A high-precision rifle that overturns the common sense of semi-automatic rifles

PSG-1, which was active in military and police special forces around the world, including Germany.
At Tokyo Marui, in order to upgrade the model as the best electric gun sniper rifle, thorough design from performance to each detail was done. The mechanical box adopts a different operating mechanism than before, greatly improving the response from pulling the trigger to firing. As a semi-automatic model, it is finished with a focus on the reliability of each shot.
In addition, it is equipped with a special scope so that sniping can be performed as intended from a distance. Cheek pieces and butt plates that can be adjusted according to the shooter are also reproduced, and a gimmick that interlocks the bolt when firing is also installed. It is a model that allows you to fully enjoy the feeling of being a sniper.

"Major features"
- Dedicated mechanism: For the PSG-1, we have developed a semi-automatic mechanical box. The reaction of the trigger is quickly transmitted to the operating part, and sniping with little time lag can be performed.
● Various adjustment functions to support the aim: The stock is equipped with a cheek piece that can adjust the height of the cheek position and a butt plate that can be extended to a position that is easy to hold.
In addition, by adjusting the hand rest and trigger shoe, it is possible to grip according to the size of the hand and the length of the fingers.
● Dedicated scope is standard equipment. Equipped with a scope (4 x 40x) whose reticle (crosshair for aiming) can be adjusted left, right, up and down. The front of the scope uses a hard-coated polycarbonate filter that prevents damage from BB bullets, making it suitable for games and long-distance sniping.
● Easy hop adjustment: Pull the cocking lever on the hand guard to open the ejection port on the right side. You can adjust the degree of hop by simply turning the dial inside the port.
- Realistic press-finished magazine: A short-sized magazine with 15 bullets and a steel press outer case similar to the real thing can fire up to the last shot.


[From a real gun]
A world-class semi-automatic sniper rifle developed by H&K in Germany in the 1970s based on the G3. PSG1 stands for Präzisions Scharfschützen Gewehr-1 (Precision Sharpshooter Rifle).
After the Munich Olympic Village terrorist attack in 1972, the West German government at the time keenly felt the need for a powerful semi-automatic sniper rifle that could quickly defeat multiple targets at a distance with a single shot (according to one theory). It is a sniper rifle that was developed with all of its efforts.

The PSG1 achieves rapid continuous fire that was impossible with bolt-action sniper rifles, and although it has a complex structure with many parts called automatic rifles, it uses carefully selected high-precision parts to achieve high accuracy. maintain. At the rear of the ejection port, a bolt closure device similar to the M16/AR15's bolt forward assist has been added, and with independent cheek pads and palm rests, it is possible to adjust to some extent according to the size and build of the shooter's hand. became. The trigger can also be adjusted by the shooter to suit their own pull and pull, and can be adjusted by removing the entire unit. The barrel is a free-float heavy barrel that is thicker than the original, and the rifling has a polygonal shape.
Although the PSG1 has been described as the pinnacle of semi-automatic sniper rifles, it also has its weaknesses. It's too heavy, and while the weight helps stabilize the gun, it makes it difficult to carry for long periods of time. Moreover, it is often said that the manufacturing cost is high because it is composed only of high-precision parts, and the price of one is extremely expensive at 7,000 dollars. Therefore, in 1987, MSG90 was born as a low-priced version of PSG1.

Although there are restrictions on its operation, it is often used by organizations with ample budgets because it has the performance to match it. Not only Germany's GSG9, but also first-class anti-terrorism units such as GEO and GIS, as well as some US military special forces, have also been tested by the Japan Coast Guard Special Guard (SST) and SAT (Special Assault Force). It seems that several were introduced for the purpose.
