Ok, well I didn't get the video footage I was hoping to get, but I scheduled this beast for a range test and a later photo shoot. Accuracy is proving to be very close and sometimes equal to that of some GBB pistols upgraded with tightbore barrels. While at the Bunker, I was easily able to outrange any other pistol on the field while able to get a CBM hit at 150ft with .25g BB's. There is NO doubt that this pistol is an awfense use pistol given it's range and high velocity.
Here are the first impressions....
I was suprised that this gun came with a KWA decal!
As you an see on the trigger guard, there is a hole and yes it IS threaded for a LAM unit.
As usual, 3-dot combat sights. (can't really see the front one in this piture)
This pistol is massive! To put this pic in perspetive, I have a pair of Condor tactical hard nuckle gloves that are 2nd from the largest size they make and they just barely fit me, so yeah I have big hands. This picture shows the maximum amount I can wrap my hand around the grip on this gun.
Now for the real proof of accuracy review. All groups shot by me and me only, groups shot off hand using propane and WE Tech .28g BB's. Both groups shot at the police standard 25ft.
First group. It seems the first few shots are usually the one's that produce the 'flyers'. My guess is that it's due to the higher fps that all gas guns give for the first few shots that makes them stray away from the others. You will see this in the second grouping as well.
I'm sure you can see that my first group is to the left of the bullseye. Yes it is low as well, but at only 25ft pretty much anything will group low due to the path of the projectile not meeting up with the line of sight yet. Luckily the MK23's sights are slightly adjustable, and I took this opportunity to take advantage of that feature. You can see that rear sight is just slightly off to the right now.
After the sight adjustment, it's time for the second group. You will notice that this group is obviously larger than the previous one. My guess is that it's due to me not being used to holding the a handgun on target through 25 shots as opposed to 7-10 with my 1911's and various 22lr pistols.
In short, this is a real show stopper of a pistol. Keep in mind that it is a LARGE pistol if you're thinking about getting one. Also, keep this thing well lubricated. If there is much lack in lubrication, the first few shots' blowback will be kinda weak but the gun will still function. This is already one of my favorites, and I'm very pleased with my purhase.
