The Anics A-101 Magnum

CO2 Semiautomatic BB (4.5mm)

15 shot pistol

A British consumer's assessment

An example of the pistol's accuracy

Weather conditions       68 f  , no wind

Range 240 inches (6.096 metres) (I only have a small garden )

CO2 cylinder had already shot 15 shots

The BB's were Copperhead which were taken randomly from a new pack . Before firing they were inspected and DO NOT seem to be of a very high quality . There were pits in most of them and when compared with a set of lead 4.5mm BB's were found to be undersized .

I will try later with some engineering precision BB's as the pistol manual does state :

"Recommended BB's:Use only high grade steel BB's".

The pistol was clamped into a stable engineers vice and was fired rapidly 6 times .

Whilst the purest's amongst you may be horrified with this lack of accuracy , for the enemies of tin cans everywhere this pistol is more than adequate .
