Introduction
SKW Airsoft (Skyway Technolog, Spain) takes the Glock AEP a step forward! Finally since it deserves it :) I really like this electric powered Glock 18C style pistol, simply because you can always rely on it. This Yakuza AEP finally shows some high-end performance. It has a huge battery and will perform 3 times longer compared to the Tokyo Marui AEP model. It includes a micro MOSFET and a way better trigger response. This might be a great follow-up to the TM Glock AEP 18C, it's about time since the their latest release late 2004. We played ever since with the TM Glock 18C AEP, so we are looking forward to this review.

Specifications
This new AEP presents the autonomy and performance required by high end users. This is the TM 2.0 version of their Glock 18C AEP. The Yakuza gun belongs to a new AEP generation 2.0. This new generation improves the battery and inside electronics big time.

Thanks to His Lipo 7,4v 800Mah battery, Yakuza last up to 3 times longer than other AEP’s in the market. Charging the battery is very easy and you don’t have to remove it from the pistol. Charger is included in the package!

The pistol includes a high performance micro MOSFET. It increases the performance of the gun in several different ways: protects the electronic system, increases battery duration and better trigger response (love the quick trigger performance of this new AEP compared to the old TM Glock 18C AEP version).

In the field
Simply put, this is the most reliable and effective airsoft pistol in the field! Basically since it’s a AEP platform. Together with those performance improvements it's very effective. No, it does not feature any kick or blow back (fixed slide). So it’s not the most realistic Glock. Full auto is included with this AEP and it performs great. With around 20-25 rounds per second it delivers an impressive performance and will empty your mag in just a few seconds.

This is a secondary you can always trust and is a pleasure carrying with you. A practical note, this pistol is missing a pistol lanyard option in the grip which might come in handy for those with a holster and additional “lost and found” prevention. Do know the origional Glock and the TM platform both also don't have a lanyard option. For those who would like to adjust the grip for bigger hands, this is not an option with this AEP. Those familiar with the Glock platform know the default grip is quite convenient already.

The slide can easily be removed as we are used to in such an AEP platform. So hop-up access is convenient and fast. Do watch out with the Li-Po balancer connector when you install the battery, it can easily be damaged when installing the slide.

Regarding the mags, the good news is they are almost identical to the TM Glock AEP platform! So your old mags can also be used with this Yakuza Glock 18C AEP platform. This saves you several Euro's.

Safety concerns
We didn’t found any big issues with this pistol and yes, overall we are very positive. However we did find a BIG safety concern! When safety (right hand only) is turned on and you heavily pull the trigger you are actually able the SHOOT the pistol. WTF! We already shared this feedback to the manufacturer and we hope this will be fixed very very soon! So basically there is no usable safety option on this pistol, other than disconnecting the battery. Mmmmm.

Metal Version?
There is simply no metal version of this Yakuza Glock 18C AEP platform yet, and yes we would be interested in such a version. The pistol feels a bit light at 630 gr compared to an ASG CZ P-09 (880 gr) for example. Also the old TM Glock AEP platform comes in a bit heavier at 750 gr. The good news about this ABS version is that it feels rock solid.

Trademarks
Not included are any official trademarks. Yet again, this pistol is not about realism. Included are a serial number “DT61095” and a big “Made in china” logo. Not the prettiest externals out there. TM did a slightly better job there, however we all know how strict GLOCK is with their trademark issues. 

Battery
As mentioned in the intro, the battery of this pistol is a BIG pro! Easy to charge and install into the pistol. We estimate it can easily take up to 20 mags (600) rounds on 1 charge! That’s impressive for an AEP platform. I do remember the good old days where we carried 4 additional batteries for our TM Glock AEP. These additional 300 mah compared to the TM platform do make a big difference. By the way, the battery fits in perfect and tight. You definitely won’t need an additional foam or what so ever to keep it in place. You can also charge the battery without taking the battery out the pistol. Batteries can be changed easily, pricing for a seperate battery are not known. Do know batteries from the origional TM platform do NOT fit in this YAKUZA AEP.

Pricing
With prices just around the 120,- Euro in Europe, you can call this Gock 18C actually cheap! Additional mags are around 10,- Euro. All very reasonable for an ABS model when you ask me. Not to mention this pistol comes in very complete and ready to use. Presented in a nice box, where a battery, charger, cleaning rod and speed loader are added by default as mention in the package section of this review.

Accuracy and FPS testing
We will be testing this Glock 18C AEP on our Davinci Dynamics Wireless precision target and Madbull Chrono. These are the results of our FPS testing: 

First attempt: 168.2 FPS
Second attempt: 163.3 FPS
Third attempt: 171.8 FPS
Fourth attempt: 165.1 FPS

So the performence if quite consistant but slightly lower than stated by the manufacturer specifications. Now it comes to accuracy, and remember FPS doesn't say anything about accuracy. 

Conclusions
When you are not into realism, and taking the safety warning for granted. This is a great platform for you. Great reliability for an affordable price. We call it the most functional and effective airsoft pistol platform and give it a 4 out of 5. You are safe to put this item on you Xmas wishlist.

Introduction
The KWA ATP, or "Adaptive Training Pistol", is the latest in the series of KWA Professional Training Airsoft Pistols. The ATP is built using aluminum components, such as the slide and barrel, that provide strength and reliability. To reduce weight and increase ergonomics, the full metal internals are housed inside a durable polymer lower frame. Overall, the pistol has proven itself to be accurate and powerful while maintaining a high level of gas efficiency The ATP is designed to replicate the functionality of a standard police issue firearm, therefore it provides a cost effective training solution for Law Enforcement, military, and contractors alike.

A major draw of the ATP is that it is compatible with popular duty and tactical holsters like the Blackhawk SERPA (for Glock 17/22/31 weapons) and its family of accessories . The Law Enforcement centered design element translates phenomenally to the Airsoft skirmish field where your sure to see this pistol become a popular sidearm in the near future. Continue below and read why this pistol has become my personal favourite!

History
The Adaptive Training Pistol, or ATP, is KWA’s first originally designed training pistol unique to the airsoft market. It was designed to resemble the fit and feel of familiar duty weapons currently used by law enforcement and military groups. With the increasing cost of ammunition and the risks of live fire training, the KWA ATP is one of the most cost effective and valuable training tools available. The KWA ATP was designed with law enforcement training in mind but will perfectly fit on the airsoft battle fields

Introduction
I have always wanted a 1911 after seeing a lot of war movies (especially “black hawk down”) where the 1911 was used by special forces. If special forces use it I want it. I have been searching for a nice full metal 1911 for a long time, first you only had the Western Arms 1911 which is a very good pistol but it’s ABS, and the metal kits for the Western Arms 1911 are very expensive. Later came the choice for the Tokyo marui 1911 but it has the same downside ABS, so when the WE 1911A1 came on the market I found it to be very interesting fully Tokyo marui compatible (the parts not the mags) and full metal. So I am very glad doing this review. Thanks go out to 101airsoft.com who kindly provided this review sample! Check out their offering on the WE Colt M1911A1 here... For only 90 USD, roughly 70 EURO, this model can be yours. Let's continue to the review...

Facts and features
These are the facts of this WE 1911a1 pistol. What is this gun able to? These are the stock specifications listed in the voucher supplied with the pistol. Later on we will test the rifle if all the facts are really true.

History
The 1911 was adopted by the US military and has been used in the US military in several conflicts, Second world war, Korea, Vietnam, Panama, and is still in use by several unit’s to day. Even today it is used by a lot of units because of a few thing’s, the 1911 has great stopping power with the .45mm ammo compared to the weaker 9mm ammo of the M9. The down side of the 1911 is the ammo capacity of only 7 rounds in a magazine, but the 1911 is so reliable that some unit’s in the US army prefer it over the M9.

First Impression
First impression I had when I opened up the cardboard box was that it was a little bigger then I expected, not to big but a little bigger then the berretta. The 1911 has a nice hefty feel to it and it comes with 2 mags which is a big plus. The pistol looks and feels great. Now the more imported stuff I couldn’t wait to load this pistol grapping a can of green gas and a bag of bb’s it was on to the testing.

Externals
The whole 1911 is made out of good quality metal parts, slide, lower frame, outer barrel, spring guide, trigger, hammer, and so on. Only the grips on this pistol and some hop-up part’s aren’t metal the rest is. The grips are plastic which have been given the wood look, it looks nice but in my opinion real wood or hough grips do the WE 1911 more justice. I will buy myself a set of hough grips to replace the originals. The colour of the 1911 is very authentic and looks really well all parts are evenly well painted and all look very good.

When ever I pick up the gun I get a smile on my face, because of the nice looks and feel. Because of the full metal construction it also feels cold. The gun feels rock solid as you may expect from a metal version. The slide fits perfectly, the is hardly any friction or other movement. The magazine fits also need and I couldn't detect any friction. There are also no feeding problems. The overall feeling when holding the gun is solid, like you can hammer some nails with it.

The sights are unpainted, but they can be used easily. Neither the sight is removable nor adjustable, this is quite standard for most pistols. The safety on the WE 1911 is a nice peace of work, there is the grip safety that make sure that the pistol isn’t accidently discharged when falling ore hitting a branch, when you hold the pistol in your hand the grip safety automatically disengages so you can shoot. There is another safety on the WE 1911 when the pistol is loaded you can put this safety up witch is located at the and of the slide just before the hammer, when is safety is engaged there is no way you can shoot, pull the slide, dissemble the pistol, I think it’s nice feature the grip safety for extra secures when in use.

The magazines for the WE 1911 are also fully constructed out of metal and are very sturdy. I have found that the feed well and lock the slide back after every last bb, I have to say I found a few downsides they contain gas for 2 bb loads in the summer and only for 1 in the winter(when I used yellow gas I haven’t had the opportunity to purchase red gas). I had one of the 2 magazines leaking on me after a few time’s of use I opened it up properly greased the o-rings and the problem was solved, I found the magazine to be a bit dry but lubricating the o-rings was an easy fix.

Internals
Field stripping the WE 1911 is easy, release the magazine, pull back the slide until the little gab in the slide is almost at the and of you slide release, push the slide release out. Now you can slide the slide of and adjust the hop-up unit clean and lubricate the other parts. You can further strip the 1911 by pushing the spring guide and spring to the side then pulling them out, turning the black peace at the front of the slide underneath the barrel and pulling it out, then grapping the black tube out from the inside op the slide, then sliding the barrel with hop-up unit out of the front of the slide. The internals look and feel really well made and are 100% compatible with Tokyo marui parts so upgraded parts will be widely available soon.

Performance

BlowBack
The blowback on this pistol is nice I have tried it with green and yellow gas and both where fine (Note yellow gas was used when it was around 5 degrees and the blowback wasn’t that impressive but still fine). There is a recommendation for red gas for this pistol but I have not found a supplier nearby that has it in stock so I hope I will get my hands on some red gas soon that would increase the blowback a lot. The only thing that I have found to be a down side is the slide not cycling as fast as the HFC M190, no problem for me but if I was sniping I would rather have a some what faster cycling side arm.

FPS
The fps test of this gun where done first with predator ultra gas at around 22 degrees Celsius, the pistol was shooting 328 witch is pretty impressive. Later I have tested the WE 1911A1 with yellow gas at 5 degrees Celsius it was still shooting 270/280 witch I found pretty impressive. I hope I can do some test with yellow gas inside at around 20 degrees and also with red gas to see the true potential of this side arm.

Target Practice
I haven’t had the chance to do some real target practice but the shot’s I fired with it in the field where nice shooting far and accurate. The adjustable hop-up comes in handy here because of the gas system and the changing temperatures a gas pistol will have the tendency to change in performance of shot’s, because of the adjustable hop-up you can adjust to the gas you are using ore the temperature outside with out having to change bb weight.

The verdict
If you are looking for a nice full metal GBB that’s worth it’s bang for the buck this pistol is a good choice, considering it’s price and that it come’s with 2 magazines is a big plus. Taking in mind that this pistol is ideal for people who take time for well aimed shot’s rather than spraying because of the lower cycle rate witch isn’t that much lower but it’s noticeable. I would definitely prefer this WE model over de WA and TM models.

• Doesn’t cycle as fast as some other GBB’s
• Low magazine capacity (15)
