soft air guns
soft air guns are 1/1 scale replicas of real guns of famous brands such as
Colt, Smith and Wesson, walther, UZI, KWC, Sig Sauer etc.
The models shot 6mm BB plastic bullets and intended for "plinking"
and general fun gunning. Users must wear safety goggles or mask protection.
Soft air guns are totally harmless if safety rules are respected.
- never aim at a person or animal
- keep out of reach of young children
- never use the gun in public places
An instruction manual is included inside each box, explaining the function of
the model and the safety rules to respect. All our KWC soft air guns are
certified ISO 9002.
The energy developed is 0.5 joule maximum, which equals the fall of a tennis
ball from 1 metre high. By comparison, the energy developed by funfair guns is
approximately 10 joules.
how to choose your ammunition
We off a choice of bullets as each air gun requires a specific weight and
make of bullets for optimum performance. Depending on the guns power and barrel.
The table below will assist you in choosing the most suitable ammunition for
your gun.

Terminology
spring
Spring operated only, cock each time by sliding top action.
hop up system
The hop up system is available in both spring and gas operated models.
The basic theory is spin! When the BB is fired there is a friction on the upper
side of the BB creating an upward spin. This offsets the effect of gravity, wind
power and air friction and pushes the BB to travel a longer distance. See graph
below.
Gas
Gas operated- fill with gas from an aerosol gas can into the magazine (some
models directly into the gun) and the gun can be operated semi-automatically
without the need to cock each time between shots.
gas blow back
As above but the sliding top action of the pistol/rifle flies back on
each shot thus giving a full recoil effect.
mini electric series
miniature rifles are powered by 4 AA batteries and can fire up to 80BB
shots fully automatically on one burst,
heavy weight
full electric rifles require an 8.4v battery and give a full auto
recoil effect when fired
