Another M1911 question

[n1ckh]

I finally gave in & bought an M1911 bnib for £100

 

Cybergun is a French company who under licence, have produced it & the pistol in question is a full metal, chrome silver, M1911 MK4 series 70 gas blow back pistol

 

My questions are

 

1- what (if any) M1911 gas mags are compatible ??

2- it says 390 fps on the box (until it's chrono'd) how would I bring that down ??

 

Cheers guys

Is it gas or CO2. Mag wise generally WE will fit but not TM

Ummmm it does say in my post that it's a GAS BLOW BACK pistol mate lol but after a day at work, I tend to skim over things when reading

 

So you reckon WE mags should fit

I was checking as normally gas isn't that high on Fps it's normally CO2.

 

Yeah WE should fit

Co2 is a gas and many companies refer to a gun being "gas blowback" if it accepts or runs on Co2.

 

So don't be so harsh on Qlimax

Sorry DEDSEC, I was trying to be funny but far as I know, if it was Co2 then I would state that & thanks for clearing that up aswell, I didn't know that companys refer Co2 & green gas as both as on the boxes, it says what type gas it takes

 

So to clear things up, it's a green gas gbb & thanks again Qlimax & I hope no offence was caused

I was kidding mate haha just letting you know that Co2 is still referred to by some companies as "gas blowback".

 

To answer your question however, 390FPS would be with a 0.12g bb as Cybergun do that a lot with their products. With a 0.20g bb, you're looking at about 310 to 330 FPS depending on gas used. If you're paranoid about it shooting too hot then use a low powered gas like 144 etc.

 

I belive Cybergun are just a licencing company though. Much like the SOCOM GEAR M1911 is a licensed version of a WE M1911. So following that, Qlimax is right in saying WE magazines will work fine but so will Tokyo Marui. I have a Tokyo Marui M1911 and use WE magazines in it as well as I previously had a WE Desert Warrior and used Tokyo Marui magazines in it. It's most likely a clone or a retake on a WE and WE typically base their pistols off Tokyo Marui pistols (hence why you hear people say " it's TM compatible).

 

Hope it helps.

No mate but it's very similar to that, it doesn't have the Orange tip & uses green gas

 

He did have that one but the sites I use don't allow Co2

Well, I walked into that one with my eyes wide open pmsl

 

It's good to know that Co2 is also considered as gas blow back so I know for future reference, cheers dedsec

 

I've made the cross over from a Glock AEP to gas blow back so still learning about compatible parts, a mate of mine has a 1911 but he's not attending on Sunday so I'll get a WE mag when I can, I'll chrono it on Sunday to see what the FPS is
