Wow! That M4 of yours is pretty damn long now Newman and I must say the finish on the Ithaca looks a lot better than I thought it would. Very nice good sir. You can totally ignore my next comment though because it's just based on personal perference. I really like the way you've got it all set up there but the fact that the shotty extends further than the barrel on the M4 really bugs me. If I had a simular setup I would purchase a silencer to correct that "minor" problem. Sure that would make that thing even longer and would most likely look like a M4 spear of some sort but eh, that's just how I'd do things. Marui Knights Pro Silencer *hint hint* Very nice Newman, be sure to take some more pics outdoors or something of just the gun for me as the current lighting really make it hard to see things. Even with extensive photoshoppage it still made it hard to see all details. Hmph@All the pimpifed M4's! Edit: Oh, is that real wood on the pumpy thing?

Very nice Newman! That shotty looks pretty sweet on there.... how does it perform though? Oh, and who was it that gave you the idea for your little mask mod, hmmmmm? ;D

Here's my short review for the "Don Sang/KTW Ithaca M37 Sawed Off Shotgun with M16 Family Mount": (out of 10) Appearance: 8 Very little metal, only the rod that connects the pump handle to the gun, and...hrmph. Only thing is, is that I don't mind that, and think that this makes my gun look totally awesome! Note: the woods is plastic but looks very convincing at a distance! One more thing: I don't like how the shotgun goes farther than the M4 barrel, either, but...I don't mind that much. And I'm definitely not interested in a silencer (subsonic ammo pushaw). One more, again: No trademarks. Nada one. Not even "12 gauge" anywhere. Feel: 5 I LOVE how I can hold the gun now (lower than the M4 handgrips), but the thing feels like a toy gun for a little kid! Also, the pump handle feels like crap! It wobbles so much it makes me want to send it back...almost! ;D Note: I'm not sure how heavy my gun is now, but it sure feels like a fricking rock. I'm definitely going to be gaining some (more) muscle by carrying it all day long. Performance: 5 The accuracy is probably the worst I have ever seen for an Airsoft gun. Literally. The micro Uzi electric pistols from Airsoft Atlanta (arguably the worst Airsoft guns ever made) actually shoot in the general direction of where you are pointing, but this thing doesn't! It goes STRAIGHT right! I'll try to see if I was using .20 and .25 bbs at the same time and maybe do another test tomorrow, but...man did the accuracy suck! But to make up for it, the range is hilarious! It goes *about* AS FAR AS my M4A1! I think the hop-up just has to wear in before the bb's start dropping. I *thought* I used .25s, but like I said above, I think I might have mixed some .20s in from when Bigmack sold me some on Saturday (heh..heh..doh!). Coolness Factor: 10 Yep, 10, because this, in my opinion, is the coolest thing to mount on an M4. Overall...26/40. Yeah. That sucks. Yeah, this gun sucks. Don't buy it. ;D Let me be the guinea pig, trust me. After thinking about it: I like the gun, as funny as it sounds. I'm one of a VERY small number of people in the US who has one, and will definitely tell people I have one now on! But...if I could re-do everything, I would have just bought a Tokyo Marui M203 and had better accuracy and (eventually) better range. Oh well. You win some, you lose some. EDIT: You did, Minky, but you got it from eBay, so hah! ;D Thanks for the idea, nonetheless.

I get everything from ebay. Did you know you can buy food from ebay now? I think I might have to stock up on Vanilla Coke.

That Ithaca is my favorite real steel shotgun. Yes, a big ass silencer would complete the look, but it still won't hold a candle to my........... Naturally black receiver.

Wow Newy, I really like it. Don’t listen to these guys; think about it, why the hell would someone put a silencer on their carbine and a master key? The pictures look great, I think though if I were to ever copy you I would get an M16, the shottie extending that far past the barrel bugs me too, but looks like it would be just the right length mounted to an A2.
I must say though Newy, I think your M4 minus the external battery might be the coolest airsoft gun I have seen in MI. Sure Mike’s and Clayton’s M4s are uber sexy but that set up has all been done and way to much. Your Master Key surely does set you apart. Good job mate. *gives high five*

If the battery was still in the handguards, I'd have to take off the Ithaca every time I wanted to switch the battery. Man am I glad I did that external battery mod. even if it doesn't look perfect.

You know it's weird, your gun went from a pretty bad looking gun with the battery upfront (sorry to keep bashing that, this time there is sort of a point to it) to one of the best looking airsoft guns around. Too bad that the thing doesn't shoot straight, i guess that i don't have much to worry about at our next skirmish, i'll just attack you from the left.

+++
Field Manual: Fire Team Movement Chapter: Anti-Newman Tactics
Incase of an encounter against a Newman in battle the proper evading technique used should be that of running counter-clockwise circles around the Newman. This will both baffle the operating system of the Newman and make its weaponry completely useless.

Newman, I have read about people burning their paintball masks (well not burning, but more like melting) and bending them so they don't get in the way when aiming. I think it was an article on airsoftplayers maybe?
