UK AP Sphinx?

Clearly a UK sphinx, but it says AP in about 10 places, and lacks the false trigger. Did they release an AP and HP one over there?

I think they did. Not 100% sure, but I may have seen one in The Entertainer that lacked the vent hole on the PC that the Hydropower ones have.

Considering that Buzz Bee Toys has an injunction against making blasters with rubber bladders at the moment, it only makes sense that newer models released in the UK were converted to air pressure versions.

There's still some HP Sphinx's kicking about, aswell as AP versions. It seems they don't call the air pressure versions Sphynx's in the UK. :oo:

An AP Gorgon at £8.00 is tempting though!

£8.00 is a good deal. The AP version is still an amazing gun; possibly even better than the HP one.
