KWC Spring Single Action Colt National Match Chrome. Fully functional top-slide is cocked back in an authentic fashion before each shot. Authentic Magazine release and Hammer. Superb Chrome finish. Velocity: 320 Fps with 0.12g BBs and 280 Fps with 0.2g BBs 30 years after the introduction of the Colt .45 1911 Government model - World War II started and thereafter came the ultimate testing ground for the service pistol. Arming soldiers and officers as a self-defense weapon in the Pacific and in Europe - the .45 1911-A1 model passed the battlefield "tests" with flying colors. Some 7 years after the war had ended; the U.S. military brass considered the .45 cartridge an effective round but that the full-sized Government model that fired it was too large for officers and others of high rank to easily carry. Keeping the caliber and capacity - the model 1911-A1 was shortened by 5/8 of an inch - manufactured with lighter alloys and named after the personnel it was designed for - the Commander appeared and was praised. This is a spring gun and the slide must be cocked for each shot. It requires no gas or batteries to operate. Due to this feature - the costs of spring guns are significantly lower - as well as maintenance. They are the most durable of all airsoft guns because they have less pieces that can break. Spring guns are very reliable - affordable and handsome guns.
