Hey folks! It's about time I started to give some update from the Nov. Issue of Arms magazine.
This issue has featured the latest TM AK74MN model in its black body glory.
Externally we've seen the AK74 to be a modernized AK with the 104 style collapsible stock, new grip, trigger, rib, body, barrel, flashhider, scope mount base,and foregrip. And so many skeptics beleived this was just a regular AEG.
Now this is where it's added with a twist!
TM's latest focus have now shifted to AEG auto-blowback system. Not only this, but some parts of the new AK74 MN is made in pressed steel (like the rib section). Given this is a new AEG, this is a new gearbox probably and this is also clarified with the new magazine design.
New spots includes Type 89 know how areas like the Dial- type hop up system instead of the classic lever hop up on the AKs. The magazine is also designed to have the follower like the Type 89. Metal parts are used heavily on the gun like the Type 89. And finally flash hider is removable like the Type 89.
It is described the new AK74MN's blowback feature is that of comparable to a gas blowback system as it has a high-response and trigger ping time.
Lately Japan's law on guns have become strict and seized the motive of custom guns for high power. Before model guns provided realistic shooting experiance with blowback with shell ejection, then BV system guns, then the rise of AEGs and gas blowbacks. AEGs clearly became a status in airsoft or a benchmark for players to create high powered guns.
Now with the laws on the airsoft guns have become strict, there is little point in upgrading guns in certain countries. So Tokyo Marui has added a new mark in airsoft. This is the realistic blowback and recoil system. If you cannot make a gun shoot hard, then you'll make the gun that shoots with a hard kick.
Tokyo Marui has now introduced the TM AK74MN as it's latest choice in the "Shoot and recoilshock" system. This means everytime you pull the trigger, the gun will shoot a BB, followed by a heavy blowback kick and recoil shock. This in turns makes the user hold the gun like a real gun instead of a recoil less AEG.
On Oct 13 and 14, this will be shown at the Radio Control Hobby Show in Japan. More detail will follow.

In short
ALL TOKYO MARUI AEGS WILL HAVE BLOW BACK BABY!
