    KWC Desert Eagle .50AE (Metal Slide Version)

    This looks like a very Large and Sturdy GBB gun.
    There is metal Slide with ABS body.

    I am an all metal lover myself and have a disdain for ABS bodied
    airsoft products unless they are of really really high quality.
    Especially with Pistols the more metal the better. I can kinda get
    over it for Rifles etc.

    The ABS on this Pistol is Good. This needs LOTS of lubrication
    and I dont think just Silicone Spray will be enough.

    The magazines are a nightmare to try get gas into.
    They just wont fill as easy as my other mags on my other
    GBB's.

    When you do manage to get Gas in them this GBB is Very accurate
    I found propane gives a very satisfying blow back action at one stage.
    No need to adjust the Hop up as it fires pretty accurate and its
    also consistent.

    The Manual that comes with this GBB states that one of the settings
    on the fire selector/safety switch is for Auto but this is not True.
    As its a semi auto GBB only However..........
    I have found sometimes when pulling the trigger this GBB fires 3 shots
    in a row with one trigger pull. Weird!!!! (and Good!)

    This is it partially stripped. Out of all the GBB's I own this seems to have
    a more complex stripping procedure and its innards are different.
    It can be difficult to get it put back together. You will need to keep
    the trigger pulled when putting back on the main slide.

    Racking the slide and seeing it in the locked back position is really cool:

    Its got markings on it and in no place does it say Replica
