Well Webley CO2 Gel Blaster Review

2021-10-15

The British Webley MKVI revolver is considered to be one of the best military revolvers in history. It represents the highest level of revolver design at that time. It was used in both world wars and was once one of the favorite weapons of the soldiers of the Commonwealth and the Allies. Weapons.

Left and right view of Webley MKVI revolver. It uses a 152mm barrel, which is the best performance in the Webley series of revolvers.

The Webley MKVI revolver is the highest-level improved version of the 0.455-inch Webley series of military revolvers. Through many improvements, the gun's structural design is extremely sturdy, equipped with a 152mm barrel, and the bottom of the grip on the earlier model has been replaced from a bird's head shape to a square shape. In addition, both in terms of structure and appearance, the Webley MKVI revolver has a number of minor changes compared to the Webley MKV revolver. Although the Webley MKVI revolver was only launched after the outbreak of World War I, the British army announced that it had chosen the gun as the standard allotment pistol for the British army. It takes time to speed up the production of new guns to meet the needs of the war. The outbreak and rapid spread of World War I did not allow Webley & Sons sufficient preparation time. Therefore, although the Webley MKVI revolver was selected as the standard weapon, the Webley MkIV and MKV revolvers were also extensively used in World War I. , Even after the armistice of World War I, these two pistols continued to serve in the British army for a long time.

After the successful development of the Webley MKVI revolver, many practical accessories have been introduced to match the gun, including the Pulido quick reload. The design of the loader is very clever, and it adopts a retractable metal plate structure, which can be filled with 6 rounds of bullets in the runner magazine at once. There is also a detachable bayonet, which was designed by Captain Arthur Pritchard and has a very chilling appearance. Although it seems weird to distribute bayonets for revolvers, the bayonets are still favored by a small group of people, and a small batch has been produced. Nowadays, in the collection market, the original Pritchard bayonet is already very precious, but there have also been some modern imitations and old fakes on the market.

After the Webley MKVI revolver was allotted, it was used quite effectively in trench warfare, and its 0.455-inch bullet had a good stopping effect, and it was widely welcomed by the British army until it was replaced by the smaller and more powerful Enfield No. 1 in 1927. Replaced by 2 MkII revolvers. However, after the British military replaced the standard pistol, many officers did not immediately abandon the Webley MKVI revolver, but continued to use it until World War II, which was also the biggest reward for the gun.

 As the first gbb gel blaster revolver, the well M5 Gel Blaster brought us back to the era of World War I.
 The vintage shape and the folded design of the bullet nest seem to tell the history of this century ago.

The box is more concise. If it weren't for the “Wilt” trademark in the upper left corner, I would rather believe that this product should be a model sold abroad. Laugh in brackets.

On the back of the box are some instructions

On the side is the toy model

Opening the box is first an operation guide and a technical inspection report

You can contact zhenduo for the full manual book images if you need it!

Don't worry, let's take a look at the package, one body, one ejector, and one bottle of 134A gas.

Let's take a look at the body. In fact, I have always had doubts about the ergonomics of the grip designed during the First World War, but in fact, it is quite comfortable to hold after the hand.

Transparent girl heart wheel, remember not to play Russian roulette.

The imitation wood grain grip is not bad

Right side of the main body

The mid-fold design is to release the lock according to the door

Metal shell casings, the gel balls are put into the shells

The shells are metal made

Remove the spring wheel and look from the back to the front. Above is the inner tube and below is the wheel slot. You can see the pop-up hook inside.

There is a rear seat shield plate on the rear side of the magazine. According to the data, it is used to prevent bullets from being shaken out of the rear of the magazine when excited.

Look at the rear crank lever and hammer from the side

When the hammer is pressed down, the elastic wheel lever rises to the top. At this time, the wheel will rotate in a slot.

Dismantle the bomb wheel first, just unscrew it, and this is all the parts

Take a look at the hinge of the mid-fold structure.

When the mid-folding structure is opened, the fixing latch will withstand the wheel buckle

When the wheel buckle is folded to the end, it is liberated. At this time, you can take down the wheel. It seems that there is a difference between the real iron and this one. I don't know if it is a design difference or something.

The left half of the grip can be opened through the groove at the bottom of the grip

Inside is the location of the air chamber. This air chamber caused a lot of controversy when it was released. So will there be a situation that everyone is worried about? I will specify it later.

The original position of the fixing screw at the bottom is hollow and an inflatable hole is made

Unscrew the fixing screws

You can take out the golden air chamber

The bottom is an inflatable hole and the top is just a hole

There is an air inlet at the interface at the top of the gun body.

Disassembly requires the hinge shaft to be removed first.

Unscrew the right screw.

Pull out the shaft.

Then you can take it out

The barrel part of the hinge can be taken out of the magazine and the hook can be popped out

Unscrew the two screws to remove the spring wheel buckle

The inner tube is fixed by a dowel.

Take off the fixing dowel and pull out the inner tube group backwards

The inner tube is pushed back by a spring so that the rear end of the inner tube is as close as possible to the shell case to ensure air tightness.

The length of the inner tube is about 15CM, with the outer tube basically restores the 152mm iron barrel.

Below we dismantle the middle body action mechanism part

First take off the two screws of the sights

Then carefully push back flatly

 

Take off three screws on the other side of webley

You can open the cover on the left half of the surface

Carefully take the hammer kits out upwards, pay attention to the position of the spring

Take off the cylinder fixing

Pull the trigger group up. Then Pull out the cylinder lever and pay attention to the position of the spring

All that's left is to take out the valve kit upward

Take a close-up of the air intake of the valve and you can see that although the air inlet of the CO2 structure is used, the needle used to pierce the gas canister at the air inlet is flattened and cannot be opened to the canister. This prohibits the possibility of copying from the source. This is the real anti-copy design.

Remove the airtight rubber first, then use steel valve key. If you want to do things right, you must use it. For players, this kind of tool is still worth spending some money to buy a better one.

After twist it out, you can see the standard CO2 valve structure

The whole valve parts that have been separted. The gas enters from the brass guard ring hole and exits forward through the hole at the rear end of the intermediate air needle.

Overall picture after dissembly

To sum up

 Although the the wheel is taking out by folding the blaster instead of a swing-out wheel, it restores the classic image of the revolver.

It undoubtedly gave everyone a new hope on the market as it's a gas powered pistol.

If this modified version can come out, will there be more models that can meet players in the form of crazy modification in the future?

Maybe the price of this wheel and accessories now makes players feel a bit beyond expectations.

However, we have reason to believe that sooner or later, the door of Wargame Angela, which meets the national conditions, will be opened to all enthusiasts with the joint efforts of merchants and players.
