Today, we are pushing the Umarex T4E TR68 .68 caliber marker to its absolute limits.

If you watched our previous testing, you know we already ran the Umarex T4E TR68 using the dual 12g CO2 adapters. However, those cylinders had been sitting in the launcher for a while and likely leaked, meaning we didn't get a true reading on maximum power.

Not today. We are locked, loaded, and puncturing a brand-new, 88-gram CO2 cylinder to give this marker a full-jam performance review. Our ammo of choice? High-impact, .68 caliber nylon plastic balls weighing just under 3 grams each. Combined with this massive CO2 tank, we are pushing a hard-hitting 30 Joules of energy.

Let's see what happens when residual heat meets heavy-duty targets.

Target 1: The 3-Ply Plywood Test

We started out in semi-automatic mode to see what a couple of precision shots would do to standard 3-ply construction plywood.

• Shot 1: The first impact did some good damage almost making it clean through the plywood but the CO2 had not just yet settled in.

• Shot 2: A follow-up shot confirmed the devastation, easily tearing a clean hole through the wood now that the CO2 was fully primed.

The Verdict: The TR68 backed by an 88g tank makes absolute mockery of standard plywood. If you are looking for pure penetrative power, semi-auto maximizes your velocity because the CO2 doesn't cool down too rapidly between pulls.

Target 2: The Galvanized Steel Challenge

Next up, we raised the stakes with a heavy-duty galvanized steel trash can lid. Steel is notoriously unforgiving, but the TR68 didn't bounce off.

Pumping a round directly into the steel resulted in an immediate, loud puncture. We put a hole straight through galvanized steel. The raw kinetic transfer didn't just dent the metal; it ripped clean through it.

Target 3: The Plastic Bucket Lid

I also wanted to see how the Umarex T4E TR68 handled a lighter, more flexible polymer target, so we lined up a shot against a standard plastic garbage can lid.

Even with the flexibility of the plastic absorbing some of the impact, the marker didn't hesitate. Idid not get a super clean shot adn hit the lid on the outer edge, The .68 caliber nylon ball punched a clean, definitive hole right through the plastic lid. It proved immediately that thin plastic barriers offer absolutely zero protection against this setup.

Going Hot: Full-Auto Mag Dump

To wrap up the torture test, we set the plywood back as a backstop. We flipped the selector switch over to full-automatic to see how the marker manages multiple full auto bursts of the remaining rounds in the magazine (the magazine holds 20 rounds total so about 15 rounds were left).

We let loose a few intense bursts to empty the mag and the damage was definitive! In full auto the cooling effect of the CO2 is noticeable lowering the power output of each round, even so I would not want to be anywhere near the line of fire when 20 rounds or .68 caliber nylon balls are heading your way. I may not of penetrate the 3 ply wood this time but if it was skin that would be a different story.

Less-Lethal Defense & Deterrent Capability

Looking at these results, this setup functions as an incredibly formidable less-lethal option.

If someone is coming at you, a rapid-fire barrage of 3-gram nylon balls at 30 Joules is going to absolutely slow them down. It serves as an exceptional, painful deterrent. While it is explicitly less-lethal and won't cause critical injuries under normal operation (assuming you are smart and avoid the face/eyes at close range), the sheer impact force will ensure an intruder doesn't stick around.

For maximum velocity against heavy clothing (like a thick winter parka), stick to semi-auto to keep your pressure peaked. For absolute suppression and stopping power, the full-auto capability is there to get the job done.

Today we are staying dry inside out of the rain and stepping into the indoor range for a practical field test and penetration review of the Umarex T4E TP50 Less Lethal Pistol. If you are looking for a legal and unregulated deterrent for home defense that packs a surprising punch, you’ll want to see how this .50 caliber paintball-style pistol performs straight out of the box.

The Test Setup

For this test, we are keeping the TP50 entirely stock. There are no valve modifications or aftermarket upgrades here, this is exactly what you get when you open the box.

We are shooting from a distance of approximately 30 feet. Here are the specs on the ammunition and power for today's test:

• Ammunition: .50 caliber rubber balls with a steel core. These are slightly less dense than nylon but heavier than standard rubber due to the steel center. (Just under 3 grams)

• Power Output: Pushing roughly 12 to 13 Joules.

• Velocity: Traveling at just over 300 feet per second (fps).

Our targets for today include a solid piece of 3-ply wood, a metal trash can lid and some thick plastic bucket lids to see exactly what kind of damage this less-lethal option can do.

Target 1: The 3-Ply Wood Test

First up was the 3-ply wood. Given the velocity and the dense nature of the target, I wasn't expecting the Umarex T4E TP50 Less Lethal Pistol to blow right through the wood.

After putting a couple of rounds downrange, the results were impressive. While it didn't fully penetrate the 3-ply, it hit with a resounding smack and left significant, visible damage on the surface. Honestly, this gun shoots much hotter than I remembered. It is absolutely no slouch.

Target 2: The Galvanized Steel Garbage Can Lid

second up, I aimed at the galvanized steel garbage can lid. Going into this stage, I expected the .50 caliber round to simply smack the surface and fall straight to the ground without penetrating, which is exactly what happened.

However, even though it didn't punch a hole through the metal, the sheer force of the impact was undeniable. The round hit the steel hard, proving that even against dense, unforgiving surfaces, the TP50 is pumping out some serious kinetic energy.

Target 3: The Plastic Barrel Lids

Next, we moved on to the plastic barrel lids. I expected the TP50 to punch through a single lid, so we taped two of them together to see how far it could push.

This is where the Umarex T4E TP50 Less Lethal Pistol really showed its teeth. When I fired, the recoil actually threw my hand back, this gun has genuine kick to it, especially when firing these heavier steel-core rounds.

It does seem to shoot a bit on the high side at 30 feet, so I ended up hitting the target near the top edge. Even so, the steel-core rubber ball blew cleanly through the first plastic lid and struck the second. That level of penetration from a stock, 12-Joule less-lethal pistol is incredibly impressive.

Final Thoughts

The Umarex T4E TP50 is a powerhouse for an out-of-the-box, unregulated less-lethal pistol. While it's designed as a deterrent rather than a lethal option, the 12 to 13 Joules of energy paired with steel-core rubber balls provides more than enough kick to send a very clear message to anyone who shouldn't be up to no good and on your property.

If you are looking for a highly capable less-lethal pistol that sits well within Canada's unregulated legal limits, the TP50 delivers.

Today, since it’s raining outside, we are back in the Sea Can Indoor Airgun Shooting Range running a practical indoor field and penetration test on a true heavy hitter from Umarex's T4E lineup: the TC68 (.68 caliber) less-lethal paintball rifle.

If you haven't seen the tabletop video covering the exterior and specs of this rifle, make sure to check that out first. Today is all about seeing what happens when high-velocity nylon meets plywood and steel.

The Setup & Modifications

For this test, we are shooting solid nylon balls that weigh just under 3 grams. However, we are not running this rifle stock.

I’ve slightly modified this TC68 by adjusting the internal velocity valve. By turning that valve further in with a headless Allen key, the gun delivers a larger burst of CO2 per shot. Instead of the stock 15 Joules, this simple screw adjustment pushes the rifle closer to 30 Joules of kinetic energy.

Even with that massive power increase, the nylon balls are traveling at roughly 460 feet per second (fps). Because it stays under the 500 fps threshold, this modified setup remains completely legal here in Canada without requiring a specialized firearms license.

A Quick Note on CO2 Performance: It is worth mentioning that the dual 12 gram CO2 cartridge setup used during this specific test were not brand new, which likely affected the power output to some degree. Because of this, I am planning on making a similar penetration test video in the future using a brand new 88-gram CO2 cylinder, which I believe will perform significantly better and yield even higher kinetic energy transfer.

View fullsize

The Penetration Test

To see what nearly 30 Joules of .68 caliber impact looks like, we set up three different targets.

Target 1: 3-Ply Plywood

• I fired a few rounds straight into 3-ply plywood.

• The high-velocity nylon balls went right through the wood with zero hesitation, even punching through the knots.

• While the velocity naturally dipped slightly after the first couple of shots as the CO2 cooled, the penetration power on those initial shots was absolute.

Target 2: Heavy Galvanized Steel

• Next, we tested the rifle against heavy galvanized steel, specifically, a thick garbage can lid.

• The nylon balls did not penetrate the steel, which is completely expected for a less-lethal platform, but maybe fresh CO2 would have made a difference?

• However, the impact was incredibly loud and left massive, deep dings in the metal.

Target 3: The Double-Smash Test

• For the final test, we set up a stacked, double-layered plastic bucket lid target.

• The TC68 smashed straight through the setup, putting a clean hole right through all layers.

Practical Application & Safety Notes

One of the best features of the Umarex T4E TC68 Less Lethal Paintball Rifle is the quick-pierce CO2 system located in the buttstock. You can load your CO2 and keep it unpierced until the exact moment you need it, ensuring your seals don’t wear out while it sits in the closet. However, be careful, I accidentally pierced my CO2 before the test just by resting the buttstock too hard on the ground!

Ultimately, this is a fantastic tool for home defense. If you ever have individuals trespassing or causing trouble, the intent with this rifle is not to kill, it is strictly less-lethal. The goal is to motivate them to leave your property immediately. Having a less-lethal option like this also provides a much more defensible position should a situation ever go to court.

If you are looking to pick up a TC68 for yourself, you can find them in our Canada and US stores. Thank you for reading and watching. You can find all my video content on YouTube, Vimeo adn Rumble so make sure to subscribe to the channels!

If you watch my shooting reviews and tabletop breakdowns, you know I’m always hunting for gear that captures a realistic, point-of-view perspective. When I'm conducting a precision tabletop review or managing a live shooting test, I want you to see exactly what I'm seeing. I’ve been using my Meta Ray-Bans quite a bit for hands-free POV footage, but a new piece of hardware just arrived that completely redefines the workflow. I'm wore them while I made the video for this article, they are the Rokid Display Glasses.

Running a review channel by yourself means navigating a lot of moving parts simultaneously. On the range, the challenges are doubled. When I'm doing shooting tests, I'm trying to look down the sights, safely manage the airgun, check target accuracy, and somehow remember five different velocity metrics and specifications without constantly stopping to look down at my notes.

A Teleprompter on the Firing Line

Traditional smart glasses record what you see, but leave you in the dark regarding your review data. The Rokid Glasses solve this via an AI heads-up display that projects a screen directly into your field of view.

By using the integrated teleprompter application, I can display precise talking points, technical specifications, and gun data right inside the lens. I can reference complex velocity averages or background manufacturing details instantly, without ever breaking contact with the camera or looking away from the range.

For our community, this means:

• Tighter, More Accurate Reviews: Zero guesswork on technical data mid-shoot.

• Enhanced Safety: My eyes stay up and focused on the range adn what I’m doing, not buried in my notes.

• Seamless Close-Ups: Perfect hands-free POV for mechanical teardowns, unboxings, and up-close airgun overviews.

What to Expect

Moving forward, you are going to start seeing these glasses in action out on the shooting range, helping me deliver smoother, spec-heavy reviews. This is just an initial preview of the hardware, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it streamlines our testing process.

Welcome back for another field test! Today I am taking the E&L AKN 75 AEG Airsoft Rifle out to the range to see what it can do. If you want a deep dive into the specifications, materials, and a close-up look at the hardware, make sure to watch our dedicated Table Top Review. For this video, however, I am focusing entirely on how this rifle performs when putting plastic to paper.

Velocity and Chronograph Performance

To get a baseline for power and consistency, I ran a string of shots through the chronograph using standard 0.25g Airsoft BBs. Here is how the E&L handled right out of the box:

• Shot 1: 360 FPS

• Shot 2: 358 FPS

• Shot 3: 358 FPS

• Shot 4: 358 FPS

• Shot 5: 358 FPS

The consistency on this AEG is outstanding. After a slightly higher first shot, it locked exactly onto 358 FPS for the remainder of the test string.

One major surprise during the chrono test was the trigger system. Out of the box, the E&L AKN 75 AEG Airsoft Rifle operates with a binary-style double trigger, meaning it fires a round when you pull the trigger, and a second round when you release it. This feature makes it incredibly easy to rattle off rapid, successive shots even while staying in semi-automatic mode.

Downrange Accuracy at 30 Feet

Moving on to the accuracy portion of the review, I set up a fresh paper target exactly 30 feet downrange.

• Semi-Automatic Testing: I fired 10 carefully aimed shots in semi-auto mode. The gun delivered an excellent 1.5-inch grouping. The cluster was perfectly centered left-to-right but landed slightly low on the paper. Because the rear sight was dialed down to its lowest notch, fixing this would simply be a matter of bumping up the sight elevation rather than adjusting the hop-up.

• Full-Automatic Testing: I flipped the selector switch and dumped the rest of the magazine. The rifle chugged right along with a distinct, heavy sound, effortlessly shredding the target without skipping a beat.

Build Notes and Battery Fitment

This is an incredibly authentic-feeling replica. The combination of the real wood front handguard and the stamped steel folding rear stock gives the gun a fantastic, realistic weight.

However, you will need to be mindful of your battery choices. The battery compartment underneath the top dust cover is extremely tight and requires a specific, small nunchuck-style battery to close properly. For the purpose of getting this test done, I actually left the dust cover off of the E&L AKN 75 AEG Airsoft Rifle to fit the battery we had on hand. It doesn't affect performance, but it's something to keep in mind when purchasing accessories.

Final Thoughts

The E&L AKN 75 is a rugged, beautiful AEG that backs up its authentic looks with rock-solid consistency and great accuracy on the range.

In this field test shooting review, we run the G&G PCC45 Pro AEG Airsoft Rifle through our standard range testing, covering raw velocity consistency on the chronograph and accuracy at a distance of 30 feet in both semi-automatic and full-automatic modes. If you are looking for all the technical details, specs, and a closer look at the build, make sure to check out our previously posted Table Top Review. Today, however, is all about real-world performance on the range.

Chronograph Testing

To establish a solid baseline for velocity and consistency, we tested the G&G PCC45 Pro using 0.25g Airsoft BBs. We put a string of rounds through the chronograph to see how it handles out of the box, and the results were impressively uniform:

• Shot 1: 334 FPS

• Shot 2: 334 FPS

• Shot 3: 337 FPS

• Shot 4: 335 FPS

• Shot 5: 334 FPS

Chronograph Verdict

The G&G PCC45 Pro demonstrated excellent consistency, hovering beautifully in the mid-330s with a tight 3 FPS variance across most shots. Averaging right around 335 FPS, this translates to very stable and predictable performance on the field. Keep in mind that because we conducted this test with slightly heavier 0.25g BBs for improved stability, you can expect the velocity to scale up perfectly to standard CQB-friendly limits if you switch to lighter 0.20g rounds.

Accuracy Testing

Moving over to the accuracy portion of our evaluation, we set up a fresh paper target downrange at our standard distance of 30 feet.

• Semi-Automatic Accuracy (10-Shot Group):

  Firing a 10-shot string in semi-automatic mode, the PCC45 Pro delivered a stellar performance. Getting a clear look downrange can be a bit tricky depending on your choice of eyewear, but dialing into the rear peep sight revealed that this rifle is a laser. Out of the box, the 10-shot string punched a remarkably tight 1-inch grouping right near the center. It leaned just a tiny bit low and slightly to the left of the absolute bullseye, but for an unmodified out-of-the-box rifle, that is an incredibly impressive group.

• Full-Automatic Accuracy (Burst Test):

  Switching the selector over to full-automatic "fun mode", we held down the trigger to unleash a heavy, continuous burst to see how much the spread would open up. The spring-fed magazine fed flawlessly, unloading what was left of the mag—likely a solid 90+ rounds, until the mechanical tone changed, signaling we were completely dry. Even under a heavy mag dump, the full-auto spread opened up to just over 2 inches. It chewed a massive, definitive hole right through the paper target, keeping the vast majority of the BBs tightly localized.

Sighting & Ergonomics Note

The built-in iron sights of the G&G PCC45 Pro AEG Airsoft Rifle perform great, featuring a nice, crisp rear peep sight. If you find your shots landing slightly off-center out of the box, the sights are fully adjustable; the rear sight handles windage adjustments (left/right) while the front sight can be moved up or down for elevation adjustments. That said, given the seamless top rail space, adding a premium red dot sight would make a fantastic addition to perfect your sight picture on this platform.

On a quick battery note, managing battery placement on some of these compact platforms can occasionally be a bit tricky out on the range, sometimes requiring a bit of trial and error with different form factors, like nunchuck-style packs, to find the perfect fit inside the tight compartments.

Final Thoughts & Availability

The G&G PCC45 Pro AEG Airsoft Rifle is an exceptionally capable performer. Whether you are a beginner looking for a high-tier primary or a seasoned player wanting a reliable CQB powerhouse, it delivers fantastic accuracy, dependable velocity consistency, and an absolute blast of a full-auto mode.

In this field test shooting review, we run the G&G L85 Carbine AEG Airsoft Rifle through our standard range testing, covering raw velocity consistency on the chronograph and accuracy at a distance of 30 feet in both semi-automatic and full-automatic modes.

If you are looking for detailed specifications, internal details, or close-up styling footage, make sure to check out our comprehensive Table Top Review. Today, however, is all about real-world performance.

Chronograph Testing

We tested the G&G L85 Carbine using 0.25g Airsoft BBs, which are slightly heavier than standard 0.20g ammunition. We put five rounds through the chronograph to establish an average velocity:

• Shot 1: 329 FPS

• Shot 2: 329 FPS

• Shot 3: 328 FPS

• Shot 4: 327 FPS

• Shot 5: 328 FPS

• Shot 6: 328 FPS

Chronograph Verdict

The G&G L85 Carbine AEG Airsoft Rifle demonstrated outstanding consistency, hovering reliably between 327 and 329 FPS averaging 328 FPS. Because we utilized heavier 0.25g BBs for this benchmark, you can expect this rifle to comfortably shoot right around the 360 FPS mark when using standard 0.20g rounds.

This velocity output sits perfectly within Canada’s import requirements, which require a baseline velocity over 366 FPS. It provides an optimal balance for close-quarters battle (CQB) environments while retaining enough power to remain viable for mid-range outdoor field skirmishes.

Accuracy Testing

Moving over to the accuracy portion of our evaluation, we set up a fresh paper target downrange at a distance of 30 feet.

Semi-Automatic Accuracy (10-Shot Group)

Firing a 10-shot string in semi-automatic mode, the G&G L85 Carbine produced a tight, highly respectable 1.5 to 2-inch grouping. The grouping bias leaned slightly high and a bit to the left of the center bullseye, but the consistency from shot to shot was remarkably uniform.

               [ X X X X X ] 
               [  X X X X  ]  --> 1.5" - 2" Grouping

View fullsize

Full-Automatic Accuracy (Burst Test)

Switching over to full-automatic, we aimed slightly low on the paper target and held down the trigger to run through a heavy burst of approximately 50 to 70 rounds until the spring drive ran clear.

Despite a couple of skipped cycles due to the mid-cap magazine running low on ammunition toward the end of the burst, the rifle punched a solid, definitive hole right through the target. The overall full-auto spread expanded slightly but stayed locked within a very consistent 3 to 4-inch grouping.

Operating Impressions

The mechanical performance of the G&G L85 Carbine leaves a distinct impression:

• Rate of Fire: Powered by an 11.1V 3-cell LiPo battery, the rate of fire is snappy and crisp, delivering exactly the kind of aggressive output you want from a high-quality AEG.

• Tactile Feedback: While it doesn't feature a true hard-kicking blowback system, the internal cycling produces a noticeable "shoulder tap" sensation, offering a bit more mechanical feedback than a standard, sterile AEG platform.

• Acoustics: It is worth noting that this is a relatively loud rifle. The gearbox and motor produce a distinct, metallic rattle with every cycle. It sounds robust and mechanical, but it is certainly not a weapon designed for stealth operations.

• Trigger Pull: As an electric switch trigger typical of premium AEGs, the break is highly responsive with virtually no take-up, allowing for quick follow-up shots in semi-auto mode.

Final Thoughts & Availability

The G&G L85 Carbine AEG Airsoft Rifle is an exceptionally solid performer, validating its premium design with excellent velocity consistency and tight groupings on the range.

In this field test, we put the Specna Arms SA-E04 AR15 AEG through its paces, focusing on its chronograph consistency and accuracy performance in both semi-automatic and full-automatic modes.

If you haven't already, be sure to check out the detailed table-top review where we cover the technical specifications, build quality, and close-up features of this highly affordable AR-styled Airsoft rifle.

Chronograph Testing

For this test, we utilized heavier 0.25g Airsoft BBs rather than standard 0.20g rounds.

• Shot 1: 363 FPS

• Shot 2: 362 FPS

• Shot 3: 363 FPS

• Shot 4: 363 FPS

• Shot 5: 362 FPS

Chronograph Verdict

The velocity consistency on this rifle is incredibly impressive, varying by only a single foot per second across consecutive shots. While 0.25g BBs clocked in around the 362–363 FPS mark, switching to standard 0.20g BBs will easily push this rifle well into the 400 FPS range.

Note on Compliance: The legal limit for an airsoft gun to be imported into Canada requires it to exceed 366 FPS with a 0.20g BB. Because this rifle clears that floor easily with heavier ammunition, it comfortably complies with Canadian import guidelines.

(Note: The SA-E04 includes an optional, lighter replacement spring in the box if you need to lower the velocity for local indoor CQB field limits).

Accuracy Testing

We set up a paper target at a distance of 30 feet to observe grouping behavior under a controlled, seated position.

View fullsize

Semi-Automatic Accuracy (10-Shot Group)

The initial 10-shot semi-automatic string produced a very respectable 1.5-inch grouping. The Specna Arms SA-E04 AR15 AEG grouped tightly and predictably, making it more than capable for indoor CQB fields or mid-range outdoor skirmishes.

Full-Automatic Accuracy (Burst Test)

Switching over to full-automatic, we sent a heavy volume of fire downrange (approx. 50 to 70 rounds). The mechanical grouping stayed reasonably tight at roughly 2 inches, though the placement shifted vertically.

Sight Alignment & Out-of-the-Box Adjustments

During the shooting test, the rifle consistently grouped low relative to the center mass of the target, striking about 8 to 9 inches below the point of aim.

Plaintext

[ Aim Point ]  -->  o (Top of Target)
                    |
                    | ~8-9 Inches Low
                    v
[ Impact Point ] --> X (Actual Grouping)

How to Correct It

Because the Specna Arms SA-E04 AR15 AEG shoots low out of the box, the iron sights require basic mechanical adjustment:

• To raise the point of impact, you must lower the front sight post.

• Lowering the front sight forces you to naturally elevate the barrel when aligning your sight picture, bringing the actual point of impact up to match your point of aim.

Alternatively, the top Picatinny rail makes it incredibly easy to bypass the stock iron sights entirely by mounting a red dot or optical sight.

Final Thoughts & Availability

For a bare-bones, budget-friendly Airsoft rifle, the Specna Arms SA-E04 is a durable, lightweight, and remarkably consistent performer. It offers out-of-the-box velocity stability that rivals much more expensive options, making it an excellent platform to build on.

The Steambow B08 .68 Caliber Tactical Crossbow offers a unique and entertaining option for target shooting. In this field test review, I tested the Steambow B08, a .68 caliber launcher that is designed to shoot paintballs, rubber balls, or foam balls. I wanted to test this 35-pound bow to see how it performs in terms of velocity and real-world accuracy at 30 feet downrange.

For ammunition, I tested two different types of projectiles: black rubber balls and soft yellow foam balls. These projectiles are very light, which means firing them feels almost like you are dry-firing the bow all the time. However, using them makes for a cheap way to have some fun plinking around, and you can easily collect and reuse the ammo.

Velocity testing through the chronograph produced some incredibly consistent, albeit unusual, numbers. I fired six shots in total, using three rubber balls followed by three foam balls. The Steambow B08 delivered readings of exactly 129 FPS for all six shots. Seeing six duplicate velocity readings in a row across two different types of ammo is something I don't think I've ever seen before! This suggests that the projectile weight is less important here, as the bow string only moves so fast. For those looking to get more energy downrange, you will definitely want to use heavier projectiles, like a steel ball, and swap out for a heavier limb. (The Steambow B08 comes with a 35 pound limb for reference).

View fullsize

Accuracy testing was performed from 30 feet downrange on a fresh paper target. I loaded the eight-round magazine with four black rubber balls and four soft foam balls. The Steambow B08 .68 Caliber Tactical Crossbow was hitting quite low at this 30-foot distance, forcing me to aim up at the top of the target just to get the shots on paper. The grouping was somewhat scattered all over the place, indicating that this is a launcher you probably want to be working with a little closer in, at around 20 feet would be better in terms of accuracy. Aiming is done using a built-in little green dot at the front, but there is no real sight adjustment to dial it in or change it. Optimally I would sugest putting a simple red dot sight on the picatinny rail.

Overall, the 35-pound Steambow B08 is built primarily for target shooting and is a great way to have fun with your buddies outside or even inside a garage. I definitely wouldn't want to shoot this for pest control unless you plan to upgrade to a heavier limb and denser ammo. For anyone looking for a cheap, fun plinker with reusable ammo, this launcher is a very entertaining choice.

The G&G ESG B10 2.0 continues to offer a truly unique experience for those looking for a bullpup-style gas Airsoft Shotgun. In this field test review for the RA Reviews channel, I tested the shotgun to see how it performs in terms of velocity and real-world accuracy at close range. Having already covered the specifications in the tabletop video, this test focuses on its live-fire performance using the 5-round burst mode. The ESG B10 2.0 has the ability to shoot either 5 or 10 rounds per trigger pull, and getting it on the range really shows off what this platform is meant to do. Checkout my Table. Top Review for details, specifications and more close up video.

For ammunition and setup, I used standard green gas and .25g airsoft BBs. Velocity testing through the chronograph produced some solid and expected numbers. The first shot registered a high of 238 FPS, which is very common on a fresh gas fill. After the gun settled down, it delivered consistent readings of 207 FPS, 206 FPS, and 209 FPS, averaging right around 215 FPS. When you are firing five .25g BBs simultaneously, that combined energy is more than enough for close-quarters engagements.

Accuracy testing was performed from 30 feet downrange using the 105-round mid-cap magazine. Since I didn't have any sights mounted on the G&G ESG B-10 2.0 Gas Airsoft Shotgun for this test, I relied on winging it by aiming slightly to the left to compensate for the spread. The shotgun fired reliably through the entire magazine, giving about 15 or so pulls of the trigger in the 5-round burst mode with a few 10 round burst shots added in. You will immediately know when you are out of ammunition or gas because the gun makes a noticeably different, very quiet sound when firing empty, which is a helpful audible cue during a match.

Overall, the G&G ESG B10 2.0 is a lot of fun and functions exactly as a close-quarters BB sprayer should. The trigger pull is on the heavier side, but it feels good and adds to the robust handling of the gun. The bullpup design makes it incredibly maneuverable for indoor CQB fields. While this review captures the core performance of the shotgun based on this specific field test, it's just a fragment of what this platform can do. You might consider exploring different optic setups on the top rail, experimenting with M-LOK foregrips, or even looking into HPA setups to unlock different aspects of its performance and allow for new play styles.

In terms of how many rounds actually hit the target? Well it’s hard to say, lots missed for sure! That’s not really the point of this type of close quarters shooter, as you want rounds to speed out and hit as many people as possible, so I would say the G&G ESG B-10 2.0 Gas Airsoft Shotgun worked as intended here.

Today, we are putting the Specna Arms SA-F249 to the test. If you haven't seen one yet, be sure to check out the detailed tabletop review and the outdoor shooting video I've already posted. Today, however, is all about the hard numbers. We are bringing it into the indoor sea can to check the chronograph performance and see what kind of accuracy we can squeeze out of this absolute beast on paper. Let's get right to it.

Chronograph Velocity Test

To start things off, I loaded up some quality 0.25g airsoft BBs to run through the chrony. This setup currently has a standard voltage adaptor, for the LED lighting system though my usual one died on me, so I’m running an adjustable voltage adapter.

After a brief, accidental full-auto burst (remember, this is a support weapon designed to lay down cover!), we dialed it in for some attempted single shots (super short trigger pulls) to get our baseline velocity readings.

Chronograph Results (0.25g BBs):

• Shot 1: 363 fps

• Shot 2: 364 fps

• Shot 3: 365 fps

• Shot 4: 362 fps

• Shot 5: 363 fps

• Shot 6: 365 fps

The consistency here is phenomenal. We are sitting right in that 363 to 365 fps sweet spot. For an AEG out of the box, seeing variance of only a couple of feet per second between shots is a testament to the internal air seal and overall build quality.

Full-Auto Accuracy Test

With the velocity dialed in, it was time to set up a paper target downrange. Because this is a sport based automatic weapon, there's no semi-auto selector that I could locate, it's meant to be fired in full auto, and that’s exactly how we tested it.

Instead of the massive 1500-round box magazine it comes with, I opted to run a standard AR-15 style magazine for this indoor test. I locked it in, aimed just below the center of the target, and let the spring unwind until the mag the spring could not push anymore Airsoft BB’’s out, dumping roughly 50 to 75 rounds in one continuous burst.

View fullsize

The Results: Absolutely incredible. For a full-auto dump of that size, you would normally expect the BBs to spray across the paper. a little bit Instead, the Specna Arms SA-F249 punched a jagged, blown-out hole right through the target, resulting in a remarkably tight 2-inch grouping.

To pump that many rounds into such a condensed area on full auto is outstanding. It proves that this gun isn't just about suppressing fire; it provides highly accurate, concentrated fire downrange.

Final Thoughts

The Specna Arms SA-F249 is an incredibly impressive piece of kit. It delivers laser-like consistency on the chronograph and lays down surprisingly tight groupings in full auto. If you are looking for a support weapon that doesn't compromise on accuracy, this one needs to be on your radar.

Today, we are checking out the second-generation Lil' Sure Shot Annie Oakley BB Rifle. This is essentially a Red Ryder-styled, spring-powered BB rifle.

If you are interested in seeing how this looks up close along with the specifications and details, make sure to check out the table-top video. Today is going to be all about shooting it.

Chronograph Velocity Test

To get started, I needed to warm up the chrony, which took a little bit of troubleshooting. I had an ongoing voltage issue with my chronograph lighting and had to use a voltage regulator set to almost exactly 7 volts to get it to work properly without a proper adapter.

Once the chrony was up and running, I put several rounds through the rifle to test the velocity. The velocity remained pretty consistent in the mid-300s, with shots recording at 341, 340, 333, 329, 334, and 332 fps. averaging out at 334.

View fullsize

Target Accuracy Performance

For the accuracy portion of the test, I set up a paper target 30 feet down range. Here is how the rifle performed:

• Grouping: After firing about 10 shots, the rifle got just over a two-inch grouping.

• Placement: The shots were well-centered from left to right, though it shot a little high even when aiming just under the bullseye. I noticed a few stray BBs came back, which happens if they hit metal instead of the cloth backboard, causing some high flyers. (This could of been me as the bulk of the shots all grouped really nicely)

• Sights & Adjustability: It can be a little tough on the eyes aiming black front and rear sights on a target when you need readers for most things, which may have contributed to some of those shots hitting slightly higher. You can adjust the elevation slightly by moving a little piece on the sight backward and forward to raise or lower it. The rifle also features a dovetail, allowing you to mount a nice optical sight or a red dot.

Trigger Pull & Feel

• Pull Weight: The trigger pull comes in at around 5 to 6 pounds.

• Action: It is fairly short with a pretty predictable break.

• Usability: It requires a little effort, but it is not a super hair trigger, making it perfect for youngsters who are just starting out with shooting.

Conclusion

Overall, the Annie Oakley Lil' Sure Shot delivers exactly what you want out of a classic, Red Ryder-styled spring-powered BB rifle: it's straightforward, reliable, and just plain fun to shoot. While you aren't going to get competition-level precision out of a smoothbore BB gun, holding a solid two-inch grouping at 30 feet and putting out very consistent mid-300s fps velocities proves that it is more than capable of handling your everyday plinking or indoor target practice.

What really makes this rifle shine is its accessibility. With a predictable 5 to 6-pound trigger pull that requires deliberate effort without being a super hair trigger, it is a fantastic option for youngsters who are just learning the fundamentals of shooting. Plus, the inclusion of a dovetail mount means there is room to grow with the shooter, you can easily slap a red dot on there if the standard black iron sights prove a bit too tough on the eyes against various target. If you are looking for an entry-level plinker that performs right where it should, this second-generation Lil' Sure Shot is a great place to start.

The Sig Sauer P320 Spectre Comp CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol takes the already popular P320 platform and adds a more tactical, competition-inspired look with the Spectre Comp styling. In this Field Test Review, I focused mainly on real-world shooting performance including velocity, accuracy, trigger feel, blowback action, and overall handling. If you want all the detailed specifications and close-up overview footage, make sure to also check out my Table Top Review video for this model.

For this test I used standard Sig Sauer lead pellets, estimated around 7–8 grains rather than lightweight alloy pellets, giving a more realistic idea of what shooters can expect during normal use. Despite some chronograph frustrations during testing, the pistol delivered fairly consistent velocities once everything settled down. Average readings for my five shots through the Chronograph came in at 270 FPS, with highs reaching about 286 FPS during the initial shots and my slowest shot was 260 FPS. Considering the cooling effect common with CO2-powered airguns, the consistency was actually quite respectable for a blowback pellet pistol.

Accuracy testing was performed at 30 feet using a standard paper target. I fired a full 10-shot group and overall results were solid for a blowback pellet pistol with a higher-capacity belt-fed magazine system. Most shots grouped within roughly 2 inches, although the full spread opened up closer to 2.5–3 inches when including a couple lower shots likely caused by slight velocity variation from CO2 cooldown. Horizontal consistency was very good, with only a slight tendency to drift left. For a rapid-fire capable CO2 pistol with blowback, the accuracy was more than acceptable.

View fullsize

One thing worth mentioning is the trigger feelof the Sig Sauer Spectre Comp. Since the trigger system also advances the pellet belt during firing, there is naturally a bit more friction and a slightly longer pull compared to some rotary magazine designs. Even so, the trigger never felt excessively heavy or unpleasant. Rapid follow-up shots were still easy to manage, and the realistic blowback action adds a lot to the shooting experience.

The 20-round belt-fed magazine system is one of the biggest advantages of the Spectre Comp over many traditional rotary magazine pellet pistols. Instead of dealing with smaller 8-shot or flip-around style magazines, you get a much more enjoyable shooting session with fewer reload interruptions. Combined with the realistic weight, solid balance, and satisfying blowback recoil impulse, this pistol ends up being a very fun and practical option for target shooting and action-style plinking.

If you are looking for a realistic training-style pellet pistol that combines blowback action, higher magazine capacity, and solid handling characteristics, the Sig Sauer P320 Spectre Comp CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol is definitely worth checking out. It offers a nice balance between realism and shooting fun while still delivering respectable accuracy and consistency for casual target shooting.

The Umarex T4E TP50 Gen 2 continues to impress as one of the more powerful and practical compact less-lethal pistols currently available. In this field test review, I tested the all-black version using .50 caliber rubber-steel core rounds to see how it performs in terms of velocity, energy, and real-world accuracy. The black version is essentially the same as the orange-marked variant, just marketed a bit differently, with a more tactical appearance that may appeal to those looking for a serious training or home defense-style option.

For ammunition, I used the steel-core rubber balls rather than standard solid rubber rounds. These projectiles are slightly heavier and seem to carry noticeably more energy downrange without sacrificing too much velocity. In my opinion, they are probably some of the best ammunition choices for these types of pistols if maximum impact energy is your goal.

Velocity testing through the chronograph produced some very impressive numbers. The TP50 Gen 2 delivered readings of 319 FPS, 304 FPS, 310 FPS, 300 FPS, and 308 FPS, averaging just over 308 feet per second. With the steel-core rubber rounds weighing approximately 2.7 grams, the pistol produced roughly 12-13 Joules of muzzle energy using the Steel Core Rubber Balls but would have been closer the projected 15 Joules with all Rubber Balls, which is extremely respectable for a compact CO2-powered .50 caliber launcher. You can really hear and feel the power when firing this pistol, and it even generates noticeable recoil-like kick during shooting.

Accuracy testing was performed from 30 feet downrange using the six-round internal magazine. Paintball-style projectiles are naturally less precise than pellets or BBs due to their softer construction, surface ridges, and aerodynamic inconsistencies, but the Umarex T4E TP50 Gen 2 still delivered surprisingly solid grouping performance. After adjusting my aim slightly low due to the pistol shooting a little high initially, the remaining shots grouped well into the center portion of the target and produced clean, sharp holes through the paper target with about a 3 inch grouping.

In practical terms, this pistol clearly delivers enough impact energy to strongly discourage an attacker or aggressive threat. The steel-core rubber rounds hit extremely hard, especially considering the combination of high velocity and projectile mass. While heavy clothing would certainly absorb some impact, anyone wearing lighter clothing would absolutely feel these rounds. The all-black appearance also adds to the realistic tactical styling, which alone could act as a deterrent before a shot is ever fired.

Overall, the Umarex T4E TP50 Gen 2 proved to be accurate enough for close-range defensive-style use, delivered excellent power, and offered reliable operation throughout testing. The trigger feels good, the pistol handles nicely, and the performance with steel-core rubber ammunition was impressive across the board. For anyone looking for a compact CO2-powered less-lethal launcher with strong energy output and solid build quality, the TP50 Gen 2 is definitely worth considering.

Despite a rocky start, my test with the Specna Arms SA-F249 machine gun did yield some eventual results. Initially, I set up multiple cameras (Three Sony Cameras, Insta360 X4, DJI Neo 2, Looki L1, Meta Ray-ban Gen 2) and planned a full-auto session aiming to empty the 1500-round magazine on a boat load of water filled cans. Unfortunately, the magazine’s feed malfunctioned, preventing the gun from firing as intended. Even so, I pivoted, swapping in an AR-15 magazine and still managed to get some satisfying shots on target. at the end of the video

It’s all part of the process: sometimes you get a lemon, but that doesn’t mean the day is totally lost. We did confirm that the gun itself works very well, and I hope to be revisiting this test with a new 1500 round magazine to give it a proper go. For now, at least we got a bit of action on those water-filled cans. Stay tuned for a follow-up, because I’m determined to show this LMG at its full potential!

The support weapon role in airsoft has always had a certain appeal, and the Specna Arms SA-F249 definitely delivers that intimidating LMG presence right out of the box. This massive AEG support rifle is styled after the legendary FN M249 platform and brings together high-capacity firepower, aggressive looks, and surprisingly good value for players wanting something beyond the typical AR-style airsoft rifle.

At first glance, the SA-F249 looks huge, but despite its size, it’s actually lighter than expected thanks to its reinforced polymer construction. Even so, it still feels substantial in the hands and gives off that true support weapon vibe the moment you shoulder it.

The version reviewed here comes equipped with the GATE X-ASR MOSFET system, a 1500-round auto-feeding electric box magazine, quick spring change capability, adjustable stock, integrated bipod, and multiple Picatinny rail sections for optics and accessories.

First Impressions

One of the first things noticed during the review was how different some components appeared compared to other online reviews. Some reviewers mentioned metal rear stock components while others claimed certain barrel sections were plastic. On this specific version, the rear stock assembly was definitely polymer, while the outer barrel appeared to be metal.

This kind of variation is fairly common with airsoft manufacturers over time as revisions and production updates happen.

Even with the extensive use of polymer, the Specna Arms SA-F249 FN Machine Gun AEG Airsoft Rifle still looks impressive and feels well-balanced considering its overall size. The carry handle, outer barrel, and several internal components are metal, while much of the receiver, stock, and furniture use reinforced polymer to help reduce overall weight.

View fullsize

Electric Auto-Feeding Box Magazine

The standout feature on the SA-F249 is definitely the included 1500-round electric auto-feeding box magazine. This is what transforms the rifle into a true support platform capable of sustained suppressive fire during milsim games or outdoor skirmishes.

The magazine runs on AA batteries and includes three operating modes:

• Off

• Auto

• Sound Control

The “Auto” mode activates the winding mechanism whenever the trigger is pulled, while the “Sound Control” mode intelligently detects pitch changes from the gearbox to determine when BBs stop feeding, automatically rewinding the internal spring system as needed. It’s actually a pretty clever setup and adds a lot to the realism and usability of the rifle.

Another nice touch is that the SA-F249 remains compatible with standard M4-style AEG magazines, allowing emergency reloads if needed.

View fullsize

Build Quality and Construction

The reinforced polymer construction helps keep the SA-F249 from becoming excessively heavy, especially for extended gameplay sessions. While some players may prefer more metal components for realism, there are advantages to quality polymer construction as well.

Polymer can sometimes absorb impacts better than brittle zinc alloy “pot metal” components commonly found in lower-end airsoft guns. The lighter weight may also reduce stress during accidental drops.

That said, there are still some concerns about long-term durability in specific areas, especially considering the rifle’s size and weight. I feel certain parts like the bipod and rear stock would have benefited from additional metal reinforcement.

View fullsize

Quick Spring Change System

The SA-F249 also includes a quick spring change system for easier FPS adjustments. Accessing the spring requires removing the rear stock assembly by pushing out the rear pins.

While the feature itself is excellent, the review sample had extremely tight rear pins that required minor drilling of the polymer mounting holes to improve fitment. Once removed, however, spring access was relatively straightforward.

Field Role and Gameplay Potential

The Specna Arms SA-F249 FN Machine Gun AEG Airsoft Rifle is clearly designed for players wanting to fill a support gunner role. The large magazine capacity, full-auto-only operation, integrated bipod, and intimidating LMG profile make it ideal for suppressive fire and milsim gameplay.

At roughly $400 Canadian, the SA-F249 also offers surprisingly solid value considering what’s included. Many mid-range AR-style AEGs can already approach the $200–$300 range, making the jump to a dedicated support weapon platform more reasonable than some players might expect.

Final Thoughts

The Specna Arms SA-F249 Machine Gun AEG is a very cool support weapon platform that delivers a strong mix of realism, functionality, and affordability. It may not be perfect, and some players will likely wish for more metal construction, but overall it offers excellent value for anyone wanting to step into the LMG support role without spending a fortune.

The 1500-round auto-feeding system alone will make this thing a blast to use, and combined with the MOSFET, quick spring change system, adjustable stock, and M4 magazine compatibility, the SA-F249 brings a lot to the table for milsim and support gun enthusiasts alike.

A full field test shooting review should be especially interesting with this one.

View fullsize

Build Quality & Design

The Sig Sauer P320 Spectre Comp CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol delivers a solid mix of metal and polymer construction. The metal slide gives it realistic weight and feel, while the polymer frame helps keep things balanced. At around 2.3 pounds, it has a substantial presence in hand without feeling overly heavy.

The grip features enhanced texturing along with a flared magwell, adding to both aesthetics and usability. The slide includes light porting and is optics-ready, allowing for easy installation of a SIG Air RMR red dot.

One standout visual element is the compensated muzzle, which adds to the competition-style look. However, it also impacts field stripping, you’ll need to remove it to fully disassemble the slide.

View fullsize

Magazine & CO2 System

This pistol uses a 20-round belt-fed rotary magazine, which is housed within a drop-out mag body. Loading is straightforward:

• Remove the rotary belt insert

• Load pellets into each chamber

• Reinsert into the mag

CO2 is loaded using a tool-free cam lever system, which is fast and convenient compared to traditional screw-in designs.

Important note: the magazine needs to be firmly seated. A light insertion may not lock it properly, and due to the weight, it could fall out if not fully engaged.

Also worth noting, while the outer mag housing has some polymer components, the internal structure is mostly metal. Still, avoid dropping it on hard surfaces.

View fullsize

Handling & Controls

• Ambidextrous safety works from both sides, though visual indicators are only clearly marked on one side

• Trigger feels closer to double-action due to the rotary magazine indexing

• Slide cycles with blowback but does not lock back when empty

• Takedown lever is present, but full disassembly is limited by the compensator

The trigger has a solid feel and requires deliberate pull due to the indexing mechanism. This is normal for belt-fed pellet systems.

View fullsize

Sights & Optics

The pistol comes with fixed white dot sights, which are effective for quick target acquisition. However, they are not adjustable.

For those wanting more precision, the pistol supports SIG Air RMR optics, replacing the rear sight with an included plate.

Performance Expectations

The claimed velocity is 340 FPS, which is typical for blowback pellet pistols. Expect slightly lower speeds with lead pellets (recommended) compared to alloy pellets.

Blowback operation will also consume more CO2 than non-blowback models, trading efficiency for realism.

If looking for a performance reference, similar results can be expected to the Sig Sauer M17 pellet pistol due to shared internals.

Important Setup Note (Very Easy to Miss)

Before using the Specna Arms SA-F04 Flex AEG Airsoft Rifle, you must activate the trigger system:

• Connect battery

• Set to safe

• Hold trigger for ~5 seconds until you hear a beep

If you skip this step, the rifle will just beep three times and not fire, making it seem defective.

Performance (Initial Impressions)

With an 11.1V LiPo battery, the rifle delivers:

• Fast trigger response

• High rate of fire

• Smooth cycling

Lower voltage batteries will reduce rate of fire and responsiveness, which may be preferable for some players.

Overall Impression

The Specna Arms SA-F04 Flex AEG Airsoft Rifle is a well-rounded entry-to-mid-level AEG that doesn’t cut corners where it matters. You get modern electronics, solid internals, and strong usability at a price point that’s hard to beat.

It’s especially appealing for players who:

Final Thoughts

This is one of those rifles that hits a sweet spot between affordability, performance, and features. It may not have full-metal construction, but in real-world use, that’s not necessarily a downside, and in some cases, it’s actually an advantage.

Field testing will ultimately determine how it performs under real conditions, but based on this overview, it’s a solid option worth considering.

It’s that time again, another Mystery Box unboxing for the Replica Airguns channel. As usual, no idea what’s inside going in, but this one lines up right after SHOT Show season, which usually means some interesting gear starts showing up.

This isn’t a full review, just a first look at what came in. Detailed Table Top and Field Test videos will follow once everything gets properly looked at and tested.

What’s in the Box?

This month’s box included three very different airsoft products:

View fullsize

1. KJ Works KP-13 CO2 Airsoft Pistol

A Glock-style pistol - but not a Glock.

First Impressions:

• Very familiar Glock-like ergonomics and controls

• Polymer frame with a metal slide

• Trigger safety and integrated accessory rail

• Front fiber optic sight, black rear sight

• Full-size drop-out magazine (CO2 powered)

It also came with a barrel extension, but it arrived with damaged threads. Not a huge loss since those extensions tend to be fragile anyway and aren’t essential for most users.

Takeaway:
If you're looking for a Glock-style platform without licensing restrictions, this fits the role well. Likely compatible with some Glock holsters depending on fit.

2. Specna Arms SA-F249 Machine Gun (ParaFlex)

This was the standout item, and easily the most unexpected.

First Impressions:

• Large, heavy, and very aggressive-looking

• FN M249-style light machine gun “replica” (Non trademarked)

• Battery-powered box magazine with hopper feed system

• Integrated bipod and carry handle

• Multiple Picatinny rails

• Includes extra spring and accessories

The feeding system and internal layout aren’t immediately obvious, it’s one of those guns that clearly requires some setup and understanding before use.

Takeaway:
This is not a casual backyard plinker. It’s a full-on support weapon platform, something you’d expect in a tactical or milsim environment.

3. Specna Arms SA-F04 FLEX Electric Airsoft Rifle (Gen 2)

A much more approachable and practical option compared to the F249.

First Impressions:

• AR-style AEG platform

• Mostly polymer construction with some metal components

• Adjustable stock (buffer tube style)

• Picatinny rails and M-LOK compatibility

• Comes with both orange and black flash hiders

• Includes extra spring (M90) for velocity tuning

• Dean’s connector

Takeaway:
This looks like an entry-level to mid-tier rifle, compact, lightweight, and ideal for someone getting into Airsoft or wanting a versatile CQB setup.

Overall Thoughts

This box had a good mix:

• Pistol platform (KP-13) → familiar, practical

• Entry-level rifle (SA-F04) → accessible and versatile

• Heavy support weapon (SA-F249) → niche, but very cool

The F249 clearly stole the show just based on size and complexity, but the SA-F04 is probably the one most people would actually use regularly.

What’s Next?

As usual:

• Tabletop reviews will come first (closer look, specs, handling)

• Field test shooting videos are stacking up and coming next
