WA SV INFINITY 3.9"
 

Well, where to start... This is probably one of the most amazing airsoft GBB's you will ever come across. The realism and "wow" factor are incredible. 

     To begin, this gun was purchased from Airsoft Atlanta, and I have personally owned and used the gun for about 3-4 months now. It served as a sidearm ( 4 kills ) at OSC:II and is my sidearm at every local game I attend. This being said, lets get to it.

Realism

     Having shot a real SV Infinity, I can honestly say I have some experience with this gun. This one is extremely detailed, and though there are some things I have noticed that are different on the real gun, this one does not suffer at all in the realism category. The trigger is removable and replaceable with the real SVI triggers, as is the hammer, and possibly the slide.. I will get back to you guys on that one though. The front sight is interchangeable with the real steel as is the mag release, mag well, slide release, and I have heard that the grip safety and thumb safety lever are as well. On the chromed part of the slide (reverse side of center photo) where the shells eject, you can see clearly " Infinity .45 ACP" and the inscription on both sides of the slide clearly read INFINITY.

Usablilty

     Ok, let me start by telling you my qualifications for reviewing this. I have personally shot and used probably one of every brand of M9 that is made, a KWC Desert Eagle, GBB Browning, Infinity 5", P99, Omega 93R, and the list goes on. After using these, I cry when I think about losing this guy. 

     The Infinity is most likely one of the most solid GBB's I've ever held. The slide action is smooth, controlled, and has a great charging sound to it. Plastic is limited on this gun to some mag components, the grips, and the outer barrel assembly. (Not the orange) 

     DO NOT forget to pull down the small tab on the back on the slide before filling the mag. If you do not do this, the gas goes in the bottom and out the top. 

How does it Shoot ?

     This gun shoots very reliably, and very hard considering the gas it uses. There is however one small problem with the gun in this respect. When you pop off more than 2-4 shots in a row, they start to curve up. I'm guessing this is due to the fact that the gun is getting cold and shooting " hot " effectively increasing the hop up. I could be way off, I don't know, but it is a problem. If you keep your shots controlled, the gun is very accurate. 

     The gun takes about 5 seconds to fully fill with 134 gas. The gun gets about 3 clips of BB's per fill if you don't go crazy on the trigger. I have found .25's work the best in the gun, but a few friends use .2's without a problem.

Durability Issues

     A few things to note that get on my nerves... If you carry the gun in a holster and it gets vibrated or tossed around, the silver tube under the outer barrel unscrews itself and moves out of the front of the gun, you must constantly screw it in. You could Loctite it, but it will be difficult to get the inner barrel assembly out later. Also, the front sight is easy to move, and I actually lost mine at OSC:II. The Allen keys that hold the valve to the mag, and the rear sight to the slide also like to work themselves loose. I have tried to torque them on, and I even tried a bit of Loctite. The Loctite works, but again, you limit your disassembly options.

     Always double check the Allen key that holds the valve together in the back, if it moves away at all, it will hinder the clip from entering\exiting the magwell.

IMO Results

     Overall, this gun is a beautiful weapon, a reliable sidearm, and, if taken care of, it will last you a long time, and keep you happy. If you are looking for a sweet sidearm that will get you kills AND looks, this is the way to go. If you can afford the hefty price tag, this gun is for you.
