New to airsoft? Here are some safety tips for airsoft guns that we recommend following.

The WE MEU is the best looking full metal 1911 WE has ever produced. The blow back action is operated by high pressure gas, such as green gas, red gas, or propane. The sights function by lining up the white dot on the front sight between the white dots on each side of the rear sight. The functional grip safety and ambidextrous thumb safety make its operation safe for all users. Numerous other features include forward cocking serrations, improved trigger, and an attachment point for a retention lanyard. The reinforced metal parts include outer barrel, chamber, recoil spring rod, slide stop, safety, hammer, and trigger. The internal upgrade parts include reinforced recoil spring, hammer spring, firing pin, and a extreme high flow valve. Due to its high velocity, it consumes just as much gas as a SUV =) and rapid fire might hinder its optimum performance.

Product Information:
This gun was supposedly full metal. It isn't it has a plastic slide with metal parts. It pissed me off to learn I was supposed to get a Full metal gun but instead I got a half plastic half metal. The gun doesn't hold BB"s when pointed down. The trigger was supposed to be metal and it is flimsy lightweight plastic. I love the gun and the kick and sound it makes. I love the look but I wish it was a bit better and was ACTUALLY METAL!!!

Pros:
- Shoots well
- Retains a lot of gas
- The rubber grip feels awesome
- The orange tip is removable
- The kick

Cons:
- The gun jams... Alot no matter how much Lubrication!
- The trigger is plastic
- Slide is plastic
- Magazine catch sometimes doesn't hold the magazine 9easily fixed by screwing the magazine release tighter)
- The weight is more distributed to the back of the slide sometimes not allowing the slide to go back
- The hammer gets stuck not allowing the slide to go forward all the way

Product Information:
I got this gun a year or two ago and loved it. It is in fact full metal and feels great in the hand. I saw a review where the guy said the slide was plastic which is obviously wrong, I don't know what that guy was on but the slide doesn't feel anything like plastic. The gun was great at first but isn't incredibly sturdy, the recoil spring could be a lot stiffer. The left handed safety broke two days in which kinda sucks even though I'm right handed, the right handed safety still works though. I took it apart after the safety broke and found out the left handed safety switch works by turning the right handed switch using a tiny male to female triangle piece made of terribly cheap metal. The gun is pretty accurate for a $90 gun. The wheel you use to adjust the hop up is loose so it goes back after a few shots which I hate, I fixed the problem by taking apart the hop up wheel and putting it back together with a piece of paper to keep it tight. I now cannot adjust the hop up without taking it apart. I love the grip and sights but they need to change that safety and hop up.

Pros:
Full metal. Accurate. Feels great in hand. Easy to clean and field strip.

Cons:
Left handed safety broke. Screws come loose easily. Not exactly sturdy. Cheap metal.

Product Information:
Purchased this expecting a reliable side arm due to good reviews and was very disappointed.

-After about a day of use the slide began to seize so badly that I could not fire more than 3 or 4 shots without the gun failing.

++The problem was that a rubber gasket had been dislodged from its correct place inside the receiver somehow and was jamming the slide. I took it apart and fixed it and the gun worked fine for a few days

-Next the the inner barrel broke away from the outer barrel inside the slide and this obviously causes the gun to jam after every shot naturally rendering it unusable.
++The problem here is poor design.
The piece that holds the inner barrel to the outer barrel is made of a brittle plastic that appears to have shattered under normal use (When I took the gun apart to find out why it was jamming little plastic bits fell out of it and the screw that holds it in was floating around.) The piece (WE 1911 / Hi-capa Series Airsoft GBB Pistol Part #71 - Hopup Part #71) was missing so you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what happened here. I did not drop it or handle it roughly. I was using it normally and eventually it seized. I unjammed it and it seized again as a result of this problem.

When it was working I noticed that it did not perform well at all under sustained fire. Firing more than a clip successively would render the gun useless until it rested (warmed up a bit) as the firing pin would stick and expel all of the gas from your magazine from one pull of the trigger. This problem I could overlook and just fired more conservatively if the gun hadn't completely failed on me due to a 10 cent piece of plastic that could have been made of metal for a few extra bucks.


Overall it was nice while it worked. It kicked hard and fired accurately, while it worked.
So if you're looking for a gun you can have some fun with and open up shooting at cans or whatever, this is definitely not the gun for you.
Also if you're looking for a gun that won't fall apart this probably isn't the gun for you either.

Pros:
Accurate
Kicks hard
Metal
*This section requires 30 characters too bad there aren't enough good things to say about this gun.*

Cons:
Not metal where it counts so it broke.
Firing pin sticks and expels all the gas from your mags from 1 shot after extended use
The weapons basically disintegrates after about a week.
Leaky mags that also fall apart (Bottom falls out)
 
Alternate Magazines
Green gas isn't the most efficient method here in Connecticut, would this gun also be able to run using certain CO2 magazines?
