I also got a few accessor items from a company called GEAR STOCK, Some CO2 in 12 and 88 gram along with some 6mm aluminum Airsoft BB’s. A very cool rechargeable red and green laser that comes in a nice hard shell case and it has a picatinny rail on the bottom she you can stack a second accessory under it.
Here are some links and specs for the Airguns I show off in this mystery box video:
Type: Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol. Manufacturer: Distributed by KJ Works. Model:1911 TBC. Materials: Mostly all Metal. Weight: 2.2 pounds (980 grams). Total Length: 8.6 inches (218mm) Barrel: 4.25 inches (108mm) metal non-rifled. Propulsion: CO2 x 1. Action: Semi auto blowback, SAO trigger. Ammunition Type: .6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s. Ammunition Capacity: 24 round drop out full size metal magazine. FPS: Claimed 360+.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol is exactly what you would expect from a similar real steel 1911, it’s super short and light, the take-up is almost non-existent with a super light release. There is no adjustment on it but I don’t feel it is needed at all as this is not a competition Airgun, KJWorks does make and sell 1911’s more suited for competition shooting. There is just something about a 1911 trigger that I love!
Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol or even made my Field Test Shooting Performance Video. I have shot a fair amount of KJWorks Full Blowback Airsoft Pistols and they have in all seemed to perform very well for me. So I’m confident when I get to the Field Test Shooting Video for the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol I will not be disappointed in it.
Build Quality: The KJWorks line of Airsoft Guns are known for their quality build and attention to detail, the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol is no exception. It is a mostly all metal Airgun with the acceptation of the grips and gas tube, and perhaps a couple other small internal parts? Fit and finish is bang on and the slide spring feels nice and firm, which should result in a nice crisp blowback action. There is almost no slide wiggle with the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol which again speaks to the quality and workmanship of KJWorks products.
Realism: I’m not really sure how you could get a more realistic Airsoft Pistol than what you have here with the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol. It is 1 to 1 scale and functions almost identically to a real steel 1911 A1. It has full blowback operation and can be field stripped fully top to bottom. Even the grip safety is required in order to shoot it. This version in order to fit the flared out CO2 cartridges does have indents in the magwell which is different than what you would ind on a traditional 1911 but it is not super obvious.
Pros:
Pretty much all metal pistol with good weight to it.
Full heavy blowback operation.
Excellent fit and finish as always with KJWorks pistols.
High capacity full size drop out magazine that holds the Airsoft BB’s and CO2. (Can get Green Gas mags also).
Comes with barrel extension and threaded barrel tip.
Comes in all black and OD green two tone finish.
Working backstop safety
Nice short and light true 1911 style single action only trigger.
Fully field strip-able.
Cons:
Sight are non-adjustable and do not have any white or fiber inserts.
No rail mounting options.
CO2 magazine sticks out a bit.
Comments:
If you are looking for a traditional 1911 styled semi auto Colt Pistol and don’t want a more modernized 1911 then the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol has that classic look but with a bit of an upgraded magazine and the ability to add a mock compensator mainly to protect and hide the barrel extension which when added will increase the velocity and perhaps also accuracy. I like the all black version but you can also get one in two tone OD Green for a more contrasted look. Looking down the sights will be your biggest challenge with the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol, as it has standard post and notch sights that do not have any white dots or marking to assist with aiming. It will be an upgrade for sure from a lessor expensive KWC Full Blowback 1911 and I feel ti is worth the additional money especially if you are a big 1911 fan like me.
In this Unboxing Video I checkout a mid sized mystery box and find some new products inside that I will be making future Table Top and Field Test Shooting Videos for. In this Unboxing Preview Video I mainly talk a look at each item mostly for the fist time and I go over some of the basics for each of them. IN my upcoming full review videos I will go way more into detail so make sure to watch those videos when they come out.
So what did I get in this months box of goodies? The first item I unpacked was the KJWorks 1911-TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol. A firmly traditional 1911 with a single stack magazine configuration at least in terms of external size. I am pretty sure the actual Airsoft BB’s will stack side by side to some degre as it does hold 24 rounds. It also comes with a barrel extension and the ability to add a much suppresser to it to cover the barrel extension I would imagine. It is also available in an OD green receiver version.
The next item I grabbed from the box was the NcSTAR FlipDot Mod. 02 Flip-up Red Dot Sight specifically designed with a MOS compatible mounting plate for Glock Pistols like the new Umarex Glocks I checked out at this years SHOT Show. You can mount this compact Flip-up Red Dot sight directly to the slide of these new Glocks and it also comes with some adaptor plate option for attaching it to a Picatinny Rail.
The next item I took a look at was the Umarex Combat Zone Enforcer Airsoft Pistol. A low cost adn simplistic mostly plastic CO2 powered lightweight Airgun with an all metal 15 round stick magazine and a 400 fps claimed velocity. It’s not going to be the most exciting Airgun but there is very little to go wrong and being so light weight makes it super durable in the even of a drop or fall.
Last but perhaps the oust interesting item that came in this months mystery box was the G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Airsoft Rifle. I kind of butchered the name but I do talk a pretty good look at it in they video. The G&G ARP9 3.0P is a compact AEG Rifle (at least with the stock folded out). It has a unique magazine where the Airsoft BB’s load into 4 separate channels, I am assuming this helps to get more ammo in the magazine (300 rounds) and make it smoother so hopefully less or no jamming. The G&G ARP9 3.0P feels solid in the hand and well made, it also has a claimed velocity of 370 fps which is perfect.
I look forward to making my full Table Top and Shooting Review videos of each of these items so make sure to check back if you are interested in any of them…
In this part two video of our three part video series covering all the different ammo and barrel types that can be used with the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun, I test out the .50 caliber Paintball (Rubber Ball) barrel and ammo option to see what velocity and accrual I can get from the Alias Gem CO2 Airgun. If you have too already watch my Table Top Video and or my BB and Airsoft Field Test Shooting Video, then make sure to do so when you get a chance. Right off the bat I want to say that the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun is not at all an Airgun you are going to want to buy in terms of raw performance as you will see in this video and my other Field Test Videos for it in this series. It is however a very unique Airgun you can shoot up close with and have some fun shooting whatever ammo you decide to go with on that given day.
Starting with velocity, I should have put a brand new CO2 in the Airgun as I end up finding out only getting three good shots out of my remain CO2, because of the super short barrel and rather inefficient use of the CO2, you only get around 12-15 full use shots out of the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun and that is with the larger 12 gram CO2! For that reason I only based my average velocity through my Chronograph on the first three shots I took, which were all pretty close in velocity. Here are the results: 200, 207, 203 with an average of 203 fps using fairly light weight .50 Caliber Rubber Balls. Again the super short barrel does not do this Airgun any favors in the power department.
Moving onto the accuracy portion of this test, well you really don’t need to watch this part as I was not able to hit my 8x11 target setup 30 feet away. Part of the problem is that there are no sights on the .50 Caliber Paintball Barrel and the other factor is that the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun kind of throws rounds all over the place no matter what ammo or barrel type you choose, so trying to figure out exactly where to aim is kind of hard and so I may have simply not been aiming in the best location on the target to get best results. In hind sight I probably should have just shot this Airgun a lot closer than I do when making my standard Field Test Shooting Videos, but this is my standard shooting location and so I stuck with it.
After I make my videos, I sometimes see things I did not notice when I was making them, and in this case I can see that the .50 caliber Paintball Rubber Rounds I was using did not always go as deep in the barrel as you need to front load them and kind of tap them and let gravity help ease them in. I should have perhaps used a pencil or something like it to push the Rubber Balls all the way in for more consistent performance in terms of velocity and accuracy. Well now we all know! You are not going to be using this Paintball Airgun for any kind of Paintball war games and so in my opinion I would go with the included 6mm Airsoft BB’s for shooting in areas where a 4.5mm metal BB may not be good idea. The 6mm Plastic Airsoft BB’s seemed to have the highest velocity averaging 383 fps with .25 gram Airsoft BB’s and I was able to get some of them on the paper target at 30 feet away.
This Field Test Shooting Video for the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun is part one of three videos where I will be testing out the included 4.5mm Steel BB Barrel and 6mm Airsoft Barrel options that come with it in the box. I also have the .50 Caliber Paintball and rocket Barrels that I will be testing in Field test Videos two and three consecutive to this video. Normally I first test velocity and then I test accuracy, but in this three part video series I test velocity and accuracy at the same time being that the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun is a single shot pistol. I get the same end testing results as I would normally get, but I do only shoot 5 rounds at the target, spoiler alert the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun is not all that accurate, so I am not sure if adding another 5 more shots would have shown us a different result.
In terms of velocity, keep in mind the barrel is super short on the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun at just over 3 inches when using the 4.5mm Steel BB, the 6mm Airsoft, and the .50 caliber Paintball Barrels. That said with 4.5mm Steel BB’s I did average 263 fps and with 6mm .25 gram Plastic Airsoft BB’s, I averaged 383 fps which was actually pretty good. The temperature was mid warm so pretty close to room temperature when I performed my test.
Accuracy was not nearly as good as I was hoping for, I was not expecting stellar results and I would say I got even less than stellar results only getting 3 of the 4.5mm Steel BB’s on the paper target and only 2 of the 6mm Airsoft BB’s on the target. I did struggle with exactly where I needed to aim the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun as BB’s were so inconsistent. Perhaps if I was able to figure out the ideal aim point, I would have had more BB’s land on the target. Even the sights are hard to use with such a small Airgun having a super short barrel. If you are hoping the .50 caliber Paintball rounds and Rockets (Bolts) do better, don’t count on it…
All in all Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun is a super cool and unique Airgun that has a lot of options when it comes to ammo choice. I would not recommend using it at anywhere close to 30 feet away as I did in this test, this is how my Airgun range is setup. It would be a lot better at 20 feet or even 10 feet since it is not a lot of fun if when you shoot at something, you don’t really ever hit it ;) Stay posted for my upcoming Field Test Shooting Videos for the .50 Caliber Paintballs and the Rockets (Bolts). I have also made a Table Top video you can check out if you are interested in more of the details and specifications along with some nice close up video of the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun.
