BATTLE REVIEW:

Well, last night I took one of my 1911’s (in a WWII shoulder hol­ster) to Elec­trow­erkz and put it through testing.

I was mar­shalling most of the night but I did get to play in two games and the gun saw plenty of action. This com­ing Sunday I will be tak­ing part in the single shot char­ity event and be able to give images as well as words.

[*]Snap on green is very good

Like all of the newer TM’s, the gun likes green up to a point. The cycle rate of the gun is excel­lent, but I did notice that on max ROF that the mag ran out even quicker

[*]Hair trig­ger is nice but you can miss­fire the gun when tak­ing it out/putting it back;
it really is a small pull

I miss­fired the gun get­ting it out in battle and shot the floor. I sus­pect that this will hap­pen again so I will have to be wary.

[*]Power is 313fps on green.

Crono’d a few mags and all the shots were around this power.

[*]Accur­acy is good to very good.

At first, I couldn’t hit any­thing with this gun; much to my dis­may. I am per­haps used to the longer nose of the Desert Eagle or the full auto of the 93r. The nose of this gun is small on com­par­ison. How­ever, after a few games I got it down pat and in the final game (speed­ball) I took it to town. The green team was being owned and so in an effort to keep the game flow­ing, I took up res­id­ence at the far end of the Elec­tro top floor and took pot shots at the Reds. Focus­ing of Kiero, I was able to shoot him con­sist­ently in the face from 55ft or so.

Also, I handed the gun to our res­id­ent gerdo; Doc, and he was able to shoot very nice groups with it no wor­ries. He even shot hanging chain at 15ft first shot.

[*]Range is nor­mal TM, I.E. Excellent

As I said above, the range is very good and the BB travels with only a very slight curve on the end.

[*]No fear factor at all — pitty.

Round­ing a corner into a stair­case full of Reds I got totally laced. The pis­tol induced no fear factor at all.

[*]Sights are only good in light conditions.

The built in sights are very very basic. They assist smooth draws, but don’t help tar­get­ing at all. I am going to have to prac­tice hard to become hot with this gun and I may even start point-shooting in play until then.

[*]18–20 shots on green, so mags not being emptied.

Yup, the mags don’t get all the way so for­get about count­ing your shots. On long games you may want to take a small bottle of gas with you.

Well, that is all until the weekend!
