VORSK
DIARY UPDATE
THE “GEN I” VORSK EU AND HI CAPA MODELS HAVE BEEN
OUT ON THE MARKET A LITTLE WHILE NOW AND, AS
PROMISED, BILL RETURNS TO HIS OWN HI CAPA 4.3 RDS AND
COMPILES HIS DIARY ENTRIES TO GIVE YOU ALL AN UPDATE
ON HOW THINGS ARE GOING NOW THAT THE PISTOL HAS
SEEN SOME ACTION!
W
hen I first shot the Vorsk Pistols with Ross some
months back, I promised that I’d keep a running
diary of how the two models, the EU18 and the
Hi Capa 4.3 he provided for me for long-term testing fared
over time and with regular use.
Luckily for me I have an Attack Sense Target System set
up at my local shop, All Ages Airsoft in Dover, where I can
go and shoot whatever the weather. I’ve set it up at the
shop rather than at home or on my woodland range as
that way all the local shooters can make use of, and benefit
from, it - and it’s proving to be a real winner with everyone.
Sadly this is now mothballed until we’re all allowed to
reconvene…
I’m also lucky though that I have an outdoor 30m range
that I use for all my testing in some private woodland
owned by friends just 15 minutes walk away across country
from my front door. So even during the current lockdown I
am able to get there without meeting a soul along the way
and, once I’m there it’s just me the dog and an airsoft gun
for as long as I want to stay out. My “one a day” is put to
best use of course!
On my regular visits to both ranges I’ve been taking
along the Vorsk Hi Capa 4.3, so I’ve now been able to
spend some “meaningful time” with it. Thus far it’s been
out with me in all weather conditions, from frosty early
mornings to some unexpectedly clement days where the
sun has shone and the wind has stayed light. I managed
to secure a couple of extra 28BB magazines for the pistol,
so my belt is now all set up and a new holster made by
Kydex Customs is locked in place. This has proved to be
an excellent addition to my setup and Taig kindly set the
holster up with a belt clip so that I can easily transfer it from
belt to belt if I wish.
I’ve been running the Hi Capa on NUPROL 2.0 gas,
using .25g RZR BBs and the chrono still settles well at 1.01
Joule/330fps with a .20g BB, with little variance from new.
The pistol has now had 150 mags worth/4,2000 BBs down
the barrel and to date I’ve experienced no issues other than
the slide not locking back on empty on really, REALLY chilly
mornings, which would vex any GBB of course!
Accuracy is actually getting better the more I run it, and
at 10m I’m now down to regular 80mm groupings when I
really try. Consistently at 10m it’s a breeze hitting a “Figure
11” each and every time, even when I’m on the move. Thus
far the Vorsk Hi Capa 4.3 has proved to be an exemplary
and wholly worthy sidekick and the RDS is even still running
on the original battery!
I’ll update again in due course, but next for the diary will
be an update on the Vorsk EU18 RDS… I’ve got myself a
couple of extended mags to try in that one, which sounds
like proper airsoft fun to me, so watch this space! AA
“THE PISTOL HAS NOW HAD 150 MAGS WORTH/4,2000 BBS DOWN THE BARREL AND
TO DATE I’VE EXPERIENCED NO ISSUES OTHER THAN THE SLIDE NOT LOCKING BACK
ON EMPTY ON REALLY, REALLY CHILLY MORNINGS, WHICH WOULD VEX ANY GBB OF
COURSE!”
