Another game of "Identify the brand of this gun!"

Silverthorn · September 8th, 2009, 20:00

I bought this clone Glock 17 a year ago or so from someone who managed to import a batch of GBB.

The guy had no idea of the brand and it didn't bother me much (was my first GBB and had a good price).

Please look at the following pictures and let me know what brand of GBB you think it is. Here is the info I can provide you with :

-Magazines have no markings on them

-Gun has "Booming muzzle" written on the left side of the grip

-Gun has "Read menu before use, Made in taiwan" written on the right side right above the grip.

-Gun has "Completed 2001" written at the bottom of the grip's right side.

-Lower receiver is plastic. Slide is metal.

- Safety button under barrel is silver-colored and written "Safty".

-No markings on the slide.

-Mags were of low quality (had to "Coachster-rize" them to reseal them).

That's an HFC. The "Booming Muzzle" is a dead giveaway.

+1 For HFC. They're made in Taiwan. That's the most likely company. However there are other companies such as KJ Works, or KWA that are also in Taiwan. You'll be able to tell it's a KWA though since they're the OEM manufacturer for KSC.

Check it out, I didn't find the exact gun but if you look on page 5 of the gas pistol page you'll see something that looks quite similar to what you have.

The first result. Won't let me look at full size but there is a thread about it.

I say HFC, they had the metal chrome slide model and very few trademarks. I think I was looking at it in that same order at the time.

That's useful when you KNOW it's an "HFC". When you don't, like I did, Google isn't that useful (too many hits).

Don't you think I tried that before....
