Cybergun - KWC Tanfoglio Witness 1911 CO2 BB Gun Review

[SeaRag123]

@switching Great gun! how much does this run?

[RKiveProductions]

This pistol is nice, but at my local gun shop they said that after a while this pistol will start to fault, but whilst it lasts its really good. Good value for money and real attention to detail. Also @switching to mac could you possibly stock and review the crossman 357 air pellet gun?

[SeaRag123]

how much does this gun run?

[mjndblain]

can this be shipped to canada? if it can i will buy

[switchingtomac]

@mjndblain We have a warehouse in Canada that we ship from so yes!

[rmarzella85]

@switchingtomac can you do a video of a g 16 bb gun

[switchingtomac]

@rmarzella85 Are you talking about the Glock Airsoft gun? Here in Canada we are limited as to what we can get in All metal Airsoft pistols. Will have to see what becomes available to me?

[rmarzella85]

@switchingtomac yes thats what i am talking about

[silentLvLlokotex3]

Can you tell me witch hand gun has good power to it and uses a co2 and still looks good and with a good price ??

[switchingtomac]

@silentLvLlokotex3 Check out the Umarex SA177 and HPP. and also the ASG Duty One 1911, they have a bit more power then the Cybergun Blowbacks.

[oldskooldancemusic1]

I sent mine back (in the uk) because of the co2 leaking problem, came back fixed, lasted about 3 mags, then broke again!

[switchingtomac]

@oldskooldancemusic1 The valve is the biggest problem that the Cybergun bb guns have, most are OK but that is the main problem.

[EvanFriesen7]

@switchingtomac

Is this gun 150$ AFTER you discount $20 or is it $150 and THEN discount $20?

Please answer ASAP thanks

[switchingtomac]

@EvanFriesen7 It was $169 and not it's $149.

[EvanFriesen7]

@switchingtomac

Is this gun 150$ - 20$ or is it 170$ and NOW it's $150 after the - $20? Is it $20 off $150 or is it $150 after you take off the $20?

Please help ASAP

[Rairyujin]

Can I use copperhead bbs with it? They don't have any other kind for sale where I live(vancouver,bc) that I know of

[switchingtomac]

@Rairyujin Sure you can, you can also try an Army & Navy" for the Daisy Zinc coated BB's.

[pa93mw2]

I ordered this gun on your website en february 14 and I still havent got it. I didnt obtain my tracking number as I was supposed to neither. Did you guys forget my order or are you just hardcore busy?

[switchingtomac]

@pa93mw2 We did not forget about you - Right now this gun is on pre-order with a savings of $20 because we are out of stock. As soon as they come in stock they go back up to regular price. We will send you a tracking number as once we get them back in stock and we ship yours out to you. If you check your order confirmation you will see it listed as "Tanfoglio Witness 1911 A1 Blowback (Pre-Order-Special - Save $20)"

[Rairyujin]

Oh god, I want this but I haz no monies, why can't I pause reality

[switchingtomac]

@Rairyujin That really sucks because this gun can pause reality, I did not mention it as being a key feature! Catch 22!

[EnhanceDrew]

i'm sort of debating on whether or not i should get this or the tokyo marui 1911, ones bb and ones airsoft and they both look like very good quality guns, please help.

[switchingtomac]

@EnhanceDrew I can't say too much about the Tokyo Maui? Never had one to date. I think you need to decide if you want Airsoft or 4.5mm Steel BB.

[jtl19961]

i live on vancouver island b.c. if i ordered this gun from your website, about how long would it take to ship do u think?

[switchingtomac]

@jtl19961 A few days to process and about 4-5 days to ship from Ontario.

[DarkyTheKiller]

between the tanfolio witness, the sig sauer x five and the cybergun gsg witch on would you buy... and also if you can make a vid about conceal carry for your guns... thnx

[switchingtomac]

@DarkyTheKiller I have been asked this question hundreds and hundreds of times and the answer really comes down to your owen personal preference. All these guns have pretty much the same build quality, design and specifications. You need to do is pick the one you think is the style of gun you like best and that is different for everyone. In Canada we are not allowed to conceal carry, even an Air gun can land you in trouble.

[nysk8r247]

Alright thanks so much. Love your reviews. Keep up the great work

[nysk8r247]

By any chance do you kno how rough the sand paper was?

[switchingtomac]

@nysk8r247 No, but I would not go too rough and at the end you need to go down to a very fine sandpaper and wet sand it, then polish it.

[nysk8r247]

Great review. Im looking foward to buying this gun when its back in stock. I do have one question, say i wanted to give this a stainless steel look. Do i sand it down? If i do would it be dull looking? Could i polish it? Thanks

[switchingtomac]

@nysk8r247 Some people have sanded and to used paint remover (can only be used on metal parts) and then they polish the metal and the finish comes out like a mirror. I have not done this myself.

[PhillzTV]

Fantastic review. One question though what do you mean by single action only? I'm used to revolvers so do you mean you were cocking the hammer each time? Cause that wouldn't make sense on a blow back.

[switchingtomac]

@PhillzTV @PhillzTV You need to rack the slide first to load a BB into the breach and also cock the hammer back. You could de-cock the hammer but then you would have to re-cock it before you can shoot

[switchingtomac]

@PhillzTV @PhillzTV When you shoot this gun the blowback action makes the slide cycle back and re-cock the hammer automatically hence the semi-auto status.

[Themadbomber187]

I live in Alberta Canada do you mail it their, and if so ow much?

[switchingtomac]

@Themadbomber187 Yes we do ship to Alberta, we ship from Toronto in Canada, we are out of stock right now but have it on a pre-sale deal and you save $20.

[hh15england]

@switchingtomac, could you strip it down and sand it back to the silver color ? If so would it be hard ?

Unless tanfoglio makes a silver version ?

[switchingtomac]

@hh15england I have not done any stripping and polishing of the guns, but I have seen the work from others who have and they usually look great!

[RyanColl99]

Nice review man and if you like airsoft vist my channel if you like

[switchingtomac]

@RyanColl99 Thanks - just getting into the Airsoft guns.

[RyanColl99]

@switchingtomac Yeah Same here

[EnhanceDrew]

do you think this gun will be in stock before march by any chance?

[switchingtomac]

@EnhanceDrew It's hard to say for sure?

[cadwarrior]

This gun is pretty cool, high blowback kick, incredible realistic, can have 60 strong shot + 10 weak shots with one co2 powerlet. I only put 10 rounds by mag, this allow the powerlet to re-heat up between reloading. Nice review!

[switchingtomac]

@cadwarrior Thanks - good advice!

[Themadbomber187]

how much is this gun going for at the store?

[switchingtomac]

@Themadbomber187 R U in Can or US?

[LozzaTurbo]

Great review thank you. The next best thing I guess to the real thing....

[switchingtomac]

@LozzaTurbo Sometimes they are better depending on what you are doing with it. There is much less danger praticeing with one of these and other then less recoil the gun operates almost exactly like the real steel version. And you can shoot it in your basement or back yard.

[LozzaTurbo]

@switchingtomac I totally agree. I'm ex military so quite familiar with the real thing, we used the H&K USP ad the Sig P226 as issues. Firearm laws in NZ are quite strict sometimes so adding to the collection can be difficult... Looking at something to shot around the back yard right now.

[switchingtomac]

@LozzaTurbo These guns are perfect of simulating the real gun!

[LozzaTurbo]

@switchingtomac Just watching your H&K USP review right now... :)

[switchingtomac]

@LozzaTurbo The USP is nice but does not have blowback and only has a plastic slide in North America, I believe it has a metal slide in the UK?

[LozzaTurbo]

@switchingtomac Yea the blow back is very cool for a BB, yet I also like the longer lasting Co2 factor with non blow back..? The USP looks very good, I like the full mag.

[abisoxth]

really beautiful and actually for a good price in your website. I don't know if I can ship it to Colombia, but if I have green light, I hope you have one in stock when I pre order it.

[switchingtomac]

@abisoxth We just ship within Canada and the US at this time.

[funnyfunnySHIT12345]

Can I use green gas mags for this gun, or is it just co2?

[switchingtomac]

@funnyfunnySHIT12345 This one is just CO2.

[randomusername987]

Would you say this is the most realistic 1911 bbgun atm?

[switchingtomac]

@randomusername987 For the true 1911 style - yes!

[the7chuck]

@switchingtomac i'm torn between this gun and the asg dan wesson 6 inch silver. which one would you say is better fun to use? the realism is awesome for both. but the asg has the fps!

[switchingtomac]

@the7chuck Both are fun, I kind of lie the blowback guns for fun factor but loading up the Dan Wesson shells makes the revolver a fun gun to shoot too!

[the7chuck]

@switchingtomac thanks for the reply :) if you had to decide which was a better gun overall?

[pa93mw2]

when you ship guns to canada, is there a danger of them being intercepted in the shipping process? Or do the guns always come through?

[switchingtomac]

@pa93mw2 When shipping to Canada, we ship from Canada as the warehouse is in Canada. We just started shipping within the US from a US based warehouse so no cross boarder shipping.

[KloNen60]

Is this gun the same as KWC Colt M1911 A1 CO2? And what would you chose between this gun and STI Duty One Blowback?

[switchingtomac]

@KloNen60 I can't say for sure but they may be based on the same gun? I really like them both, the Tanfoglio for its realism and the STI for its power and CO2 usage.

[airgunfan1999]

@ cadwarrior can you tell me where you buy the daisy BBs?

[powergrounhog1]

is it cheap metal

[switchingtomac]

@powergrounhog1 It's not going to be the same metal a real gun is made out of but it has good weight and does the job.

[cadwarrior]

Can you send me the link to your store for buying Daisy Zinc plated bb's .177, thanks!

[switchingtomac]

@cadwarrior I don't sell them yet in Canada, just in the US based store.

[cadwarrior]

@switchingtomac

ok thanks anyway!, I just found a place in canada where they sell them.

[Hetrich1]

If you have to choose between this Tanfoglio and the Sig Sauer P226 X-Five, wich one would you choose?

Thank you for your answer!!

[switchingtomac]

@Hetrich1 I would just get them both, I would not have to choose ;) It really comes down to what style of gun you like the look of as they are mechanically very similar.

[Themadbomber187]

Can you ship to Alberta?

[switchingtomac]

@Themadbomber187 YEs sire we ship from Canada and the US depending on which of our stores you order from..

[HDWisteria]

Can you ship to Sweden?

[switchingtomac]

@HDWisteria Sorry, just Canada and the US

[cadwarrior]

Do you put some pellgun oil onto the top of the co2 bottle before insert?

[switchingtomac]

@cadwarrior Yes I do on all of them.

[airgunfan1999]

can you reuse the BBs that are in the trap? Or would it deform upon impact like pellets?

[switchingtomac]

@airgunfan1999 I would just by new ones and not take any chances, they are pretty cheap to buy.

[Herfster]

This is legal in canada?

[switchingtomac]

@Herfster Yes the 4.5mm steel BB version is legal in Canada

[rougecards]

Since this is built by KWC, do you think this could fire plastic airsoft bb's?

[switchingtomac]

@rougecards There is an Airsoft version but not so easy to get in Canada.

[cadwarrior]

I have a full bottle of crosman copperhead 4.5mm bb's (6000), can i have some issue with then in that gun? Thx for your quick answer by the way!

[switchingtomac]

@cadwarrior They should work fine, they are just not as smooth and they tend to leave some copper dust residue behind.

[cadwarrior]

Wich brand of bb's do you recommand for this gun?

[switchingtomac]

@cadwarrior I really like the Daisy Zinc platted BB's

[RamboSnake73]

Hey Everyones , Thumbs UP if you liked this video and if you purchased this awesome model !

mine is on the way...

[CrazyRapSkillzzZ]

you made me buy one! damn you

[switchingtomac]

@CrazyRapSkillzzZ Sorry ;)

[cadwarrior]

If you insert an empty mag (no bb) and you pull back the slide, will the slide lock back like the real gun?, does the slide lock back on the last round?

[switchingtomac]

@cadwarrior Yes and yes.

[777CarFan]

thanks for responding and i'll think about it

[ninja6kid]

Is it pot metal or steel? Is it magnetic? looking to get one and satin polish it but pot metal oxidises to dark grey

[switchingtomac]

@ninja6kid Most airguns are made out of Pot Metal, there is no real need for them to be made out of steel as there are no high pressures with airguns.

[777CarFan]

And where (from where) do you get some more of the 4.5 MM metal BB's that come with the gun

[switchingtomac]

@777CarFan There is a small box of BB's that comes with the gun, you can get more at most sporting goods stores that sell airguns.

[777CarFan]

Where did you get your Cybergun- KWC Tanfoglio Witness 1911 CO2 BB Gun from and how much did it cost?

[switchingtomac]

@777CarFan I sell them in my online store, they sell for around $150 in Canada.

[RamboSnake73]

I leave in quebec,Canada

its possible to ship 1x New Package to me here if I send my payment via my confirmed paypal account ?

[switchingtomac]

@RamboSnake73 You can order products from my website, I ship across Canada and the US.

[RamboSnake73]

@switchingtomac this baby can shot metal bbs ?

[switchingtomac]

@RamboSnake73 Yes this one shoots 4.5mm shell BB's.

[starkey1356]

just got this pistol for £72 and im loving it. only thing is, the slide release is quite stiff when theres a magazine in, much stiffer than when the gun is empty.

[freejrs]

@starkey1356 Not on mine. Must be a problem on yours.

[starkey1356]

@freejrs not a massive issue either way, only stiff if the magazines empty, if its full its perfect.

[freejrs]

@starkey1356 Oh right.........I've never dropped the slide on an empty mag so I haven't experienced that before. Usually I just release the empty mag.......release the slide gently and then decock the hammer.

[starkey1356]

@freejrs took a closer look and it just gets caught on the edges of the mag, so yeah il just start taking the mag out from now on

[phen0mX4]

@switchingtomac After I disassembled mine I found a little notch inside the barrel, I guess it must be the Hopup/Spinup. So it appears to me that the 4,5mm version does have a Hopup wich is not adjustable. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Btw. thanks for your videos they are the reason why I bought this very nice gun.

[switchingtomac]

@phen0mX4 I'm not really sure? I have heard people say yes and no?

[FraterAeternus93]

cheers for these reviews. you're into airsoft now

[switchingtomac]

@FraterAeternus93 Well at least on Airsoft review under my belt :)

[normansrc]

would u rather have this or the asg dan wesson 2.5 inch revolver

[switchingtomac]

@normansrc Both ;) Why do you think I have so many guns, I can't narrow it down to just a few...

[switchingtomac]

@muzzlepuncher7 Glad it all worked out ;)

[Joez86]

Wonderful review.

[switchingtomac]

@Joez86 Thanks!

[switchingtomac]

@muzzlepuncher7 You could have a valve problem? Have you been using any kind of airgun oil on the tip of each magazine?

[switchingtomac]

@muzzlepuncher7 I'm not sure what a G.I. issue one would go for. The Norinco 1911 is a nice gun and I have heard that many pro shooters use it as a base for their modified 1911's. I have several Norinco pistols and they have all been very reliable.

[switchingtomac]

@Freelancer1375 You're welcome!

[ellundemm]

there is no chance to get this sweety in germany...i`m crying

[switchingtomac]

@ellundemm I'm pretty sure you should be able to get it somewhere win Germany?

[switchingtomac]

@MrTheStultis Cost for their one is about $150 in Canada, cost for real one is at least 4 times that.

[switchingtomac]

@Freelancer1375 Yours is the plastic non-blowback version, a very different gun, just has a similar name.

[RickRuKuS]

this is my favorite pistol of all time. Its a true classic gun. I'm wondering if there is a a way to get one shipped to Germany.

[switchingtomac]

@RickRuKuS I am pretty sure it is available in Germany?

[MackEffects]

You should do another contest for one of these! Im going to subscribe so I can see when/if your going to do one!

[switchingtomac]

@MackEffects I hope to do a contest in the near future...

[beezonskis]

Cool

[spike3453]

Slow Motion 11:30

Crono&Target 9:10

[switchingtomac]

@Freelancer1375 No it is not!

[ju99aloMCL]

could you possibly help a poor fella out and give me one?

[zanuha]

@ju99aloMCL

._.

[TheTommygunguy]

i cant find anywhere to buy it with us dollars

[vilsburg]

hmmm i have the non blowback version and mine goes to 395 fps 

[switchingtomac]

@vilsburg Is yours mostly plastic and has a double action trigger? If so it's a very different gun.

[vilsburg]

@switchingtomac

It's all plastic but nothing special with the trigger

[switchingtomac]

@vilsburg The one in this video is an almost all metal gun with blowback, full size drop out metal magazine, working grip safety and a single action trigger, just like the real 1911 A1.

[vilsburg]

@switchingtomac

Yea i am aware of that :) but i thought that one would be stronger then the non blowback gun

[switchingtomac]

@vilsburg Yes the plastic one has more fps.

[Awayagher030]

@switchingtomac does an real magazine fit in it?

[switchingtomac]

@Awayagher030 I kind of doubt it but maybe?

[PeaseWait4TheBeep]

Do u have trouble pulling down the magazine lever to put in the bb's?

[switchingtomac]

@PeaseWait4TheBeep The spring is tight so it does take some effort.

[PeaseWait4TheBeep]

@switchingtomac it will get worn out and therefore easier right?

[switchingtomac]

@PeaseWait4TheBeep Leave the magazine full of BB's and it will weaken it a bit over time.

[PeaseWait4TheBeep]

@switchingtomac thanks for the help man

[TheCarlsonsRaiders]

Just ordered mine today. Thanks for the great review, the user-friendly webstore, and the price match so I could get it for the best price. Appreciate everything Mike.

[switchingtomac]

@TheCarlsonsRaiders No problem!

[mikelagaffe]

@TheCarlsonsRaiders well it isnt the same thing when you live in quebec...the lowest price for a metal gbb is 220 $ (canadian), without shipping...

[switchingtomac]

@muzzlepuncher7 Yes!

[noviomagnum]

Is this gun made in 6mm as well

[switchingtomac]

@noviomagnum I think it is but it has a different name?

[Sequellbellhelmel]

very nice gun, especially since I was lucky enough to order the plastic version, and get the full metal blowback one for the price of the plastic one

[ikarneev]

Yeahh, great gun.

[TheCarlsonsRaiders]

This video sold me on the gun.

[switchingtomac]

@TheCarlsonsRaiders :)

[noviomagnum]

Yes thank you.

[switchingtomac]

@muzzlepuncher7 Thanks for the info!

[noviomagnum]

What is the problem with loading ?

[switchingtomac]

@noviomagnum No problem just takes a bit of time.

[noonerbernerd]

@switchingtomac If you hold the magazine follower right down you can pour them in where it usually locks up on the magazine. Good video, I too got just under 3 magazines before it ran out of gas. Great gun!

[switchingtomac]

@noonerbernerd Thanks for the tip!

[switchingtomac]

@muzzlepuncher7 Yes Cybergun did a great job on this one!

[PursuedDuke]

Hey switch

[JPOC226]

What would you recommend to do if you wanted to get rid of the instructions on the right side of the slide. Since I'd probably use it for a prop gun.

[switchingtomac]

@JPOC226 Maybe try to find a felt pen with a similar color and use this to tone it down.

[rickis96]

Beautiful gun... honestly, I would rather get a very realistic pistol (Like this one) than a cheesy electric rifle or something ANY DAY. I'm just a pistol kinda guy, not sure why.

Can't wait till I'm old enough to get a job, I'll finally be able to afford some decent airsoft guns ^-^
