[02406 / SDWEM45WRB5]		 $120.00

I gave this gun a 4/5 because even I was surprised at the gas consumption, even knowing how bad it would be going into the purchase. It's that bad. I have a propane adapter, however, so it doesnt bother me one bit. All the rest, the weight, size, feel, blowback and accuracy are great!

For those that don't know, this IS the WE 1911 Government, but with better internals (supposedly) and a Caspian slide instead. I do WW2/Nam airsofting probably 5% of the entire time on the field, so I'm not overly concerned about it. As for why the plain WE 1911A1 is rated so well and this so poorly... I have no idea.

In a standing, unsupported position with the wind blowing cross-wise (i.e. normal conditions... who plays airsoft in 70 degrees with 0 wind in a basement?) I was able to hit a tree slightly thinner than your average geared-out 'softer FAIRLY consistently at 90 ft. Any closer than that, say, 75ft, and you would be on target each time, pretty much guaranteed.

This gun also comes with just 1 mag, unlike its vanilla counterpart. Not worth the fancy trades, in my opinion. The only thing I would be worried about is longevity - but I have owned and used 4 different brands of GBBs, and they all break down over time. People are always the harshest on the new kid.

This gun, or the other variations by WE are highly recommended by me - I have been playing airsoft since late 2002. I am also an amateur airsmith being slowly taught by the Buffalo, NY area's master airsmith.

Also - for first-time buyers or casual browsers - ASGI is the place to go to buy airsoft equipment. I had a slight problem with this order, I had actually ordered the vanilla 1911 from WE and recieved this, (with only 1 mag). I called up Tim at customer service, and in less than a minute, Time had me taken care of with a polite tone and a mag shipped to me. Best customer service I have ever had in my time playing the sport.
