Airsoft Cloner examines the Tokyo Marui Glock 34 gas blowback pistol based on a design that is nearly fifteen years old. He  explores whether this "vintage" plastic sidearm can still hold its own against modern engineering or if it belongs in a museum next to a flip phone. Despite its age, the pistol features internal metal reinforcements that prevent the slide from flying off during a skirmish, which is generally considered a positive trait in the world of airsoft.

Performance-wise, the Glock 34 remains surprisingly snappy, though its gas efficiency shows its age. It managed to fire through about a magazine and a half of BBs before needing a refill, which is decent for a platform that hasn't updated its "old-school" plastic recipe in over a decade. The trigger is light and crisp, although the safety mechanism appears to be more of a suggestion than a functional feature on this particular unit.

Airsoft Cloner admits to not being a typical Glock enthusiast but was won over by the 34's competition-style aesthetics and its ability to sit flush with a flashlight. After snagging it for a bargain price, partially because it arrived without a box and with a few mysterious scuffs, he concludes that it is still a viable tool for the field. He even plans to give it a DIY paint job to hide the battle scars, proving that with enough spray paint, even a teenager-aged airsoft gun can look like a modern contender.
