Trigger Pull: The trigger pull for the KWC blowback single-action pistols is very good. The Desert Eagle is a bit better with less play and a lighter pull.

Accuracy: I shot from 20 feet out in semi semi-rested position. I was able to place 10 rounds in a 2.5 to 3 inch group and both guns shot well centered. I have full confidence that I could easily hit a man-sized target from 50 feet away. It got right around 400 fps (5-shot average chrony testing).

Build Quality: The build quality is a metal slide and barrel with a polymer frame and plastic grips. The Desert Eagle used metal for the magazine release and trigger. I found the metal-on-metal areas on the Desert Eagle were losing the paint and also in some of the high spots. Over all, it worked very well and had a good fit and finish.

Realism: The KWC Desert Eagle .50 is an accurate replica of its real steel counterparts and has full licensing on it for added authenticity. The workings are pretty much just like a real gun with a full-size drop-out magazine and very heavy full blowback operation. The slides give a nice metallic sound when operating.

Pros:

  • Lots of metal and good overall weight
  • Very heavy blowback
  • Good fit and finish.
  • Excellent fps.
  • Good accuracy
  • Very believable replica of the real steel version

Cons:

  • Paint wear in high spots is noticeable
  • Non-adjustable sights
  • Goes through CO2 fast.

Comments:  It's wonderful to get this here in Canada finally and have the ability to review them for everyone. It reminds me a lot of the 4.5mm Steel BB blowback pistols very much and this is probably because there are Airsoft versions of these guns also distributed by KWC. Whether you want one of these very nice Airsoft pistols for plinking and target practice or to use in battle on the Airsoft field, it would make a great choice.

Desert eagle .50 cal airsoft blowback pistol

There was one small thing I was concerned about an that was the switch for the safety. It was really tough to move I loosened the screw a bit so that it would actually move easier but I ended up losing and breaking one of the little spring mechanisms that help hold it in place. I was able to salvage one of the springs and fix it myself. So overall I'm really happy with the product. I just wish I didn't have that scare in the first place. Thought my airsoft gun was gonna be stuck in safety mode forever. Anyways just thought there could have been a little more instruction or maybe have the piece flow a little better. Other than that small factor I'm really happy with the gun. Fires great, the sights are accurate, and I got a couple pages of targets for free. Overall very happy with this company.

amazing gun very realistic

weight and kick makes it feel very realistic when on the shooting. I would recommend something smaller and lighter for actual airsoft but this definitely looks very cool.

CQB Handcannon

Great desert eagle replica. Accuracy isnt the best at range but about 40-50 feet it shoots straight with hopup adjusted. It hits quite hard. I am getting 3 magazines out of one co2 cartridge even though this gun has insane recoil. The speedloader provided works great. The frame is pretty good but there is a little rattle in the back of the slide. Very easy to strip and lubricate/clean.

Great looking guns

Hard for me to give a complete evaluation as I purchased two of these for my grandsons. The look is really good. These are heavy and big guns. They will go well in anyone's collection. I am really impressed. I gave a 5 for accuracy because of previous KWC guns I tried.
