Cybergun Auto Ordnance 1911 Squadron Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Grey
If you’re after a pistol with grit, heritage, and a serious nod to WWII history, the Cybergun Auto Ordnance 1911 “Squadron” GBB is a solid pick. This isn’t some sleek, high-polish showpiece—it’s a rugged, full-metal airsoft pistol that feels like it just got pulled off a fighter pilot’s hip. With a weathered gunmetal finish, engraved “Shark Mouth” nose art, and genuine wood grips, it captures that raw, combat-used aesthetic that history buffs and collectors will appreciate immediately.
Built in collaboration with Auto-Ordnance and Armourer Works, this officially licensed airsoft handgun replicates the classic M1911 down to the fine details. At a glance, it screams WWII fighter plane attitude, thanks to its iconic shark-mouth engraving on the slide—echoing the legendary nose art from air squadrons of the 1940s. That slightly worn patina across the body? It’s there on purpose, giving it the look of something that's actually been through the wringer. Add to that the “USA” markings and engraved American star symbol, and it’s clear this bb pistol is steeped in military inspiration.
Performance-wise, it holds its own. The 330 FPS output using 0.20g BBs makes it suitable for close-quarters action and target shooting alike. The gas blowback mechanism gives a satisfying kick with every shot—just enough to make you grin after each trigger pull. The recoil, combined with the weighty 800g build, delivers a genuine shooting experience that’s closer to the real steel than most other airsoft pistols in its class.
Let’s talk feel. The real wood grips have a nicely textured surface and are engraved with patriotic details, giving your hand something sturdy and tactile to wrap around. It's comfortable to hold and points naturally, with a good balance across the frame. You’ve got both a grip safety and a thumb safety, true to the original M1911 design, so you can run it confidently during skirmishes or just plinking in the backyard.
The 1:1 scale and full metal slide, internals, and lower frame give this airsoft gun a realistic presence in the field or on display. It comes with a weathered 17-round gas magazine, perfectly matching the rest of the build—no shiny bits that look out of place here. Slide manipulation feels smooth yet robust, and the mock firing pin mechanism adds another layer of realism.
There’s an attachment point for a lanyard loop at the base of the grip—great if you’re into WW2 loadouts or just want to keep your sidearm secure. The adjustable hop-up allows you to fine-tune accuracy to suit your play style, and while it’s semi-automatic only, it delivers quick follow-up shots with minimal lag.
The “Squadron” variant rounds out the trio alongside “Victory Girls” and “Fly Girls,” offering something different for every taste in historical airsoft replicas. Whether you're reenacting, collecting, or actually running this piece on the field, it delivers both form and function in spades.
