How does that 4 BB's into each shell feature work ?

Is one BB somehow stripped or removed from one of the shells a bit like shotgun shells ?

As far as i know. The shells are shaped so the gas goes around and pushes the first bb out. The next bb takes its place, and so on...

There is a common problem with KWC revolvers that they'll fire all BBs from a shell as they get older - something to watch out for

Looking to get one of these with the longer barrel and was just wondering what ya end up paying for it in the end?

And any fps figures?

Too much :rolleyes: Ended up at €130.

Fps: I would say over 250 fps. Can't give an exact figure.
Might go airsofting this weekend and will get the chronoed then

I was wondering how skirmishable it is, cause i really like it, i used to have marui python but the internal gas canister in the sprang a leak and i tried to solder over the leak, not the cleverest thing ive done and the there was a catastophic failure of the tank. That was the only poor experience i had with marui and could have been just that one, so am tempted at getting another python and your review threw up some ideas. I am trying to get a sf loadout for vietnam together and wanted something more exhautic then a 1911, so got a Tanaka M10 revolver and a WE hipower. I really like both but the python with the wood grips looks amazing, can you publish a skirmisg review, if performs well the px4 is going on the future get list and this is taking priority.

Well, i don't think pytons were used in Vietnam. Maybe though considering it started manufactor in 1955.... anyway

It's completely skirmishable. A few extra shells and you would be set

The KWC is a direct clone of the TM.

There's zero leaks with mine. Good gas consumption too.

I orignaly wanted to get an M10 style revolver but they were either out of stock or out of my price range.

Do the bbs' stay in place solid in the shells or could the fall out with a little shake

Nope, they stay in there. There is a little piece of rubber that stops them falling out
