Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on ASG Cobray Ingram M11 NBB CO2 BB Machine Pistol is exactly what you would expect from a NBB CO2 BB double action trigger. It is on the longer and slightly heavier side as your finger is required to do all the work, rather than the blowback action at least cocking the hammer back for you. Getting through the 39 rounds quickly will be a chore for sure, but by the time you reload it again with another 39 rounds your finger should be rested enough!
Accuracy: My dedicated field test shooting video is planned for next week so for now I have no idea what to expect in terms of velocity and accuracy from the ASG Cobray Ingram M11 NBB CO2 BB Machine Pistol other than it should shoot around 400 fps as claimed by ASG. The rather open rear peep sight is on the larger side since the sight sits so close to your face so as long as I can find the center point I should be able to get a decent result from the ASG Cobray Ingram M11. We will find out soon enough so stay posted for that shooting video review.
Build Quality: The ASG Cobray Ingram M11 NBB CO2 BB Machine Pistol is not a poorly made Airgun by no means, just don’t expect a lot of metal as the only metal parts are going to be the stock, the inner barrel, and some other internal metal parts. Everything else is plastic but it works just fine. I do have to say the metal wire stock is really well built and is the best part of this Airgun for sure. It is as good or similar in quality to what you would find on the real steel version.
Realism: The ASG Cobray Ingram M11 NBB CO2 BB Machine Pistol is a 1 to 1 replica of a standard MAC11 and it looks just like one at a glance and perhaps even a bit closer up but as soon as you hold it you will feel how light it is at around 1.2 pounds. There are also very few working parts as many are moulded into the upper and lower receiver. The trigger, magazine release, stock button and safety switch however are all functional which is kind of necessary. The reassessed barrel, adjustable wire rear stock and full size drop out magazine do help add to the realism.
Pros:
Double action trigger is a bit long but not super heavy, it will make you work for action styled shooting.
Fit and finish looks good.
In terms of realism it does look legitimate even though it is very light weight to hold.
High capacity magazine for lots of shots between reloading.
Metal stock is the best part of this pistol, very well made.
Peep sight in back is ideal for quick targets acquisition.
Can kind of field trip but be careful of the safety, must remove first.
Recessed barrel for added realism.
Full size magazine holds the CO2 and BB’s.
Cobray licensing looks good on this gun, no ugly white warning print.
Cons:
Some more metal and weight would have been nice.
Peep sight in the back seems too large as it is so close to your face.
Not a lot of working parts other than the trigger, safety, stock adjustment and magazine release.
Comments:
In terms of 4.5mm BB Airguns out there, I am pretty sure there are no other MAC11 type on the market? So at least ASG has brought us an option to add something like this to for our Airgun collection. I just wish that like the Mini UZI, we had a blowback option with more metal as this is really the more desired choice we are looking for, at least of many of us. The ASG Cobray Ingram M11 NBB CO2 BB Machine Pistol isn’t going to be all that expensive and offers some fun plinking with decent looks, hopefully a company steps up to the table and makes us a blowback metal version down the road, but for now we at least have the ASG Cobray Ingram M11 NBB CO2 BB Machine Pistol.
