We Dont go to Ravenholm Anymore... ( SPAS 12 review)

Olive gives me the pits

Isnt that just the included shell type?

Yeah, but…
The UDL is designed, to fire darts…through its own custom shells…

The yank job is designed, to fire 3 bb’s, through a completely different shell, and not be ejected…

Very Different beasts…

Called into xforce today….
Spas 12 back in stock…

And apparently the new ones have been modded to fire gels…

They were busy, no time for a test demo, but maybe another day…

I’m not a member of the fb group…

Mini review?
Specs?

Short video of firing with shell ejection

Ok…
Do they give gel fps.?

look very nice and the glock too …

We dont go to Ravenholm anymore…until its time to upgrade…! :smiley:

Picked up the gel versions, of the SPAS, and 1897…
Quick mini-update…

SPAS first…
Identical to the previous model, except now its purely gel only.
Metal barrel, goes out to the tip, and modded shells, to hold gel(s).

M1897 shells on the left (shorter), and SPAS shells on the right.
1897 have a metal inner tube, SPAS are plastic.

Same body as before, looks like i’ll have some more painting to do…

You can load more than one gel, in each shell, for a “multi shot burst”.
This obviously sacrifices fps.

Single gel, they seemed to like smaller gels. Larger gels slow down the fps.
I used (older) xforce pinks, and got the following results…

SPAS: range between 250-270…max 275fps.
M1897: range between 200-230, max 232 fps.

This was using a batch of xforce pinks, a few months old.

Not massive performers, as could be expected.
Spring upgrades would yield better results, id better go back and see what springs @bikersmurf used, and where he got them from…

Finally, i tried using the new shells on the old SPAS, it did fire gels…at around 70-80 fps.
No surprises there, no inner barrel to accelerate, guide them.

$200 for a SPAS is a good price for the SPAS, if you missed out on one before, grab one now.

I might use my old dart versions, to pull apart and play with spring upgrades…then upgrade the Gel versions… :grin: :grin:

Makes me wanna get my Jurassic Park on…

Nice review, BME… quite the collection you must have. :+1:

I perhaps, may have, one or two blasters…
:grin: :grin:

“How many do you need???”
“Yes…”

I actually have a spare, unopened dart Spas 12, I was keeping it for a spare / pull apart jobby… I guess its a collectors item now…!! :rofl: :rofl:

I was thinking of selling it ( half price) to get rid of it, now these have come out…

Someone could repaint it / mod it / have decent dart blaster…
