Tokyo Marui MPL Review

Tokyo Marui MPL Review

 

Overview:

So, the MPL is like the OG of GBB (Gas Blowback) systems, part of the ancient gas-powered replica tribe. Forget about the fancy tech you find in today's replicas; this bad boy operates on a totally different wavelength. Built on the frugal side, its body is made of injection-molded stuff – a bit of creaking, but it's like an old tank, you know? And guess what? It's not just spitting shells; it's a legit airsoft replica too!

 

Quality:

The MPL is like that vintage car your grandpa still keeps in the garage after 30 years. It rocks a clamshell polymer body – a little creaky, but it's tough as nails. Inside, it's got zamac bits (sounds like a funky band name), and the gas "Nozzle" is the only plastic VIP. Toss in a couple of weights inside for that hefty feel. Oh, and the outside? Engraved trademarks and an ejection port where shells do their flying dance. But, sorry, no adjustable sights at this party.

Internals:

Now, this MPL is like the rebel of gas blowbacks – it's a "Generation 1" maverick. Instead of the usual piston pushing the slide back, it's pushing it forward. Mind blown, right? Attach your HPA line or gas canister (check out the pics), and the "bolt" closes on the shell rim. Quick note: the "bolt" is basically a snazzy extractor  grabbing onto the shell.

Magazines? They're playing a game of hide-and-seek with the BBs. Confusing at first, but here's the trick: pull the BB follower to the mag's bottom, lock it, and then dump your BBs. It releases its grip when you shove the mag into the replica.

And the BB firing part? That's the crown jewel of silliness. In a regular gas replica, you'd see a nozzle doing its loading and unloading dance. But not the MPL – it's got a BB carousel, like some funky fair ride. Spins those BBs from the top of the mag and shoots them down the barrel like it's party time. It's a wild ride, my friend!
