In this Field Test Shooting Video I put some .20 gram Airsoft BB’s through the Action Army AAP-01 GBB Airsoft Pistol to see what the actual velocity is compared to the claimed fps. I also put 10 rounds into a paper target setup 30 feet downrange to find out just how accurate and what kind of grouping I can get from this Gas Blowback Airsoft pistol and also do a full mag dump! If you have not already watched my Table Top Review for the Action Army AAP-01 GBB Airsoft Pistol then make sure to watch if for more specifications and details along with some nice close up video.
For my Chronograph test I placed 5 rounds through my Chrony using .20 gram plastic Airsoft BB’s and was able to average 314 fps with the short barrel and 385 fps with the longer barrel extension added. I was surprised with the addition 70 fps just by adding an extra 4 inches or so to the barrel.
For the accuracy portion of my Field test Shooting Video for the Action Army AAP-01 GBB Airsoft Pistol, I ended up first placing 10 rounds into a fresh paper target setup 30 feet down range. I was using my standard seated and rested shooting position which does offer a fairly stable shooting platform but not without some degree of human interaction. I was a little bit disappointed in the grouping I got as it was one of the larger groupings I have gotten for a test like this spreading out to at least 5-6 inches, still perfectly fine shooting at human target 30-40 feet away. I then uploaded up a full magazine with BB’s and gas and did a mag dump on the same target. As expected there was a lot fo gas and a lot ammo spraying everywhere but the Action Army AAP-01 GBB Airsoft Pistol did make it through the full 22 rounds and get at least some of them on the target.
The Action Army AAP-01 GBB Airsoft Pistol may not be the most accurate GBB Airsoft Pistol out of the box but does offer both semi and full auto and at the end of the day when using this Airsoft Pistol in an actual game situation the accuracy will be not as important since your target will generally be a human torso which is much larger than the 5-6 inch grouping I got. I’m not sure how useful the full auto feature really is in a real world situation but it sure is fun and maybe if you pair up a higher capacity G-series magazine this compact full auto pistol could work as a nice min machine gun!
Type: Airsoft Pistol. Distributer: Action Army. Model:Action Army AAP-01. Materials: Metal and polymer build. Weight: 1.43 pounds (648 grams). Barrel: 5/9.25 inches. Total Length: 9 inches. Propulsion: Gas Blowback. Action: SAO. Ammunition Type: .6mm Airsoft BB’s Ammunition Capacity: 22 rounds. FPS: 360.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Action Army AAP-01 GBB Airsoft Pistol is fairly light, it is a single action only trigger meaning you will need to pull the bolt back to engage the trigger and load an Airsoft BB into the breach. I noticed there is about a 1/4 inch of take-up with a firm breakpoint and easy trigger release. You will also notice there is a trigger safety on the trigger but it does not get in the way at all.
Accuracy: I have not had the chance to really test out this Airsoft Pistol but will be doing so next week when I make my Field Test Shooting Video for the Action Army AAP-01 GBB Airsoft Pistol. I did load up a magazine with propane and do a mag dump in full auto and managed to get though it all but I did pretty much use up all the Gas shooting in full auto. I am sure when in semi auto the gas will go a lot further. I look forward to seeing how it performs in the Filed test in term of accuracy and velocity.
Build Quality: The Action Army AAP-01 GBB Airsoft Pistolhas a good overall build quality and fit and finish. There is a lot of plastic on the outside but good use of metal internally in the bolt, barrel and magazine giving it decent weight but not making it too heavy.
Realism: The Action Army AAP-01 GBB Airsoft Pistol is not an actual Replica specifically of any one particular real steel gun in production, that said it does resemble the Ruger series of 22LR pistols in design and how the bolt functions. You will finds lots of working parts that function as you would expect to them if this was a powder burner. Like the bolt, slide catch, magazine release, safety, trigger safety and full size drop put metal magazine. You can even field strip this gun easily.
Pros:
Full Blowback operation.
Full size dropout G-series metal magazine .
Fiber optic front and back sights.
Can mount rails on top and bottom (not included).
Comes with short and long barrels.
Has a 14mm threaded barrel which can be used to add a mock suppressor to hide the barrel extension.
Working trigger safety and added cross bolt safety.
Mostly everything is ambidextrous.
Can be used in semi auto or full auto mode with the flick of a switch hidden under the bolt.
Overall a nice looking custom Airsoft Pistol!
Cons:
Rear sight not adjustable.
May be hard to find a holster for it.
Seems to eat a lot of gas especially in full auto mode.
Comments: What I really like about the Action Army AAP-01 GBB Airsoft Pistol is that it is rather unique looking, it looks nothing like a Glock, or 1911, or a Beretta or Sig so if you want something that stands out from the crowd then this may be it. I also like the ability to shoot in semi auto or full auto with the click of a switch and since it uses standard G-series magazines you should be able to easily find higher capacity extended mags that hold more gas and more Airsoft BB’s which you will for sure need if you plan to be shooting this one in full auto often.
My Vimeo Table Top Review Videos for the Action Army AAP-01 GBB Airsoft Pistol:
In this Preview Unboxing Vimeo Video I take a look at five very different products! A Spring Piston .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol, an Airsoft GBB Pistol, a Compact Crossbow, a full auto CO2 Blowback BB Pistol and a PPC .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle.
First up is the Umarex Ruger Mark IV Spring Piston Pellet Pistol which is a single shot replica pellet pistol that shoots .177 caliber pellets at up to 320 fps using a spring piston break barrel system. The Umarex Ruger Mark IV Spring Piston Pellet Pistol is a target plinker with fully adjustable fiber optic sights and should be a lot of fun to shoot!
Next I take a look at a Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol from Action Army that closely resembles the Ruger Mark IV pistol with perhaps a more compact look. The Action Army AAP-01 GBB Airsoft Pistol is full blowback a full size drop out magazine and fiber optic sights. It also come with a threaded barrel and barrel extension for adding a longer barrel and much suppressor.
Next on my list of new items is the Bear X Desire XL Crossbow which is a 2.2 pound compact bolt shooting crossbow that sports a rail system with included adjustable iron sights that also allow for a red dot if you want to really customize it. The Bear X Desire XL Crossbow has a 60 pound draw and shoots arrows/bolts at up to 175 fps.
Another AR BB Rifle/Pistol from Crosman is the Crosman A4-P Full Auto CO2 BB Pistol which is essentially a pistol version of the AR Platform. If you like the Crosman DPMS SBR, R1, PDW then you will probably also like the Crosman AP-4. Like the others it uses dual CO2’s and shoots 4.5mm Steel BB;s in semi or full auto at 1400 rounds per minute until the 25 round magazine is empty.
Last included in this preview video is the Air Venturi Avenger Regulated PCP Pellet Rifle. I’m a bit uncertain about this one as I am pretty sure it is the non detuned PAL version that requires a firearms license here in Canada as it shoots at full velocity (.22 caliber pellet at 950 fps). If that’s the case then it will not be available in our Canada Replica Airguns Store but may be available in the US Replica Airguns Store. If it is the detuned version or a detuned version becomes available in Canada then I imagine we will at some point have it in the Canada replica Airguns Store. That said the Air Venturi Avenger Regulated PCP Pellet Rifle uses compressed air and shoots either .177. .22 or .25 caliber pellets using a latch system and rotary magazine.
In this Replica Airguns Field Test Shooting Video I test out the Cybergun Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical Folding Stock AEG Airsoft Rifle to see what the actual velocity is and what kind of accuracy we can expect shooting 30 feet down range into a paper target, I shoot in both semi auto (10 rounds) and then Full auto (A bunch of rounds) to see how this will asl effect the accuracy.
Make sure to also watch my Table Top Video Review for the Cybergun Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical Folding Stock AEG Airsoft to find out more about it’s specifications and features along with some nice close up video of it.
Starting off with the velocity portion of this Field Test Shooting Video, I placed 6 rounds through my Chronograph using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s and averaged 384 fps. The slowest shot was 380 fps while the fastest shot was 390, so only a 10 fps spread! This is a nice velocity as it’s not too hot for indoor skirmishes or too slow for further out shooting outside.
Next I setup a fresh paper target 30 feet down range and proceeded to test out the Cybergun Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical Folding Stock AEG Airsoft Rifle in both semi auto and full auto to see what kind of grouping I could expect. I did not sight in the Cybergun Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical Folding Stock AEG Airsoft Rifle as I like to see how they perform right out of the box. I did notice I was shooting a little bit high and just slightly to the left. Elevation adjustment can be easily adjusted using either the front post sight, the rear notch sight or even a little bit with hop-up so this is not a problem. There is however no way I could see to adjust windage so any corrections you may need ot make left to right you will have to do using your aim point. That said I was able to get around a 1.5 inch grouping with 10 rounds in semi auto mode.
Switching things up to Full auto so fun mode I proceeded to place a whole bunch of rounds into the target, I will estimate around 75 or so and the grouping only spread out to about 2 inches so semi or full auto you will get great accuracy with the Cybergun Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical Folding Stock AEG Airsoft Rifle! The rate of fire using an 8.4 volt battery is not super fast but the cycle rate on a real steel AK47 is also not super fast but if you want to speed it up and also have a more responsive trigger then I would suggest using a higher voltage LiPo battery.
I was very impressed overall with the Cybergun Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical Folding Stock AEG Airsoft Rifle as it is a relatively inexpensive Airsoft Rifle with lots of included bonuses like two magazines, a battery and charger. Even with the low price and bundled add ons it performed really well for me. SO if you are looking for an AK type Airsoft Rifle I would suggest you take a look at the Cybergun Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical Folding Stock AEG Airsoft Rifle as an option for sure!
Type: Airsoft AEG. Distributer:Cybergun Model:Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical 60th Anniversary. Materials: Metal and polymer build. Weight: 6.82 pounds (3100 grams). Barrel: 457mm (18 inches) Total Length: 709-950mm (27.9-37.4 inches). Propulsion: AEG. Action: Semi, full auto. Ammunition Type: .6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s. Ammunition Capacity: 550 rounds. FPS: 400.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Cybergun Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical Folding Stock AEG Airsoft Rifle is what you will find on most electric switch controlled AEG Airsoft Guns. It has a short to mid length very light take-up with a light release which generally has a bit of a delay as the motor pulls the spring back and release the piston. This delay is shorter with higher voltage batteries as the motor will run quicker allowing for a shorter delay and also a higher rate of fire in full auto mode.
Accuracy: I have not performed my Field Test Shooting Video for the Cybergun Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical Folding Stock AEG Airsoft Rifle but plan to get to that video this week. I really have no idea what to expect at this point since i have not even loaded up a magazine so we will find out together when I get to my Indoor Field Test Shooting video in a couple of days.
Build Quality: Overall the Cybergun Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical Folding Stock AEG Airsoft Rifle seems fairly well built. You will find metal parts in the barrel, front and back sights, receiver, charging bolt, bolt cover, rings, trigger and trigger guard. The plastic components would be the folding stock, magazine, RIS hand-guard, fore-grip and pistol grip. Fit and finish seem good and the overall weight is heavy but not too heavy. Internally you get a metal gear box with metal gears so you should expect to have a reliable and long lasting shooting experience with this Airsoft Rifle.
Realism: The Cybergun Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical Folding Stock AEG Airsoft Rifle for sure looks the part of a more modern tactical AK47 with the majority of the mechanical parts functioning like a real steel version as in the charging bolt, bolt cover, sector switch, foldable rear stock and of course the magazine release.
Pros:
Mostly metal construction with good overall weight and feel.
Lots of rail attachment options on RIS rail hand-guard.
Adjustable sights, smaller increments on front, easy quick adjustment for elevation at distance on the back.
Comes with a folding fore-grip.
Rear folding stock helps to shorten up the rifle in transport or for storage.
Comes with two high capacity magazines.
Comes with a battery and charger.
Comes with sling mounts and a basic sling.
Super easy access to change out the battery.
Easy access to hop-up via charging bolt.
FPS should be nice and high, good for long or mid range shooting.
Cybergun Kalashnikov licensed, also 60th Anniversary edition.
Orange tip should be easy enough to remove.
Price point is fairly good for all that you get.
Cons:
No simulated blowback action.
Sights are only adjustable for elevation.
Magazines are plastic, feel a bit cheap and light.
Comments: The Cybergun Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical Folding Stock AEG Airsoft Rifle is what I would consider a great value AEG Airsoft Rifle and there are not as many AK style Airsoft Rifles to choose from as there are AR’s so it’s nice to see this one in the lineup. You do get a lot for what you are paying, lots of metal parts externally and internally with a hefty almost 7 pound weight to it. I also like that you get everything you need to get going other than the Airsoft BB’s, so you get the battery and charger along with two 500+ magazines, they even add in a cheap sling just in case you want to throw it over your shoulder!
My Vimeo Table Top Review Videos for the Cybergun Kalashnikov AK47 Tactical Folding Stock AEG Airsoft Rifle:
Back in 2017 I made “Which Beretta Airgun is the Best” Video and showed off some 4.5mm Steel BB and .177 Caliber Pellet versions of my favorite Beretta 92 - M9 style Air Pistols. There have been some changes since then most noticeably the addition to Airsoft versions so I thought I would update this video with more current Beretta Airguns along with of course some of the same ones form my last video.
Because I show off 4.5mm Steel BB, .177 Caliber Pellet and 6mm Plastic Airsoft versions I decided to pick my favorites form each category. Watch my Vimeo Review Comparison Video so checkout these Air Pistols and see which ones are my favorites…
.177 Caliber Pellet Beretta 92 -M9 CO2 Air Pistols
Took me a while to get to this Field Test Shooting Video for the ASG CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 6mm AEG Airsoft Gun but glad I took a look at it even if it is over 6 years already on the market. As per usual I test out the velocity shooting several ordains through my Chronograph to see what the real world fps is, I then follow this up with an accuracy test shooting 10 rounds on a paper target setup 30 feet downrange to see how tight of a grouping I can get. Also make sure to watch my Table Top Video for the ASG CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 6mm AEG Airsoft Gun for information on the specifications and features along with some nice close up video.
Starting with my Velocity Test I placed 6 rounds through my Chronograph using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s clocking in an average of 421 fps. I was very impressed with the consistency of the velocity with the lowest shot being 420 fps and the fastest shot being 422 fps only 2 fps apart! You can change out the spring super easy on the ASG CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 6mm AEG Airsoft Gun but I feel that the fps out fo the box would be good for most Airsoft games indoor and outdoor.
I then places a brand new paper target 30 feet downrange and proceeded to shoot 10 rounds at it in semi auto using a seated shooting position rested on a sand bag up front. I was able to get very close to a 1 inch grouping just a tad over an inch. I did not sight in the gun so I was not surprised I was shooting rather low and just a hair to the left, this could be equally corrected by adjusting the rear sight for windage and elevation. I could also play around with the hop-up effecting elevation at different ranges. I then proceeded to shoot take some more shot in both 3 round burst adn full auto modes and as expected the groupings did spread out a bit but not a lot.
I was super impressed with eh performance of the ASG CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 6mm AEG Airsoft Gun, I don’t think I have seen velocity consistency this good in any other AEG Airsoft gun I have tested so far. Accuracy was also on point even using lighter plastic .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. My only real grip with the ASG CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 6mm AEG Airsoft Gun is the limited battery choice since the internal storage ares is very constricted. Other than that this Airsfot Gun is a winner and worth taking a look at if you can get your hands on one.
Type: Airsoft AEG. Distributer:ASG. Model: CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1. Materials: Metal and polymer build. Weight: 5.3 pounds (2400 grams). Barrel: 208mm (8.2 inches) Total Length: 425-623mm (16.7-24.5 inches). Propulsion: AEG. Action: Semi, burst, full auto. Ammunition Type: .6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s. Ammunition Capacity: 75 rounds. FPS: 395.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the ASG CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 6mm AEG Airsoft Gun is essentially just an on off electric switch controlled by the ECU. There is very little trigger resistance and the take up is very short allowing for quick semi auto shooting but if you like you can easily select three round burst or full auto shooting for more intense situations.
Accuracy: I have not performed my Field Test Shooting Video for the ASG CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 6mm AEG Airsoft Gun but plan to get to that video next week. I really have no idea what to expect at this point since i have not even loaded up a magazine and taken it for a spin yet. I am sure I will not be dissapoitned as this is a very high quality Airsoft Gun with great internals.
Build Quality: I remember at SHOT Show back when ASG introduced the ASG CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 6mm AEG Airsoft Gun, I was told indirectly that the construction was nearly identical to the real steel CZ Scorpion EVO at least cosmetically as all the internal parts will be specificities to Airsoft. That said this is a very high quality build with the material being for the most part the same as the original with Nylon Fiber PA6 Polymer reenforced plastics and even some CNC machined metal parts as in the outer barrel, flash hidden, barrel nut and even the gear box.
Realism: The ASG CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 6mm AEG Airsoft Gun is a bang on replica in terms of emulating the real steel CZ Scorpion EVO and has our weight and feel including a blot catch that locks back when out of ammo and most working components being ambidextrous.
Pros:
Build quality is almost exactly like the real steel version, super high quality materials.
Three shooting modes: semi auto, burst mode and full auto.
Decent mid capacity 75 round magazine with auto empty detection which locks the bolt catch.
Quad rail for lots of add on accessories.
Folding and adjustable stock that can also be removed.
Adjustable and removable iron sights with fiber optic up front and peep in the back.
Working charging handle for easy access to hop-up
Working bolt catch.
High quality electronic and gear box.
Ambidextrous controls for the most part.
Scorpion licensed through ASG.
Orange tip is fairly discreet.
Cons:
Battery compartment is small and hard for quick battery replacement, I recommend using an external setup if possible.
Price point is on the higher side but you get what you pay for.
Comments: On paper and just by looking over and inspecting the ASG CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 6mm AEG Airsoft Gun specs out and I am sure I will be pleased when I test it out in the Replica Airguns Indoor Shooting Range. That said this hasn’t happened yet so I will leave my final thumbs up until then. I do wish we had them in stock at the time of this video but there are a lot of other great ASG products in our store and of course many more brands of AEG Airsoft Guns. Hopefully we can get something like this in shortly for everyone so keep checking with us.
My Vimeo Table Top Review Videos for the ASG CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 6mm AEG Airsoft Gun:
In this Replica Airguns Vimeo Field Test Shooting Video I put the KWC / Umarex Mod. 92 A1 andElite Force 1911 TAC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistols through my Indoor Sea Can Shooting Test. Fist I find out what the real world velocity is by placing 5 rounds through my Chronograph and average out the FPS. I then shoot 10 rounds on a paper target for 30 feet back using a semi rested shooting position, sand bag up front and seated in the back.
Starting with my velocity test for both CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistols I made sure to use a brand new CO2 along with .25 gram Airsoft BB’s so a bit heavier than what was used for the official stats. Both Umarex Airsoft Pistols shot really similar velocities with the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 A1 averaging 364 FPS and the Umarex Elite Force 1911 TAC averaging 365 FPS. If I had been using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s I am sure these numbers would have been closer to the claimed 400 or so FPS.
Moving on to the accuracy test again I performed this test which each Umarex CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol. The Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 A1 performed a little bit better than the 1911 with all 10 shots grouping within 1.5 inches and very well centered on the target. The Umarex Elite Force 1911 TAC did have a slightly wider grouping closer to 2 inches and was a lilt bit high on the target but center nicely left to right. Of course the full auto mode on the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 A1 did not produce anything even close to a tight group but it is always fun shooting in full auto :)
All in all both of these KWC / Umarex CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistols performed well for me in terms of meeting their expectations for velocity and accuracy. We have them in our online Replica Airguns Stores in either KWC Unlicensed or Umarex Licensed versions so take your pick!
In this Vimeo Replica Airguns Update Video I take a look at three CO2 Airguns, one is a 4.5mm Steel BB revolver distributed by Barra and two are CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistols distributed by Umarex. All of these CO2 Airguns I have previously reviewed in slightly different versions either barrel length and finish or Steel BB as compared to 6mm Airsoft So checkout why other reviews on similar version Airguns.
The Barra Barra Schofield CO2 BB Revolver is a replica of the Schofield No. 3 single action revolver and utilizes 6 reloadable shells for a very realistic shooting experience. It is very solid in construction bing made mostly out of metal and weighs in at around 2.4 pounds. This version shots 4.5 mm Steel BBs at a velocity of up to 400 fps. It comes in a variety of barrel lengths and finishes so amen sure to have a look in our Online Replica Airguns Store for what we have available…
Next up from Umarex is the fully licensed Beretta Pietro Mod. 92 A1 CO2 Blowback Semi and Full Auto Airsoft Pistol, this product is distributed by Umarex but is made by KWC. Another solid metal pistol with a hefty 2.4 pound weigth that holds 21 rounds in its full size drop out metal magazine and offers both semi and full auto shooting at the flick of a switch!
Again from Umarex I showcase the Elite Force 1911 Tac CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol and like the Beretta Pietro it too is made in the KWC factory for Umarex. The 1911 Tac as the name suggest is a tactical version of the standard Colt 1911 but with some upgrades like a skeletonized hammer and trigger along with an ambidextrous safety, white dot sights front and back and a picatinny rail on the frame for add ons. You can expect velocity to be somewhere in the 400 fps range and the full size drop out metal magazine holds 15 Airsoft BB’s.
In this Preview Update Video three newer products, two Umarex Airsoft CO2 Blowback Pistols and one CO2 Blowback BB Pistol from Crosman. This is far from a full review which I will remaking for all of these Airguns in the near future. I simply go over some of the main specifications and show you quickly around each Airgun.
Type: GBB Airsoft Pistol. Manufacturer: WE Airsoft Model:1039 M2 Materials: Mostly all metal build. Weight: 2.43 pounds (1100 grams). Barrel: 4.53 inches, non-rifled. Length: 8.5 inches. Propulsion: Green Gas Action: Semi & full Auto, single and double action trigger. Ammunition Type: 6mm Plastic Airsoft BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 26 round full size dropout metal magazine. FPS: 366+.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is good in both single and double action. Double action as expected has the longer heavier pull but is still smooth and fairly light with a predictable release. Single action shooting has a much shorter trigger pull with a bit of take-up and an even lighter release than in double action shooting mode.
Accuracy: This is one of those times I actually performed my Field Test Portion of my Review first so I do have some feedback in terms of the accuracy and velocity for the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol. WE claims an fps of around 366+ using the extended barrel that comes with it so this is how I tested it. I did use .26 gram airsoft BB’s so the fps was a bit lower but I did get close to 320 fps, So you should expect around a 20% increase in FPS using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s, so closer to 360-380 fps. In terms of accuracy I did notice that the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol shot rather low for me, as much as 8 inches at 30 feet out, perhaps adjustment get hop-up will fix that, at longer ranges it should… That said I found I was able to get around a 1-5.2 inch 10 round grouping at 30 feet out. In terms of full auto, all I can say is don’t expect to hit very much you point at as the gun really likes to rock around!
Build Quality: The WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is a really gorgeous looking pistol and has one of my favorite looking finishes in that stainless steel look. You will find it has an overall solid build quality, it is virtually all metal with only the grips and some internal parts like the gas chamber and nozzle being plastic. There is almost zero slide wiggle and all in all this Airsoft pistol performed great for me with no mechanical problems.
Realism: As is with most Full Blowback Airsoft Pistols they are built to look and act the part of their real steel counterparts and the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is no exception! All mechanical parts work as intended and you can easily field strip the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol to swap out the internal barrel and adjust the hop-up. I like the fact that WE Airsoft color matched the magazine rather than simply shipping it with the black magazine as I have found some other companies do.
Pros:
All metal pistol with good weight to it.
Crisp firm full blowback operation.
Excellent fit and finish.
No markings on the metal parts at all, just the WE branding on the grips.
Color matching magazine.
Gun will accept real Beretta M9 grips.
Semi and full auto selector safety switch.
White dot sights front and back.
Good fps, right around the claimed 366 using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s.
Very believable working replica of the real steel Beretta M9 Pistol.
Fully field strip-able.
Comes with extension barrel and replaceable inner barrel if not going to use extension.
Cons:
No marking on the gun if that is important to you?
Shot rather low in my testing but hop-up and barrel change may fix it.
Almost unusable in Full Auto mode.
The WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is one of the nicer looking Airsoft Beretta M9 pistols on the market and is comparable in quality to other higher end brands like KWA and KJWorks. The price point is also in line with what you are getting. I really like the Stainless - Silver - Chrome finish or what ever you want to call it… One thing I was not able to determine 100% is if this version is in fact the Gen 2 version but I do believe it is given that it has the black gas tube in it. We just don’t have it advertised as such. If you’re in the market for a Beretta style M9 Pistol then consider the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol as a solid choice.
I haven’t reviewed many WE products over the years as they where not part of our inventory in the Replica Airguns Store. The good news is we do carry a selection of their pistols in our Canada Store including the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol I review in this video along with some 1911’s. In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Shooting Range to find out what the real world velocity and accuracy is.
Starting with the velocity portion of the test I place 6 rounds through my Chronograph using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s and I averaged 317 fps which is about right considering the claimed fps is 366+ using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. The temperature was also not overly hot or cold in the Sea Can so in warner shooting conditions the fps will up a bit too.
Next I performed my accuracy test where i generally shoot 10 rounds on a paper target for 30 feet back ling a rested shooting position, sand bag up front and sensated in the back. I found the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol was shooting a good 6-8 inches low at this range with the default hop-up setup so I had to aim near the top of my target to place rounds closer to the bullseye for the sake of the video. I would say the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is capable of 1-2 inch 10 rod groupings, my test was closer to 2 inches but I can see potential for sub 2 inch groups. A quick hop-up adjustment should bring the aim point closer to where the rounds are actually hitting. I did perform a full auto mag dump and the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol was able to get through all 26 rounds with a full mag of gas but as expected accuracy was not very goo dat all as the heavy blowback action really throws this gun around.
All in all the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is a really nice Airsoft pistol that performs fairly well and in a game situation would get the job done nicely. It’s also a real looker with it’s stainless looking finish. Keep posted for my Table Top Video I will be making shortly for the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol.
I was hoping this Field Test Shooting Video would go off without a hitch but I did stubble with the laser a bit, I like to shoot guns straight out of the box without really sighting them in but in the case of an add on laser I was expecting to do some sight adjustments. To my surprise when I placed the laser on the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol the laser red dot lined up almost perfectly with the open sights. Sounds great but during my actual test it seems that the heavy blowback action may have nocked the laser sight around placing the laser red dot way to high making the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol shoot really low for this test. I did figure it out via some trial and error and was able to pull off this Field Test Shooting Review in the end for everyone…
Starting with the Chronograph portion of the Field Test Shooting Video, I placed 5 shots through my Chrony and was able to get an average fps of 315. The temperature was not really cold or hot so on a warmer day I would expect around 330 to 340 fps. I did accidentally shoot off around 5 rounds in full auto at the beginning which may have effected the first couple of higher velocity shots that come out when you are using a new CO2 but there results I got I was happy with and give a more realistic velocity fo the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol.
Next I placed 10 rounds into my paper target setup 30 feet down range and did my best to get them on the paper, as mentioned I had to figure out exactly where the laser red dot was pointing in relation to where the BB’s where hitting and once I figured this out I was able to get 10 rounds all within about 2 inches of each other so not bad for a Blowback CO2 BB Pistol. of course the included Laser Sight is adjustable for windage and elevation so I could line up the laser red dot with the actual shot placement which is something you can not do with the non adjustable open sights.
All in all the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol with Laser performed much like all the other KWC PT92 CO2 Blowback Beretta/Taurus type Airguns, the laser red dot simply allows for a more visual and perhaps faster way to place BB’s on your target, at least once you get it sighted in of course!
Type: BB Pistol. Manufacturer: KWC - Distributed by Crosman. Model:P1. Materials: Mostly all metal build. Weight: 2.44 pounds (1107 grams). Barrel: 4.1 inches, brass, non-rifled. Length: 8.75 inches. Propulsion: 12 gram CO2 x 1. Action: Semi & full single and auto, double action trigger. Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 20 round full size dropout metal magazine. FPS: 400.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol is good in both single and double action. Double action as expected has the longer heavier pull but is still smooth and not too heavy with a predictable release. Single action shooting has a much shorter trigger pull with a slight take-up and even lighter release than in double action mode.
Accuracy: I have not done my shooting Field Test specifically for this Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol but I have shot enough of these KWC PT-92 rebranded pistols to know that it should get about a 2 inch 10 shot grouping from 30 feet away in semi auto mode of course. And I expect it to get around 330-340 fps on the Chrono. We will have to wait and see the final results when I get to my performance review.
Build Quality: Like all the KWC full blowback CO2 Airguns, the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol has an overall good build and the design has been out long enough to get any of the bugs worked out by KWC. The fit is good and almost the entire gun is metal so it has great weight to it. Finish wise the electromagnetic coating can wear off in the high spots over time but this is true with real steel blued guns too, it will just happen a bit quicker with the airgun versions.
Realism: Again like the full line of KWC full blowback Pistols, the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol is an amazing replica and looks and functions the part of a real Taurus PT-92 in almost every way including being able to be fully field stripped. You will also find metal working parts in the same places you would find them on the real steal version. only the grips and some internal parts like the gas chamber and nozzle are plastic
Pros:
Pretty much all metal gun with good weight.
Heavy blowback feel.
Nice single and double action trigger.
Semi auto and full auto ready out of the box.
Field strips like the real steel version.
Has been on the market for a while so bugs worked out now.
Nice replica of the Taurus PT-92.
Comes with a laser in the box.
Cons:
Has the ugly white warning instruction on the slide.
Only single white dot on rear sight, would have liked them front and back
Expect to use up CO2 very quickly as is with all KWC full blowback airguns.
Could buy the KWC version and then add your own red dot perhaps for less money?
The Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol isn't anything we haven't already seen from KWC or even Crosman for that matter with their PFAM98 (The laser less version) and other Airgun distributers re-branding this same KWC made gun. I do like that the Crosman version is full auto ready out of the box and about their claims of up to 400 fps? Well we will have to see about that as it seems optimist to me based on my other Field Test Shooting Reviews I have done with virtually the same KWC Airguns. The only real unknown going into my Field Test Shooting Review for the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol with be just how well the laser works and if it helps to improve on the accfriay in any way?
I will say right off the bat this Field Test Shooting Video for the Air Venturi 3000 PSI Aluminum HPA Tank with Stock and Adapter did not go as well as I would have wanted it to! The HPA tank itself worked really well but I believe the adapter was faulty as it was destroying the seals on my tank and not regulating very well.
I still wanted to publish this video regardless as not all reviews go as planned, some fail horribly but I would rather be honest and transparent about it rather than have you believe every product is a perfect.
There will always be problems even with really great products there can be defects. I plan to get a new adaptor and try this Field Test Review Video again but for now you can have some fun watching me at least have some success using the Air Venturi 3000 PSI Aluminum HPA Tank with Stock on my Rap4 Rap5 MP5.
You can also watch my Table Top Review Video for more details and info on this product!
I will also be following up my Table Top video with a Field Test Shooting Video to see what possible advantages and disadvantages the Air Venturi 3000 PSI with Stock & Adapter Aluminum Tank has in a real world test of its performance, hopefully all advantages!
Pros:
Compact and is the perfect size to use as a rear buttstock for various 88 Gram and or HPA rifles.
Smaller tank means if you are using a foot pump it won’t take all day to fill up :)
Comes with adapter so can be used with regular HPA and 88 Gram CO2 systems.
Regulated to 1100 psi so should perform better in terms of max velocity and consistency compared to CO2 which is around max 800-900 psi with velocity being effected by cool down.
Not effected by colder temperatures compared to CO2.
Once you have this tank the cost is virtually nothing to shoot compared to expensive 88 Gram CO2 cartages. You just need to buy your pellets or BB’s.
Cons:
Still takes a while to pump up using a foot pump system.
Higher initial cost ($195) than simply buying 88 gram CO2 cartages when you need them.
Will need access to a pump or compressor to use it.
Doesn’t look as good as the supplied buttstock at least with the Sig Sauer MCX and MPX.
Comments:
I guess the question is who is this for? If you are a casual shooter that perhaps owns the Sig MPX or MCX or even another 88 Gram CO2 Air Rifle that the Air Venturi 3000 PSI with Stock & Adapter Aluminum Tank would work with then this may be a bit expensive especially if you don’t have a way to pressurizer the tank at home. On the other hand if you already have a foot pump or air compressor or easy access to one and maybe you have other HPA or CO2 based airguns this tank will work with then it’s kind a no brainer to get it. Maybe you juts want a system that gives you maximum and consistent velocity no matter how cold it is outside. All good reasons to get one in my books.
I thought when I read the one mag instruction guide that I had a good idea on how to use it but there was one area I misunderstood. I thought I needed to pull the tab in and out several times to reload the magazine but in fact I only needed to pull it out once, then shale the magazine back and forth horizontally a few times and then I was good to go.
I also read some other comments that mentioned I didn’t have to take the magazine out every time I reloaded so in this video I test that out to make sure and then one last comment that rather than pulling the charging handle back each time I reloaded I could simply press the bolt release on the right side of the Airgun, and yes this is the case with the Crosman Full Auto rile series.
So here I go a second time in making sure I do it right this time!
I have been wanting to test out the Crosman Full Auto Quick Reload Magazine for a while now and finally got around to it. The weather was cooperating with me so I went outside for this one and setup a bunch of cameras to make the many many magazine reloads a bit more interesting for my viewers.
The Crosman Full Auto Quick Reload Magazine has a hopper that is said to hold around 300 4.5mm Steel BB’s which I can attest it does in fact hold at least 300 BB’s. The Crosman Full Auto Quick Reload Magazine like their regular Crosman Full Auto Magazines holds two 12 gram CO2 Cartridges, so the question is, will I be able to get through most of the 300 BB’s without reloading the CO2?
Watch my struggle a bit to figure out the exactly how to properly use the Crosman Full Auto Quick Reload Magazine and then quickly eat through 300 or so BB’s blasting pop cans down range!
In this Field Test Shooting Video I perform my usual Chronograph and Accuracy tests in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Shooting Range to find out what the actual feet per second velocity is and how accurate the ICS CPX-APE SF1 AEG Airsoft Rifle is in both semi auto and full auto. Watch my Table Top Video if you are looking for more info on Specifications and Details along with a full tear down of the ICS CPX-APE SF1 AEG Airsoft Rifle.
First up I place 6 rounds through my Chronograph to see what the real world velocity is and the ICS CPX-APE SF1 AEG Airsoft Rifle was able to average 391 fps using .25 gram plastic Airsoft BB’s. ICS claims the ICS CPX-APE SF1 is capable of fps up to 460 fps but this would be using lighter .20 gram Airsoft BB’s which I believe is entirely possible!
Next I put a fresh paper target on my metal backstop 30 feet downrange and proceeded to shoot 10 round in semi auto to see how tight of a grouping I could get. I was happy to see that 7 of my 10 rounds all grouped nicely within the 1.5 inch bullseye and only 3 came out just slightly increasing the grouping to around 2 inches but still closer to 1.5 inches. When I switched over to full auto and emptied the 300 round magazine into the target, amazingly the grouping still seemed to stay pretty close to 2 inches in diameter with some stragglers. The ICS CPX-APE SF1 AEG Airsoft Rifle punched a satisfying hole in my target going through several layers of cardboard.
As you can see in this YouTube Field Test Shooting Video the ICS CPX-APE SF1 AEG Airsoft Rifle performed very well for me living up to its pristine price point. You will pay top dollar for the ICS CPX-APE SF1 AEG Airsoft Rifle but will also get top quality with a ton fo features including an almost all metal/aluminum build, ambidextrous controls throughout, tons of add on capabilities using the 5 sided Keymod hand-gurd, fully adjustable folding stock and exceptional performance.
