"Wow just wow. Even the box presentation lets you know your getting a really good rifle.
Pros:
The blow back power is 8/10 but is more than enough.
Magazines slide in perfectly
Cocking handle feels real
Weight is surprisingly comfortable
Sits wonderfully in the hands
Gun is beautiful
Ripped through .32 like nothing
Cons:
Bipod is a tad bit wobbly but whatever that’s not a deal breaker
Gun is awesome and feels great!
"Here we are in 2021, the iconic Type 89 rifle of the Japan Self Defense Force, currently being replaced by the new Type20. Some people call it the ‘weeb’ gun, and by no means they’re not wrong. It’s a gun to buy in order to stand out and express undeniable love for a gun of Japanese quality like that one nerd who buys his $1000 rare nendoroid anime figure. Starting from the packaging, like many Tokyo Marui boxes, they’re great. It’s cloth fabric makes a statement that it’s something special. Box title screams “89 式 小 銃” which pronounced - hachi kyuu shiki shoujuu. Expectedly, the gun is solid, and it shoots loud, very loud with green gas. The retractable bolt gives a little kick. The included bipod is very nice and the 35 rnd magazine is heavy, slightly heavier than most gas M4 mags I’ve hold. Unlike many guns, the select fire is different. On right side when you rotate it CCW, starting ア(Safe), then first is レ(Full Auto), 3(Burst) and finally タ(Semi). Overall, the gun is fantastic. It can be both a nice collector’s gun or a rare GBBR with the reliable ZET gas system as long as it’s properly maintained. I highly recommend getting this with the rail mount. Yes, it’s pricey, but if you have a high ceiling budget, it’s a gun definitely worth while to keep as there’s nothing like it out there.
Pros
Strong Aluminum Construction
Japanese select fire markings
Sturdy gas magazine (35, 30, 20 rnds spare available)
Accurate 100ft shots
Punchy gas action
Top mount rail, enough room for most optics (sold separate)
Metal bipod, easy to detach
Easy magazine release
No wobbles
Select fire switch has nice click and feel
Easy to detach upper receiver
It’s a Type 89
Cons
Tokyo Marui GBBR = Expensive
TM Spare Mags = Expensive
T89 Top Rail Piece = Kinda Expensive
If you want 134a Duster Gas = Expensive outside of Japan
No handguard rail system for accessories
"It’s a beautiful rifle ! Absolutely beautiful ! From the packaging to the rifle itself ! Looks great , fires excellent right out of the box . The only issue I have is after I purchased it trying to find 35rd gbb magazine for it is near impossible..... there are 20rd gbb magazine but let’s be real who really wants 20rd?! When I did find 35rd the shipping would of been more then the rifle itself . But all that being said it really is an excellent rifle it will be perfect for any collection.
