KWA is a manufacturer of airsoft guns. More specifically, KWA manufactures very accurate replicas of real firearms – both rifles and pistols. I have several of their products and like them very much. My latest is their replica of the Sig P226 and I’ve made a little video using it. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdjO72pfunA .
An oddity, to me anyway, discovered during testing is that the velocity from the M226 is low after first charging the magazine. After the first few shots, velocity increases and then remains relatively constant.
I plan to do some additional testing with heavier BBs and varied charging techniques.
I enjoy collecting and shooting airgun replicas of real pistols. My most recent addition is the Schofield #3 top break revolver.
About 1870, Smith & Wesson developed a top break revolver. An Army Ordnance officer, Major George W. Schofield of the 10th Cavalry, modified it to fit his needs and Smith and Wesson incorporated his modifications into the design in 1875. They named the new design the “Schofield”. Smith and Wesson produced variations of their #3 revolver until 1915.
Replica
This airgun replica of the Schofield No. 3 Revolver is imported from Taiwan by Bear River. It has:
8 Inch Barrel
BBs
435 FPS
12g CO2 Powered
The Schofield actually preceded the famous Colt Single Action Army pistol which was introduced 1873. Colt’s Single Action Army (and it’s clones and reproductions) is still being manufactured.
Years later, another top break revolver, the Webley Mark I, was adopted by the British Army in 1887 and was manufactured until 1963.
