APS continue to release new products that they are immensely proud of to the community. Their latest model is full auto and CO2 powered, giving reliable power whatever the temperature, they’ve called her Black Hornet. Here’s the latest from Joe:
Black Hornet – First Full Auto Co2 Pistol made by APS
After a long period of development, a fully automatic GBB pistol named Black Hornet is now available in Q1 of 2017. Design and concept coming from current APS Co2 Pistol, this fully automatic Co2 pistol provides you fantastic blow back recoil in shooting. More specific details could be found at this following:
Steel Hammer
Hammer of this pistol is made by steel. APS understand this is an automatic pistol with rapid firing. So hammer in this pistol is reinforced to increase durability.
High Performance Co2 Powered
Black Hornet is powered by 12g Co2 canister which provides you high and stable shooting performance compare to other gas operated gun. Insert one Co2 canister allows you to fire up to 30 rounds in full automatic and shoot more than 46 rounds by normal temperature at 22 – 25°c. This pistol also gives you an average of 300 FPS and 500 RPM which is beyond comparison than any others Co2 Pistol.
Upside Down Cartridge Insertion Design
Unlike traditional Co2 Pistol in the market, our Black Hornet pistol has a unique upside down cartridge insertion design in the magazine. With this design, our magazine will act as a regulator, allowing Co2 flows within the magazine first before going to the chamber. This technology stablilze the Co2 pressure inside the mags, thus giving you a more stable shooting veloctiy on each shot.
Semi / Futo Auto Function controlled by switch
There is a switch that located on the left side of the slide showing you the firing mode. User could simply switch between Semi / Full Auto by pushing the switch either forward or backward.
Conversion to SMG
Black Hornet could be installed to our Caribe Conversion Kit. Player can easily transform this pistol into a sub machine gun in less than 30 second. No special tools are required. This pistol is 100% compatible with APS Caribe conversion kit.
To conclude, a fair quality pistol can be easily found in the market. But a good quality pistol is hard to get. The best quality pistol even never exists until Black Hornet is born. APS listen to players and make product for the players. As a Co2 Pistol with fully automatic function is barely seen in the market, we believe this Black Hornet Co2 Pistol would be widely accepted by Airsoft player.Best Regards, Joe Lau, New Product Development & Marketing Manager (APS Ltd)
