The AK-47 was manufactured by Avtomat Kalashnikova and was adopted by Russia in 1947. This is where the acronym AK-47 is derived from. The AK-47 has a history of being used by Russians in the past, and at present, is the gun of choice for terrorists and insurgents.

The AK-47 is one of the most hard-wearing and built AEG’s from the world renowned company Tokyo Marui. The metal use on this airsoft is the best of any guns that they have. Next month the Tokyo Marui Type 89 will be releasde, which will beat the AK47 in its metal content. The AK-47 has such a history that it makes your foes run scared.

The AK-47 has many metal parts:
-receiver cover
-metal bolt near the hop up
-trigger and trigger guard
-barrel assembly
-magazine
-sights
-selector switch
-and more.

By the addition of metal to the Tokyo Marui AK-47 the gun now feels realistic and built. The plastic on the airsoft gun is not a cheap looking plastic. By using the plastic they have made the AK-47 look like it is actually real wood.

The Tokyo Marui M733 Commando Automatic Electric Gun was created due to the enormous movie success of Black Hawk Down in Japan. The M733 is one of the carbine variations of the M16. This was the weapon that Delta forces used in Black Hawk Down.

The most distinct change in the Tokyo Marui M733 Commando is the shortened barrel, newly devised barrel assembly that feels solid and the telescope stock that has been redesigned. This means that it stays together without shaking. Tokyo Marui has also redesigned the Marui M733 Commando so that the hand guards aim is more realistic. They have made space for the battery to fit snuggly underneath the barrel. The barrel attachment unit is not made of plastic anymore but of metal!

Tokyo Marui is gearing up to release its latest AEG. The company showed its prototype off at the yearly Japan Hobbyshow. The Type 89 5.56mm rifle is used by the Japanese Ground Self Defence Force. This new airsoft includes the version 8 gearbox and will actually have a working burst function – it will be able to fire 3 shot bursts!! It weights a hefty 3.7kg and excitingly this gun, a first for a Tokyo Marui, will feature a metal receiver!

Most airsoft users in the States will have not of heard of the Type 89, but predictions are that it will be a huge hit. The unbelievable news about this Tokyo Marui airsoft is that the Type 89 will be made of metal! How exciting is that! The upper/lower receiver, barrel, bi pod, and everything like the real life gun is made out of metal! The trademarks and other markings on the weapon are identically the same as the real gun which makes the Tokyo Marui Type 89 an awesome replica.

Now let’s get down to the mechanics. The Tokyo Marui will include the following fire settings; Safe, Semi, 3 Round Burst and Full. To support this new exciting 3 round burst feature Tokyo Marui has implemented the use of the EG1000BT motor.

At the time of writing Tokyo Marui has not released a date for it’s Type 89 but on the grapevine it is said to be around July, which is really close! The Type 89 will have a recommended retail price of $448; making it the most expensive Tokyo Marui gun to date. However the Type 89 is sure to please.
