Tokyo Marui (東京マルイ) is a Japanese Airsoft gun manufacturer. Although its main market is that of Japan, its guns are sold world-wide through a number of third party retailers. The company was also at the forefront of the developing Radio Control hobby in the mid-1980's with a line of electric buggies, monster trucks and even a NASCAR stock car, all in kit form less radio equipment, batteries and charger as is still the custom with most kits today. The "Big Bear," a 1/12-scale monster truck topped with a Datsun pickup truck body and initially sold via mail order, was one of the best-selling radio controlled models of the period and contributed greatly to the hobby's growth. Strong competition by the end of the decade, especially from Tamiya , caused Marui to pull out of the hobby-grade R/C market. They returned to the R/C market in 2000 with a still-popular line of ready-to-run, 1/24-scale military tanks. Tokyo Marui manufactures several different lines of airsoft guns: AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC GUNS (AEG) Tokyo Marui's Airsoft AEG's are characterised by:
Tokyo Marui AEG's are available in the following replications:
SPRING RIFLES Tokyo Marui manufactures a range of Spring Operated Rifles and Submachine Guns:
PISTOLS Tokyo Marui manufactures a range of Gas Blow Back (GBB) Pistols
More extensive is their line of spring pistols. All come in both hop-up and non-hop-up flavours.
SHOTGUNS Tokyo Marui makes a line of shotguns that shoot 3 BBs at a time. The shotgun uses shells, which have a capacity of 30 BBs, so you can shoot 10 shots of 3 BBs. The Shotguns are spring powered, so you do not need a battery or gas.
M203 LAUNCHERS Unlike M203 launchers made by other companies, Tokyo Marui makes their M203 function like their shotguns (3 BBs at a time). The shells for the shotguns are used in the M203, so they are interchangeable. The M203 launcher can be mounted onto the M16VN, M16A1, M16A2, M4A1, or M4A1 RIS.
AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC PISTOLS Tokyo Marui has also made AEPs, electric pistols that run on 7.2v rechargeable batteries. These pistols are often more reliable than gas pistols in cold weather. However, these AEPs, due to their lower voltage supplies, have a lower muzzle speed than the AEGs. The kinetic energy output is about 0.4~0.6J per BB. Although all are 7.2V batteries, Marui sell them in different names and stated in the user manuals not to use them in different AEPs. RC BATTLE TANKS These RC tanks can fire 0.2g BB for 25m compare to the Automatic Electric Pistols with a 50m range by official sources.
