Wow, this is cool, and as an owner of a Hartford Capfire gun, this is still very enticing, and a bad time to be broke. Takagi and Elfin Knights have impressed me again.

What's daft is I have a firearms license with a few rifles and a pair of black power revolvers but I can't import a non-firing replica. |

These are a lot like the old cap fired blow back models of the 80s.
I had a number of them and after a few rounds of firing found it was so much trouble cleaning and reloading the automatic model rounds that it was no fun, it took only a few seconds of firing with a hour of cleaning and reloading.
The thread were so fine that even a little bit of dirt messed them up.
I lost a few rounds due to the thread jamming. At lease then you could buy more rounds.
After a few times with these and I started selling them off, it just was too much trouble playing with them.
I then bought real guns which I do not need to take apart, clean and reload.
Shame they could not have made then as a simple cartridge with cap loading in the back like a primer and just used solid brass round with holes for the sound and smoke than these complex things.
With the Blade Runner Blaster, I can have a lot more fun with one of my models with a real Bulldog in it and fire either blanks or even real rounds at a target on a shooting range.

2 questions. How much of this gun is actually metal? (there was a link to a picture describing it, but the link is dead) and how accurate is this one compared to the Tomensuke version? Sure looks really great! |

Rich is right. I to had one of those cap firing blow backs years ago. Not worth all the hassle and frustration involved. I wonder how the plastic parts will hold up after prolonged use as well as the finish. You really want a shooter that lasts,your better off building a real one. Bulldogs are pretty cheap. |

I would say it is a very good buy.
Very accurate and they were doing Blaster models before the pro.
Perhaps even before me.
But that would have be before 1985...

Here's a few clear pictures of the Takagi, plus what looks like some preproduction stuff.

Received mine yesterday. I thisnk this is the most accurate blaster ever produced to this moment. I would have preferred a metal casted receiver and barrel, and the cylinder cover painted in gloss black. But accuracy, detail and dimension like this is the most accurate one. And I have had 3 Tomes.
I wouldn't hesitate if I had the money. |

Hi Spinner,
I am new to the Tomenosuke blasters; how many versions are there with the new one, 4? The Pro, the Pro Police, the Worldcon and the Pro Retail? |

My Takagi just cleared customs... Although that silver custom version haunts me. I may have to give you some business Mr. Coyle.... |
