Introduced a little over four years ago, the "Double-Trap" K is one of Killer Studio’s unique items many people either completely overlook, or just haven't really heard much about. Unlike some of the more well known guns they build, the “Double-Trap” K has nothing externally fabricated; only minor gearbox tuning and comes with a KSC based, custom SOCCOM suppressor. This keeps the cost way down to 38,000 yen; the same price for a Killer Studio Cyber Aug without any internal gearbox work
The primary selling point for the “Double-Trap” K is its unusually long range. This one in particular is the standard, 100 M/S based Stage I version. The distance it can propel a .25g bb is more or less the same as a standard M4/SR16 pushing at over 370 FPS. Keep in mind that the Double Trap only pushes 320 FPS at best and has an inner barrel that’s only 110mm in length, compared to 360mm of the M4.
Intro:
A quick look at the KSC based SOCCOM silencer Killer Studio has modified will show that most of it is actually an extension of the inner barrel. The last 1 ½ inches consists of a ported aluminum shroud that works to considerably muffle the muzzle report.
The spring acts as a tensioner that pushes the barrel extension onto the inner barrel of the gun.
This simply allows for the two barrel ends to always meet flush against each other since the Trap suppressor is often attached/detached on the field depending on the players personal preference.
How So?
The Concept of the "Double-Trap" Suppressor:
To better illustrate the idea, take a look into the Tanaka Works fixed slide Glock17/34. This particular model(s) has an available mock “silencer” that is simply a barrel extension. Screw it on, and presto, instant increase in velocity and accuracy.
Go back farther, and some of you will recall the “American Gun Kids” M16 based “The Secret.” This was actually the original custom made detachable inner barrel extension, which even by today’s standard is still top notch. The bore of the extension to the inner barrel is the exact same size, and has absolutely no deviation for the fit of the contact points.
However, the concept for this particular piece was not so much for added increase in velocity/accuracy during field play, but to simply make the gun easy to detach for transport/storage and to also allow the gun to have two different configurations adjustable on the fly.
But back to the "Double-Trap," a closer look into the extension pipe will show that it is not the same bore as the inner barrel, but slightly larger in diameter. This allows for sufficient air to bleed through without having to rework the cylinder compression, but enough to boost the bb to where you can noticeably tell a difference in range/velocity. Attaching the "Double-Trap" suppressor actually increases the velocity by approximately 20+ FPS. Without the suppressor screwed on, the average velocity clocks in at 290 FPS.
The threading of the "Double-Trap"suppressor only requires 3 complete turns to securely attach/detach. When you need that extra bit of range, or to quiet down the muzzle report, the suppressor easily screws on without a hitch. To shorten the gun down is even easier since the suppressor can be unscrewed even faster than put on.
Final Thoughts:
An excellent gun if you want to sample what Killer Studio can offer without having to break the bank, and to get the best value for money spent.
Do keep in mind that the "Double-Trap" K is an older gun from Killer Studio, so thus the overall concept isn't really breakthrough so to speak, but it does set a higher standard to what you can get out of a MP5K. After all, the "Double-Trap" K can easily float shots past full size AEG's that have higher powered tuning...
