Trigger Pull:

The trigger pull on the KWC DE L6 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is single action only which means you will need to rack the slide to not only draw the hammer back but to also chamber the first round. After that the blowback action will do this for you until you are out of ammo and then the slide will lock back. You can also manually draw the hammer back if a round is already chambered. The trigger itself is really nice, it’s light, super short with a crisp light release perfect for fast action shooting.

Accuracy:

Starting off with our Chronograph test, the KWC DE L6 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback Full Auto Airsoft Pistol was able to get a 5 shot average of 392 fps with the fasters round hitting 400 fps and the slowest Airsoft BB recording 387 fps. Again we were using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s and the indoor temperature was around 20 degrees Celsius which is close to 70 degree Fahrenheit for reference so so the KWC DE L6 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback Full Auto Airsoft Pistol performed even better than the claimed on the box 380 fps. Moving on to the accuracy portion of our Field Test Test for the KWC DE L6 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback Full Auto Airsoft Pistol, we carefully placed 10 rounds into our fresh paper target and was a bit dissapoitned in the rather spread out group we got. We feel like this is because of the high fps and lighter choice of Airosft BB we used for this test. When shooting a gun with higher fps it is best to use heavier Airsoft BB’s at least when it comes to accuracy as they won’t get that beach ball effect of floating around so much. We did also shoot the KWC DE L6 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback Full Auto Airsoft Pistol in Full auto which does rock around a lot because of the heavy blowback recoil and as expected BB’s kind of went all over but if we were shooting at a human sized target from that range we aare sure most rounds would have found their intended target.

Build Quality:

Overall the metal and plastic build quality of the KWC DE L6 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is good. It is mostly metal with a plastic frame, the real steel version would have an aluminum frame and has a weight closer to 4 pounds total so a bit lighter in terms of weight compared to the powder burning version. The fit and finishes look good.

Realism:

The KWC DE L6 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is an excellent Replica Airsoft version of the real steel L6 Desert Eagle including the top and bottom rails and the ported front barrel. It also has full blowback action and you can fully field strip it. We like the addition of the fingered grips which we think adds ot the overall looks and function of this Airsoft Pistol.

Pros:

• Lots of metal and good overall weight to it.
• Very accurate replica of Desert Eagle L6.
• Ergonomic rubberized grips.
• Semi and full auto selectable.
• Adjustable hop-up.
• No orange tip.
• CO2 for more power over GBB.
• Uses standard KWC CO2 Desert Eagle magazines.
• Picatinny rail top and bottom for lots of accessory mounting options.
• Great light weight single action only trigger with super short take-up.

Cons:

• Frame is plastic so compared to real steel version is much lighter.
• Non adjustable sights, also all black so may be hard to see on darker targets.
• No trademarks since non-licensed version via KWC direct.
• Very large gun with large grips so not suitable for smaller handed shooters.

Comments:

Going off just the looks and feel for the KWC DE L6 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback Full Auto Airsoft Pistol we can say for sure we do like it compared to the standard KWC Desert Eagle with its venting up front and its ergonomic rubberized grips. We hope when we will perform the Field Test Shooting Video for it, it performs well as the price point is good at around $200 Canadian and who doesn't want to have a Desert Eagle in their Replica Airgun collection at the end of the day!
