WinGun 401 (Colt Defender) Air Pistol — A Reliable Choice for Beginners
WinGun 401 is an easy-to-use and budget-friendly air pistol designed for those new to shooting and training. The device is powered by common 12-gram CO2 cartridges; one cartridge is sufficient for approximately 60 shots of 4.5mm steel BBs with a consistent muzzle velocity of ~120 m/s, making it convenient for rapid-fire shooting and skill development.
The pistol's body is made of durable ABS plastic, resistant to everyday damage, while the slide/frame is metal, adding reliability and a realistic feel to the construction. The grip is made of plastic and provides comfortable handling during training.
For ease of use, the CO2 cartridge is installed under the grip cover, and a 15-BB capacity magazine is integrated into the body, allowing for extended shooting sessions without frequent reloads. The pistol is not equipped with a blowback function, making it more economical to maintain and resulting in less intense recoil.
Functional Features
A 22mm Weaver/Picatinny rail is located under the barrel, allowing for the installation of various accessories — under-barrel flashlights, lasers, and other devices to improve aiming. The safety is mechanical (manual), located on the side, preventing accidental discharge and increasing safety during storage and transport. Sights include a rear sight and a front sight.
