My new airsoft bb spring gun

[saifdiwan]

Had gone to Landmark to buy some books today. In the toys section, something caught my eye. It's a spring airsoft BB gun- with metal slider and barrel. It was- love at first sight. Bought it! Have a look.

How does it shoot ?

[miss_3006]

This pistol shoots plastic BBs and doesn't need any external power source. You have to rack the slide every time to load the next BB and cock the spring.
Single shot. Life of pistol is very less, the spring mechanism break easily if you rack the slide roughly.

i guess raghav meant how is the shooting performance

You're right, miss_3006. Yes, you have to rack the slide each time to load the next BB. That's really boring! I bought this gun because I liked it.

the spring mechanism break easily if you rack the slide roughly.

Why would a gun lover rack the slide roughly? I'd never treat someone who I love, that bad!

Best regards.

Hello Raghav:

The gun shoots really well. Haven't got to check the FPS though. Did some research, and found that it's a cheap Chinese replica of Tokyo Marui Hi capa 5.1 airsoft gun.

Bought it for 550/-. It's "paisa wasool" thing.

Considering the Metal slide and Barrel and overall finishing , I think its a good deal at RS 550/- Does the hammer cock when you rack the slide or its fixed ? Also did you check the barrel if its rifled or smooth ?

[saifdiwan]

Hello Saptarshi:

The hammer doesn't cock. Also, the barrel is smooth. It's a fancy toy.

[saifdiwan]

is it as good as a .22 air pistol..how would u desciribe its power ? can it be used for pest control ?

[saifdiwan]

Hello:

I haven't got to check it's power, but it shoots accurately till 20 feet. Shoots plastic BBs, and can't be used for pest control. It's nowhere close to a pallet air gun.

Best regards,
Saif

Saif , congratulations on your acquisition.

How many BBs does the magazine hold ? Can the BBs be reused ?
