WE-Tech Gen2 Heavy Weight 1911 MEU Airsoft GBB Pistol (Color: Dark Earth w/ Rail)

"I ordered this gun a couple of weeks ago and it has an amazing feel to it. The blowback is realistic and, the accuracy is amazing and good up to 60 ft.

But their was a downside to this gun, when I recieved in through the mail the mag gas chamber was too deep for the needle to reach. I had to saw it off and the gas flows in it fine, but ive used it in my first airsoft war recently, but the gas was slowly leaking out for some reason and it just wasted of 3 cans of green gas.

Great gun, but I recommend to buy better mags than it came with and hope for a new restock soon on gas.

Thanks Evike!

"Excellent pistol. I've been using it at a number of games, and it has never failed to impress. FPS is pretty consistant at 330, 2 magazines are nice (especially since you can get a 3rd with the "Holy Cow" special), and it comes in a very nice hard case (which isn't listed anywhere). Mine didn't come with a manual, but it was just a simple thing to go back to Evike and ask them for one.

With that out of the way, I feel I should inform everyone of a couple very large problems with this pistol:

_ It gets dirty VERY EASY. Drop it in the dust once, and you'll have to clean all the internals before you can use it again. It jams that easily.
_ The inside of the slide has 3 metal ridges that like to catch on the outer barrel, effectively stopping the gun from cycling. You can unjam the slide by pushing back on the orange tip, but once it starts jamming like this, you'll have to take a dremel to the ridges and remove them, or it will jam every time you try to fire.

What all this means is this gun is not for the beginner airsoft player. Unless you are comfortable modifying your gun, or know someone who is, I'd recommend you find another pistol.

"i ordered this over the summer along with a WE PDW
great to have as a side arm

Pros:
sturdy
Nice kick
Full Metal
acurate for a pistol
I would reccomend using .23s for best acuracy and range
The sights are really good


Cons:
mine came with a bad hopup unit ( it is really loose and does not stay in place)
nothing other than that

"The gun itself is the best you can get for the price. the only problem i had was the mags. i had one that came with the gun and i bought an extra. they both broke. its the little plastic piece you pull down to load the BBs in the gun. so the magazine is defective. but the gun i reccomend buying. just get it and talk to evike if it breaks, im sure they can help.

"This is a nice pistol now I wana throw out there that it doesn't come with the marine corps. Grips but evike sells them for $5 so you just have to figure out how to put them on the gun becuase you just have to trade out the emblem other than that this gun is absolutly amazing full metal very strong recoil can't have asked for a better pistol

Pros:
Full metal
Strong recoil
Pleasing asthetics
Not Chinese

Cons:
No marine corps. emblem
Gas guzler
Didn't come with a manual

"This gun is amazing, it was way a better than i expected, shoots hard and accurate out of the box and a great side arm, but you should never use it as a primary since it is a gas hog and the mag freezes up fast. One problem with the gun is that the magazine follower is made out of crappy cheap very brittle plastic, it breaks extremely easy, one from loading mistakes and the other from just firing a few mags. One was completely shattered and destroyed. They are $5 a piece for such a piece of junk (NOT WORTH IT). I'm getting my own magazine followers CNC'd out of steel for my mags for $20 for 3.
The rest of the gun is great, and full metal. Heavy which i love and it kicks back like a .22 rifle.

Pros
All Metal
Great quality in parts
Heavy
Extremely Durable
Shoots hard and Accurate

Cons
You will be FORCED to get a new follower i can assure you.
Magazine follower is a piece of crap
Gas Guzzler
No company made a metal or reinforced plastic clone for the folllower, which surprised me.


Gun only for intermediate to advanced players, and needs to be regualarly maintained and taken care of. And if you get one don't let you friends use it because they will do something wrong.

"Magazine broke after one use, got a backup with it for field use but still heavily disappointed in quality control. It's a good gun overall, but still disheartening after the long wait time and shipping time to get a semi-working product.

"This gun worked so well the first time I fielded it. Sadly it broke right after it. This gun shoots so accurately and has a really nice kick. It's full metal and has a great weight on top of being single action. The mags, if you didn't know already, need an adapter in order to fill them up with gas. I recommend getting regular 1911 mags. Another problem is that the outer barrel is glued on, and it fell off... I would give it a 3.5/5.

Pros:
Nice kick
Accurate
Full Metal
high fps

Cons:
undurable
some poor quality throughout the gun

"Overall this gun wasn't worth the price to me, due a variety of malfunctions that were told to me were random and unfortunate, making this pistol completely worthless after just a year. However, this seemed like a special case for me, and when it worked, it worked like a dream.
Pros:
Accurate for a pistol
Full metal
Heavy (pro for me)
Most of the time had a nice hard kick
Came with 2 magazines (3rd with holy cow)
Standard threads
Cool marine insignia you can put in the grip to replace the WE ones
Cons:
Mine had problems which made it worthless after a year
Barrel cover would shoot out with a silencer on it (some JB weld fixed that up)
Mine was a gas hog, usually 1 magazine full per gas load (~15 shots)
Black paint came off super easy
Sometimes the hammer would get caught on the slide jamming it, may need to file it down a bit

Overall, this gun has some problems, but if you get a non defective one, it won't disappoint you

"The gun came damaged and scratched, poor quality control in my opinion. Gun box was also opened when I got it. Not happy but I know the quality of the gun is good because a friend has it and it performs well.

"Pros:
Solid feel
Full metal
Extra mag for three dollars
Free 1 day shipping because I live an hour away

Cons:
Scratched up when I got it... I bought it new
Missing emblem on the grip. One side had one, one side didn't. Looked bad
Wobbly side

Conclusion: most of the problems were caused by evike. STOP SAYING THE GUNS ARE NEW IF THEY AREN'T
