    KWA Glock 23F

    To start, overall a great gun. Full auto is brilliant but a bit pointless without a 50 round mag. Blowback is great fun and really realistic. Surprisingly heavy, heavier when compared with a KJW M9. Magazine is metal and very heavy. Takes 23 BB's and on semi in decent conditions will last 2-3 mags. On full you might get 1 and a half mags if you are lucky. No leaks at all.

    Selector is probably the only bad part of the gun. Very flimsy and badly made. Can sometimes get stuck and has fallen out twice. IF, LIKE ME, YOUR SELECTOR DOES FALL OUT, THERE IS THE MAIN SELECTOR PART AND A TINY, METAL BALL BEARING. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS BEARING AS IT IS TINY, HARD TO REPLACE AND VERY EASILY LOST.

    The mag's fill valve is covered by a plate simply pull down the little tab shown here.

    After pulling this down, slide the base plate across.

    This gun shoots in and around 315 fps ( varies depending on weather ). You can use either HFC 134a gas or Green Gas. The 315 fps is with green gas. Its quite accurate from about 20 feet. Accuracy is pretty bad from any further away. You can strip the slide in less than a minute. You put the selector into the disassembly position then slide down the two tabs on either side of the gun. The slide will slide off. This could be handy for replacing the outer or inner barrel or the recoil rod/spring.

    To conclude,

    Performance - 10/10
    Fit/Finish - 8/10
    Value - 10/10

    You don't have to pull back an inch, just a centimetre or two sometimes.
