New CO2 pistol from WinGun. This is the NBB version which uses the same slide and frame as their GBB but has a different magazine and internals. Fires +450fps at 74ºF room temperature. Probably near 500fps on a hot summer day.


TRANSCRIPT OF THE VIDEO REVIEW:


REAL STEEL HISTORY
Adopted into the US Army in 1911, the Colt Government M1911 is possibly the most copied and emulated, semi-auto pistol in history. This WinGun model appears to be based on a modified tactical 1911 like those made by Paraordinance USA.


AIRSOFT PACKAGE
The WinGun box is stylishly minimalist. Inside you'll find the pistol, an adjustment tool and a small pour container of .20g BB's.

WinGun makes NBB CO2 pistols for TSD and Crossman's C11 series. But this pistol is in another league. It looks and feels more a like high-end WE or Western Arms 1911. It has a functional slide that you can move back to reveal the hop-up. Which can be adjusted using the 1.5mm allen wrench in the included tool. The metal rear sight can also be adjusted for elevation and windage .

The frame is plastic though nicely matching the matte black metal of the slide. The slide, hammer, barrel, magazine, trigger and firing mechanism are metal. The 1911's frame safety is functional but the grip safety is cosmetic.

The trigger is dual action. But for best accuracy, you should manuall cock the hammer before firing, for the hair-trigger feel of a gas blowback pistol.

The magazine holds 16BB's and contains the CO2 cartridge in a side-loaded cradle. Turning the built in key at he base, pushes the cartridge into the feeding needle. NBB pistols use a fraction of the gas of a GBB so you should over 150rnds per cartridge.


PERFORMANCE
At 72º room temperature, this weapon was firing 460º FPS with .20g BB's! Obviously do not use this pistol for CQB games. But because of it's insanely high FPS, accuracy with heavier BB's was outstanding. At 25ft we got 1.5" groupings. At 50ft we got a better than 50% hit probability on a chest sized target.


CONCLUSION
This has got to be the best looking NBB 1911 currently made. And with an adjustable hop-up, rear sights and insanely high 400+ FPS, this is the first pistol you could conceivably see use as an sniper weapon.

This is first pistol that could make a Gas Blowback snob consider buying a non-blowback.
