How It Works

The Woodland Trail Model 1999 utilizes the proven spring-piston lever-action mechanism:

• No CO2 or Gas Required: Every shot is cocked and powered manually via the spring-piston system.

• Large Loop Lever: Cocking is smooth and easy thanks to the oversized loop lever.

• Massive Ammo Capacity: It holds up to 650 steel BBs in a top-loading internal reservoir.

• Gravity Fed: Tilting the rifle cocks and drops a BB into the loading mechanism, visible through a small viewport near the breach so you can confirm a round is chambered before firing.

Sights & Optics

Unlike traditional bare-iron lever guns, the Daisy Model 1999 comes equipped with several optical upgrades:

• Fiber Optic Front Sight: The bright front fiber optic sight makes target acquisition quick and clear against varying backgrounds.

• Adjustable Rear Sight: Step-adjustable for elevation (fixed for windage).

• Built-in Picatinny Rail: A dedicated top rail allows for easy mounting of compact red dot sights or low-power optics without needing custom brackets or adapters.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Extremely lightweight (2.2 lbs) and compact—perfect for youth and beginners.

• Durable, all-weather synthetic stock is moisture-resistant and low maintenance.

• Built-in Picatinny rail makes adding red dots or scopes simple.

• Bright fiber optic front sight aids quick target acquisition.

• Smooth, easy-cocking lever action with a large loop handle.

• Huge 650-round gravity-fed BB reservoir means less reloading downtime.

• 350 FPS velocity is safe and well-suited for supervised backyard plinking.

• No CO2 or gas cartridges required.

• Highly affordable entry-level price point.

Cons:

• Synthetic plastic cocking lever (a metal lever would feel more robust).

• Lower velocity compared to modern CO2-powered airguns.

• Rear sight adjusts for elevation only (no windage adjustment).

• BB ammo only and smoothbore barrel limits pinpoint precision to short plinking ranges.

• Basic spring action lacks the ultra-realistic shell-ejecting mechanics of higher-end replicas.

Today, we’re putting the Umarex P2P Secure 68P .68 Caliber Less Lethal Pistol to the test to see what kind of penetration and impact power it can deliver against a variety of real-world materials.

We already ran this pistol through our standard field and chronograph testing. Shooting a 3-gram .68 caliber nylon round, we clocked it right around 330 FPS (against the claimed 350 FPS rating), which places its output somewhere in that solid 15 to 19 Joules range. While it doesn't pack the massive 30-Joule punch of the larger T4E T68/TC68 rifle platform, it is significantly more compact, lightweight, and easy to handle.

Let’s see what happens when the P2P Secure 68P goes up against three different target surfaces: 3-ply construction plywood, a galvanized steel trash can lid, and a heavy-duty plastic bucket lid.

Target 1: The 3-Ply Plywood Test

We kicked things off with standard 3-ply plywood to test structural penetration.

• Shot 1 & 2: Firing a couple of quick rounds downrange, the nylon projectiles hit with high velocity and bounced right back. Both shots left clear, prominent surface impact marks and slight indentations on the wood face.

• The Verdict: Unlike the full-size T68 rifle—which punched clean through the board—the Secure 68P did not penetrate the 3-ply plywood. That said, it transferred a lot of kinetic energy onto the surface, leaving visible damage right where the rounds struck.

View fullsize

Target 2: The Galvanized Steel Challenge

Next up was the heavy-duty galvanized steel trash can lid. Steel is notoriously unforgiving, but it provides a great gauge of raw kinetic impact.

• The Impact: Firing a couple of rounds directly at the lower/center area of the lid resulted in loud, crisp strikes.

• The Verdict: The pistol put solid, noticeable dings and dents right into the steel. While it obviously won't punch clean through galvanized sheet metal like a rifle platform, you can see the sheer kinetic force behind these .68 caliber nylon balls.

Target 3: The Plastic Bucket Lid

For our final barrier test, we taped up a standard plastic bucket lid to see how the pistol interacts with a slightly more flexible polymer target.

• The Shots: We put a couple of rounds into the plastic lid, with one shot striking slightly higher near the reinforced rim and a follow-up round hitting cleanly in the center target area.

• The Verdict: While the rounds didn't punch clean through on the first couple of tries, the direct hit left a very deep, prominent divot stretched deep into the plastic. With a few concentrated shots in the same zone, it has more than enough energy to breach standard plastic containers.

Less-Lethal Defense & Deterrent Capability

Looking at these results, the Umarex P2P Secure 68P stands out as a highly capable and practical less-lethal home defense option.

• Practical Stopping Power: If an intruder or threat is heading your way, getting hit with a 3-gram .68 caliber nylon projectile traveling over 330 FPS is going to hurt tremendously. Against everyday clothing like t-shirts, jeans, or light jackets, it delivers immediate, painful deterrence that will make anyone rethink their direction.

• Ergonomics & Ease of Use: The pistol is super quick and intuitive to reload with spare magazines, uses a standard trigger safety, and offers manageable recoil while maintaining sufficient defensive energy.

The Umarex P2P Secure 68P continues to impress as a serious, compact less-lethal option designed for personal defense and deterrence. In this field test review, I put this .68 caliber less-lethal launcher through its paces in our indoor range to test real-world velocity, energy output, and target accuracy under typical room-temperature conditions (around 20°C / 68°F). Watch my full Table Top Video here for details and close up video.

Chronograph & Power Test

For the velocity test, I loaded up 3-gram nylon .68 caliber rounds powered by a fresh 12g CO2 cartridge. Out of the box, the Secure 68P claims a velocity of approximately 350 FPS and around 19 Joules of muzzle energy.

Shooting a full 6-round magazine through the chronograph produced very consistent readings across the board:

• Shot 1: 336 FPS

• Shot 2: 320 FPS

• Shot 3: 326 FPS

• Shot 4: 315 FPS

• Shot 5: 314 FPS

• Shot 6: 332 FPS

The velocity held together surprisingly well across the entire magazine with minimal drop-off. Taking our top speed reading of 336 FPS with 3-gram rounds, the P2P Secure 68P generates a maximum muzzle energy output well above 15 Joules (getting reasonably close to the claimed 19 Joules), which delivers plenty of impact energy for a compact CO2-powered launcher.

View fullsize

Accuracy Testing

Moving on to accuracy, I set up a paper target downrange at 30 feet and fired six rounds using the same CO2 cylinder.

Because .68 caliber nylon rounds and paintball-style projectiles lack the precision aerodynamics of steel BBs or lead pellets, they naturally tend to wander slightly. However, placing my sights right underneath the bullseye yielded an impressive 5-inch grouping for all six shots.

The elevation for the Umarex P2P Secure 68P was nearly spot-on straight out of the box at 30 feet, delivering consistent, centralized placement on the target.

Practical Takeaways & Performance

• Trigger Pull: The trigger is on the heavier and longer side, particularly on the initial pull as it punctures the CO2 cartridge. While a heavy trigger requires controlled pressure during slow target practice, it serves as a practical safety feature to prevent accidental discharges in high-stress situations.

• Less-Lethal Deterrent: The combination of strong velocity, 3g round density, and compact form factor makes this launcher an effective, highly portable less-lethal option.

• Upcoming Tests: Stay tuned for our upcoming field test video where we take the Secure 68P through a full penetration and damage assessment against 3-ply plywood, galvanized steel garbage can lids, and heavy plastic bucket lids.

First Look & Overview In this table top review, we are taking a look at the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS Full Blowback CO2 4.5mm BB Pistol. We will be focusing purely on the table-top aspects for this video, so there is no active shooting featured here; a dedicated field test shooting video will be coming down the road. As a fully licensed replica from Umarex, it offers all the authentic Gen 5 styling and markings you would expect. Today, we are specifically looking at the full blowback version, which prioritizes a true-to-life shooting experience and heavy recoil simulation over pure power and efficiency.

Specifications

• Caliber: 4.5mm steel BBs

• Action: Single action, full blowback

• Magazine: 17-round drop-out magazine

• Power Source: 12-gram CO2

• FPS: Maximum 300 FPS

• Weight: 1.5 lbs (680 grams)

• Length: 7.95 inches (20.2 cm)

• Barrel: 4-inch (10 cm) smooth bore

View fullsize

Build Quality & Design The Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS features an incredibly realistic design, boasting a heavy metal slide paired with a durable polymer frame. It completely matches the heft of its real steel counterpart, weighing in at a solid 1.5 pounds, and feels very comfortable in the hand. The slide comes with the signature Gen 5 front serrations and cycle.s completely back during operation, opening the ejection port fully to reveal the wide open magwell

Magazine & Loading System Loading the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS BB Pistol is straightforward. It utilizes a heavy, full-size drop-out magazine that holds 17 rounds of 4.5mm steel BBs. The magazine follower can be pulled down and easily locked in place with a quick flick, making loading incredibly fast. Unlike partial blowback models where the magazine pulls forward to seal the breech, this model utilizes a traditional Airsoft-style follower-fed system where the slide simply strips the BB and loads it directly into the breech. While this design is less CO2 efficient and results in slightly less power, it is essential for delivering that complete, highly realistic full blowback action.

Handling & Controls True to the Glock platform, the handling on this replica is extremely authentic. It incorporates an ambidextrous slide catch release that smoothly locks the heavy slide rearward when the magazine runs empty. The single-action trigger pull is relatively light and short. In terms of safeties, it has the classic built-in trigger safety, but Umarex has also integrated an additional cross-bolt safety directly onto the trigger. While it functions well, it can be slightly awkward to push flush and disengage with your finger when you are preparing to shoot.

View fullsize

Sights & Optics This specific MOS (Modular Optic System) version truly shines when it comes to aiming options. Out of the box, it comes equipped with the standard fixed white-dot front and rear sights for easy target acquisition. However, the package also includes an Allen key and four different adapter plates, allowing you to seamlessly mount a variety of micro red dot sights directly to the slide. If you want to add more accessories, the built-in lower rail easily accommodates tactical lights or lasers.

Performance Expectations The Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS Full Blowback CO2 4.5mm BB Pistol operates with a heavy focus on realism. Because the heavy metal slide travels all the way back with every shot, you get a very satisfying simulated recoil. However, this heavy action demands a significant amount of CO2. As a result, you can expect a slightly lower velocity, coming in at around 300 FPS, and fewer overall shots per CO2 cartridge compared to partial blowback models.

View fullsize

Pros

• Realistic Replica in looks, weight, and full blowback function.

• Good weight and feel to it, build quality seems excellent as with all the Umarex Licensed Glocks.

• Really nice looking and full featured replica of the original Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS.

• Fully Glock licensed via Umarex.

• Easy to see white dot sights front and back.

• Recessed barrel for added realism.

• Accessory rail under barrel for adding a laser or tactical light.

• Full slide travel blowback action provides a true, hard-recoil shooting experience.

• Can be field stripped just like the real steel version.

• Cross Bolt Safety built into the trigger.

• Full size drop out metal magazine that holds the CO2 and 4.5mm steel BBs.

• Slide spring is super snappy and firm, giving an exceptionally crisp and authentic recoil effect.

• Warning instructions are nice and discreet under trigger guard.

• Lighter, true single-action trigger pull as the full blowback slide cocks the internal striker on every cycle.

Cons

• Full blowback action decreases CO2 efficiency, resulting in fewer shots per cartridge.

• Slightly lower velocity (300 FPS) due to the heavy slide action.

• No adjustable sights out of the box without mounting a red dot.

View fullsize

Final Thoughts The Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS is a fantastic option for anyone who values maximum realism and training utility over raw FPS. While you do trade some CO2 efficiency for the heavy slide travel, the simulated recoil and authentic handling make it an incredibly enjoyable Airgun to shoot. The inclusion of the MOS plates is a massive bonus for modern shooters wanting to run optics. Stay tuned for the upcoming shooting video to see exactly how this performs down range.

First Look & Overview In this table top review, we are taking a look at the Marksman Spring BB / Pellet / Dart Pistol, an inexpensive and versatile option for backyard and basement plinking. This model is primarily constructed with a plastic exterior shell, housing a single-stroke spring-piston power plant. Coming in at around $50 CAD, this is not a high-end replica, but it offers a highly accessible shooting experience with the ability to handle multiple types of ammunition.

View fullsize

Specifications

• Caliber: 4.5mm Steel BBs, .177 Caliber Pellets, & Darts

• Action: Single-stroke spring piston, break-barrel style loading

• Magazine: 18-round BB reservoir (single-shot for pellets and darts)

• Power Source: Spring piston

• FPS: Maximum 200 FPS

• Weight: ~1 lb (454 grams)

• Overall Length: 9 inches

• Construction: Mostly plastic exterior with internal metal components

• Sights: Fixed fiber optic sights (front and rear)

• Safety: Cross-bolt safety

View fullsize

Build Quality & Design The Marksman Spring BB / Pellet / Dart Pistol features a lightweight, predominantly plastic external construction. While it lacks the substantial heft of full-metal replicas, weighing in at just 1 pound, it feels quite comfortable in the hand. The grip has a nice texture and isn't overly thick, making it suitable for shooters with smaller hands even though the pistol maintains a slightly bulky, blocky 1911-style appearance. Despite the external plastic shell, the internal spring piston system and critical mechanical components are made of metal.

View fullsize

Magazine & Loading System Loading this pistol is a unique process. It features a built-in 18-shot internal reservoir for 4.5mm steel BBs. To fire, the rear section of the slide is pulled back to activate the spring piston. Pushing the top portion forward opens the breech in a break-barrel fashion, allowing access to the loading bay. When using BBs, they drop in from the internal reservoir. If you are shooting pellets or darts, you will load them one at a time directly into the breech. An included rubber speed-loader accessory lets you easily drop BBs into the reservoir by simply pinching it, a convenient feature that saves loading time.

Handling & Controls Operating this spring piston pistol requires manual cocking before every shot. The slide is used to cock the internal spring, and the trigger features a skeletonized design within a built-in fairly heavy trigger guard. The trigger pull is decent but requires a deliberate press. The cross-bolt safety effectively locks the trigger, ensuring that the pistol cannot be fired once cocked and loaded until you have disengaged it. (Mine did have an issue)

View fullsize

Sights & Optics The Marksman Spring BB / Pellet / Dart Pistol comes equipped with fixed fiber optic sights on both the front and the rear. This makes target acquisition noticeably easier, especially against various backgrounds or in lower light conditions. The sights are fixed and non-adjustable, and the pistol even though it looks like it does, it does not include accessory rails for mounting aftermarket optics or lasers.

Performance Expectations This airgun is not built for shattering power records, boasting a maximum velocity of around 200 FPS. Because of its low power output, it is very quiet to operate, making it ideal for close-range indoor plinking or backyard target shooting where noise is a concern. The spring piston action means there is no CO2 to buy, keeping your operating costs extremely low.

Pros

• Very affordable (around $50 CAD)

• No CO2 required; low ongoing operating cost

• Versatile ammo compatibility (shoots BBs, pellets, and darts)

• 18-round internal BB reservoir

• Included quick-load pinch accessory for BBs

• Fiber optic sights front and rear

• Lightweight and easy to handle for various hand sizes

• Quiet operation ideal for indoor or backyard shooting

Cons

• Low velocity (max 200 FPS)

• Predominantly plastic exterior construction

• Requires manual cocking for every single shot

• Fixed, non-adjustable sights

• No accessory rails

View fullsize

Final Thoughts The Marksman Spring BB / Pellet / Dart Pistol isn't about raw power or ultra-realistic blowback action. It's an accessible, budget-friendly airgun that doesn't require extra CO2 purchases. With the ability to shoot multiple types of ammo and a convenient included BB loader, it delivers straightforward, simple fun. Stay tuned for the upcoming field test shooting video to see exactly how this performs down range.

Today, we are focusing on a heavy hitter in the home defense category: the Umarex P2P Secure 68P Less Lethal Impact Pistol. As is standard for our Table Top videos, we won't be doing any actual firing today, that’s saved for the upcoming Field Test, but we are going to dive deep into the design, features, and feel of this .68 caliber device.

Built around the paintball concept but strictly intended as a less-lethal deterrent, the Secure 68P is designed to handle everything from nylon and heavy rubber rounds to pepper, powder, and glass-breaker balls. Umarex also includes a fantastic zippered soft-shell case to keep the pistol and all your included starter ammo neatly organized.

View fullsize

Specifications

• Projectile Size: .68 Caliber.

• Firing Mechanism: Double-action only trigger.

• Gas System: 12-gram CO2 (housed inside the drop-out magazine).

• Capacity: 6-round removable metal magazine. (Available 9 round extended magazines)

• Muzzle Velocity: Approximately 350 FPS (pushing around 19 Joules or 14 ft-lbs of energy).

• Materials: Durable plastic/polymer outer frame and slide; solid metal internal housing, barrel, and magazine.

• Sights: High-visibility, non-adjustable fiber optic sights (front and rear).

Build Quality & Design

When you pick up the Secure 68P, the first thing you'll notice is its sheer size. It has a much chunkier, bulkier footprint compared to standard 1:1 replica sidearms, but that extra mass gives it a commanding presence. While the outer frame and the slide itself are constructed from a tough, lightweight plastic, Umarex didn't skimp where it counts. The internal framework, the barrel, the trigger mechanism, and the fully removable magazine are all forged from solid metal, giving the pistol a very balanced, sturdy feel in the hand.

View fullsize

Handling & Controls

Operating this less-lethal device is straightforward and geared toward high-stress scenarios. Everything centers around the full-metal drop-out magazine, which houses your six rounds of .68 caliber ammunition. The 12-gram CO2 cartridge sites right under the barrel built into the slide loaded from the front (by the way the Magazine doubles as the CO2 tightening tool). Because the gun relies entirely on a double-action trigger and lacks a blowback feature, 100% of the CO2 pressure is channeled directly into launching the heavy projectiles making it worth the slightly heavier trigger pull.

The trigger pull itself is relatively smooth, though you will definitely notice a heavier initial pull on that very first shot once the CO2 is pierced. For added utility, there is a standard Picatinny rail located beneath the muzzle, making it incredibly easy to attach a tactical flashlight or laser to help you navigate dark areas.

View fullsize

Sights & Optics

To assist with aiming in low-light environments, the Secure 68P is outfitted with bright fiber-optic sights on both the front and the back. While they are fixed and cannot be adjusted for windage or elevation, they do an excellent job of gathering ambient light, ensuring you can acquire your target quickly when you need to most.

View fullsize

Performance Expectations

This impact pistol is built for raw stopping power. Pushing a massive .68 caliber projectile at roughly 350 FPS yields an impressive 19 Joules of energy. Whether you load it with dense nylon balls or heavy rubber rounds, you can expect significant blunt-force trauma upon impact. I am incredibly eager to get this beast into the indoor shooting range to test its actual chrony numbers and accuracy on a paper target. Perhaps there will also be a future penetration test on a variety of object.

View fullsize

Pros

• Outstanding less-lethal alternative for home defense and property protection.

• Huge .68 caliber bore size delivers maximum energy transfer.

• Produces an intimidating 19 Joules of raw power.

• Heavy-duty metal drop-out magazine adds to the overall weight and feel while allowing for quick reloading .

• Bright fiber-optic sights are perfect for dimly lit environments.

• Under-barrel Picatinny rail allows for quick mounting of tactical lights and lasers.

• Ships with a high-quality zippered case and a starter pack of CO2 and various impact rounds.

View fullsize

Cons

• The overall profile is quite large and bulky compared to standard firearm replicas.

• The double-action trigger pull can feel a bit long and heavy especially on the initial shot.

• Fixed sights offer no adjustability.

• The lack of a blowback slide means it won't simulate the realistic recoil of a traditional firearm or have that single action easy trigger.

View fullsize

Final Thoughts

If you are in the market for a dedicated home-defense tool that you can comfortably keep in a nightstand, the Umarex P2P Secure 68P deserves a serious look. It trades the intricate realism of a 1:1 blowback replica for raw, unadulterated stopping power. The combination of its massive .68 caliber projectiles and 19 Joules of energy makes it a highly effective deterrent.

View fullsize

Build Quality & Design

The ASG CZ P-10 C delivers a solid mix of materials with its metal slide and nylon frame construction. The metal slide gives it a realistic, top-heavy weight and feel, while the nylon frame keeps the overall weight balanced at a manageable 1.63 pounds. The full metal 22-round magazine, which houses the 12g CO2 cartridge, adds substantial weight to the grip, giving the gun a very realistic presence in the hand.

Field stripping is incredibly simple and authentic to the real steel version—just pull down the two tabs and rack the slide forward to remove it. While the most of the frame components are mostly plastic, the heavy metal slide ensures durability where it counts.

This pistol is designed with ergonomics and modern handling in mind. It features mostly ambidextrous controls, including an ambidextrous slide catch and release. While the magazine release comes set up for right-handed shooters, it is completely reversible. The pistol includes a working trigger safety and comes with three interchangeable backstraps, allowing you to customize the grip size to perfectly fit your hand.

One of the standout design choices on this airgun is the hop-up adjustment. Instead of having to field strip the pistol to make adjustments, you can access the hop-up wheel directly through the open ejection port when the slide is locked back, a massive time-saver during gameplay.

Sights & Optics

Out of the box, the ASG CZ P-10 C is optics-ready and comes with an optics plate already installed on the slide. If you prefer to run standard iron sights, ASG includes a rear white-dot sight in the box that you can easily swap out by removing the plate. It also features a fixed white-dot front sight for quick target acquisition.

Additionally, the gun features a 14mm CCW threaded outer barrel right out of the box, hidden under a protective orange cap. This makes it instantly ready to accept a mock suppressor or a tracer unit once the cap is removed.

Performance Expectations

With a claimed velocity of around 330 FPS (1.05 Joules) using a 12g CO2 cartridge, it hits perfectly within standard indoor CQB limits while still offering enough power for outdoor play. Because it features full blowback operation paired with a fairly heavy metal slide, you can expect a very crisp, realistic recoil effect with every shot.

Final Thoughts

The ASG CZ P-10 C CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a modern, feature-rich sidearm. It bridges the gap perfectly between a realistic training tool and a highly capable Airsoft primary or secondary. The inclusion of an installed optics plate, a threaded barrel, and a hop-up that doesn't require field stripping shows that ASG really thought about the end-user when designing this replica. I'm looking forward to getting this out for the field test to see how that heavy slide cycles and this Airsoft Pistol tests out on the Chrony and Paper Target.

Hey everyone, Michael here from Replica Airguns. We’ve got another July unboxing video for you! If you're wondering why we have two in the same week, I recently realized I had a tiny mystery box video (featuring the ASG CZ P10C) all finished and ready to go, but I completely forgot to hit publish on it. Better late than never!

After getting a little low on review gear in the warehouse, I decided to bring in a new, medium-sized box of goodies to test out. Here’s a quick look at the highlights of what just landed.

Gear Stock Copper-Coated BBs

First out of the box, we have some Gear Stock copper-coated steel BBs. I typically prefer using zinc-alloy BBs, but I haven't used this specific brand specifically. I’m eager to run these through a few tests to see how they perform and whether they may corrode long term leave any black residue in the barrel or on the gun.

Umarex P2P Secure 68P Impact Defense Kit

Next up is the Umarex Prepare to Protect (P2P) Secure 68P, a .68 caliber less-lethal impact defense kit. Right off the bat, the packaging screams quality, it comes in a really nice, durable nylon soft case.

Inside, you get a great variety of ammunition to load into its 6 round metal magazine:

• 6 glass breaker impact rounds

• 6 powder practice rounds

• 6 rubber impact rounds

The pistol itself features a double-action trigger, runs on 12g CO2 (which they thoughtfully include in the kit), and fires at a velocity of around 350 FPS. It has a great weight and feel to it, and I'm looking forward to getting this on the chronograph.

Daisy Woodland Trail Western Carbine (Model 1999)

Finally, we have something that’s just pure fun: the Daisy Woodland Trail Western Carbine 1999. It's a classic lever-action BB rifle but with a modern, outdoorsy twist.

Instead of the traditional wood look, this model features a really cool green stock with a matching trigger. It also brings some nice upgrades to the table, including a Picatinny rail for mounting a red dot or optical scope, a fiber optic front sight, and an adjustable rear sight for elevation. It holds a massive 650 BBs and shoots right around 350 FPS. I haven’t shot one of these green stock versions yet, and I already know it's going to be a blast for backyard plinking.

What's Next?

Stay tuned because dedicated tabletop and field test shooting videos for all of these products are coming up very soon! You know I love shooting these lever-action rifles, so expect a detailed breakdown once I get them out in the yard or here in the sea can Airgun range.

As always, you can find these items available in both our Canada and US stores. Thanks for watching, and don't forget to subscribe to the YouTube channel and follow us across our social media platforms so you don't miss the full reviews!

What’s Inside the Box?

Don't let the compact packaging fool you, ASG bundled everything you need to get configured. Along with the pistol and the CO2 magazine, you get a user manual, a discrete rear iron sight option (with white dots matching the front sight), and interchangeable backstraps (small, medium, and large) so you can customize the grip to your exact hand size. Pro tip: If you're looking for the Allen keys to swap the sights or load the CO2, make sure to lift up the cardboard packaging, they are buried safely underneath the box!

What’s Coming Next on the Channel

I am hard at work keeping fresh content rolling your way. Alongside a full tabletop review and upcoming field test for this CZ P10C, I am also working on a highly requested follow-up video for the .68 caliber less-lethal platform. I'll be re-doing the penetration test using a massive 88g CO2 tank to see if the increased capacity gives us a significant performance boost over the dual 12g setup that may have not been at full capacity for my first test..

Stay tuned for both of those videos dropping shortly!

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.

View fullsize

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.

View fullsize

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.

View fullsize

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.

View fullsize

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
