Army Armament R501 Desert

An exceptional airsoft replica based on the 2011 platform, which in turn comes from the classic 1911. Unlike the previous model, this platform has a magazine with an increased capacity by using a zig-zag cartridge arrangement, reducing the caliber but increasing the size of the grip and frame. A striking pistol that doesn't go unnoticed.

Exterior of the replica

This toy is manufactured by Army Armaments, mostly made of metal. Due to the Hi-Capa platform, the grip is made of ABS plastic, resulting in lower weight and easy replacement in case of damage. The manufacturer has left their mark through a slightly modified design of the components to enhance the replica in a unique way. This toy replicates the specific safety features of the 2011 model, which include a grip safety that prevents the hammer from cocking without a firm grip on the pistol and an ambidextrous cocked hammer safety.

Interior of the replica

Since this airsoft replica is based on the Hi-Capa platform, the internals are largely compatible with this series, expanding the possibilities for upgrades and replacements if necessary. The Hop-Up is adjustable from inside the toy, requiring the removal of the slide for adjustment. Once set, this Hop-Up remains constant and does not move during use. The airsoft replica has a velocity of approximately 90-95 meters per second, measured with 0.20g BBs. We recommend using 0.25g BBs for optimal performance.

Power source

The replica comes with a 28-round magazine powered by gas. This airsoft replica operates correctly using Green Gas. In normal atmospheric conditions at temperatures above 15°C, with a full gas charge, the toy can fire all the BBs in the magazine, and when they are depleted, the slide locks back to indicate the end of ammunition.
