When AirSplat had their "What the Buck II" deal, I couldn't resist. The deal was to buy $100 worth of stuff and get a WE F226 GBB pistol for $1. That's a full metal gas blowback (GBB) airsoft pistol for a buck! I jumped on the deal.
The pistol came in a plain brown box (see photo below). There are no markings nor design, making me wonder if this is a refurbished unit or something along that line.
Much like many computer accessories box, it has a flip-top box that is reuseable. So you can take the gun out and put it back in the box for storage.
The box contains the WE F226 pistol and the gas magazine in styrofoam packaging (see photo below). Instruction sheet is not included.
The WE F226 airsoft pistol has a double-action trigger. When you pull the trigger, it cocks the hammer and then releases the hammer. When there is no gas in the magazine or when the magazine is not inserted in the gun, there is only the hammer action. But once you fill the magazine with green gas, or propane, and then inserting it into the pistol, the action changes entirely.
With no BB's in the magazine, pulling the trigger when it is filled with gas cause the gun to fire with blowback. But the slide stay locked toward the back (see photos below).
On the other hand, if the magazine is filled with BB's, the BB if fired and the slide moves back into position. It's very similar to a real firearm.
The recoil is not terribly strong, but is definitely stronger than an airsoft electronic gun (AEG). The gun is fairly accurate even with the recoil. In semi-automatic mode, I have been able to empty the entire magazine as quickly as possible into a BB trap 20 feet away without missing.
