Sports reviews of MK23 Navy SEAL Airsoft Spring Pistol airsoft gun
Customer Review: The SOCOM OWNES
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I hope you can take the time to read this... You might think: "Is this kid CRAZY??? Man! Look at all of this BS!"
But trust me, it is more than just BS.
This is by far my best (and only) pistol. I was looking into Airsoft, because I have outgrown Nerf (Trust me, it was still fun though). When I found this gun, I was truly amazed. [...]
-The MK23 (a.k.a. SOCOM (Special Operations Command)) pistol is a large and hefty gun... Okay, maybe not so hefty, but still weighs 1 pound without the metal suppressor, and 1.8 pounds with it. It is basically the exact replica, without the fire modes, and de-cocking lever. It does, however, have a safety switch.
-Speaking of the suppressor, it seems smaller in the picture than it really is. But hey, it still looks wicked awesome with it on the gun. Some say it improves accuracy, but if you ask me, the Socom is already crazy accurate if you know how to use the sights. The suppressor is also (I believe, and it feels like it) 100% metal besides the orange paint on the tip. Also, that paint will scratch off if you hit it or scrape it on a hard surface, so handle it with care. One note: The suppressor does not actually silence the gun. I know. It's a disappointment. Another note: When constantly used, the orange plastic on the front rubs off a bit. Only use the suppressor when needed, which is never, so use as seldom as possible.
-Accuracy (like I mentioned before) is incredible. The real MK23 was made because SOCOM requested a pistol (and I quote from Jane's Guns Recognition Guide) "with superior accuracy to the M1911 A1 with an accessory silencer and a laser aiming spot projector." Using the sights, you could hit a quarter easily from 10ft. You can hit a 3x3 inch Post-it-Note from 16ft with some practice and some tranquilizers to keep your hands steady.
-Cocking (say whatever sick jokes you want, pervert). I know that the slide may be a bit hard to pull back for some people, like me. I just put the slide to my left leg along with my hand, and use the friction of my leg to assist the right hand in pushing the handle forward. I know it's kind of hard to picture, but if you understand, it helps a ton. These days, I can pull it back without having to use my leg, so it looks a bit more natural, but it sometimes makes my left arm a bit sore.
-Theoretically, a laser designed to fit with "under the barrel" rails could work with the Socom. Personally, I have looked on both Amazon and eBay for a suitable laser. Unfortunately, I haven't found one under 30$ compatible with a rail. I have, however, found some lasers that do not use the rail, but instead use a mini clamp to attach itself to the end of the trigger guard. These lasers also are quite expensive. Plus, you'll have to deal with bore sighting, batteries, and defected products, so my advice is to skip the laser all together.
-Clips for the Socom look like the real thing. They are also metal, I believe. They hold 25 BBs, MAX. Any more could damage the internals. Ejecting a spent magazine and putting in a new one can be a stylish manner, lol. The package also comes with 2 (one in the gun, and one in the box). Some say loading BBs into the clip can be painful, but it really isn't that bad. I also recommend 0.2 BBs, because I have used 0.12 and they are not even close to as accurate as 0.2 BBs.
-Tips:
-When you first get the gun, don't over use it. You are going to get a bruise.
-Bruise? This gun hurts the user? Well, yeah, if you shoot yourself. But it also bruises your right hand: the place between your index finger and your thumb. You will see what I'm talking about once you get the gun. But don't worry; your hand will toughen up.
-Dress up. Hey, looks count.
-Make a holster. (It is really useful.)
-Practice makes perfect.
-This gun hurts (280+ fps). It can puncture corrugated cardboard at 10ft. Beware!
Hopefully, you have managed to read my review without falling asleep. I hope it helped, too.
Cheers,
Jsh
Description of MK23 Navy SEAL Airsoft Spring Pistol airsoft gun
* Fire mode: Manual cocking * Safety: YES * Extra MagazineA device to hold pellets. There is no spring and the action has to manipulate the magazine. Included * Orange muzzleA 1:1 scale replica of an actual MK23 pistol, this UTG spring-powered airsoft gun is remarkably authentic. The MK23 fires round 6mm plastic pellets known as BBs, which are propelled out of the gun by compressed air. The advantage of the airsoft pistol, however, is that players can safely train, simulate, or play with the gun without fearing serious injury. The MK23 looks, feels, weighs, and functions just like a real firearm, but is built for casual recreation rather than weaponized use. In fact, the only way you can typically tell a real-steel firearm from an airsoft gun is the blazing orange tip and the BBs that fire when you pull the trigger. The pistol--which offers a velocity of 310 to 320 fps when using 0.12-gram BBs and 220 to 240 fps with 0.2-gram BBs--includes a fake silencer.
Specifications:
- Velocity: 310 to 320 fps with 0.12g BBs and 220 to 240 fps with 0.2g BBs
- Length: 9.5 inches with fake silencer
- Weight: 1.3 pounds
- Magazine capacity: 25 rounds
- Firing mode: Manual cocking
- Safety: Yes
