ShadowWraith:
All good then
To try and answer your original question:
I know ASG mostly for their Evo Scorpion that got a lot of press recently, and otherwise by their "Dan Wesson" revolvers which are "obviously" rebrands of Wingun. So I cannot say anything regarding the quality of the Asg Duty One per se
If I would have to guess, I would say it probably is made by KWC or similar
It is advertised as being made in Taiwan (where KWC is) and KWC are the OEM of a lot of companies such as asg, so it would make sense
Found a review or two that (to me), doesn't make that particular pistol really appealing:
http://m.airsoftmegastore.com/Produc...asg-50021.aspx
This guy mention the mag being a stick mag. It works, but totally kill the realism in my opinion. Also state the fps which, as expected is very hot for a pistol if you intend using it in close quarters
This other one (
http://www.co2airguns.net/Collection...0One/index.htm) is about the pellet (1.77) version but it ought to be the same pistol anyways:
Here they mention that the blowback is just to cock the hammer, and will not reload a bb in the chamber. Reloading actually happens during the trigger pull. In my opinion, this is a deal breaker, but you might have a different idea about that.
Anyways, just thought I'd bring these facts to you so you can make a better informed decision, hopefully.
As far as what I would recommend. In terms of pistols, especially if you like the style of the duty One, is to go with Tokyo Marui HiCapa; it's literally the most polyvalent platform there is and the TM's are very reliable and accurate.
To give you an idea, I am currently rebuilding mine and tested it with .4g BB and reach about 175-200' (real feet, not a guesstimate that makes no sense), and this is with my hopup set to close to zero
If you find the TM pricey, there are the WE HiCapa that are not bad either and mostly compatible with TM parts
Beside that, you've got KWA/KSC that makes very solid pistols and are available at a very good price (I'd take a Kwa over any WE, but Kwa don't make the HiCapa). Their M9 and 1911 are great, especially in the PTP line.
Unfortunately, most of these pistols are not Co2 friendly (actually I don't think any co2 mags are available at all with these), but at least you're guaranteed not to have a too hot pistol
It's time to use these Co2 powerlets in land mines and claymore! :P
