False advertising
Xavier is disappointed in an Airsoft 1911 replica that he bought to practice with. The video he shows is pretty cool but the pistol in no way functions like that. Speaking of, this video (via Marc) of a Japanese IPSC style match is pretty darn neat. Anyone know what sort of pistols they’re using? That’d be pretty cool to do in the garage.

I noticed they had a sig on their gas models that was $70 and one that was $200. What’s the major difference?

[…] I’d mentioned before how it’d be neat to have an airsoft replica of the my handguns to shoot in the garage. Well, Marc has the skinny on his Airsoft 1911 clone: These high quality airsoft pistols are amazing pieces of equipment. The controls all work the same as a real pistol. 6mm plastic bbs (this takes .2 gram or heavier) load into the magazine and the magazine has a reservoir to hold the compressed gas that powers these pistols so as long as you have loaded magazines you can keep on going with no worry that the GUN will run out of gas.

[…] Uncle, in comments to this post, looks for quality gas blow back airsoft guns so I thought I’d post a couple pics of the only gas gun I have. I purchased this one from a shop in Hong Kong after reading a bunch of reviews. This one of course is a replica of an SV Infinity USPSA Limited gun. […]
