I was wondering if anyone had one of these and/or if anyone had a video of it being shot. I was just wondering what exactly made it so great to justify spending $199.00 on it. Not trying to knock the price or anything, I just wanted to know what makes this different than any other gas powered air soft gun (besides the fact that it's an HP replica)
Well, for starters, it's not really Indy's HP. The Tanaka is a true FN-35 replica; Indy's HP was (anachronistically) an Inglis circa 1944, i.e. the HP made in Canada during WWII. It has a different rear sight than the FN, and has black grips.
Now, Marushin made a cap-gun replica of the Inglis about 3 years ago, but they are next to impossible to find; one sold last year on an auction site for $250. That said, I know where to get the Marushin version of the FN-35. It still has the incorrect rear sight, but it has the correct black grips. I can get them much cheaper than Todd's offering, but would need to put together a run of, say, 10 guns.
All that said, if you want an airsoft that actually shoots a projectile, Todd's HP is a terrific, high-quality replica.
