*Edit* The "Extremely high precision aluminium barrel makes shooting both accurate and consistent" makes me chuckle.

So its a NBB? If so count me in for one.

[r.ocelot]

TK clone?

[Rob15]

Doubt it, mag cap is different and the description makes it sound like a NBB.

[AliceHKfan]

sounds like old UHC NBB + threaded barrel, the end

[Pinkfloyd]

still a NBB, but probably not a clone of anything. I'm probably gonna get one so long as it's decently priced like the other UHC's were. I have experience with their other USP series, and they are really pretty nice for 40$ guns. They are cheap enough that you can replace them if need be, but they are really pretty good little guns. Very relyable, pretty accurate, and cheap as chips.

I was never too fond of mine. Had terrible leaking issues and when it would shoot it shot horribly. If it is the same old one... Beware.

I agree. When I first got mine it must've been shooting really hot because it was putting holes in plastic BB containers, then whenever I cocked the hammer a BB would roll out of the barrel, then the slide cracked in half for no apparent reason, and on top of all of that there was no hop up and the trigger pull was awful.

[Pinkfloyd]

Trigger pull WAS pretty bad, but for 40 bucks the gun was much better than any cheap LPEG or springer. I was getting somewhere close to 320 FPS when I first used mine, and it's shot that for about 8 months, and should provided you take care of it like any other pistol. The only thing that I know of that's a problem on them is the o rings wear out, but otherwise they are pretty good, especially for the price.

I sorta like my UHC USP. It's OK for the price. But the mags working is a hit or miss thing.

true but you can't complain for the price...

[Sledge]

Er, yeah you can. Buy the time you've broken two of them, you could have bought something half decent.

[Noodle_2000]

Yea, I think that for the price tag I'd settle with the Y&P. Price tag is about the same plus you get adjustable hop up.

It'd be more interesting if it had the appropriate sights and magazine plate, it's disappointing when they slap a silencer on a regular USP and say it's the Tactical model.

Have you even fired one of these Sledge?

[dismemberd]

He probably has.

[Noodle_2000]

Or you could settle with an AEP if you weren't too picky.

I'm taking issue with your point that they're cheap enough to treat as disposable. Now, everything I've read about these says they're fine for a while, but they will break. You don't seem to be disputing that. What you're saying is "Hey, it's not a problem, just buy another one." You are wrong, sir. Nosing round some American airsoft retailers, the HFC M190 plastic version goes for about $80, the metal for $100. So, buy the time you've broken two UHC USPs, you could have bought a plastic M190, or added another $20 (half a UHC) and bought a full metal one. So where's the argument for buying the UHC? It's not cheap if it's lifespan isn't the same as other pistols. You're not saving money. You're spending smaller amounts of money more often.

Had mine for a year, it's fine exept for one mag failing...

I know, and that's why I don't normally buy cheap guns on a whim.  I fired a friend's UHC and liked it enough to get one.  He had his for about 3 months and it preformed very well, so I decided to take a chance on it.  I don't have large amounts of disposable income like many players, so don't even talk to me about economics.  These gun's aren't a pile of steaming *beep* is my point.  You seem to be desperatly oposed to these because of their price and their lack of little features that "decent" guns have.  I don't have the money to buy a WA or a Tanaka on a whim, and this gun does the trick for me.  It's not fancy, but it works well enough for what I do.
