Thought I would show some pictures of this very interesting pistol before it sells. (The all black one already has a new owner who is one of our forum members). Few facts about the RS pistol. The design offers a high hold, low bore axis for reducing felt recoil. The grip has a very unique pattern which offers a very secure hold. Here’s the real steel   Here’s the airsoft versions, practically identical externally and very, very similar internally, but it is a fully licensed training weapon endorsed by the RS manufacturers.     |

Certainly a very interesting pistol. I’ve sold off my gas guns now apart from one which I’m keeping. Was using the Herstal FN45 yesterday with Vorsk V8 gas in 24 degC ambient. Punching great holes, tight groups and accuracy. What a difference from the winter months. Think the Nuprol 4.0 Black might be a tad too much in these warm conditions.

The Vorsk gasses are a good new product. I have used the V6 and V8, will buy some V12 next time I make up an order. Never used the Nuprol 4, have got some Guarder black gas which is a Co2 equivalent. |

I do like the archon. Sits very low in the hand and really nice build.
You not selling the FNX45 capt? That's next on my list I think if nothing else comes up.

Can you use the Vorsk V8 & V12 in any gas Airsoft gun? |

Can you use the Vorsk V8 & V12 in any gas Airsoft gun? It is down to the blowback nozzle and the materials used for the gun. For example the Archon above could use a very powerful gas, but it’s risking damage to repeatedly do it. All plastic airsoft guns are best with 144A gas. If the gun is designed to shoot Co2 as well you can be confident that it will accept any kind of gas. The majority of airsoft guns work best with a green gas, (like V6), if it’s a pistol with say a steel slide you will need a more powerful gas (V8) or if it has a strong nozzle then V12 gas or something similar. |

Where did you get the Olight from? Do the batteries last a decent amount of time? Would you recommend? Silencer looks nice on there too. That's the TM 16mm one? |

Thanks Capt. I think this one has been this price for a little bit on defcon. I had a look when Doug put one up for sale. I think FDE suits the FNX45 well. |

Got Doug’s Archon the other day, and I must say I’m impressed. Lovely gun, holds really nicely, much better than a Glock!
