[Set] R615-1 TTI Sand Viper (upgraded version) [JAG Arms] + Standard Performance Green Gas 500ml [Nimrod]

Sehr zufrieden!
Das Nimrod Green Gas überzeugt durch gleichmäßigen Druck und zuverlässige Leistung. Es sorgt für konstante Schussergebnisse und funktioniert auch bei kühleren Temperaturen einwandfrei. Außerdem ist das Ventil dicht und die Flasche lässt sich leicht handhaben. Klare Empfehlung für jeden Airsoft-Spieler!

For an "upgraded version" i expected better quality, but i guess fancy CNC machined slide aside, Army Armament really haven't progressed much, quality wise.
1st issue - The slide stop it came with fails to lock back the slide. The funny thing is the same slide stop works fine in other hi-capas i own. Their slide stops also work fine in the Sand Viper, so who knows what went wrong there. But its annoying, because if i want a working lockback, i have to tolerate the color mismatch, and the primary reason i even got that pistol is the color.
2nd issue - that absolutely awful optics plate, and the way it mounts to the slide. Its cast pot metal, its uneven, it fits poorly to the slide, and it wobbles side to side. The screw holes came pre-stripped from the factory, since it screws directly into the blowback housing, which is made from the softest possible zinc alloy. There is a better solution out there, the R615D blowback housing and plate - but it sacrifices durability and performance.
No screws for the plate were provided in the box, and it uses m3 - 0.5 metric thread, so good luck finding them in any regular store - had to order in bulk from a specialized tool and instrument retailer - as opposed to regular imperial thread torx which you can buy from any gun shop that also sells real optics.
Seeing that the Combat Master Alpha and the incoming TTI x Ballerina Viper also use the very same plate system kinda soured me on the thought of buying them for my collection.
The funny part is, Army Armament makes a much better sturdier solution for the Staccato's they make for EMG/6mm Pro Shop, why don't just reuse that for your own high end releases?
3rd point, the trigger out of the box is the heaviest, stiffest thing i have ever experienced on an airsoft pistol. With a lot of dry fire and experimenting with the overtravel screw, it loosened up a bit, but it is still a far cry from my Jag Arms Pit Viper or Staccato. Replacing the leaf spring seems to be the only solution, but that also requires a lot of fidgeting and its beyond simple field disassembly.
4th point - The slide to frame fit is somehow much looser than my not-upgraded pot metal slide Pit Viper, which is a shame, because otherwise the CNC machined slide is absolutely beautiful.

What a unique replica. Jag Arms knows how to build a replica! The trigger is so good compared to other triggers. The colour looks very good in person and its build very tight and precise. If you're looking for a unique piece in you collection this might be the one!!!

Great Airsoft pistol ,well made.
I've not shoot with it, because I have to send it back because I feel to big in may hand :(
But maybe for some people who has bigger hand for sure will for for them.

Very, very premium high capa. Very good cycling through BB’, green and red gas no problem.
Went with the optics because it doesn’t have iron sights, and this thing shoots very straight. Nothing but praise to this replica.

Un excellent pistolet tant dans la finition que dans la fluidité mécanique

If you like to have a 2011 replica airsoft gun this one is the one to get! Nice and smooth Top gun to own I love it to shoot in the garden whit a red/green dot make this gun compleet

Very good quality and sturdy build feels like you’re holding a real piece, feels nice to shoot and accurate, the maintenance is easy and the mag is high quality, at the game people always come to me and ask about the gun.

Buying this one once again, it's certainly the best choice out there for green gas. Affordable, high quality, will keep your gun internals lubricated. Excellent performance, efficient, arrived without an issue once again.

Nimrod's 500ml Standard Performance Green Gas is top-notch, delivering consistent power for GBB airsoft guns with a reliable propane mix. Its silicone oil lubricates parts, ensuring smooth blowback and durability even in cooler weather. The compact canister’s precision nozzle fills magazines cleanly, powering hundreds of shots without leaks. Perfect for my TTI JW4 Pit Viper, it’s a must-have for peak performance.

Pure workmanship. Very smooth operation. OOTB performance is fair. Might do well with the suggested barrel and hop-up upgrade.

Hop-up is a bit difficult to settle, as you need to remove the upper part from the body. It's not hard, it's just that other manufacturers have found ways to do this without dissassembling the product.

One of the most beautiful pistols available on the market. I can't stop looking at it! The grip is fantastic even if it stings a little but rubbing a little with the nails improves. A red dot is mandatory because it has no notches.

I was never a Hicapa fan until I bought the Sand Viper based primarily on its looks. Holy moly this pistol is a beauty, the cnc finished slide is stunning with its polished highlights, its cycles so smoothly, the hand stippled grip feels great and not uncomfortable. It feels solid with a good weight and very little rattle.Another bonus is the steel fire group, hammer sear, disconnector etc, having these upgrades from the factory saves you time and money. Gun shoots with a sharp and snappy action, accuracy is on par with a TM Hicapa with upgrades. Overall a beautiful collectors piece at an incredibly affordable price, plus it can also hold its own on the battlefield 100% recommended, don’t forget to grab an RMR. Thanks Taiwangun, great service as usual

Excellente réplique pour le prix. Très performante en sortie de boîte. Les matériaux ont l'air solides, aucune fuite aux chargeurs. Bref, à posséder absolument !
Et avec une lampe couleur tan : un look d'enfer !

This gun has got me confused. It is a very beautiful gun, many people ask about it. The shooting is snappy, trigger pulls smoothly. The grip is really nice and is grippy, I would recommend to wear gloves when shooting though.

My gun did come with minor decorative defects (inner barrel was scratched), the outer coating also does scratch relatively easy, as only after one game putting the gun in my holster did leave scratch marks. The outer barrel is not fixed, so it has wiggle.

Also be very careful when buying a red dot, as the plate is RMR footprint, so make sure that the red dot you are buying is compatible.

It's the most good looking airsoft pistol that I ever saw. And it's good for bigger range too not for just indoor activities. The pistol grip is very good and 100% it will not slip out from your hand. And it's good that the magazine can't fall down accidentally because of the button is more out and.

Very nice , is looking very good , is handling very good , shooting also very good , very precise also and quick response at trigger , good material . Came in time , in good condition, nice packed , is a good replica , worth it all the money
