I find the majority of airsoft handguns don't have an easy access hop up but thanks for the info I will look into those.I have 4 pistols and they all need to have the slide removed in order to adjust the hop up.I always thought that this was a stupid design.You have to remove the slide then adjust the hop up,put the slide back on test fire the gun and if you're not happy you have to do the same steps over again.Makes no sense really but what do I know.
Also, I believe the safeties of the P8 and USP being reversed is due to the previous duty pistol they transitioned from having that arrangement. Every other USP model (to my knowledge) has the safe position at the top.
When you mentioned about removing mag for hop up addjustment. The other good thing your doing is showing proper gun handling for the kids who watch your videos. Member safety first!
I'm a bit late to the party but I think I have an idea on what the two-handed "tactical" chokehold on the pistol is for: I think it's protecting against being disarmed. The grip prevents someone trying to ambush you from easily grabbing/twisting the gun out of your hands and also prevents them from reaching into the trigger unit. Also one of the wisdoms of CQC is to keep your weapon as close to your body as possible for exactly this reason. Another advantage is that you can move into a two handed firing stance very quickly with this grip as well, feel free to try it out and you will soon see that it is faster than grabbing your pistol from the holster. Hope I could help and greetings from Germany. :)
Actually that's not the real reason. Im a german military officer and that's my main weapon, just to give some background for what im saying. This position he's holding the gun is called the "waiting stance". There are a few reasons to when to go into that stance. The reason is that you suspect danger to be around you. It's like the first escalation with next beeing the "contact stance" wich is holding your weapon out beeing ready to instantly snap to a target. The second reason is if you want to move around with your gun out. The stance and grip makes sure that you don't aim onto your mates while looking behind you for example. The gun needs to be aiming to the ground, one meter infront of your feet. So actually a little bit further out than he does. If you have any question, tell me.
Yep, Centre Axis Relock. Used for very quick aiming in close quarters combat. Not sure of the guy who developed it was SAS though. I know he was British though (I believe he passed away a few years ago)
It’s Paul Castle who created centre axis relock, he was special forces then took to teaching police officers in the US. It’s designed for quick and close quarters combat and it’s what is used in the John wick films
Yeah it was a stupid gimmicky form of gun handling that mostly died out along with him. Only cult followers of his use it. A regular isoceles stance/two handed grip works just fine. If it aint broke dont fix it.
Looks like a good reliable sidearm, but I’m not a fan of the annoying rail system. Does it come with the ugly big adapter? Or can you simply not put a torch on it? Also, have you got your hands on the new VSC MP7 AEG Yet? Can’t wait for you to review that beauty👍🏻
Do some target aquisition practice starting from that holding position to pointing the handgun straight forward and you'll understand why they hold it that way in SB 😉
Honestly Mike, those trigger types are really trigger happy. I own a real Px4 Storm with the same trigger, and after the first pull, it gets really easy to mag dump. It's the hefty trigger pull that makes it so trigger happy. It's like it gets lighter after each shot.
That small square might just be a manufacturer's cartouche. That might also explain why they are different, they are specific to the facory/armory they are built in
Great! This version has also the german authorities markings. the antler is the sign of the Beschussamt in Ulm (city in Germany). Niiiiiiiiiiiicccceeeee! the german version of this airsoft does not have these markings :-( wrong world! does yours have the "F" marking? Regards Bruce
What you saw in Strike Back was some form of the Center Axis Relock method. It's a shooting system designed for CQC, invented by a former SWAT officer named Paul Castle. It's what John Wick uses in the movies. Link: ua-cam.com/video/RBBt0d_umXg/v-deo.html
Operators hold their guns in the double handed format you mentioned for better recoil control and so they don't accidentally put their finger on the trigger and shoot a round without meaning to so safety short answer
KWA and VFC are two different airsoft manufacturer from Taiwan, and as I know, KWA only has USP .45 and USP Compact, those are not like the 9mmX19 P8A1.
The slide is sadly way off. The higher up part on the bottom of the slide is a lot thicker than the real one, and that same higher up part also doesn't cut off at the barrel, like it does with the real one. It overall makes the replica look a lot less "tight" to me.
Do you know the weight it needs to pull the trigger? The original P8 hat 5kg, thats pretty much. I've seen a lot of female solideres struggle with the P8......
Hi bud a while ago you did a test on a cheap nock off of a devtac helmet, did you ever test what the durability of the mesh eyes wer like as I know someone who wants to get 1 even tho I showed him your review and was on about using the mesh eyes??
Any chance Airsoft Mike you could send me a patch because we are not allowed airsoft which really sucks I love your collection it is awesome and I enjoy all your stuff that you do you are very talented my friend
Just ordered one after seeing this review love it , can I ask mike we’re you get the gun racks from I could do with them as my collection is getting bigger
Hey i have a gas leak problem with the magazine on that replica can anyone give me any suggestions beacuse i tried everything i saw on the internet and nothing worked..
If anyone has ever been shot at close range by a BB gun thats gone off accidently with the mag in and BB's in they will understand there not toys and it actually does hurt like hell.
Nice video Mike, I've gotta be honest I've been ignorant about pistols as I've ALWAYS been a glock fan but you have started to turn my head with this. 😏 keep up the good work 👍
It is very cool I have an ACP 601 / ASR 101/ ACP ASK 204p I'm not supposed to have these in Australia but life is short and meant to be fun I love playing with them they are all awesome and I would love to have a collection like yours
One store I have visited says that it's compatible with VFC USP mags. I've sent them a query considering the information about it is divided, some stores claim there are dedicated p8a1 mags that fit, some don't.
I'm only here to hear Mike say: NICE! Haha, just kidding, I'm also here because I love the USP. Umarex has another USP from KWA, I know it because I own it, so I wonder what is that about... Seems like lately Umarex prefers VFC but I don't know anything about airsoft politics. And I also own the Marui USP9 and welll... I don't see how this P8A1 could be any better.
People say finger of the trigger 😂😂😂😂NO fraction of a second can RIP so controlling yourself you won’t die…Right now I can only handle GF76 500BBs and people hate it, wonder why….I have broken shoulder rh it hurts like 10/10 ,that’s how I ended with soft air and when I tell people to buy $40 Smart charger they think I am crazy,one mag NP GF76 aka U74 or Drako….Beer can 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 gone in a second
Excuse my ignorance, but does your government not have an issue with airsoft guns looking so realistic? I mean, I’m an yank with a real USP, and I’m not sure I’d be able to tell the difference unless I had it in my hands. Although maybe it’s less of an issue where you live since your police are less… trigger happy… 😬 Side note, I appreciate you advocating good gun safety even though it’s an airsoft. 👍
They're only permitted for use on registered airsoft fields. You also have to play at least 3 games outside of a period of 2 months to get your UKARA. Without a UKARA you're only legally permitted to purchase the 2 tone versions
Finally a pistol that has a hop up adjustment without having to remove the slide
Steve kokkinidis the G&G Gtp9 HopUp can also be adjusted without removing the slide. Check it out it’s pretty good gun!
Ksc/kwa Glock 17 doesnt require any slide removal either.
I find the majority of airsoft handguns don't have an easy access hop up but thanks for the info I will look into those.I have 4 pistols and they all need to have the slide removed in order to adjust the hop up.I always thought that this was a stupid design.You have to remove the slide then adjust the hop up,put the slide back on test fire the gun and if you're not happy you have to do the same steps over again.Makes no sense really but what do I know.

Beautiful gun and very cool details. Sill waiting for a good FN FAL GBB to come out...

The way they handle the pistols is called CAR, it was developed by a SAS officer I believe
Yep, Centre Axis Relock. Used for very quick aiming in close quarters combat. Not sure of the guy who developed it was SAS though. I know he was British though (I believe he passed away a few years ago)

Love your vids and the enthusiasm you have for the gear
That lower looks pretty real on the inside at a glance
Hi Mike , I got the umarex /kwa H&k .45 and it’s awesome. You need one for your collection
Hugh Jardon I think he has a video on that
Could I ask where you got it from?
Hey Mike, that’s a really great review! Can I ask you a question? What do you think about VFC H&K VP9 compared to P8A1? Thanks
Looks like a good reliable sidearm, but I’m not a fan of the annoying rail system. Does it come with the ugly big adapter? Or can you simply not put a torch on it?
Also, have you got your hands on the new VSC MP7 AEG Yet? Can’t wait for you to review that beauty👍🏻

More like inertia working on the parts

That was a very nice grouping well done mate

Looks like a repurposed KWA USP, which is a good thing! Curious to see if the slides are interchangeable.
KWA and VFC are two different airsoft manufacturer from Taiwan, and as I know, KWA only has USP .45 and USP Compact, those are not like the 9mmX19 P8A1.
The GSG9 Usp is the P12 So this is the Bundeswehr Variant i'm guessing
The P12 is the USP Expert .45 of the Bundeswehr.
But it's only used by the KSK and KSM and not by the GSG9
Hey Airsoft Mike I would love it if you could review the Evolution Airsoft EH04AR-A2! I wanna buy one and I'd love to see it in action.
Incredible gun, great video as always.
Strike Back is a great show
Great review!!
The slide is sadly way off. The higher up part on the bottom of the slide is a lot thicker than the real one, and that same higher up part also doesn't cut off at the barrel, like it does with the real one. It overall makes the replica look a lot less "tight" to me.

Awesome Mike 👍
I wanted to get the Tokyo Marui version, but that plastic trigger feel turned me away. I wonder how this would sound suppressed...
You gotta buy the Limited Edition, it came with a pencil.
👏👏👍👍👍 German guns are sweet
Gotta love the Germans 😎🇩🇪
adolf hittler
Hi bud a while ago you did a test on a cheap nock off of a devtac helmet, did you ever test what the durability of the mesh eyes wer like as I know someone who wants to get 1 even tho I showed him your review and was on about using the mesh eyes??
Some people like buying shoes, I like buying airsoft...
Some people like both
Looks like resident evil 4 handgun 🔥🤘🏽🆙💯
So the serial numbers on your slide and barrel are two different numbers? Hmm...
Hey mr airsoft Mike, do you know if you can use mk23 mags in this? If not do you know any pistol that takes mk23 mags? Thankyou
Any chance Airsoft Mike you could send me a patch because we are not allowed airsoft which really sucks I love your collection it is awesome and I enjoy all your stuff that you do you are very talented my friend
Just ordered one after seeing this review love it , can I ask mike we’re you get the gun racks from I could do with them as my collection is getting bigger

I have one but I don’t have backfire and it’s made of metal
Can you review the hg171b please
Hey i have a gas leak problem with the magazine on that replica can anyone give me any suggestions beacuse i tried everything i saw on the internet and nothing worked..
During my time in the German military, I got only handed out black magazines.
hi hows your day going
How much doe s it cost . I would love to have one.
If anyone has ever been shot at close range by a BB gun thats gone off accidently with the mag in and BB's in they will understand there not toys and it actually does hurt like hell.
put a silencer and it would match the sound
Would this work with the Cytac USP holster?
do a revew on the walther PPQ spring pistol
I love your presentation more than this pistol ~
Is this gun made out of plastic or metal?
Watch the video. You literally get your answer in under two minutes!
That slomo was siiick!
how tf did you cut the sticker PERFECT out?!
1) Time
2) Patience
3) Practice
or
1) Rubbing alcohol
ballsack, semen, r, and pizza
Nice video Mike, I've gotta be honest I've been ignorant about pistols as I've ALWAYS been a glock fan but you have started to turn my head with this. 😏 keep up the good work 👍
Where can I buy this gun?
This is exactly the pistol I need
Can you swap the stock vfc sights with the real firearm Usp sights?
I think that the HK is the Greatest pistol ever!
It is very cool I have an ACP 601 / ASR 101/ ACP ASK 204p I'm not supposed to have these in Australia but life is short and meant to be fun I love playing with them they are all awesome and I would love to have a collection like yours
does anyone here know if the USP mags are compatible with the P8A1?
One store I have visited says that it's compatible with VFC USP mags. I've sent them a query considering the information about it is divided, some stores claim there are dedicated p8a1 mags that fit, some don't.
I remember strike back😁
😂 I don’t even know where gun is😂 mine is CO2 .177 heavy AF so I went soft air
This is the GBB version right?
Why are you asking?
@@tangodown2989 why’s it a problem 😂
@@domyare6932 Because if he bothered to watch the video, he would see it is a GBB!!
Only 320fps???
07:26 it's an apple.
If you have trouble finding room for all those guns just send over a couple
I'm only here to hear Mike say: NICE! Haha, just kidding, I'm also here because I love the USP.
Umarex has another USP from KWA, I know it because I own it, so I wonder what is that about... Seems like lately Umarex prefers VFC but I don't know anything about airsoft politics.
And I also own the Marui USP9 and welll... I don't see how this P8A1 could be any better.
I like the usp one
This gun is perfect but the trigger looks so cheapp 😫😫
10th luv ur vids Mike I'm a glock fan too also working on something good for u
People say finger of the trigger 😂😂😂😂NO fraction of a second can RIP so controlling yourself you won’t die…Right now I can only handle GF76 500BBs and people hate it, wonder why….I have broken shoulder rh it hurts like 10/10 ,that’s how I ended with soft air and when I tell people to buy $40 Smart charger they think I am crazy,one mag NP GF76 aka U74 or Drako….Beer can 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 gone in a second

Wrong. It's the lighting, not completely different at all! Look carefully!
Excuse my ignorance, but does your government not have an issue with airsoft guns looking so realistic? I mean, I’m an yank with a real USP, and I’m not sure I’d be able to tell the difference unless I had it in my hands. Although maybe it’s less of an issue where you live since your police are less… trigger happy… 😬
Side note, I appreciate you advocating good gun safety even though it’s an airsoft. 👍
