Maruzen - APS-3 Original

【Major features】

All evolution is for accuracy
The "APS-3" is a model that can be said to be synonymous with air sports guns for precision shooting competitions. Everything was originally designed to combine the latest concept and style with the air sports gun. This product, which was originally created by Maruzen, is equipped with specifications that surpass the famous machine "APS-1 Grand Master" that has reigned at the top for a long time, and is playing an active part as a standard model suitable for towing the APS cup. .. The APS-3 was developed with the goal of "further improving the accuracy of the hit", and the industry's first "Comppressed Air" was adopted as the key firing method. In terms of functionality, the adjustment points for each part such as the trigger, grip, and sight have been enhanced to bring the overall silhouette closer to the air pistol of a real gun.

What is Compressed Air?
Due to the structure of the conventional spring-based cocking air, the piston moves forward vigorously in the cylinder after pulling the trigger, so a shock (: impact) occurs at that moment. This release shock causes the gun to vibrate slightly, which greatly affects the accuracy of the hit. Therefore, the compressed air method was adopted as a method to further reduce the release shock. In cocking air, the air is compressed and released at the same time as the piston moves forward, but in compressed air, the air is first compressed by the piston, and when the trigger is pulled, the striker hits the valve and releases the air. It has the advantage that release shock is less likely to occur than the cocking air method.
