Pneumatic airsoft pistol Glock 17 from "WE"

Review of the Glok 17 WE air pistol

This model appeared en masse on the domestic market about a year and a half ago, and is already in full use among foreign players. The pistol is a fairly accurate replica of the original and differs only in modified inscriptions on the body. Recreating the appearance has made the model one of the most authentic airsoft pistols.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of the Glock 17 airsoft pistol from WE:

• high quality connection of moving parts, between which there is no play;
• reliability and realism of automation;
• high ambience of the model simulating a combat prototype;
• the possibility of frequent shooting due to the manufacturer’s refusal to use carbon dioxide in favor of Green gas cylinders.

Disadvantages of the pneumatic version of the Glock 17 pistol:

• lack of a mechanism for adjusting the sight (it is impossible to make adjustments if the quality of the factory zeroing is poor);

The pistol has a large and movable magazine release button, accidentally pressing it will cause it to fall out of the handle.

• decrease in efficiency at low operating temperatures (hydrocarbon components of green gas do not evaporate well at temperatures below 0 ºС).

Specifications

Technical characteristics of the Glok 17 WE air pistol:

Device

The pistol follows the classic style of the prototype, the design of which widely combines plastic components and parts. The combination of a polymer frame and a metal alloy shutter gives the model greater realism and ensures compliance with weight and size parameters. The plastic casing is shock-resistant and can withstand being dropped onto the floor from a waistband holster without visible deformation.

The barrel and body of the “hop-up”, which twists the ball, are made of metal, which virtually eliminates their wear during intensive use. The hop-up adjustment is carried out manually (with your fingers) and does not require the use of additional devices.

The barrel design includes an outer casing that reproduces the real dimensions of the weapon, and a brass liner to match the diameter of the balls used. The return spring is mounted on a metal axis and provides realistic action of the bolt.

Non-adjustable sights do not snag on clothing and allow you to quickly draw the pistol from a holster, pocket or belt. The bar for attaching the “body kit” is located in the lower front part (under the barrel) and can be used to mount a laser target designator or tactical flashlight.

The pistol is equipped with a “blowback” system that simulates the movement of the bolt during reloading and additionally shifts the aiming point (simulating recoil). At the end of firing, the bolt delay is activated, blocking the bolt in the rear position.

Near the bar for attaching additional sighting devices there is a permanent fuse, which is absent in the original version. An automatic safety device is built into the trigger and is triggered by finger pressure, blocking the trigger when the gun is not held tightly.

The trigger mechanism and magazine are also made of metal. All external and internal surfaces of the parts, with the exception of the brass barrel, are covered with bluing and do not give off unmasking reflections.

Description of the air pistol Umarex Glock 17 (GBB, Pellet, BB)

The Umarex Glock 17 air pistol (GBB, Pellet, BB) is presented as a full-size, precision-made copy of the combat prototype from the Glock company, which has been manufactured since 1982.
The pistol became famous due to its increased accuracy and loading capacity combined with its compact size. The filling of the product is built on a gas-cylinder device, which is characterized by increased speed and higher prices for structurally similar products. Shooting from such weapons is carried out using lead bullets of the same diameter.

The pistol has a semi-automatic firing mode, which is switched using a fuse mounted on the Weaver under-barrel rail for attaching accessories.

Shooting is also limited by a special trigger with a built-in safety, which increases the amount of force that the user must expend on pressing, thereby eliminating unplanned shots.

By the way, the speed at which ammunition flies out when fired from a Umarex Glock 17 air pistol (GBB, Pellet, BB) is 120 meters per second . This parameter is achieved due to the cooperative work of the gas used and the smooth barrel design.

It is worth noting that to power the design, the pistol requires replaceable 12 gram cartridges, which contain compressed air. The advantages of such fuel are the increase in the speed of flight of the bullet, as well as the rising price not exceeding 40 rubles.

The presence of a Blowback inside the structure is responsible for the movement of the bolt frame, which improves the shooting experience and increases the similarity with the firearm prototype, adding recoil. This technology is implemented thanks to gas exhaust tubes, which borrow part of the gas spent on the shot and redirect it to the propulsion mechanism.

The bullets are loaded into a magazine, the operating principle of which is based on replaceable drums that allow them to be reloaded with both steel balls and lead bullets. To increase the comfort of using the pistol, Umarex has added connectors for transporting additional magazines, which can be easily carried inside.

In addition, the magazine contains a compartment for a 12 gram gas cartridge. The tank is secured inside the magazine by a clamping screw, which is adjusted using a hexagon.

The dimensions of the sample do not exceed permissible standards, reaching 200 mm in length, the pistol has a mass of 817 grams. Such characteristics allow the product to be carried both in a bag and in a holster or pistol case.

Operating principle

The operation of the automation is ensured by using the pressure of liquefied gas, which has a high propane content. It contains a reduced concentration of less volatile butane and heavy components, which increases the rate of evaporation and pressure recovery after a shot. One gas charge is enough to fully fire three fully loaded magazines.

The ball is sent into the barrel and the hammer is cocked by moving the bolt, which must be manually cocked before the first shot. Pressing your finger over the entire area of ​​the trigger is guaranteed to turn off the built-in automatic safety.

Disassembly

Stages of partial disassembly of the Glock 17 model:

• magazine removal;
• cocking the shutter;
• pressing down the clamps located just above the trigger guard;
• removing the bolt casing with a confident movement forward;
• removing the barrel with a hop-up mechanism that can be cleaned and adjusted.

Disassembly of the trigger is usually carried out at service centers when replacing worn or broken parts. Considering the low loads during firing and the metal structure of the most critical components, serious malfunctions are a very rare occurrence.

Possible tuning (upgrade)

Fundamental tuning is limited by the manufacturer’s intention, which provides for the use of the model “as is.”

For owners of the Glok 17 airsoft pistol, we can recommend the following:

• Grind down (file) the magazine release button so that it is flush with the surface of the handle. This will allow you to remove the magazine only with targeted pressure and will prevent it from accidentally falling out;
• Raise the sight bar by placing a spacer underneath it. The impact area in many samples is initially below the aiming point and requires increasing the height of the rear sight for more accurate shooting. The gasket is cut out of plastic, the dimensions of which are selected experimentally, and is placed under the visible part of the bar.

The Glock 17 model from WE is an authentic and reliable replica of its combat counterpart, featuring trouble-free and stable operation at above-zero air temperatures. A significant magazine capacity with the possibility of increasing it allows minimizing recharge time. High bullet speed (90-100 m/s) increases shooting efficiency at a distance of 10-15 m, and imitation of automatic operation ensures maximum similarity of the model with its real prototype.
