HFC Full Metal WWII Mauser M712 Airsoft Gas Pistol

"Love it, Its everything I hoped for, Heavy, powerfull, and pretty good looking if I say can say so myself. With all the m1911 M9, and various other pistols that all look the same this is a breath of fresh air. I even bought wooden grips and a holster for it. The sight doesn't work all too well but if you are trying to hit someone long distance with this thing anyways get real and use a rifle. For what it is a vintage german pistol that is both functional and sturdy, I couldn't of asked for more.

"Pros-
full metal
Unique look
Gas efficient
Adjustable rear sight
Easy to access safety
Large magazine capacity
Easy to adjust hop up

Cons-
Non-blowback
$30 magazines
Pretty small sights

Overall-definitely worth the buy!

"First of all, I wouldn't even say this gun is a pistol. With its spot on accuracy and high FPS I would classify this baby a sniper! The imitation wood feels so real you cant even tell that it isn't real wood. For only $94.95 this thing is a steal!

Pros:
Great sturdy feel

Awesome accuracy

Great FPS (I only tested .20 BBs though)

Amazing wood feel on the pistol grip

Cons:
You need a special holster that can run you around $40

That's about the only cons with this gun.

I give this gun an easy 5/5! Great gun, if you don't have it, GET IT!

"I got my broomhandle today and I am very pleased. I got it because I wanted something unique and I am also in the works of a WWI Imperial German loadout. I did a chrono and test fire and I am very happy. I currently have it on my molle rig. If you are a fan of oddball guns or just want a nice WWI/WWII handgun to stand out in a world of M1911's and M9's I would suggest getting this gun.

Pros:
-UNIQUE
-Good range (For a pistol.)
-Good accuracy (For a pistol.)
-95% metal
-Good grips
-Sturdy construction (After several reviews I have never heard of a broken one.)
-Cost effective
-Very simple operation
-It's a broomhandle :)

Cons:
-The inner housing is plastic (Seems sturdy but i am keeping an eye on it.)
-No trademarks
-You need to order a proper holster made specialy for the broomhandle
-HFC makes only two accessories, a wooden stock/holster and short mag. I really want the accessories, but Evike doesn't have them.
-I cease to find spare parts, but again I haven't heard of a broken one. Spare parts wouldn't hurt though.

Overall I would highly reccamend it. The pros greatly outweigh the cons. Even if the holster, stock, and short mags are rare the gun is still awesome. 5 stars!

"When I first got this gun I was disappointed. Since the gun shoots at 400 fps, I figured using .25 bbs would be logical. It turns out that the hop-up system for this gun works best with .20 bbs. After making the switch, the gun shot very accurately with a range of 80 feet.

After the bb goes about 70-90 feet, the bb drops down very harshly for some reason. Anything within that range you'll be able to hit once you've adjusted the hop-up. The gun itself is fairly heavy and the only holster that fits it is a Mac11 styled holster Evike sells. The gas mag does seem to leak, so you should tighten the invalve (mine was a bit loose) a little bit and spray some silicone oil inside the mag. Once you do that, the mag works fine.

Overall, I'm really pleased with the gun. After making a few adjustments and changing bbs, the gun is very solid and with no blowback, it's pretty quiet. For $95 it's a great gas gun that's very gas efficient.

"This gun kicks ass! Its seriously one of the best pistols that i have ever shot. It came with real wood grips too haha. Its a great intimidator too. You dont want to get caught on the wrong side of this gun.

"u need to pay extra for all upgrades unless it preupgraded aka Evike Custom guns

Webmaster: For holsters go to the holster category. For laser go to laser category...ect.

"it says there's an upgradability. now do we to choose the upgrade, or does it just come with the gun?

"The gun feels great in the hand and it's an absolute joy to own. If you're getting it for the collector and replica value then it's great (although the fire selector is a dummy and purely for aesthetic) everything functions as it should and is made out of a solid material.

Although, when it comes to functionality my only concern is magazine reloading. The spring does not come with a catch and can be VERY troublesome to reload. The magazines are made out of solid material and you can throw them around a bit with out concern.

Also be aware that if you plan on getting the wooden stock/holster then try to find and purchase the smaller magazines, otherwise you will have to holster the gun empty.

"Great gun and its extremely fun to mess around with

Pros
shoots hard and fast
full metal

Cons
leaky mags
$30 mags
$40 holster

"The gun has a huge problem with the magazine leaking gas and there are no solutions on the web iv'e checked for hours. My only plus to this gun is that it looks sick. I would never recommend this gun in battle.
