 Boogietime's recommendation | |
Yes, very powerful and accurate.
Good solid build and at the same time light
Very stiff trigger system due to the excessive pull needed to rotate the magazine.
Occasionally jams
Basically the Anics Skif A-3000 F1 has good looks and is built well. The polymer grip, which yes is plastic, is quite good quality and tough at the same time it makes the gun very light and pliable.
The gun is very powerful and can shoot chunks out of a wooden bird board. Very powerful for a co2 pistol.
It's main drawbacks are that its trigger is very, very stiff. This I think is its main problem overall.
This is due to its magazine system. The rotation of the mag and the cokcing of the gun all depends on a massive effort by your finger. It can be very stiff the first time you use it. To the point where someone has already mentioned, it does not go all the way back and fails to fire.
This also affects the firing rate of the gun and its accuracy. Everytime take a stiff shot it can afffect your aim as you pull the trigger with excessive force and hand movement. You then need to re-aim to fire again. The first times you use this gun, it will be very stiff and you will struggle to fire many rounds in a shot time span.
However. some lubrication of the mag, the actual gun hammer mechanism itself will solve this problem to a degree. Only use silicon based gun oils for co2 weapons of course, mineral based gun oils will corrode the rubber pressure seals of the gun in a co2 pistol.
Also, I have found that the trigger system of this gun can become easier to pull with use, I think it is either my finger getting used to it or that the cocking spring and mag have slacked off a bit. Anyway, to existing owners I would say , use it a little more and it will become ok to use.
The last disadvantage about this gun is its sensitivity to ammo. This can be overcome by making sure you use the right type. This gun boasts that it can take bbs' and other light pellets and ammo. but in reality they roll around in the mag
