Cybergun 1911 blow back

[rockdrill]

Balls.

Soft air is 6mm plastic ball ammo, the other is steel or lead 4.5mm ball.

Thanks, didn't know that.

I think its more down to the power of the pistol rather than the calibre/projectile. IIRC a Softair gun has to be less than 1 joule, anything higher and its an airgun and therefore does not need to be ruined by painting it orange\pink.

Might be off on the power rating there though but you can have a 6mm gun that is an airgun (e.g. Dan Wesson revolvers)

I'd love an metal BB shooter gas blowback 1911 - where does one purchase this kinda thing in the UK? That Witness 1911 looks like what I'm after...

[blooregard]

I dont think they are out yet, I might start making enquiries.

[hedgehugger]

Good man See if you can get a bulk discount...

Seriously though, these look the mutts nuts - do you think the blowback aspect will affect the power/velocity/accuracy of it? Even if it does, there's just something about a moving slide that does it for me...

[blooregard]

To be honest dude I dont worry about the power or accuracy (I have my HW45 for that), the cybergun guns are excellent but wildly inaccurate but you just want to keep on shooting them.

I have the Sig and the Uzi, the Sig is fantastic to blast out 25 rounds then have the slide lock back and the Uzi is a real beast, the kick is very realistic.

Regardless of power or accuracy these guns are well worth the hundred quid or so just for the sheer awesomeness.

The one from Airshooter is non-blowback. The blowback Witness M1911 is not yet here in the UK to my knowledge. I am awaiting more info' from SMK. I do hope we can have it here. I own quite a few blowback pistols and the M1911 is such an iconic pistol that I'd love to own one. I'd like to see a Browning/FN hi-Power too
I have a Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 in 6mm airsoft but as it is over 1 Joule it's classed as an airgun. I shoot metal 6mm BB's from it. It packs a punch and is fairly accurate for a BB gun up to 20 feet. You can also buy it 4.5mm metal bb form. They are very realistic and are fun to shoot. Although not the same as a real powder burner they do recoil quite a bit with the CO2 powered blowback. Check out this guy in Canada. Although we can't import from him he makes rather good reviews with his camera:

If I hear anything back from SMK I'll post any new info'.

Just seen the review on Youtube. Thats what I've been waiting years for.

They are still not on McAvoys website.

Just finished my first shoot with the Tan 1911.
Very good.
Easy to load and operate. Shoots hard and with less clatter than the Sig X five.Nice blowback.
It has a spin up system to aid accuracy which works.
About 50 shots per capsule then locks open and all gas gone.
I didnt miss a british standard bean can at 6 8 and 10 yards.
On a 6 yard target 10 shots 5 in the bull the others a bit left.
It is also an elegant pistol to shoot,slim and predictable.
No paint wear yet unlike the X five.
At under £100 a bargain and I will be getting another one just for display

They are still not on McAvoys website.

that's because they have none left (apart from those ordered and paid for) and are struggling to get more from cybergun - I was in there earlier talking to "the girls" about them. They let me have a look at one that was put away for someone else, very nice piece of kit, very well made. If you look at blooregards photos the gun itself is actually darker than in his pics, the "lightening" of the colour in the pics must be due to the flash, also the writing - especially the "made in taiwan" - isn't as pronounced as in the pics.

Still can't wait for the GSG 522, though there's no delivery date yet
