Toy-Tec Airsoft Calico M100: Classic and Complicated

[@ExplosiveEnterprises]

Hey guys, hope you got a kick out of this one. Gimmick video or not, we want to make a small correction: The feed system actually goes in the opposite direction from how it's portrayed in the video, with the pawl climbing up and across the drum (with the drum prevented from rotating by that rusty tab of spring steel), before pulling it down to advance the mechanism. Sorry for the mix-up!

[@Michael-fk3ik]

The intro hit me like a train, right down to camera movement, mimic and even speech cadence HOW?? its so damn uncanny

[@JB-pu6ek]

Long lost brothers? 😅

[@pyroromancer]

I knew the thumbnail was suspicious

[@GuyFromNextDoor]

It didn't click until I saw the intro, lol.

[@KonstantinB-tq5nn]

Saw the thumbnail. Double-checked the channel name. Decided that it's just coincidence. Aha!

[@shaqtus3365]

Now I see it, pretty good recreation of it.

[@chasered]

10/10 the format confused me for the first minute or so, however when i realised "oh right its april fools" i already was just so immersed that it didnt even matter at that point bravo gentlemen

[@andrewengel3023]

Not even kidding, this is a fantastic imitation of Forgotten Weapons, and incredibly informative

[@longjingwork5284]

i can see an "forgotten airsofts" channel in future:)

[@bryanhoell5886]

I hope so! A channel like that could become popular!

[@LtStopid]

LMAAAAAO even the ian facial hair

[@brokencreationlordmegatrol3037]

Brilliant parody, i kind of hope Ian sees this

[@Kefuddle]

Love the French Longue reference. You outdid yourself Sir. Such a good presentation. Loved it.

[@ANDunn-tf6xp]

brilliant. I have been a fan of Imam Ocallum from Forgotten Names Channel for a while lol

[@bloodraven8020]

Airsoft Jesus!

[@therideneverends1697]

I gotta say a can of freon getting pulled out packaged for use in a toy really struck me with how different a time the 80s must have been dear god

[@johannesbjerkejannesson428]

Yes we enjoyed it! We are witnessning the rise of a new airsoft channel guys, live! Video by video just keep getting better. Excellent work man and or the team behind you. Please do a lot more! All the best from scandinavia!

[@Deus1236]

That intro was great! Hopefully the real Ian will take note :D

[@kill3rbamb146]

The intro impersonation was WAY too spot on, my god

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

I just realized this wasn't even a Forgotten Weapons April fools. That's how good you guys got me.

[@PerfidiousPuffin]

"Thanks for tuning in to forgotten airsoft." 🤣

[@guyandagun]

Lol. I know Ian and I bet he’d get a kick out of this.

[@howlingwolven]

Send it to him!

[@minkshaming]

I legitimately thought this was a forgotten weapons episode when I saw this on my feed!

[@CaptainKirkNZ]

I love this quirky little gun, super interesting. Glad to see the hopper concept also on the Bizon mags you can get these days.

[@azzamat001]

I loved the gun jesus/forgotton weapons vibe, I had to double take at the start ... nicely done.

[@camilledurand-kriegel6975]

Great Video, I love you're tech minded approach of airsoft, accuracy of comments and analysis. Thank for the Forgotten Weapons hommage ;)

[@turogamer-oi4nq]

honestly would be cool to see more retro airsoft replicas reviewed in the style of forgotten weapons, when it comes to old airsoft replicas not retro style replicas

[@maartenvandelft3676]

that intro fking mazing xD

[@g.p.airsoft]

I was fooled by the thumbnail. I really thought it was a forgotten weapons video. Very well done.

[@johnharris6589]

Great video had me in stitches when he introduced forgotten air soft the beard is just right

[@Ian-jg6pj]

I've watch like three of your videos, and haven't played airsoft in nearly a decade, but I still clicked on this knowing it would be some good April 1st hijinks.

[@-Dezhen]

We live in the correct generation to witness this, ladies and gentlemen.

[@NepaAirsoft]

Awesome video as always guys. I loved using that weapon in the old Black Hawk Down video game years ago.

[@mucke7907]

Yes! Yes! Awsome, i love to see those technical details and the history behind them. BUT! After all the technicallities, i was really urging for a firing demonstration. Just to see how it runs. Firerate, Burst type, performance. All that jazz.

[@ExplosiveEnterprises]

Unfortunately, this one has experienced some severe sear wear and doesn't quite work like it should, but ComradeQuiche Airsoft (@comradequicheairsoft2742) has some actual gameplay footage of one of these in action over on his channel.

[@mucke7907]

@@ExplosiveEnterprises Cool, i will check that out.

[@headwreck]

Forgotten Airsoft 😅

[@McLOVINMike]

I clicked on this without looking at the channel, thinking Ian actually made a video on an airsoft gun for once. Got me good!

[@Tri_Nitro]

Respectfully, MOAR! We need Airsoft Jesus, some of airsoft internal workings are so wildly different from the original I think it'd take a while to run out of content ideas.

[@tk-5764]

Thank you for not making the content a April fools joke but the format the April fools joke

[@lennoxbaumbach390]

This is absolutely brilliant. 11/10

[@sandvich3943]

I was actually considering buying one of these, but I eventually ended up, deciding on getting a Marushin M1 Garand instead. Can’t say I regret it, but I still would’ve liked the calico.

[@icolater27]

Wow a lot of content recently. Man I love EE.

[@Brutalist-]

ayo this hit me as soon as i saw the thumbnail

[@Scarfather2]

"This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them."

[@Smartass-pl3nx]

Dude you are literally him 🔥

[@ericrodgers5646]

One of these days I'll find a Calico rifle to finish my Spaceballs loadout. 😁

[@peterstull7874]

Hey XE, I was wondering if you could do a review of the TM type 89 para gbbr or just the normal type 89 gbbr, as I think its a cool gun and Im thinking about buying one.

[@jaygregus4815]

You know if you take that gas to a recycling center you can probably make more money than you spent on the gun. That stuff is crazy valuable!

[@ABSTRACT278]

LET'S GOOOOO, HE IS BACK

[@edzact_ly]

such an interesting thumbnail and video format 🤔

[@w0t3rdog]

this was really well done

[@toddmansilver12]

that's a bold thumnail strategy.

[@TheVanillaReport]

Hes broken the algorithm.

[@tlmessage9196]

Guy started taking his beard down and went "wait a minute..."

[@Kaospojken94]

10/10 video, I enjoyed it very much

[@donkeldoothedapperdog]

This is far too high quality to just be a simple April Fools joke

[@Terminatorbart]

1,000 bb's, nice!

[@shaqtus3365]

This is the best April Fools video I’ve ever seen.

[@Mountain_Armory]

Apfg Mcx rattler and TM AKX videos in the future?

[@AWLairsoft]

Love the Video, is there going to be a firing test on this replica? would love to see it!

[@comradequicheairsoft2742]

Just uploaded a gameplay video using the full size version.

[@peterbaan9671]

After this Ian should appear on your channel.

[@lotus4665]

Oh no...my boy became a fr*nch lover ugh...get well soon

[@supersmashbrosevil]

Hey, My daily dose of forgotten we...... wait

[@stefanocean]

Honestly, you shouldn't produce a one-of for April Fools, but continue this. This has so much vibe to it, it would wasteful

[@johndonovan7018]

not sure how i feel about the forgotten weapons larp

[@claus2427]

Funny enough, the full lenght M100 have a plastic outer barrel.

[@shadyone6620]

Imagine real Ian McCollum doing April Fools video about airsoft gun instead of real one.

[@DoomedJedi]

well done

[@GoOdHeX]

There's a line between parody and homage. This is definitely the latter. We'll done, now take us to the range.

[@McDylanNuggets]

Do you have any 7.65 French longue?

[@germanwarrabbit]

i love this

[@tomizhou8137]

Ian - wait you're not Ian

[@ArcAngel1156]

HAS IAN SEEN THIS YET!!!!!! EVERYBODY JUST SPAM THIS VIDEO TO HIM HE'S GOT TO SEE THIS!! 😂

[@crakkbone]

This is awesome :)

[@ivanhartley4378]

Is this pre hop gun isnt it? .... ah yeah it is pre hop, that rubber is just a gas seal. you do know that your going to have to do a forgotton airsoft series now lol. speaking of which, i actually found one of TMs first aeg, a famas, but i think mine is a later one as it has a hop unit (sure i read somewhere that the first ones didnt have a hop ... or it might have been a fixed hop .... ill have to look it up).

[@brickphone2570]

Ian?

[@MiguelRamos-fh2ox]

this video got me fucked up, thanks Ian, i mean. Owen

[@DarkShooper]

more early guns

[@danidiper666]

I hope Ian see this 🤣

[@Will_M600]

hahaha i hope ian sees this

[@lauranceberiya1314]

An underpowered gun with no hop up for whitch you have to carry a scuba gear with gas that can poison you if you inhale it, playing airsoft in 90's must have been a sad endeavour

[@greycatturtle7132]

😂love it

[@varaz1470]

Skinwalker thumbnail

[@jimmyhung6087]

💀💀💀

[@maybeblakemclemore]
