Galaxy G.13 (Spring)

The benefit of spring powered replicas is that there are no batteries to charge, and no gas to run out of. In other words, they're ready for action when you are. Of course, this means that they are manually cocking, so you will have to cock the piston back for each and every shot. As a result, you have to be a little more mindful when using your replica, as if you fail to cock it fully, the piston may not be retracted, but their could be a BB loaded, so cocking it again will load another BB, which could jam/damage your replica.

If you are ever unsure, simply remove the magazine, and cock the gun to ensure the piston is back, point in a safe direction and pull the trigger. You now know the replica is clear, so you can re-insert the magazine, and get back to shooting.

Since these replicas are manually cocking, there is a little more effort required for each shot. For an easier time, it may be worth considering battery or gas operated replicas.

Galaxy are based in China, producing airsoft guns at the entry-level of the market, allowing people to see what airsoft is all about, and get to grips with the sport. From spring powered pistols, budget rifles, and even electric rifles (AEG's), Galaxy are an all-rounder manufacturer - internally they are solid, and their externals are "good enough", making them the go to for a massive chunk of the airsoft market, particularly when getting started.

Galaxy have been around for a long time, and understand the market extremely well; their MP5K was widely considered the best on the market, and this attitude and understanding prevailed, being leveraged in the development of their product lines.This spring pistol is a replica of the venerable 1911 - seen in film and TV (and video games) for decades! It's popularity hasn't waned, despite being over 100 years old...now that's staying power!

Constructed out of metal, this 1911 has the classic WWII styling - wood-effect grips, rounded hammer spring housing, and traditional sights

The magazine holds 16 BB's, and loading is easy - simply load up your magazine with BB's, and cock the slide back to shoot. As this pistol is spring powered, there is no gas or batteries to consider. Instead you have to pull the slide back for every shot.

Please note, as this is manually cocking, it is important to use high quality BB's, and never to re-use BB's. Using low quality, or already-used BB's will damage and break your gun.
