Pocket Sharp shooter review

    I saw this in the shops for 2 Euro and could not resist buying it.
    th_IMG_0273.jpg
    The Pocket Toy Sharp Shooter, One of the worlds smallest springers.
    This Springer is ideal for covert operations where you could be searched.
    It is credit card size and fits in the wallet.
    Also included in the wallet as Money and Credit Card that is
    used to Pay Shiva from Eirsoft all my wages.

    It comes in a green cheap Frame/Box that has some moving parts
    for absolutely no reason whatsoever. The Box holds some see through ammo.

    The over all finish of this springer is shiny black plastic, there are
    some visible mold lines which can be overlooked considering the price.

    Its collapse able stock extends fully for the firing position.

    It has an internal magazine which holds 7 rounds. These are
    loaded by flipping open the rear iron sight and loading the BB's into the hole.

    note: on the ammo. I highly recommend using the real cheap BB's that
    come with it that have mold lines and are extra light possible lighter than a
    .12g BB. I do not recommend using a high quality .2g BB such as excel brand
    as it will severely limit the power and range of this springer.

    The Barrel is about 1cm in length and the internal piston propels
    a BB at aprox 1.5m before it drops to the ground. As this is a cheap
    springer it fails the coke can test. I am guessing it is not hot and falls
    below the Irish 1j limit.

    Also point to note the trigger and cocking lever are cosmetic only.
    To fire this Airsoft product you pull back on the entire trigger housing
    including the trigger guard to fire.

    For disassembly remove the 3 screws and a spring will fly out and
    nearly take your eye out. Re-assembly is impossible as the parts
    will fly everywhere.

    + points small and compact for CQB
    - points Range is so bad bang kills will be more effective

    Lastly if you have actually read and clicked on the photos until the end you
    will realize I am taking the Mick.

    Great review Bullets, I gotta get me one of those incase Im taken hostage, il hide it behind my ear. Can you get a holster for it do you know?
    Id like to see how it does trough a chrono


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,341 ✭✭✭Fallschirmjager


    donno looks like it could be over the limit....

    any upgrades available?? ris/ras rails anything like that?

    and at distances like that it definitely needs a scope...

    maybe a torch as well for night shooting....

    maybe u could spray paint it so it is not so obvious?


    just some suggestions...

    ;)

    Until you have it chrono'd i think there should be no further talk on the matter since theres a chance it might be a hot one.,




    :D I saw them in the shops a few weeks ago and got one for tony for a laugh, i think hes looking for an ankle holster for it at the moment..,lol

    That's so incredibly pointless, useless and Gucci it's ridiculous. I want several.

    Needs a red dot sight. Everything needs a red dot sight.

    I'm relatively new to Airsoft, so I'm not sure if this is covered in the rules, but does it count as a kill if you hit the enemy on the back of the head by throwing your tiny gun? I'd imagine the range and accuracy would be better...

    it would be great for an ROE game actually, :D
    nobody would know if your hostile or not and you can just walk among them as a civvie with it palmed., :D

    Lazor infact, plus an m203, actually have two or three lazorz, to make it more accurate and give it a higher rof, which lazorz do.

    You could have someones eye out with that:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,172 ✭✭✭Mweelrea


    Lol!!:D

    Well done bullets for humouring my evening!:D

    Pity you can't reassemble it though, It would be great for a pistol game!


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,804 ✭✭✭✭Witcher


    hmm it might be a springer but with a bit of work it could be a great gun, put a

    gearbox in it, sytema turbo motor, ms90, tightbore, 203 or maybe a foregrip,

    stick an acog on it.........now thats a gun :pac:
