Airsoft Surgeon 2011 Capsicum Silver and Blue

OptimusPrime

New from the Airsoft Surgeon's Capsicum Line of custom gas blowback airsoft pistols. This one's now at RedWolf Airsoft for US$1,633.00... "Capsicum is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family, Solanaceae; more commonly known and Chilies and Peppers. This model proudly displays the name Capsicum as it is appropriate for a gun this spicy. The bold designs on the standard length slide and frame add a funky twist yet not going overboard. This model is available in two versions.

Now in Silver Version with blue metal grip and silver colored grip texture. The texture is added as an integrated emery board like material which adds exceptional grip. The material is mounted inside a receded surface which means rather than sitting slightly proud it instead lies flush on the surface of the weapon. The recess also offers non-grip areas to increase comfort on some spots as well as taking the opportunity to add a flare of style.

Out of the box, Marui pistols are perfectly good; the famed Marui hop-up makes them incredibly long ranged pistols despite their low power. The moment you open one up, that magic seems to evaporate so in order to upgrade a Marui pistol you must understand the gravity of what it is to not only preserve that magic but to out do it.

On gas blow back pistols, the smoother the slide cycles, the more stable the weapon will hold its position in your hands as it shoots. Marui slides are pretty damn good as is, custom ones can go on great. If you take the time to file and tweak the frame and slide so that they mount with exacting precision however, you get a level of performance only possible with such personalized work. This touch of engineering is applied one-on-one to a specific pistol; a specific frame, a specific slide.

A precision gun is one thing, an accurate shooter is another. The gun may put the pellets down a straight line but you still have to put that line in the right place. As an open class type IPSC pistol it cannot make use of more advanced electronic sighting options but at short ranges a skilled shooter only needs iron sights anyway.

The pistol comes with a single Hi-Capa magazine and no accessories; it comes in an Airsoft Surgeon range bag."
