Comments:
The A-111 is the second
model in the 100 series from the Russian firm Anics. The A-111 is
considerably more accurate than the A-101. The design of the
trigger on the A-111 has a tendency to pinch your finger when
rapidly firing the gun (the A-101 doesn't do this). The rear
sight is adjustable by a simple slotted screw mechanism.
The Anics A-112 is the same as the A-111 except with a longer
barrel. There was also a version made that had a silencer
attached to the barrel (A-111 LB) and a version of the A-112
that had a laser built into the barrel (A-112 L). The
A-111 has a long trigger pull with an indistinct break point.
The CO2
cartridge piercing mechanism is difficult to use due to the
small tab on the piercing screw. This is a decent plinker with
good power and accuracy typical of short barreled, smooth-bored
BB guns.
Performance:
Measurements were made on
7/16/06 at a temperature of 84 ºF and 14' elevation. A ten shot string was fired
from a bench rest at 15' using Crosman Copperhead BBs (5.1 gr).
The highest velocity measured was 490 fps, the lowest was 445 fps
(average of the 10-shot string was 469 fps). A seven shot string
shot with open sights grouped at 1.13". Click the thumbnail below to see a

Loading BBs: The small post that is used to pull the magazine spring back is easily broken, so hold it securely. The magazines for the A-111 and A-101 are interchangeable even though the bottoms are styled differently. This gun has a tendency to jam, especially as the magazine gets worn. Use only high quality steel BBs to lessen the chances of a jam. |
 |
Loading CO2: The threaded endcap is difficult to turn far enough to puncture the CO2 bulb. Padded pliers help with this. |
