Airsoft Cyber Thompson Machine Gun

The way I see it the WWII airsoft players should be shaking in their trench coats right now.
Just buttoned up the internals of one of the new Cyber Thompson airsoft AEG's and have to commend the makers of this airsoft machine gun for a job well done. Who makes it? Well, some people say Cyma is the manufacturer but I found no clear markings except the nicely done trademarks from Thompson/Center. What I do know for certain is that it is compatible with standard version 6 gear box parts that are available at most airsoft gun parts stores in the USA.
The stock build is a full metal body with a full metal magazine and an imitation plastic wood stock that can easily be replaced with the wooden set found at several retailers online. The stock gearbox is a metal V6 with plastic bushings and spring guide that were easily changed out with a standard V6 metal bushing set and a version 2 metal spring guide with thrust bearing for a little push up in FPS. The stock on the Cyber Thompson does feature a large foam filled compartment that easily accommodated my 9.6 1100 Mah battery upgrade once the foam was removed.
My end result was a Thompson airsoft sub machine gun shooting .20 gram bb's at a nice 350-360 FPS with an increased ROF of around 1000-1050 RPM....Perfect! On the range my slightly upgraded Cyber Thompson performed superbly at 50, 75 and 100 feet keeping tight 4' and under patterns. At around 125 feet the groupings had increased to 8" or more but good enough for airsoft trench warfare and not bad for 25.00 dollars worth of upgrade parts. The hop unit is quite responsive to minor adjustments and again another standard part, so buckings will be easy to find when replacement is needed. All in all this gun will surely be showing up en masse to airsoft games around the US.
By the way if you are a die hard Thompson fan rumor has it that a Cybergun Thompson (Chicago typewriter style) with drum magazine is due for release in mid 2009. I can just picture the airsoft games now with everyone in trench coats and fedora's and all you hear is "Eat .20 grams of plastic you dirty coppers, you will never take us alive". Now we just need some solid airsoft gas 38's and someone to write us a good 1930's style Eliot Ness airsoft game scenario so I can share some welts with my upgraded Cybergun Thompson M1911 machine gun.
