun box contains the well presented rifle.
Closer inspection of the finish revealing a dull matte grey finish, texture feeling rugged. Not so much rough. Just feels like a decent rugged finish, this being my first hands on with a Cerakoted product.
Build quality:
It's a solid feeling rifle, zero play between the upper and lower receiver. The delta ring isn't as difficult to pull back as the stiffer GHK and allows the easy removal of the rail without wishing one had three hands. The receiver is also able to be broken down without the need of tools right out of the box, the captive pins are super easy to remove.
Contrast in colour between the outer barrel and front iron sight is instantly noticeable. The grey finish, similar to that on the receiver is present on the triangular front sight and with it being over the outer barrel, it's one of the first things one may note when first picking up the rifle. Although the lovely 5.56 Nato markings almost make up for it.
By the way it is a one piece outer barrel so it lacks the detachable extension found some of the recoils etc.. Shame.
The Colt style buttstock feels very cheap. Flimsy, rattling and cheap. Also buffer tube diameter is commercial spec, GHK buttstock being milspec....spec? Is tough to attach.
The Knights style RIS system while old hat nowadays, appears to be the same as the one present on the SOPMOD Recoil, although don't quote me on that as its been a while since I've had one to compare. The rail number markings are fine and well represented. It doesn't wobble or flex side to side when gripped and jarred.
Also the top rail aligns well between the upper. I wish I could say the same for the GHK M4, which by the way on mine is a little off.
The Knights style folding rear adjustable iron sight is also a brilliant little device. Adjustable both in windage and elevation in very lovely audible clicks. Tokyo Marui Made In Japan written on the front face towards enemy.
The dust cover is somewhat ghastly with its visible screw holding the pin and spring in place. However it serves it's purpose and is perhaps something potential buyers could replace if they so desire.
Weight:
Loaded with its 35rd magazine, the MWS weighs 3025g
With the GHK M4 with its magazine at 3105g. Only thing is I have the 10.5" GHK so not exactly doing it right here. Ha. But goes to show the MWS is a light and flickable carbine. Thumbs up from me!
Magazine:
The MWS magazine is finished with the same coating as the MWS and weighs a mere 465g.
Also as you may be able to tell the fill valve is not at a direct 90 degree angle as it faces out of the bottom of the magazine.
Also worth noting GHK AR Magazines and their weight:
Bolt Carrier
It's surprising the weight being almost the same however the shooting impulses are different between them. More on that later.
ZET System and lower internals
While we are all yet to determine the systems longevity (especially on green gas), we can still marvel at TM's strive for upmost performance over realism.
Shooting
Now this is an area where I haven't had much experience, I collected this rifle late this afternoon therefore I was unable to get outdoors to stretch its legs as the light was failing me. However indoors on green gas the rifle is a hoot to shoot, so snappy and smooth. No doubt the bearings on the hammer and on the carrier aid in it being so slick.
I can compare it to shooting the Marui MP7. Just bigger. It is as much fun shooting this on green gas as it is shooting the GHK is on C02. No sluggishness, just instant dynamite. Rock and roll on tap.
Chrono with .20's on green gas indoors in the 330's.
Can't wait to send some bbs down range and start adjusting the hop.
More on this soon. Thanks for looking guys.

ale líbí se mi to je vidět že to kope,kadence je super a chlapec co to předvádí je plnej sebevědomí.Inu marui, je to pojem a gigant.Ale fakticky to vidím na těch jejich 0,89 Joule.,nebo jak to maj.Určo vychytaj i součástkama,když použiješ green nebo silnější plyn,něco třeba rupne.Případně ten delayer. Japonce bych právě na tohle odhad.Stačí malá součástka a nic s tím neuděláš.Ale moc pěkný to je.A hlavně marui že jo.Spolehlivost především. Tak mohli by udělat serie pro evropskej,us trh a hlavně pro tchavanskej s výkonem nad 1joul.Ty by byla pecka.
