DIARY UPDATE

THE “GEN I” VORSK EU AND HI CAPA MODELS HAVE BEEN OUT ON THE MARKET A LITTLE WHILE NOW AND, AS PROMISED, BILL RETURNS TO HIS OWN HI CAPA 4.3 RDS AND

COMPILES HIS DIARY ENTRIES TO GIVE YOU ALL AN UPDATE

ON HOW THINGS ARE GOING NOW THAT THE PISTOL HAS SEEN SOME ACTION!

When I first shot the Vorsk Pistols with Ross some months back, I promised that I’d keep a running diary of how the two models, the EU18 and the Hi Capa 4.3 he provided for me for long-term testing fared over time and with regular use.

Luckily for me I have an Attack Sense Target System set up at my local shop, All Ages Airsoft in Dover, where I can go and shoot whatever the weather. I’ve set it up at the shop rather than at home or on my woodland range as that way all the local shooters can make use of, and benefit from, it - and it’s proving to be a real winner with everyone. Sadly this is now mothballed until we’re all allowed to reconvene…

I’m also lucky though that I have an outdoor 30m range that I use for all my testing in some private woodland owned by friends just 15 minutes walk away across country from my front door. So even during the current lockdown I am able to get there without meeting a soul along the way and, once I’m there it’s just me the dog and an airsoft gun for as long as I want to stay out. My “one a day” is put to best use of course!

On my regular visits to both ranges I’ve been taking along the Vorsk Hi Capa 4.3, so I’ve now been able to spend some “meaningful time” with it. Thus far it’s been out with me in all weather conditions, from frosty early mornings to some unexpectedly clement days where the sun has shone and the wind has stayed light. I managed to secure a couple of extra 28BB magazines for the pistol, so my belt is now all set up and a new holster made by Kydex Customs is locked in place. This has proved to be an excellent addition to my setup and Taig kindly set the holster up with a belt clip so that I can easily transfer it from belt to belt if I wish.

I’ve been running the Hi Capa on NUPROL 2.0 gas, using .25g RZR BBs and the chrono still settles well at 1.01 Joule/330fps with a .20g BB, with little variance from new. The pistol has now had 150 mags worth/4,2000 BBs down the barrel and to date I’ve experienced no issues other than the slide not locking back on empty on really, REALLY chilly mornings, which would vex any GBB of course!

Accuracy is actually getting better the more I run it, and at 10m I’m now down to regular 80mm groupings when I really try. Consistently at 10m it’s a breeze hitting a “Figure 11” each and every time, even when I’m on the move. Thus far the Vorsk Hi Capa 4.3 has proved to be an exemplary and wholly worthy sidekick and the RDS is even still running on the original battery!

I’ll update again in due course, but next for the diary will be an update on the Vorsk EU18 RDS… I’ve got myself a couple of extended mags to try in that one, which sounds like proper airsoft fun to me, so watch this space! AA
