Actually, you're half right. Maxims were made by Vickers. The one in the picture is the export variant for the Russian market, called the 1910. The Vickers that flashes into most peoples minds when the name is mentioned is the .50cal version, this one is 7.62mm. The give-away is the lid on the water cooling jacket, something that's not so common on British and European versions which had a tube-fed water system on the jacket.
Everything on the list I mentioned of bits that I wanted was Russian. Though I incorrectly said the mortar was 81mm, it's actually 82mm. Pure habit saying 81mm these days.

I got to have a gander at a de-act PPSh at last years Salute and it was even better than I expected. Very seriously want one. I'm surprised noone has made an airsoft one given it was in such heavy use by the Russians, and even the Germans ditched their MP40's in favour of it if they found one or nicked one from a dead ruskie.
Then again, we've been waiting this long for the Stg44 and it's only just been released in the last month and an FG42 isn't even in the pipeline yet.

this is the Russian Pulemyot Maxima a russian copy of the maxium the lid on the cooling jacket is so snow could be put in! the vickers is a copy of hiram maxiums design, albert vickers part funded the maxium company and later vickers steelworks took over maxium and then made the vickers machinegun but the maxium was around first!

Wikipedia ftw eh? Vickers owned the Maxim company before the 1910. The design was still known as the Maxim, just as the HK416 is regarded as an "Armalite style" rifle. Different manufacturer, same product.
Also, it's Maxim, not Maxium.

Yeah but, you see, the problem with that is that it's actually made from a real PPSh. It's an Ashai classic and it's bloody hard to find. It also costs a fortune. If I was willing to spend Ashai money on something, it'd most likely be an FG42.
What I mean is that it's a shame noone's doing an affordable one. Marushin's M1 Garand is about as much as I'd be willing to spend on WW2 kit, and I'd struggle to justify the €600 for that. I can't see why an AEG version couldn't be made for around the €200-250 mark.

Flecktarn · 08-06-2009 09:08PM

Orite I see, quiet a lot of $$$ indeed. Theres a FG42 on WGC but it doesnt shoot............

thermo · 09-06-2009 12:09AM

Everybody shut up, drop everything you're doing, and go see Drag Me To Hell.

It's awesome.

NakedDex · 09-06-2009 12:32AM

Going on Saturday with a friend. Wasn't too keen on the idea of another mid-summer horror flick until I heard who directed it. Raimi ftw.

Masada · 09-06-2009 12:34AM

Sounds good, if it at least prevents people from wasting their money on that farce of a terminator, it can only be a good thing.

stick a fork in that richie ITS DONE

jill_valentine · 09-06-2009 12:46AM

It's an absolute blast. Anvil was great, and I still insist you all go and see that, but Drag Me To Hell was the most fun I've seen in years.

Gory, scary and funny in all the right measures. Absolutely cracking.

Basically, when you got home you couldn't get off on Christian Bail despite trying, where as the surly pneumatic blonde with the built-in dremel was a good bit easier, right? And so, you're disappointed. It's understandable.
