Lovely gun. Nice heft to it as there is so much metal here and the wood effect stock looks amazing. Feels so "right".

Thompson M1A1 – information excerpted from www.wikipedia.org
The Thompson is an American submachine gun, invented by John T. Thompson in
1919, that became infamous during the Prohibition era. It was a common sight in the media of the time,
being used by both law enforcement officers and criminals. The Thompson was also known informally as: the
"Tommy Gun", "Trench Broom", "Trench Sweeper",
"Chicago Typewriter", "Chicago Piano", "Chicago
Style", and "chopper". The Thompson was favored by soldiers, criminals, police and civilians
alike for its ergonomics, compactness, large .45 ACP cartridge, reliability, and high volume of automatic fire. It has since gained popularity among civilian collectors for its
historical significance.
SW-05 - M1A1 Thompson
replica
The airsoft
gun by Snow Wolf is made of steel, metal and ABS. The body, barrel and sights are made
of metal. The stock, handguard and the pistol grip are made of ABS which
imitates wood. The sling mounts and the magazine cover are made
of steel. This guarantees high durability of these elements, which undergo the
highest strains and are most susceptible to damage.
The airsoft
gun is provided with a Hi-Cap magazine with the capacity of 440 BBs. The muzzle
velocity of approximately 400 fps allows using the airsoft gun in woodland or
for mid-range skirmishes.
The
external workmanship and operation of the airsoft gun are simply excellent. The wood
imitation feels very comfortable when we hold it, and the blackened metal makes
an aesthetic impression. Certainly, this is not an airsoft gun for everyone – it has several
drawbacks, however, completely identical with the drawbacks that the real steel
had as well: the stock with an excessive drop is sometimes uncomfortable to use,
which in turn makes the aiming difficult, the selector lever is far from being
intuitive, and the magazine release requires precision – the same goes for the
magazine attachment. These, however, are the characteristic features
of the real steel equivalent and should not be regarded as drawbacks at all.
For, these are only features and solutions, which are characteristic for
airsoft guns that base on historical firearms. This airsoft gun is bound to be a real
treat for each and every enthusiast enamored in the U.S. armament from the first half
of the twentieth century.
The set
includes:
- the
airsoft gun
- a
magazine
- a battery
- a charger
- a
tactical sling
Technical details:
Product Name:
SW-05
Manufacturer:
Snow Wolf
Warranty:
12 months
Velocity [FPS]
It is the spped of bb, while its leaving the innerbarrel of replica. This speed is measured in FPS (Feet Per Second).
1 FPS = 0,3 m/s
1 J = 99 m/s
1 J = 326,7 FPS
:
400
Propultion
Replicas have spring, electric or gas propultion. Spring models need to
reload after each shot (pull back the lock) to enter the ball into the
chamber. At the same time it pulls spring back, to be able to
give a shot. Electric replicas depends on the battery,
whereby the engine drives the whole gearbox, and a gas models, push
the BB by gas, which loads in magazine (in these replicas ther is
not spring).
:
Electric propulsion
Gearbox version
Indications v2, v3, v6 does not mean the level of advance, but only
shape of gearbox skeleton which was used and selected by the
manufacturer
depending on the capabilities of the body of the replica. For example,
a
models of the M4/M16 family, MP5, have a v2 gearbox, while the AK
family have gearbox v3.
:
Gearbox v6
Type of fire:
Single, auto
Made of:
ABS + metal
Lenght [mm]
The
length of the replca is measured between the two most distant points of
each other. Different models have several of these values, because of
its design allows to increase or decrease it length (eg. folding stock or
extended flash hider).
:
805
Innerbarrel length [mm]:
315
Weight [g]
This is a value that includes the weight of the replica, magazine and
other accessories that are include in set without a battery, charger,
cleaning rod, etc., etc.
:
2974
Battery [V]
Battery
voltage is responsible for the frequency of shots. It must be
remembered that, the stronger spring is in its replica, the higher
voltage must have the battery, because the motor that drives the
whole mechanism needs more energy to stretch the spring.
:
8,4
Battery Capacity [mAh]
Battery capacity determines the time, which it accumulated enough
energy to work gearbox. The greater capacity, then replica will shoot longer.
:
1100
Type of battery
NiCd
rechargeable battery is characterized by high efficiency
current-carrying capacity, but there are disruptive effect on memory.
Should be unloaded and loaded in the full cycle, ie, it is recommended
to fully discharge, and after unloading must charge the battery
immediately without leaving it for a long time in a discharged state.
NiMH batteries have a higher self-discharge over time and shorten the
life - on the other hand, they earn about 30% more capacity.
:
Ni-Mh
Magazine type:
Hi-Cap magazine
Magazine capacity [pcs]:
440
Hop-Up
Hop-Uup system is used for overclocking bb during the shot (putting
it in rotation), through which, it extends its flight
path. Acting laws of physics make that bb lift up,
while the gravitational force take it down. Appropriate
adjustment of Hop-Up, will compensate for these two factors, which
result in long and straight flight for longer distance and be greater focus shot (to improve accuracy).
Power of all presented replicas is less than 2 [J]. You cannot buy a replica in our shop if you are under 18. Do not shoot at other persons, birds or animals.
