Mechanical AirSoft Pistols

"Mechanical AirSoft" pistols are spring piston powered AirGuns.
They generally have a low muzzle velocity between 180 fps and 300 fps with .12 gram or .20 gram 6mm airsoft ammo.
They are easy to use, have few moving parts and are very durable and reliable.

In Canada, the laws are unfortunate for enthusiasts of this type of replica air pistol.
Typically, our spring airsoft pistols need to be half clear plastic because they are too underpowered to be classified as a "sub 500 fps and sub 4.2 fpe firearm"

KWC makes a line of 'metal slide' replica pistols with a muzzle velocity up to 328 fps with .12 gram BB's.

I own a few: Sig Sauer p226, Taurus pt92, Smith & Wesson 4505 and a  BlackWate SiG BW1911.

Umarex makes an H&K P30 which I own that has a metal slide, but it is rated up to 240 fps with .12 gram BB's.

Other all plastic mechanical AirSoft replica pistols that I also own are:
-Beretta mod.92fs(260 fps)
-Walther PPQ(300 fps)
-Walther P22(260 fps)
-Sig Sauer GSR 1911(328 fps)
-Sig Sauer P226(pink frame & black slide)(328 fps)
-IWI UZI pistol(with folding stock)(240 fps)

I also own one metal frame & slide M1911A1 lookalike, the UKARMS G13 (250 fps)
It is a cheap gun, not accurate at all, and not all that fun to shoot either.
