Nambu troubleshooting...

If the Airsoft Nambu to real Nambu fit is anything like the Airsoft P.08 to real P.08 fit, the Airsoft mag will be just a frustrating tad too big. I bought an Airsoft snail drum mag, just to stick into my Arty, for fun and display, and it won't fit, no way, no how. A single standard style mag is probably affordable enough to buy one and see. Then we'll all know. And if it's a no-go, then resell to an Airsoft geek! If it does fit, you'll need to remove the guts, which I presume includes a small tank structure for the propane, plus a sprung mechanism to feed the Airsoft rounds. Did MGC make a Nambu? One of those mags would be yet another possibility, perhaps even closer to fitting correctly, as MGC guns cycle PFC rounds very similar in dimension to real ones.

I recall seeing a Nambu Type 14 at either Craft Apple Works and/or Hartford; both make excellent 1:1 copies of real handguns (my Borchardt is a CAW).
