Tokyo Marui Mac 10

Has anyone had anyone experience with this? If so could you give me a little feedback on it? Thanks,

It's TM, so naturally the quality will be great, I think it uses AEP batteries, not sure. Or if you want to be very silly, you can always get a GBB one.

I have one and have skirmished it a few times. You need to get a hicap for it as 68rd mids (as well as being almost impossible to get locally) will not get ya very far.

They are a great AEG and the range is excellent. The silencer really works very well also. Happy to let you have a look n try of it, next time at hrta.

Uses the same battery and gearbox as the MP7 - the performance is pretty much the same.

In these "lipo-enraged30rps+ days" - some might scoff at the performance...:rolleyes: but I think they are great and nothing beats TM for reliability...

They are very expensive - many say overpriced, I agree some are totally overpriced and overvalued but TM produce some little gems like the P90, MP7 and I think the MAC10 is another.

When I started airsofting I would have never considered TM because of the price and relatively poor (on the face of it) FPS but yesterday at HRTA (using an old TM SR16) proved to me once again, that the range and performance are simply fantastic.

The MAC10 is light enough to use as a backup and "really light" as a primary - and although they're small - you will find you will certainly hold your own with one.
Although bore-up kits, harder springs etc are available - the only upgrade I'd bother with is a tightbore barrel.

Plus
look, lightness, reliability, working silencer, range, unique/unusual, performance


Negative
FPS and ROF might be too low for some, plastic (but real nice) body, low mAh rating on the batteries, cost and availability of gun and mags, upgradability, hard to find parts/spares (but you probably wont need them)

I love it, it's one of my few 9.5/10 guns

Wow! thank you very very much defenderdude! For me that does sound pretty good, I'm not interested in crazy ROF or FPS. I'm really interested in a small, light primary weapon that allows me to move with ease, and so far this seems like a good one. Some say that the silencer feels very cheap, do you think that?
I have just one more question, do you know anywhere to get one? Where did you get your one?

yea, i don't think I'll be going GBB :P I really think that electric (even with the lower power etc) is good for consistency etc.

I had the TM VZ-61 which is just a re bodied M10/MP7,,,Defenderdude is on the money as these things are a joy to use and can stand toe to toe with any AEG(my opinion),,,,the rate of fire is a bit on the slow side but the RS Mack10 used the .45ACP and had a relatively slow rate fire when compared to 9mm sub's.

Its the TM hop units that make these things so good,,and in my opinion they are worth the high asking price.

I dunno - I think it feels fine. Maybe if it was metal it might feel more expensive but it would weigh a tonne. I think some of the criticisms regarding the silencer were directed at the fact that you can see a mould seam line along the length of it. Would be nicer if it wasnt there but I can live with it.

I will try get a pic or two later to show it but there's probably some already on the net.

I got mine in a trade and I havent a clue where you might get one. They're hard to get anywhere - even abroad. Firesupport havent stocked them for nearly a year although they have plenty of mags in stock.

I reckon you should stick a [WANTED] ad here and be prepared to wait till one pops up.
(There's certainly a few out there...)

Thanks everyone for all the info! i'm pretty much decided that this is what I'm looking for, I'll wait awhile and i might stick up a WANTED then thanks
