That is a great video! Very very good! I am really impressed, not only by the gun, but by your performance.

What's the music playing, Manowar?

Thanks lads, I really appreciate your comments. This one's been a long time in the making.
I am chuffed at the way this one turned out too.

The STEN does perform very well indeed and seems to be improving each time it's fired. Maybe it's "running in" but whatever it's doing it fires a treat.
The recoil you can see is really the gun moving about too, it isn't "enhanced" by Carol moving it about. The bolt is pretty heavy and kicks back nice and hard.

Yes, 'Mike, Manowar... Warriors of the World... my thanks to romagnus for helping me identify and find it Wink

Oooooooo, now then, Dancers eh? Well Claymore says he might be coming up here soon... wonder if he's light on his feet? Very Happy

very very nice vid well done mate and well done to carol your vids get better all the time, your sten seems to fire at a faster rate than mine so maybe mine still a little wearing in also how many rounds do you get in your mags? the springs have been cut down on mine but getting 20 in is still very hard going.
Ok me dance Shocked

no no no and NO!!
i could bring my steel sten up cerwyn and we could compare them for rate of fire.

Hey Cerwyn. I like the music! Good job, glad she shoots well for you. I was showing my Dad my mp40 and he liked it even though it wouldn't shoot right for him. I took it apart and had a hell of a time getting it back together for some reason.

you know, I'm not sure. I took it apart last night again. cleaned and replaced det. pin and she went right back together with no problem. so who knows. I saw your write up about using an ultrasonic cleaner for the shells, I need to get one, I have a shell that wont come apart!

Well done on that great video Cerwyn. It did make me laugh at the end with the safety on bit. Laughing

I dread to think just how long now before you start adding muzzle flash digitally and enhancing the sound! Well done also to Carol for a very fine performance, I was particularly impressed at just how adept she has become at handling a firearm, clearing jams etc without any problems. Jolly good show.

Thanks Spence' Very Happy

I'm glad you all enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it!
If I ever achieve muzzle flash it'll be real flash with Magnesium hopefully though, I don't really want to do anything artificial because you would get a false impression of how the modelgun looks and sounds Very Happy

I wouldn't know where to start with CGI anyway!
Mind you, it could be something to do on a dark winters' night, dubbing real sound over these might be a bit of fun.
Rizzo dubbed sound over his pistol vids awhile ago now and they did sound really good.

Carol's getting adept at this game now, although she says she'd prefer to bake cakes really... (I think that she loves firing these really, she just won't admit it Wink

)

good job mate, this is absolutely terrific!

I wish I can have MGCUK Sten as well, but cannot because it is made out of iron/steel right?

Shaz,

cerwyn · Posted: Mon Mar 24, 2008 5:14 pm Post subject:

Thank you very much shazhib for your praise, it is very much appreciated.

Yes, this STEN is of steel construction. I knew that it was not allowed to manufacture Steel modelguns in Japan now but had not considered that importing them was illegal also.

Metal model guns do have that certain sound that plastic can never achieve, steel probably sounds even better Wink

Very well done there mate. Very nice vid indeed. It's also wonderful to see a modelgun churn through so many rounds without stoppages!

cerwyn · Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2008 11:58 am Post subject:

Thanks GZ

I must say that of the array of models I have now, two stand out as the best consistent firing ones

MGCUKs steel STEN

Marushin's abs MP40

Stoppages are rare, very rare, and if they do happen it'll be a duff cap or one that hasn't been loaded correctly

We fired 70 rds through the STEN during filming and I think we only suffered from 3 misfires. Not bad going really Very Happy

The gun is so nicely made and now I've learned how to look after it properly, plenty of oil and use is running it in a treat. No tweaking needed, no modifications, just consistent firing straight out of the box Wink

The Marushin MP40 will happily fire 32 round magazines without a hitch. I think the det pin gets a bit clogged by the time the third mag has been inserted. Extraction problems start then but it's such an easy gun to whip the barrel off and shove a clean chamber and pin into it.
I ought to buy myself another 90 or so rounds for it and see if it'll go through 6 magazines in quick succession without a major stoppage Laughing

I bought the MP, my first modelgun, as a second hand and "modified" gun from modelguns.uk. I can't put my finger on what the "modifications" are but it does, and always has fired beautifully.

The Marushin UZI has 8ace's steel bolt in it and it's been transformed into a cracking performer. I'm looking forwards to playing with that regularly now as I'm sure it too will get even better as it runs in.

A lot of effort was put in by Kickback and 8ace to sort out my PPSh41.
I've not had time to fire it much apart from that first magfull but I'm hopfull it'll fire as well as Claymore's Very Happy

If only ALL my toys worked as well Confused

Nice one cerwyn (and Carol)... Very Happy

. Although not too interested in the Sten but now this offering changed my mind...

Now I can't wait to see the MP38 by MGCUK in action!

Love it! Hope I can get mine to run as well. (I've already mastered the "forgotten safety" part - actually with many guns Embarassed

)
Thanks for another great job
