Prior 11-Bravo Army Infantryman Review:

PISTOL: I've had this for several months and I think I've fired 500 "shots" from it so far. The first thing that struck me when I first opened the case was that it was Walther stamped as if it were a real gun. Then we open and get a visual image: it is as close as possible to the real size. It has no distinctive colors, markings, etc. that could give the impression that it is a "toy" compared to a real pistol. Weight, size and balance correspond exactly to reality. The mechanics and functions are almost as accurate, with the only difference being that you can't move the bolt as far. However, you can move it far enough to see and clear the camera. The slide also locks backwards in a reloading position when the magazine is empty to quickly reload the next session. Rewinding and reloading another "cartridge" is a quick blink *. Again just like in reality. Surprisingly, the sights are actually bright yellow in daylight and line up with no gaps on either side of the front sight and rear sight post. You get a solid 3-point horizontal sight alignment, which makes for very impressive accuracy. The furthest I've shot I'd say roughly. 45 feet, and from that distance it's a soda can killer. I haven't had to play with a grouping of shots yet, but I've taken it a step further and mounted a laser on it and aimed with the aiming posts and it's very accurate. The trigger feel at each spring tension weight feels very impressive. You can feel the point at which the gun fires and still "pull" the "shot" without having to "pull" the trigger, so you can't anticipate when it's going to fire to ensure accuracy. I fired it semi-auto as fast as I could and it kept up with me without hiccups. MAGAZINE: The weight is heavy and structurally sound. Noise when loading the magazine. is accurate and no problems catching it in position. extraction of mag. does not require effort due to its weight, falls quickly by itself, like a real one. It has the ability to hold the spring in place for quick loading and then "unlock" the spring engagement to be ready for use. CONS: - So far I've only had one case where the C02 canister didn't fit properly in the magazine after installation and was slowly leaking. On closer inspection I found a piece of sheet metal from the remains of a previous C02 tank that had caused the clog and malfunction. Note *Be sure to check where the next cylinder touches beforehand to ensure a good seal and proper seating of the next C02 cylinder. "I fired HC Pepper riot control bullets through them and the gunpowder residue on them caused a retaliatory strike. in my eyes when he gets shot. If you plan to use gas balloons, you should pay attention to the wind direction in advance, which can become a negative factor in self-defense. I plan to buy another one and after I have a real walter. That speaks volumes.
