WE Biohazard M92 w/Compensator (Barry Burton) | FREE Delivery over €50 (ROI)

Pistols are generally used as a sidearm, or back up for your primary, however that doesn't mean that's all they can be used for. If action movies have taught us anything, it's that with a pistol, you're unstoppable! Smaller, more compact, and easier to use, pistols are a lot of fun, whether you're gaming every weekend, shooting targets out your back garden, or just like adding another awesome piece to your collection.

Blowback can be a confusing term - in effect, it means simulated recoil. In other words, it is more realistic, and as a result more fun! Airsoft guns will never achieve the same level of recoil as the real steel counterparts, however it will still put a smile on your face every time you pull the trigger. Due to the nature of the blowback systems, there are more parts, requiring a higher degree of maintenance to keep everything in tip-top shape, but the benefit is a more realsitic experience, and greater satisfaction with every shot!

This replica is powered by green gas, although the name is something of a misnomer. It's stored in the bottle (and magazine/pistol) as a liquid, and needs heat to turn into a gas. As you can imagine, each shot uses up the ambient heat, and the gun cools down. The colder it gets, the less efficiently it operates (this is called cool down). Practically speaking, it means you will cycle through the different pressures of gas based on the temperature/climate i.e. in the colder months, you'll likely use 150 PSI gas, in the summer you'll use green gas (or 110/120 PSI), and for the indeterminate weather conditions, most likely you will rely on 130 PSI.

Unsure what gas to use? Using lower pressure gas will not damage your replica in any way, so it is safer to start lower, and only move up a pressure class (i.e. from green gas to 130 PSI, or 130 PSI to 150 PSI) when the replica is not performing as expected.

To refill with gas, remember that it is actually a liquid, so you will need to have the pistol/magazine and gas bottle upside down to fill. Line up the fill nozzle with the fill valve, press and hold it into position and keep in place until full. Generally it takes about 10 seconds for a full fill, however larger magazines may take longer. For best results, fill up with gas when the magazine/pistol and gas bottle are cold, and warm up the magazine before use. This allows the gun to have more gas available, and increases the pressure inside the magazine.

WE are one of the more interesting manufacturers - they have a long history in the sport, and although they started off as a basic cloner of Tokyo Marui gear, they were always keen to go their own way. They were the first to market with a single stack 1911 GBB, although due to the small gas reservoir, and heavy slides, they were not without their problems. This gave them a reputation of being relatively poor, however over the years they have successfully shaken this off. From their integration with the HK3P factory, and producing some seriously impressive guns, they have continuously improved, becoming innovators in their own right, and offering genuine performance for remarkable value.

WE do not only make pistols, although that is their most popular line. They also create and develop their own in-house GBBR series, being one of the primary innovators in the space - they created GBBR replicas of the M4, M14, AK series, G36, MP7, MP5, MP5K, P90, PDW, and more! This drive to deliver great products, along with their stellar work as OEM's with other companies, has increased their quality tenfold, leading to them becoming one of the most popular airsoft brands on the market.

The Samurai Edge comes from the Resident Evil video game series, where the elite unit STARS (Special Tactics and Rescue Service) had customised M9 pistols made for them by a local gunsmith (Kendo Custom Shop).

Not all STARS members were created equal, and some got cooler guns than others! Enter Barry Burton - this guy lucks out with an M9, extended magazine, black grips (with red STARS emblem), compensator, and elongated tactical rail. 

In airsoft terms, it is an M9 type pistol, and this particular one is manufactured by WE. You have a full metal frame & slide assembly, giving superb and realistic weight to the gun. In addition, you have superb grips, complete with the STARS emblem helping set it apart from the rest of M9's out there!

Powered by green gas, this M9 still shares the same magazine design since the pistol first came out. Unfortunately that means that not much gas goes into the magazine, so you will have to compensate with the pressure of the gas used. In the summer time, we recommend 130 PSI, however once it gets to Winter you will have to switch to Nuprol 3.0 (or 150 PSI) to get the most out of your gun.
