KWC M712 Full Metal CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Blue

KWC M712 Full Metal CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Blue

If you've been craving a sidearm that’s as bold as it is historic, the KWC M712 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Blue delivers a heavy dose of old-school firepower with none of the subtlety. Inspired by the legendary Mauser M712 “Schnellfeuer” — the full-auto variant of the iconic C96 — this airsoft pistol combines brutal blowback recoil with a striking gunmetal blue finish that looks like it rolled straight out of a WWII film and into your kit bag.

This is no lightweight toy. The KWC M712 is full metal from the tip of its long barrel to the base of the grip, with faux wood-style polymer panels for that classic broomhandle feel. Weighing in at around 900 grams and built to 1:1 scale, it feels properly substantial in your hands. The squared-off receiver and deep blue finish lend it a unique visual identity — you won’t mistake this for any other airsoft pistol on the field. It’s the kind of piece that gets a second glance, even from seasoned players.

Where this airsoft handgun really shines is in its power and performance. Running on a standard 12g CO2 cartridge (inserted into the magazine), the M712 kicks out BBs at a fierce ~430 FPS — and that’s with 0.20g BBs. With heavier rounds like 0.28g, you’ll see better control and consistency, making this one of the few GBB pistols that feels comfortable beyond close-quarters range. It’s not just loud; it’s genuinely effective in outdoor roles where you’d typically reach for a compact SMG.

But the real party trick? Full-auto fire mode. Flick the selector and the M712 becomes a handheld airsoft sub machine gun. The metal slide tears back with rapid blowback, delivering a roar and recoil that’s incredibly satisfying. It’s not just show — this thing spits BBs fast and hard. Just keep in mind the 22-round mag empties in a heartbeat if you get trigger-happy. Fortunately, the mags are well-built and feed reliably, even when you’re pushing the system under pressure.

Controls are old-school but functional. The mag release is intuitive, the safety is straightforward, and the adjustable rear sight is a nice touch for getting a better zero at distance. There's no rail system or threading for accessories — true to its original design — so don’t expect modern attachments. But that’s not what this pistol is about. It’s a throwback done right, with historical styling and raw mechanical feedback that puts a grin on your face every time you fire it.

As far as skirmish practicality goes, it’s a bit of a niche piece. It’s not ideal for tight CQB or stealth operations, but as part of a WWII loadout, a themed event, or even as a backup in open field games, it’s a fantastic choice. The CO2 power gives it the edge in colder climates too, where gas pistols often struggle. And if you’re running it with a chest rig full of spare mags? Let’s just say it holds its own against much more modern kit.

In a world full of polymer pistols and tactical attachments, the KWC M712 in Blue is a breath of fresh, slightly nostalgic air. It’s a brutal, beautiful, no-nonsense airsoft CO2 pistol that celebrates its roots while packing real performance. If you're a fan of historical firearms, hard-hitting blowback, or just want a pistol that turns heads and punches hard, the M712 should be on your radar.
