TheGlock 17 Umarex green gas is a perfectly reproduced replica of the Glock 17 gen 3 pistol , with a powerful blow-back system, metal lock and manual operation compatible with firearms.
Green gas Glock 17 replica with blow-back and metal lock
Like the combat version, the Glock 17 replica has a steel lock and a polymer frame. The gun's breech is made of steel using a precision CNC method, making the weight of the replica similar to the weapon. The front of the skeleton features a short Picatinny mounting rail, allowing the use of additional shooting accessories such as a laser target pointer or flashlight. Licensed Glock company markings and the pistol's serial number are applied to the lock and frame. The grip has anatomical finger molding and fine texturing, which ensures good control of the replica regardless of hand size.
Theoperation of the moving parts (magazine latch, breech drop lever, trigger with safety), and manual operation are identical to the real Glock 17. The dimensions of the replica are consistent with the original, so standard firearms holsters, i.e. Safariland or Blackhawk, can be used to carry the pistol.
Glock 17 gen 3 blowback - the most common choice of asg players
The Glock 17 gen 3 replica is powered by green gas, a mixture of propane and silicone oil, which is also responsible for the maintenance of the seals and valve. The green gas shoots 6 mm 0.20 g bullets with an energy of 1 J (about 320 fps). This provides an effective range of 20 meters, so the replica will perform best when shooting at short and medium distances. The gas mixture is stored in an integrated magazine reservoir, filling the green gas is done in the same way as with a regular gas lighter.
Thanks to the optimized distribution of green gas, the replica provides a particularly strong blowback effect. As a result, players experience a stronger, more realistic recoil after each shot. The gun is designed to be fed with green gas with increased pressure up to 150 PSI, which guarantees repeatability and efficiency of shots. The stronger "kick" of the breech makes us have an irresistible impression of shooting a firearm. A full tank of green gas allows you to fire up to 60 shots with an even initial velocity of 320 fps, which is a good result for a replica with a gas blow back system. The number of shots fired depends mainly on the air temperature and the dynamics with which you shoot. The replica also features an adjustable hop-up system, which is responsible for accuracy and firing range.
Umarex Glock 17 - faithful reproduction of details
The Glock 17 gen 3 has a Safe Action trigger mechanism with a trigger fuse, which forces the correct finger placement on the trigger tongue in order to fire. This solution is implemented from the Safe Action mechanism used in the Glock series.
The weight of the trigger tongue is about 2.8 kg, so the replica can be successfully used for "force on force" shooting training.
Metal magazine
The gun is powered by a metal magazine with a capacity of 20 bullets. To increase realism, there is a dummy ammunition level indicator on the back of the body of the 20-round magazine.
Aiming instruments
The pistol uses adjustable targeting instruments, i.e. a bow tie with a white dot, and a frame-mounted (horizontally adjustable) sights. The contrasting markings speed up the ripping of the instruments, and also allow quick silhouette shooting in low or residual light.
