UHC makes some of the highest quality spring powered Airsoft guns on the planet. Most will tell you they are a knockoff of Tokyo Marui spring pistols which are considered the top of the line. You can get the same quality in this gun for half the price of a Marui. UHC Heavy Weight guns also have a remarkably similar weight and feel to the real steel. This is a gas gun, which means it's powered by gas and doesn't need to be cocked every time. It's fast, clean, inexpensive and easily maintained; it does not require batteries to operate. Also, spring guns are the toughest, most durable of all AirSoft guns, because they're made with few breakable pieces. If you're looking for a fun, reliable firearm that'll look great and perform even better, you've come to the right place.
