Sweet!

Thanks for the heads-up. I picked up eight.

Yep saw them last night and ordered 5 of them!!!!

I hope they are close to scale. Some of their stuff is a little off-scale.

I have been tempted to order from Marauder for some time. Are these soft or hard plastic?

Marauder's weapons are all very hard plastic and can take a lot of abuse I ordered a set of 3 MG34's and a ton of other weapons i Love the new scar and M-14!

aferguson John has said in the past that he probably wont do a PPSH due to the type of handle but he is always open to suggestionsand if he gets enough requests then he may do it.

These weapons are very well made. The only thing they need is paint so they are not just black in color.

A little dry brush gunmetal gray and they look great and of course painting the stocks brown for the older weapons.

Thanks for the info guys. I was afraid of SW/Corp limp plastic, but now have no reason to put off ordering some guns for my customs.

I have lot's of these weapons and love them all. Plastic is hard and will not give you the droop.

Marauder Inc.'s gear is made of injection molded rigid plastics, but they're not easily broken either. They remind me of old GI Joe ARAH gear in terms of quality. They paint fairly well but are subject to wear/tear of course. The items can be broke, but they are true plastic, not pressure resin casts like some "weapons" sites sell (they call them "liquid plastic" casts but they're simply resin, which is often less durable or lower quality to actual injection molded plastics).

Hoping to order some Marauder Inc. items soon myself. If I was a GI Joe collector, I honestly don't know how I'd NOT replace every weapon my figures came with, using a Maruader Inc. gun.

I posted this about six topics down.

Yep good work. This thread started on Sept. 1 which was the same day they hit the site.

I got mine in as well and they are great guns. Now we just need some more WWII stuff.

Someone should put together a list of desired "Gear" from World War 2, and shoot it off to Maruader John. He's a pretty open guy as far as ideas go... I'd think WW2 stuff could do incredibly well... Just think, we need:

-Mortars
-British weaponry
-Russian weaponry
-helmets
-etc.

Hell, if they started making and selling generic headsculpts, I'd go nuts. Especially if they were useable with XD bodies and things.

I say heck yes to helmets and caps. These would do extremely well in my opinion!
