This here is Enki’s gun that he wanted me to review for him.  Fine piece of work right here.

SUMMARY: This detailed gun matches the C11 with 480 feet per second firepower.  Although they both share the same firing mechanisms, they do share some flaws, mainly with the clip.  Sometimes when I was feeding a clip in, the magazine spewed BB’s everywhere.  It’s pretty accurate, competing with the C11, and the 357W.  I found the gun very enjoyable, however the top was heavy in comparison to the handle so the front drooped down a lot.   The safety is an easy push-and-slide mechanism with the index finger.  To change the Co2, slide back the handle, exposing the co2 chamber and the screw to tighten/loosen.

SPECS:
Velocity:  480 ft/sec
Magazine size:  18
Ordinance:  .177 Caliber BBs only
Power:  12 gram Co2
Customizable:  Yes
Attachments:  Laser

ACCURACY:  (Tested by Foose on a 4″ target with 10 shots)
5 Meters – 60%
10 meters – 20%

Best Power:  First 25 shots from a fresh Co2
Best Accuracy:  26 – 50 shots into a fresh Co2
Average:  50 – 85 shots into a fresh Co2
Weak Sauce:  86+ into a fresh Co2

REVIEW/RATING:
This gun is pretty fun.  As I said earlier, it has the same firing mechanisms as the C11, so it sports both power and accuracy.  However due to the heavier build on top, the accuracy slightly suffers, since there’s little recoil to counter the downward droop.  Also, there were times on occasion when the clip ejected the rounds when I tried loading.  Nevertheless, this gun earns a 8.9 / 10.

So, I made a few reviews, but for a quick and dirty rundown of them, here is a quick compilation (with links)  of the data:

POWER:  (Feet per second)
1 – Baretta 92FS and Crosman C11 @ 480
2 – Crosman 357W @ 435 – 455
3 – Walther P99 @ 345
Summary:  Just watch where you point these things, the Baretta and C11 can put a nice hole in your belly.

ACCURACY:  (5 and 10  meters at a 4″ target, 10 shots)
1 – Crosman C11 (80% @ 5m, 40% @ 10m)
2 – Crosman 357W (70% @ 5m, 40% @ 10m)
3 – Baretta 92FS  (60% @ 5m, 20% @ 10m)
4 – Walther P99  (50% @ 5m, 20% @ 10m)
Summary:  If Naota and I can shoot the space in the middle of a CD, then there’s no doubt of the C11’s accuracy

REALISM:  (Functions, mechanism, detail)
1 – Walther P99
2 – Crosman 357W
3 – Baretta 92FS
4 – Crosman C11
Summary:  Yeah, the Walther lacks a lot, but you can’t deny the blow back and the realistic mechanisms of the gun are badass.

RATE OF FIRE: (How fast a 10 shot clip is emptied)
1 – Walther P99 @ 2.319 sec
2 – Crosman C11 @ 3.376 sec
3 – Baretta 92FS @ 3.569 sec
4- Crosman 357W @ 3.876 sec
Summary:  The P99 has the smoothest trigger pull out of all of them, dominating the rate of fire.  Both the Baretta and the C11 seem to share the same trigger/loading mechanisms because I found that you needed some effort to pull the trigger.  The 357W of course needed the most because it was cocking the hammer and firing at the same time.
