Airsoft Core |

Well I finally got tired of carrying my MP5K on my back when I would go play airsoft and since I upgraded my M16 it was now more than ever important to get a small sidearm. I did a little research and ran across the M93R and its 3 shot burst. I have been a fan of the 1911 and M9 models for a while and was going to end up with one or the other and the M93 fit right in those lines.
I chose the KWA version on 3 points. 1. I got a discount on it, 2. It was a version with true 3 shot burst, 3. The version 2 had a metal slide and took Green Gas.
Well after waiting for my order to come in I finally received it. I started pulling stuff out of the package to run into this:
I wasn't too impressed but then again I wasn't disappointed since this is about the same box I've seen most pistols come in.
I opened it up and basked in the awesomeness and massiveness of the contents.
I immediately put all the parts and manual to the side and pulled the monster out. I didn't quite expect it to be so big, but since I am 6'4" it really isn't too disproportional. Next I took out the mag and had a look. It was equally as massive as the pistol itself.
I then looked at the tools inside and found a weird looking wrench which I soon discovered was the hop up adjustment tool. This really excited me since all the other pistols Ive played with had hop ups that were adjusted by taking the slide off.
Well after seeing that everything else was just the normal stuff like bbs, a loading rod, a mag filling adapter, and a spare hop up adjustment tool, I decided to gas it up and see what it shot like.
Well after filling one of the mags up with gas and bbs, slid the mag in, set the selector to semi, cocked the pistol, and flipped off the safety. The pistol shot great with nice kick and very little gas spray. I quickly found that you had to slide the mag out to adjust the hopup with was a minor inconvenience compared to taking the slide all the way off. After getting it set right I have to admit it was on of the most accurate pistols I had shot. I then switched it to three shot burst. Wow that was nice. It was truly setup so that it would fire three a trigger pull but if let off of during a cycle would stop. This would be even better than the dedicated 3 shot that would waste bbs if I hit the target in the first shots. The cycle was fast but not so fast that it would waste a lot of ammo if used a lot.
I then found that half way between semi and three shot was a full auto. This was mind blowing. It doubled the fire rate and kicked back so quickly I had a hard time shooting single handedly and staying on target. The pistol also got super chilled during full auto bursts due to the constant flow of green gas coming out of the pistol.
This is by far the best pistol I have shot yet. It kicked a good strong kick without over doing it. It shot further than my MP5K and was just as accurate while still being 1/2 the size.
I also ordered a second mag with it so that in total I would have 2 38 round mags. If I couldn't get my business done with 76 rounds I might as well have backed off and tried to use my rifle.
When I was messing with both mags I found out that after the mag catches when its empty you could slide in the full mag and the slide would return. This was amazing in that I could almost have the second mag loaded after it emptied the first and never skip a beat on semi-auto. I also found that though awkward the front grip did increase the accuracy on 3-shot and full auto.
Pros: semi/3-shot/full capabilities, heavy weight, slide return after reload, accurate as an SMG, more range than an MP5K, and realistic breakdown.
Cons: Size, heavy weight, mags freezing on auto and 3-shot overuse, cost, and its hard to find holsters.
Conclusion: If you like big pistols or can handle an MP5K single handedly and want full auto or 3 shot burst the M93R is for you. There isn't an option for a silencer and it has a nice muzzle report, but I can live with that since most of the shots from it will be in cases where it will be over about as soon as it starts.
Rating:
Construction: 8 out of 10 ( no trades, not full metal, but really nice all the same)
Functionality: 9 out of 10 ( the mags freeze about 3/4 way through the mag on full auto and repetitive 3 shot bursts)
Gas Usage: 5 out of 10 ( shoots every round in the mag if not frozen, but goes through some gas)
Price: 6 out of 10 ( great for a compact sidearm but close enough to an MP5K to make it questionable)
Packaging: 8 out of 10 (came packaged very securely with targets on the back but not a hard case)
Overall: 8 out of 10
I don't really mind it using gas and since I already have an MP5K it was well worth the value in the compact size (compared to an SMG) and ability.
