WE BioHazard P226 VIRUS Airsoft Pistol — Black

GBB (gas blowback) replica of the SIG P226 in the VIRUS version, manufactured by WE for airsoft. The metal frame and slide deliver a hand feel close to the original, while the blowback system produces a noticeable recoil impulse on every shot, making the shooting experience more realistic than a replica without this mechanism.

The green gas-powered GBB system operates on an open cycle: the slide travels rearward on each shot, ejecting the simulated casing and chambering the next round. This means higher gas consumption compared to a fixed-slide system, and greater sensitivity to ambient temperature: in cold conditions gas output drops, which is worth keeping in mind for outdoor winter sessions. The benefit is a level of feedback that AEP or NBB replicas cannot provide, and a working cycle far closer to that of a real semi-automatic pistol.

The magazine, also metal, holds gas in the lower section and BBs in the upper column, following the classic WE layout. Compatibility with other magazines from the WE P226 series means spare mags can be carried without adding excessive weight to the kit. The BioHazard VIRUS design stands out through the machining details on the frame and slide that define the visual identity of the series.
