Co2 Desert Eagle

Post by Spencerman

Has anybody actually seen this gun?

Is it any good? It certainly looks quite good, and it is not a BB gun, yet has a blowback slide.

There is a P99 out as well not seen any reports and not sure how far that slide actually blows back but they are not to expensive and have air pistol power levels so maybe a good gun for target shooting at longer distances

I have seen reviews on the P99c, although it is the compact version, and I personally dont like that one. I wonder if the Desert Eagle is the full size jobby, or if that is smaller than the real counterpart?

hi, i used to own this oneits the co2 version bb,

https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img51/4206/kwcdeco2l2nj.jpg

it wasnt what i expected, the Tokyo marui airsoft gas blow back version is havier, the recoil was greater and the sound was better even tho this model was full metal. i was pretty disapointed to tell you the truth.

bigbshotya - the gun he's referring to is a co2 pellet gun, not an airsoft gun

Seen a few reviews of these and the blowback isnt really what its cracked up to be...the slides only blowback about an inch if that! and with the DE only the back part of the slide blows back.

I'll try find links to the reviews and post them up.

They look ok but if your used to the blowback on an airsoft gas blowback they might be a let down, the slides also dont lock back when your out of ammo.


edit:

DE review (both reviews in german so stick the link into babelfish)

Example of how far the slide moves on the P99c

Those links were great. Too bad that I dont speak German. That CP99C really looks shit. I am not a particularly big fan of it in the first place, but to have it only slide back a little bit, and the ejection port is sealed shut, well, that is just shit. The Desert Eagle doesnt look too bad. Even though the slide does not move back as far as the real thing it does at least open up the ejection port. It looks easier to operate than the CP99C as far as the insertion of the co2 bulb. I liked the way it was done on the CP99 (original version, not crappy little blowback CP99C) best. I just cant help thinking that the Desert Eagle version just looks too small. Is it a 1:1 scale?

Funny i was just going to ask about the CO2 P99. Here is a link to them in the US:

Are these legal in the UK? I have seen a real nice blank P99 but i don't think its legal here in the UK?

Any info on this P99 would be great.

Thanks

When i saw the price the P99 was selling for i knew it would be nothing special and those pics prove it, pity sounded like a good idea.

The CP99 co2 pistols are perfectly legal in the UK but the blank firers i've seen were always forward venting versions which are totally illegal. You can buy the CP99 co2 guns in nearly any decent gunshop/gun website over here, so theres no need to buy from the US.

DeadlyElement....
the one i put up is a full metal co2 gun its just bbs instead of pellets, the tokyo marui gas blow back desert eagle are pretty realistic, they look the part and are pretty heavy, it weighs more than the pfc desert eagle when the pfc desert eagle its loaded.

Well, if you want blowback, CO2 guns are never going to be very impressive unless they take 2 bulbs. One is enough to fire the pellet, but to have blowback aswell, its gonna use up a bulb in 2 shots lol. So we wont see good blowback CO2 until they start with 2 bulbs or bigger gas supplies.

LDR, you need to be careful if you buy a gun from the States. Although it may be legal for you to own that make and model of gun in the U.K., the poundage will probably be different to comply with U.K. laws. If you get caught importing a gun that is over the legal limit, it will ba classed as a section 5 firearm, and should therefor carry a mandatory 5 year jail sentance.
