UKARMS 1911 Spring Plastic Pistol Airsoft Gun 217AF w/ Laser, Light FPS-160

 (9 customer reviews)

If you're an airsoft beginner or if this is a gift for a little kid, maybe age 10, then it's okay. The laser is off. From 20 feet away, the laser is about 2 feet to the right. It is 160 fps so the user can't get seriously hurt unless they are stupid with it and don't know how to use it responsibly. This is an okay side arm for close quarters combat, strictly. It's pretty accurate. Only use .12g bb's with this gun. It holds 10 bb's in the clip, but the spring actually lasts longer if you put 8 or 9 in because the spring won't be under stress and doesn't tend to snap out. All together, it is a good pistol for $10. Here is my analysis:

FPS
2/5

Accuracy
3.75/5

Magazine capacity:
3.5/10 (For a handgun it's decent)

Final grade:
3.5/5 (For a $10 pistol, it's good.)

It is an okay airsoft gun. The laser is way off which is a bummer but you basically get what you pay for. For the price of this airsoft, I think it was a good deal. It should last awhile.

I bought a couple of these for a convention costume and they are perfect for it because they're all made of plastic (cannot have metal parts at these public conventions) and red/orange tips on end so they're easily identifiable as fake. Because they are airsoft guns, I had to remove the clip and firing mechanism since no working-parts bb guns are allowed either, but that was no problem and even if the thing broke in the process, it's no big deal because these only cost a few bucks a piece- great deal!
