n1ckh Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 I finally gave in & bought an M1911 bnib for £100 Cybergun is a French company who under licence, have produced it & the pistol in question is a full metal, chrome silver, M1911 MK4 series 70 gas blow back pistol My questions are 1- what (if any) M1911 gas mags are compatible ?? 2- it says 390 fps on the box (until it's chrono'd) how would I bring that down ?? Cheers guys

Cheers guys Is it gas or CO2. Mag wise generally WE will fit but not TM
n1ckh Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 Is it gas or CO2. Mag wise generally WE will fit but not TM Ummmm it does say in my post that it's a GAS BLOW BACK pistol mate lol but after a day at work, I tend to skim over things when reading So you reckon WE mags should fit
Supporters Qlimax Posted July 15, 2015 Supporters Posted July 15, 2015 I was checking as normally gas isn't that high on Fps it's normally CO2. Yeah WE should fit n1ckh 1
DEDSEC Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Ummmm it does say in my post that it's a GAS BLOW BACK pistol mate lol but after a day at work, I tend to skim over things when reading So you reckon WE mags should fit Co2 is a gas and many companies refer to a gun being "gas blowback" if it accepts or runs on Co2. So don't be so harsh on Qlimax Qlimax and n1ckh 2
n1ckh Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 Sorry DEDSEC, I was trying to be funny but far as I know, if it was Co2 then I would state that & thanks for clearing that up aswell, I didn't know that companys refer Co2 & green gas as both as on the boxes, it says what type gas it takes So to clear things up, it's a green gas gbb & thanks again Qlimax & I hope no offence was caused

To answer your question however, 390FPS would be with a 0.12g bb as Cybergun do that a lot with their products. With a 0.20g bb, you're looking at about 310 to 330 FPS depending on gas used. If you're paranoid about it shooting too hot then use a low powered gas like 144 etc. I belive Cybergun are just a licencing company though. Much like the SOCOM GEAR M1911 is a licensed version of a WE M1911. So following that, Qlimax is right in saying WE magazines will work fine but so will Tokyo Marui. I have a Tokyo Marui M1911 and use WE magazines in it as well as I previously had a WE Desert Warrior and used Tokyo Marui magazines in it. It's most likely a clone or a retake on a WE and WE typically base their pistols off Tokyo Marui pistols (hence why you hear people say " it's TM compatible). Hope it helps.
n1ckh Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 No mate but it's very similar to that, it doesn't have the Orange tip & uses green gas He did have that one but the sites I use don't allow Co2

Well, I walked into that one with my eyes wide open pmsl It's good to know that Co2 is also considered as gas blow back so I know for future reference, cheers dedsec I've made the cross over from a Glock AEP to gas blow back so still learning about compatible parts, a mate of mine has a 1911 but he's not attending on Sunday so I'll get a WE mag when I can, I'll chrono it on Sunday to see what the FPS is
