Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex - KWA H&K MP7 A1 is single action only as the charging handle has to be pulled back to open and release the bolt for the first shot fired. There is a trigger safety that must be engaged to fire, but it is not noticeable when shooting this Airsoft PDW. There is a short take-up and then a nice light release and short reset.
Accuracy: I was able to get decent accuracy in both semi auto and full auto burst with my H&K MP7 due to the mild to medium blowback. I would say I shot somewhere in the 2-3 spread with my 10 shot grouping from 20 feet out. When I do my full Field Test Shooting Review I will take it back a bit further and shoot form 30 feet out. I did get a bit higher then claimed fps right up into the 400 fps range when testing the Umarex - KWA H&K MP7 A1 on my Chronograph.
Build Quality: The Umarex - KWA H&K MP7 A1 Airsoft PDW is built extremely well, using near exact components that you would find on the real HK MP7, yes it has a plastic or polymer shell but that is what you would find on the 4.6mm x 30 real steel version. The Umarex MP7 Airsoft PDW does use lots of metal where it needs to be like in the internal housing, pins, bolt, barrel, rails and even the magazine. The fit and finish is bang on, this gun is as solid as they come!
Realism: I have to say the Umarex - KWA H&K MP7 A1 is pretty much a bang on copy of the real steel H&K MP7. The only telltale sign is the Umarex branding and warning label on the right side receiver, even the 6mm caliber markings are near impossible to make out on the underside right beside the serial number plate. Of course the red flash hider is a big "red flag" that takes away form the realism but for us here in Canada, a bit of red paint is all that is needed to fix that problem. just be aware that the flash hider is really glued on tight so plan that project accordingly!
Excellent attention to detail with lots of working parts.
Full H&K licensing and markings.
Good overall 400 fps power for a short barreled gas blowback gun.
Very nice trigger with working trigger safety.
Lots of metal parts where they need to be and would be on the real K&H MP7 PDW.
Semi auto & full auto selectable.
High capacity GBB magazine (40 rounds)
Sights are fully adjustable and offer two positions.
Built in for-grip and rear slide-out stock
Easy access to hop up system.
Cons:
Came with the orange tip, you may want to paint it. (hard to get off as it is glued on!)
May be too powerful for CQB skirmishes without some detuning.
Comments:
I really like the Umarex - KWA H&K MP7 A1 Airsoft PDW, it's my kind of Airsoft gun! I love the modern look, I love the features and the price is also really good for what you are getting here, a GBB gun that is super versatile and can be used in close our out at range. The build quality is what impressed me the most, this Airsoft gun is super solid, that combined with the attention to every detail would fool just about anyone that it's not the real deal until a very close inspection is done:) The Umarex - KWA H&K MP7 A1 reminds me of the other ASG MP9 KWA built PDW I reviewed earlier, they are like two peas in a pod but both with their own unique personalities.
I managed to acquire another Russian made Nickel Baikal MP-654K CO2 BB Pistol, the last one that came my way was back in September of 2012 and I am really surprised I got my hands on another one to be honest so if you missed out on the last one, now is your chance!
This 2004 Baikal Makarov Nickel MP-654K BB Pistol is in brand new condition and comes with the original box, manual, tools and o-rings. I have test fired it and it works great and holds CO2 with no leaks.
If you want the background info I encourage you to checkout the review videos I have already made for my own person exact version of this gun right down to the same production year:

I will be doing proper Table Top and Field Test Videos for each of these Airsoft guns as soon as I can get to them all, starting with the Umarex Gas Blowback H&K MP7 A1 Airsoft PDW so stay posted for these upcoming video reviews...
I finally got out to shoot my Wyoming Arms Parker 10mm S.S. and it worked pretty well for me, the kick was hard but the design of this 10mm pistol helps reduce recoil so the recoil was not really all that much more than shooting a .45 or .40 caliber. If you have not watched my Wyoming Arms Parker 10mm S.S. Pistol Real Steel Overview then make sure to do so... I did have a few of my reload rounds that seemed to give me a bit of trouble but other than that the Wyoming Arms shot very well for me and was extremely accurate.
I also brought along my little ISSC M22 .22LR shooting Glock look-a-like to keep some of my shooting costs down since the 10mm are so expensive I needed to recoup some of my costs shooting the super affordable .22LR ammo. And yes I have a full Table Top Review for the ISSC M22 so check that one out if you're in the market for a fairly low cost .22LR that looks a lot like a Glock.
I had a great time and we got to shot some other guns while we where at the gun range; Walther P38 9mm, Glock 22 .40 Caliber, Sig Sauer Mosquito .22LR and the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 .22LR in all.
After many many requests to show how the Umarex Walther PPK CO2 Tab Modification is done I have relented to public demand. I don't actually cut my tab in this PPK CO2 Tab Modification Video but I do go step-by-step in detail and compare my modified Umarex PPK to my unmodified Umarex PPK. It is really very basic on how this is done and only a hack say and perhaps a file are all that is required to make the modifications to the PPK CO2 tab in order to make it flush with the bottom of the handle area.
Your best bet is to simply watch my YouTube Video located below and follow the steps there but here it is in text form:
Place an empty (already pierced) CO2 into your Umarex Walther PPK and tighten the unmodified CO2 tab until fully tightened, just like you would tighten a fresh CO2.
Take note at how many threads are exposed between the bottom of the handle and the top of the plastic CO2 tab, there should be about 2-4 threads exposed.
Unscrew the CO2 tab all the way, place the PPK BB Pistol so it is secure (in a vice of some sort) and use a hacksaw or dremel to shorten the CO2 screw just above the plastic tab at the thread location you previously noted. Be conservative as you can always cut or file the screw a bit shorter if your first cut was not short enough.
Now use the same hacksaw or dremel to cut a notch in the exposed cut area of the CO2 screw so that you can use a slot screwdriver to tighten the CO2 screw.
That's it - Enjoy your modified Umarex Walther PPK CO2 BB Pistol!
Watch my Vimeo Video of the Umarex Walther PPK CO2 Tab Modification Tutorial:
Every once in a while something goes wrong and your favorite BB shooter stops working as it should :( One of the most common problems I see with many of the full blowback BB and Airsoft pistols are BB's getting stuck in the gas tube. This is because this style of gun loads a BB into the breach area of the barrel every time you rack the slide forward. Of course this is only when there are BB's in the magazine.
The semi auto style of these guns is similar to that of a real gun, the blowback operates the slide which in turn moves back and then forward and loads a BB into the chamber. With a real gun, if you where to rack the slide manually again without shooting it, the chambered round would be ejected by the extractor but with a BB gun there is no extractor because there is no spent shell to eject. So multiple BB's can be loaded into the chamber area of the barrel overloading it and if the BB's have nowhere to go they just jam up and often go back into the gas tube which can cause all kinds of problems...
In this Cybergun KWC Tanfoglio Witness 1911 Stuck BB Removal Tutorial Video, I show you how to remove a BB or even multiple BB's from the gas tube area which in short requires; the removal of the slide and guid rod and spring so that you can push the gas tube forward and shake the BB out of the front of the gas tube.
Watch my Vimeo Video on how to remove a stuck BB from the Gas Tube on my Tanfoglio Witness 1911.
Testing out the ASG - Marushin CZ 75 Blowback Shell Ejecting Airsoft Pistol was not an easy one but I did manage to get thorough it! First there was the setup, I could not shoot the ASG Shell Ejecting CZ 75 Airsoft pistol on my deck or I would have fore sure lost most of my shell casings for it. So I decided to setup camp in my pool area where I have a nice large flat area off to one side, I put down a ginormous tarp in hopes to catch the radically flying shells but even this failsafe did not catch them all as I later found out ;)
As with most of my Field Test Shooting videos, I usually do a bit of a pre test to make sure the gun is functioning properly and so I shot a full magazine of my brass shells through the ASG CZ 75 and it worked like a charm, of course when I started recording the live video it decided not to work at all and I still do not know why? I was able to revert back to the plastic shell casing that came with my ASG CZ 75 Blowback Shell Ejecting Airsoft Pistol and they seemed to be working so I went with them for my testing. Interestingly enough the brass shells got much higher fps (around 300+) when I did my pretest compared to around the 250 average fps I was getting with the plastic shell casings.
Shooting on target proved to be better than I though once I raised my sight point up a bit, the gun likes to shoot a bit low but once I found the sweet spot I got three rounds within about 3/4 of an inch from just over 20 feet away in a semi rested position.
I would not recommend this Airsoft gun as an everyday shooter and there is no way you could use it in any type of Airsoft simulation as the ejected shell casings would get lost for sure and the cost to shoot the ASG CZ 75 would get very high indeed! It would be good for use in a movie or video where you wanted the realistic look of shells being ejected and did not want to use a blank gun or render the shells in post. And of course it is just really cool to have an Airsoft gun that has ejecting shells :)
Materials: Plastic slide & frame, some metal parts.
Weight: 1.4 pounds (616 grams).
Barrel: Metalnon-rifled smooth bore.
Propulsion: Propane, green gas.
Action: Blowback, single action only.
Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 8 rounds.
FPS: 279+ fps.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the ASG CZ 75 Shell Ejecting Airsoft Replica is single action only, unlike the real steel version that actually has a single and double action trigger. The single action trigger has a light to medium pull but does have a fair bit of take-up to it.
Accuracy: I did not pre-test the ASG CZ 75 as the shells fly everywhere and you really need to be able to retrieve them afterwards as the cost to replace the shell casing is rather high. I do plan to do a full Shooting Field Test where I will shoot the ASG Shell Ejecting CZ 75 through the chronograph, place some shots on a target and also capture the action of this pistol in slow motion with a high speed camera. So stay posted for that. I can say that from the few shots taken in my house, that it seems to shoot pretty hard and the shells really com flying out of this gun with force, I also noticed that a BB does have to be loaded into each shell for there to be enough back pressure to allow for a full slide blowback and ejection of each shell.
Build Quality: Even though this gun is made mostly out of plastic and from what I can tell is also made in Taiwan, it has a very good overall fit and finish. The slide slop is next to none and the licensing and markings look great. There are metal parts where they really need to be like in the barrel, hammer, trigger, safety, slide catch, magazine and a few other internal parts.
Realism: The ASG Shell Ejecting CZ 75 Airsoft Pistol is one of the most ultra realistic Airsoft pistols I have seen and mimics a real steel gun right down to the shells being ejected, how cool is that! If it had more metal then that would really top it off. Even with the plastic slide and frame it is very realistic in almost every way and even field strips just like a real CZ 75 and is fully licensed. The only feature not true to the actual CZ 75 would be the single action only trigger.
Excellent fit and finish - tolerances are very good.
Very believable working replica of the real steel CZ 75.
Fully licensed.
Fully field strip-able.
Nice heavy full size drop out metal magazine helps give it some needed weight.
Has metal parts where they need to be.
Cons:
Plastic slide and frame.
A bit low in the FPS department.
Only 8 rounds in the magazine.
Can not really use in the field, would lose too many shells.
Comments:
The ASG CZ 75 Shell Ejecting Blowback Airsoft Pistol is a very unique Airsoft gun, not very many Airsoft guns actually have ejecting shells. Just because of that I had to have it! Overall it is a pretty decent gun but I have yet to really test it out and that is the biggest shortcoming with this gun, you can't just shoot it anywhere as you need to shoot it in a place where you can recover your spent shell casings, unless of course you have all the money and shell cases in the world... That said it has a lot going for it other than the ejecting shells; Fully licensed and trademarked, blowback operation, full size drop out metal magazine and it's fully field strippable. I am sorry to say we don't offer it in out Canada or USReplica Airguns Store but we do have a similar all metal CZ 75 Airsoft offering in the form of the KJWorks KP-09 which I have done both a Table Top and Shooting Review for.
I do get requests from many of my viewers to do some real steel reviews and so far I have pretty much stuck with 22LR real steel reviews and my Tokarev real steel review. I recently purchased an interesting 10mm semi auto handgun used at a local used gun show and so I though I would share this rather interesting and no longer in production pistol with you. The handgun we are looking at today is the Wyoming Arms Parker 10mm S.S. At first place it looks a lot like a 1911 but it is different in several ways. the obvious traits are the safety on the slide and lack of a grip safety, it also has a very different looking handle and there are some internal differences also.
What drew me to the Wyoming Arms Parker 10mm S.S. was it's 1911 looks, the very nice stainless steel finish and the rather unusual 10mm ammo it was chambered to shoot. If your not familiar with the 10mm round it was developed by the FBI for sue by their field agents but was later determined to be a bit too much to handle for some of their smaller but later agents. The 10mm was then detuned and turned into the S&W 40 caliber which is essentially a shorter less powerful version of the 10mm.
Here are a bunch more photos that really show off the beauty of this pistol!
Definitely make sure to watch this video as I go through the gun and show you around, I also do a field strip and talk a bit more about the Miami Shootout that was the FBI's reason to look into the development of the 10mm Auto round.
Materials: Metal and plastic (polymer) construction.
Weight: 1 pound 10.5 ounces (752 grams).
Barrel: 3.3 inches, metal rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto, single and double action.
Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets
Ammunition Capacity: 8 shot rotary magazine.
FPS: 360.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Walther CP99 is in the mid range for it's double action trigger pull with most of the effort at the beginning and middle stages as it cocks the hammer and indexes the rotary magazine, it does have a predictable release point making it easy to put pellets on target. By racking the rear slide you can put the CP99 in single action mode which makes the trigger pull much lighter and great for very accurate shots.
Accuracy: I shot this air pistol at a target from 20 feet away in a free semi rested position and it performed well getting a nice tight one inch eight shot grouping just to the left on the target. The sights can be adjusted for windage if your aim is off to one side or the other. With my preliminary Chrony Chronograph testing using 6.9 grain RWS lead pellets I got pretty close to the factory claim of 360fps with an average of right around 346 fps.
Build Quality: The Umarex Walther CP99 is a metal and polymer air gun with a good deal of metal components on the inside giving the Walther CPSport a decent overall weight and heft. It's worth mentioning that the Walther CP99 has a full size drop out magazine for holding the CO2 cartridge that gives the air gun some additional weight and functionality. The German made fit and finish is very good on the CP99 and the plastic quality is also very good.
Realism: The Umarex Walther CP99 is licensed by Walther and is based around the Walther P99. The frame is very similar to the P99 but the slide is not as accurate in terms of the real steel but you can definitely tell the Pellet shooting CP99 is a copy of a Walther P99. One of the biggest shortcomings is the safety, the real P99 does not have a safety but Umarex decided to put a rather large safety on the right hand slide area. I do however like the working de-cocker, slide catch for loading magazines and full size drop out magazine which give the Umarex CP99 a more realistic look and feel.
Slide catch and de-cocker are realistic and functional.
Rifled barrel.
Sights are adjustable for windage.
Slide catch and magazine release are fully functional.
Nice full size drop out CO2 magazine.
Good combination of power, accuracy and CO2 efficiency (I got about 100 shots from a CO2)!
Rail for accessories.
Walther licensing.
German Quality.
Cons:
Up in the higher price range.
Double action can have some stickier shots.
Kind of funny safety, not true to the real steel Walther P99.
No recessed barrel
Comments:
The Umarex Walther CP99 Pellet CO2 Air Pistol is a nice step up from the Walther CPSport I reviewed earlier. The CP99 is a much more accurate looking replica of the P99 and it also has more metal parts and a single and double action trigger. These added features do come with an additional $100 price tag but in my opinion are worth it. If you're a fan of the Walther line of pistols than you should probably take a look at the Umarex Walther CP99 as it would make a great addition to your airgun collection.
Ammunition Capacity: 13 round full size metal magazine -18 round metal stick magazine.
FPS: 428 - 380.
Trigger Pull: There is a lot of difference between the trigger on both of these guns, first off the Umarex Makarov has both a single and double action trigger/hammer while the KWC Makarov has a double action only trigger/hammer. Comparing the double action of both guns the definite advantage goes to the 4.5mm Steel BB shooting Umarex Makarov as it is shorter and lighter, the KWC Airsoft Makarov does not have a bad trigger but it is much longer and a bit heavier, but still very usable. The single action trigger on the Umarex Makarov is not really any lighter than when shooting in double action, it is however much shorter with a medium take-up and predictable release.
Accuracy: Both Airsoft and BB Makarov's performed very well in their shooting tests for me, they bot shot fairly well centered with the KWC Makarov getting all five shots in the black bullseye and the Umarex Makarov having a tighter group but just off to one side. This was good news since both guns do not have adjustable sights! They also scored very well in the velocity department shooting over their advertised claimed feet per second rating. The Umarex BB version shot a very respectable 390 fps while the KWC Airsoft pistol shot a very surprising 480 fps well over the claimed factory 430 fps. Both guns also shot very accurately out to ranges of 50 feet or so. From a single CO2 I was able to get 162 shots from the Umarex Makarov and 112 shots from the KWC Makarov before I noticed a significant power drop.
Build Quality: Neither one these Makarov replicas is going to win a prize for build quality, some shortcuts have been made to keep the price down on each model, but they are both built with mostly metal parts and they both performed perfectly for me during my testing. The Umarex 4.5mm Steel BB Makarov did have more moving parts while the KWC did weigh in a bit heavier, both guns had reasonable fit and finish to them.
Realism: In terms of being good Makarov replicas the pair for sure look the part, size and overall weight are very true to the original real Steel Makarov PM with the Umarex Makarov having a working slide, Makarov licensing and the ability to be field stripped. The KWC Makarov had a nicer recessed barrel and full size drop out metal magazine. I was not a big fan of the KWC screws on the right side slide or the Umarex exposed CO2 tab.
KWC may shoot a bit too hot for CQB Airsoft games.
Both guns do not have adjustable sights.
Comments:
To be honest when I got the KWC Airsoft BB shooting Makarov, I was not all that awe struck, the lack of a working slide, DOA trigger and screw holes in the slide put me off just a bit. This Airsoft pistol did warm up to me a lot once I shot it, I was surprised by the very high fps and how accurate it was for such a low cost Airsoft pistol. I can really see this gun being used as a backup or sidearm in an out doors style Airsoft game where you may need to shoot targets out at range where other lower powered pistols just would not be able to get out to. The Umarex Makarov has always had a place in my heart, it is just a really good little CO2 BB pistol for the price with mostly all metal parts, a working slide, single and double action trigger and very good overall performance. In my books you can not go wrong choosing either of these Makarov replicas so choose wisely!
My Vimeo Video Table Top Comparison Review for these Makarov Air Replicas:
We have been taking preorders on many of our ASG Airguns and Airsoft guns for our Canada Replica Airguns Store, we where expecting them to be back in stock right around the end of the month. The good news is we got them a bit early so we are now filling back orders and most of our ASG inventory is now showing as in stock and ready to ship!
So if you've been waiting for an ASG gun, make sure to grab yours now before we run out again...
This is not meant to be a full review of either the BB or Airsoft version of the Cybergun - KWC CO2 Blowback Mini UZI's but I do talk about specifications, show you around both guns, and put them both through a full Field Test so I guess in a way, perhaps it can be considered to be a full review ;)
I will list the specifications here for you but I am not going to get into details like Trigger Pull, Build Quality, Accuracy and Realism. You can check out my other video reviews for more information on the Mini UZI:
As I said you can check out all my other videos for info on these very accurate Mini UZI Replicas, I mainly want to go over some of the main differences and similarities for both the BB and Airsoft versions.
In terms of build quality they are made almost exactly the same and weigh in at a hefty near 5 pounds, the only differences are the inner barrel and magazines to accommodate the different sized ammo. The BB version has a 25 round single stack magazine that does not have a follower to stop the bolt from continuing to operate even after the magazine is empty. While the 6mm Airsoft version has a double stack magazine that holds 38 rounds and does have a follower to stop the bolt which can save you some unintentional wasted CO2.
The Airsoft Mini UZI version is distributed by KWC while the 4.5mm BB version is distributed by Cybergun, you will find the UZI and IWI licensing on the Cybergun 4.5mm BB version but not on the KWC 6mm Airsoft version.
Out of the box the KWC Airsoft Mini UZI is ready to go in both semi auto and full auto while the 4.5mm steel BB version will only shoot in semi auto mode, it can however be easily modded to shoot in full auto.
Both guns come in cardboard boxes with manuals, some BB's and an Allen key to tighten the CO2. The KWC Airsoft Mini UZI also comes with a handy speed loader.
There is a slight fps velocity difference between the two with the KWC Airsoft 6mm plastic rounds traveling at around 400 fps (with .20 gram BB's) and the 4.5mm Steel BB's traveling at right around 350 fps. In the field test portion I test both guns out on some water filled cans to see how each ammo type performs in terms of penetration.
Your best bet is to watch both my Table Top and Field Test Comparison Video Reviews and see for yourself how they compare!
One question that comes up often is the danger attached to blank gun use and the most common question I get is about the danger of shooting a blank gun at a person. Blank guns have many uses, one of which is to be used as a prop in a movie or reenactment. In this situation one may want to point and shoot a blank gun at a person to make teh scene more believable it. If the person is far enough away there is usually no cause for concern but with that said I would personally point the gun just off to one side in the event that something might come loose within the gun barrel or perhaps a fragment of something where to be fired and cause an injury to the person the gun is directed towards. With creative camera angles you shouldn't need to actually point a blank gun directly at anyone.
People also assume that because a blank gun does not actually fire a bullet that it is relatively harmless. This is not true at all, in the larger caliber blanks there is about the same amount of energy to what your would find in a real bullet, this is so the blank gun will sound about as loud as a real bullet being fired. The difference with how the energy is released in a blank round versus a real bullet is that the bullet caries most of the energy with it and when the bullet hits its intended target, the bulk of the energy is transferred to that target.
The energy from a blank round dissipates almost immediately after it leaves the gun barrel but the energy right at the barrel tip is very similar to that of a real bullet, especially if it has nowhere to go but directly into an object. So yes a blank gun round can be lethal at very close ranges and unfortunately several people have paid with their lives finding this out for themselves.
With this newfound information about blank gun danger, some people might say... get rid of these dangers to society! Before we head in that direction think about how many other non vital things we have in our lives that I would have to say have claimed way more lives than blank guns could even come close to: Off-road pleasure vehicles, Skydiving, Skying, Pools, Real Guns to name a few! Blank guns also serve very useful purposes like being used to signal a warning or distress, send out flares, ward off wild animals, train people on how to use a real gun, and of course dog training. I am sure the good outweighs the bad here.
That's enough politics for now, juts watch the video and see for yourself why you should not point a blank gun at anyone, especially if the person is very close in proximity to you!
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the RG-300 and RG 3 is double action only and a bit on the heavy side so you will need to hold the gun firm and apply an even and long pull to fire the these blank guns, after a few shots you get the hang of it. If you do not pull the trigger the entire way back until the hammer releases, the shot will not fire but the blank will index and move onto the next round so you may have an unused blank when you pull out the magazine.
Accuracy: NA.
Build Quality: The overall build quality for the ROHM RG-300 and RG 3 blank pistols is very good, being German made they are built to last and the fit and finish is very good. The only real plastic would be the grips on both models which is to be expected. Both guns worked perfectly for me during my testing and with the exception of a bit of a heavy DOA trigger pull since the trigger first has to index the magazine and then fire the round.
Realism: The ROHM RG-300 and ROHM RG 3 are not exact replicas of any given guns in production as this would make importing them into Canada even more difficult. The ROHM RG-300 does however share some similarities in looks to that of a Sig Sauer but in a much smaller form factor !
German made quality, materials fit and finish is all excellent.
Almost all metal with some reenforced steel parts.
Very safe double action triggers, will not accidentally misfire on you.
Both are front firing.
Come with flare adaptors and cleaning rods.
Available for import into Canada.
Cons:
Not actual exact replicas of any specific guns in production.
Double action trigger pull is a bit tough and takes some getting used to.
Expensive due to them being harder to get and in high demand in Canada.
Comments:
One nice point with the .22 caliber blank shooters is the lower cost to shoot them, .22 caliber crimped blanks work out to be much cheaper than the 8mm & 9mm P.A.K. or .380 crimped blanks. Sure they are a bit quieter but louder than you might think, especially when coming out of a short barrel. Another selling point is how compact both of these guns really are which makes them easy to pack around if you want to take one with you on a hike or outing as a deterrent for any wildlife that may get a bit too close to you. The RG-300 and RG 3 are two very nice additions to the ROHM blank guns we sell in the Canada Replica Airguns Store.
I don't often get to shoot my airguns out at the 100 foot mark but I purchased my Sheridan Silver Streak .20 Caliber Multi Pump Pellet Rifle mainly to shoot up to and even past this fairly distant range as the Silver Streak is my new vermin gun for pests around the farm. I get a lot of Crows that to be honest are just feathered bullies that pick on all the other friendly birds on the farm, they have also been known to get into my garbage and even attack the Eagles and Hawks in the area. Flying Rats I like to call them.
In this Field test Shooting video I test out my brand new Sheridan Silver Streak on the Chronograph to see just how powerful it really is not just at the maximum 8 pumps but also at 3 and 5 pumps. I was actually very surprised at the very decent power I got from only 3 pumps (460 fps), you could easily take out a small rat with the 14.3 grain .20 caliber lead pellets I was using for my Chrony test. At 5 pumps I gained close to another 100 fps and at 8 pumps I maxed out at just a hair under 640 fps respectively. With the 14.3 grain pellets I was using this worked out to right around 13 foot pounds of energy. (My Sheridan was purchased using a PAL)
I also shot my Sheridan Silver Streak .20 Caliber Pellet Rifle at a target setup 100 feet or just over 30 yards away and was able to get what I felt was a nice 1.5 inch 5 shot grouping. 4 of the 5 pellets where all within 1 inch of each other with my first shot being a bit lower and to the right of the rest spreading the group out to about 1.5 inches. Keep in mind I was also a bit winded from all the pumping and I could feel and see my heartbeat in my 9 power Bushnell scope making my crosshairs bob back and forth ever so slightly.
I have not shot my Sheridan Silver Streak all that much and plan to hone my skills further so when the time comes I will be ready for them pesky crows.
Stay tuned for my future Table Top review of my Sheridan Silver Streak, for now you can checkout my Preview video that has some preliminary info.
Here is my official Field Test Shooting Video Review for my Daisy Winchester Model 11 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. Make sure to checkout my previous Table Top Review for more details on the Winchester Model 11 1911 CO2 4.5mm BB version where I also did a pre-test showing similar results.
My 5 shot Chronograph test resulted in a bit lower than previously tested 339 average fps while my accuracy test shot from 20 feet out in a semi rested position got six shots right in the 1.5 inch bullseye with 4 shots coming out a bit, 2 of which spread the group out to about a 3 inch grouping in total. So in terms of shot placement you could say the Daisy Winchester 1911 4.5mm BB Pistol shot very well centered. Agin this time around I got 6 full magazines but had to manually clock teh hammer back on some of the last magazines end shots, power did seem OK even when manually cocking the hammer.
Overall, the Daisy Model 11 4.5mm BB Pistol is nice pretty much all metal low-cost CO2 Blowback BB pistol with good overall performance. This one looks the part of a 1911 even though it may not function 100%. If your OK with close and want to save a few bucks, then teh Daisy Winchester Model 11 may be for you, if you don't mind spending a bit more to get a BB gun as close to a real 1911 A1 as possible than take a look at the KWC/Cybergun Tanfoglio Model 1911 full blowback BB Pistol and Airsoft Pistol versions.
Here is my official Field Test Shooting Video Review for my KWC Sigma SW40F CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. Make sure to checkout my previous Table Top Review for more details on the KWC SW40F 4.5mm BB version where I also did a pre-test showing some similar results.
My 5 shot Chronograph test resulted in a somewhat expected 285 average fps while my accuracy test shot from 20 feet out in a semi rested position received a slightly wider 3 inch group this time but with most shots being within 1 inch of each other. In terms of shot placement the KWC SW40F 4.5mm BB Pistol shot very well centered but just slightly low. I also only got 2 full magazines this time around so don't expect a lot of shots per CO2 with this 4.5mm BB pistol.
Overall, the KWC SW40F 4.5mm BB Pistol is a really fun gun to shoot with a very crisp heavy slide that gives a nice firm blowback snap to it. It is one of the nicer sounding slides with a less tinny sound than most. The fps and shots per CO2 is a bit low but other than that performance is very good, you will have no problem nocking down cans and acquiring other miscellaneous targets.
