Knight’s Armament PDW 8” STD Submachine Gun Replica
The replica is made entirely from metal elements with the
exception of polymer pistol grip and steel flash hider. It is compact-sized,
which makes it great for CQB operations. The stock can be folded to the side,
which additionally reduces the replica’s size and simplifies its transport.
Mid-cap STANAG magazine has a capacity of up to 120 BBs.
The usage is made more accessible by double-sided fire
mode selector and magazine release button. In addition, the replica is equipped
with a Bolt-Catch system that keeps in place the pulled dust cover after
pulling the charging handle until the mechanism is released via a lever on the
receiver. Such solution of the dust cover locking system simplifies usage of
the new model of Hop-Up system, whose adjustment is much more precise than that
of earlier models.
Hand guard features RIS 22mm rails that enable the
attachment of additional accessories and the top Picatinny
rail enables the attachment of a wide array of accessories and sights. The
battery is stored in the mock AN/PEQ-15 laser sight included in the set.
ATTENTION!
The set does not include a battery or a charger.
The set includes:
- submachine gun replica
- magazine
- User’s manual
- mock AN/PEQ-15 laser sight
NiCd
rechargeable battery is characterized by high efficiency
current-carrying capacity, but there are disruptive effect on memory.
Should be unloaded and loaded in the full cycle, ie, it is recommended
to fully discharge, and after unloading must charge the battery
immediately without leaving it for a long time in a discharged state.
NiMH batteries have a higher self-discharge over time and shorten the
life - on the other hand, they earn about 30% more capacity.
Blow back is a simulation system of the cocking lever - it imitates the work of it as the equivalent sharp. This system raises the realism and adds a lot more experience during shooting.
It is the spped of bb, while its leaving the innerbarrel of replica. This speed is measured in FPS (Feet Per Second).
1 FPS = 0,3 m/s
1 J = 99 m/s
1 J = 326,7 FPS
Indications v2, v3, v6 does not mean the level of advance, but only shape of gearbox skeleton which was used and selected by the manufacturer depending on the capabilities of the body of the replica. For example, a models of the M4/M16 family, MP5, have a v2 gearbox, while the AK family have gearbox v3.
Hop-Up system is used for overclocking bb during the shot (putting it in rotation), through which, it extends its flight path. Acting laws of physics make that bb lift up, while the gravitational force take it down. Appropriate adjustment of Hop-Up, will compensate for these two factors, which result in long and straight flight for longer distance and be greater focus shot (to improve accuracy).
