Well, here are a cruddy picture I took of my collection while everything was still in the house.

Top to bottom:

Booster tuned Kokusai Crimebuster (currently shipped back to Booster for a couple spring replacements)

Tanaka M24 PCS (Currently SPF)

BAR-10 upgraded incredibly (full laylax) Shooting 563 FPS with about 300' of range. Amazing rifle.

Kokusai Crimebuster which is currently disassembled (no engine in pics) for a project.

MGC G18 Ridiculous ROF on duster gas, horrible accuracy, rare as hell.

very nice mate... i want a tanaka!

 

[mroverkill]

Want you really want is that tuned Crimebuster... It's amazing.

 

[Wolfgeorge]

Stay away from Tanaka if you want your mentality!! Tanaka's will drive you crazy from the issues you'll run into!
I regret I didn't buy the last Crimebuster I run into...!

Great looking collection man

I actually really like the Tanaka system, I think that the main problem is the lack of upgrades for all the parts that really need them. If you can get someone to machine the parts for you, I think the system itself has great potential.

Please show a close up of that tornado barrel.

Tanaka's are made of cheap pot metal and it's only a matter of time before something breaks!
I've owned 2 so far and I have some experience.
If you search in the Gallery section you'll see a thread about Reezo's M40. Look and you'll see what happened to his Tanaka M40!!
These incredibly overrated guns I have a friend from Korea and he said that Tanaka's there have the worst name!! And he mentioned the fact that they break pretty easy!

I've owned this tanaka for about 2 years now, have taken it down enough times to know the whole system like the back of my hand. I think the system itself is a well thought-out system, but the construction methods and materials were not up to par. If one can rebuild the system with CNC'ed hardened steel parts one will have a very reliable gun.

 

[inthetallgrass]

Thank you. I love tornado barrels.

 

[mroverkill]

It looks even more amazing in person.

I really love that gun, even though it's not technically mine.

Take care of that second crimebuster, that sucker goes like you wouldn't believe...

Are the mags in your booster-tuned version airtight? Do they need to be?

 

[mroverkill]

I don't believe they are airtight, and they don't need to be. The M16A2 V-match version just uses a different magazine design and nozzle length.

The second Crimebuster is actually getting put into a V2 mechbox and given an ER-hop treatment.

 

[Cheese Man]

Alright, I thought they were the kokusai BV mags for a minute there...

You WILL need a mill for that. I cracked mine open, and the V2 gearbox is very very hollowed out. Besides, it might be cool to try a v3, or something. Maybe a v6 (?), then you can put it into a PSG-1!

Can I have the old body for the crimebuster after you transplant the engine? Just a bit of nostalgia...

 

[mroverkill]

I'll need to find someone to make a new air nozzle, I'm actually not sure how much I'll need to take off for the AEG conversion, I measured the engine body as being significantly smaller in diameter than an AEG cylinder. I do have a source for a plastic V2 to fiddle with until I figure out how to do it.

I would say yes for the body, but I want it for the same reason lol
