I have another Full Auto Fun Video this one focusing on 4.5mm Steel BB Versus 6mm Plastic and which one is better in terms of accuracy and shredding power. I perform this super scientific test by shooting obviously in full auto two comparable Steel BB and Plastic Airsoft Rifles at a paper target setup 20 feet away with a magazine as a backer so I can see what the accuracy is like and how much of the paper magazine gets shredded by each ammo being tested.

I have split this video into three separate videos, in video one I compare two similar AR styled rifles, a CO2 powered Blowback 4.5mm BB Rifle to a Gas Blowback 6mm Airsoft Rifle. In video two I compare two AK type Blowback Rifles to each otters, again a CO2 4.5mm Steel BB along with a Gas 6mm Airsoft.

And lastly in Video three I compare my top picks for each category which include a non-Blowback CO2 4.5mm BB Machine gun to an AEG 6mm Airsoft Rifle.

In this video (Video One) the Airguns being used are the Crosman R1 4.5mm CO2 Blowback RIfle and the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 6mm Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle.

In this two part video series I compare several Air Pistols to each other to find out what type of round has the most power and accuracy. The guns I use for this not so scientific test are the KWC Model DE /50 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback 6mm Plastic Airsoft Pistol, the EKOL ES 55 CO2 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol, the Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle Blowback CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol and the Umarex T4E TR50 CO2 .50 Caliber Paintball Pistol.

For this Video 2 Accuracy Test I shoot all of the above listed Airguns at a paper target setup 30 feet down range using a semi rested shooting position with my hands resting on a sand bag up front and seated on a stool in the back. It’s not perfect but works well enough. I didn’t take a ton of time with each gun since there where 4 to shoot in this Field Test Shooting Video so accuracy may have been a bit better if I took a little more time with each gun.

In Video 2 I test the power and penetration of each Airgun option shooting at a pop can, a soup can and a toilet paper roll so make sure to watch that video if you have not already watched it.

For this Video 1 Power Test I shoot all of the above listed Airguns first at a pop can, then a soup can and then a toilet paper roll. The ides is to test penetration abilities with the pop and soup can and then raw force shooting the toilet paper as it will absorb all the energy from each airgun round and by gauging how much the toilet paper reacts or moves it should tell us which airgun has the most raw power or energy.

In Video 2 I will be testing accuracy using my standard 30 round paper target setup in the Replica Airguns Sea Can so stay posted for that upcoming video shortly…

The Video I am sure most of you have been waiting for in this Full Auto Fun 2022 Video Series! The Canada Legal Air Ordnance SMG .22 Full Auto PCP Machine Gun. For this video I loaded up a 100 round belt fed magazine and filled my 13 CU PCP tank up to 3500 PCI (I should have filled it all the way to 3000 in hind sight!) I was able to get through almost all the of the 100 rounds but ran out of pressure with around 100 or so rounds left. Still had lots of .22 caliber lead pellets to get the job done and rip through all the water filled cans with lots left over for the Gel fill paper target. Make sure to watch Video 1 where I shot the Crosman A4-P Co2 Full Auto Machine Pistol and Video 2 where I shoot another Corman BB Machine Gun the AK1 Full Auto CO2 BB Rifle.

In this Replica Airguns Video I talk about the latest Canadian Temporary Handgun Ban What it Means for Airguns. I talk about what I think abut it and what it means for Replica Airguns now and in the future.

Canada puts in place temporary handgun import ban!

From: Global Affairs Canada

News release

August 05, 2022 - Toronto, Ontario - Global Affairs Canada

Canadians deserve to feel safe in their communities. That is why the Government of Canada has a comprehensive plan that gets firearms off our streets and more

resources into our communities. A central part of this is the recently introduced Bill C21. The bill addresses the alarming role of guns in gender based violence, gets tough on organized crime and most significantly introduces a national freeze on the sale,

transfer and ownership of handguns, anywhere in Canada.

The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Honourable Marco Mendicino, Minister of Public Safety, today announced a temporary import ban on the importation of restricted handguns. This will help bring the ultimate impact of the national handgun freeze into force sooner. This temporary ban means that individuals and businesses will no longer be able to import handguns into Canada, subject to narrow exceptions that mirror those in Bill C-21. These restrictions will take effect on

August 19th, 2022, and will last until the national freeze comes into force. No single program or initiative can tackle the challenge of gun violence on its own. That is why Bill C-21 and the national freeze on handguns are two of the many elements in the Government’s comprehensive plan to keep Canadians safe. This begins at our borders, where we’ve added resources to fight smuggling and stop guns from coming into Canada. We’re also investing in prevention programs to tackle the root causes of gun crime and stop it before it starts. Finally, we banned assault-style weapons like AR15s, and will soon begin a buyback program to get these weapons of war out of our communities once and for all.

Quotes

“We know that one Canadian killed by gun violence is one too many. As a government, it is our duty to ensure that Canada remains one of the safest places to live in the world. The import ban announced today will help to keep guns stay off our streets as we work towards implementing Bill C-21, reducing gun violence in the immediate term.

- Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs

“My top priority as Minister is keeping Canadians safe in their communities. Today’s announcement is further proof that we are using all tools at our disposal to fight gun crime in this country. It is a key pillar of our plan to address it, along with investments in prevention, action at our borders, a ban on assault-style weapons and Bill C-21 –Canada’s most significant action on gun violence in a generation.”

- Marco Mendicino, Minister of Public Safety

Materials: Metal and Polymer.
Weight: 8.7 pounds (3.9kg).
Air Tank: 4000 PSI - 240cc.
Barrel: Double barrel system.
Propulsion: PCP (Compressed Air).
Action: Side cocking - Single action trigger.

Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel PCP Arrow Rifle is single action only requiring you to engage the side cocking latch system before you can shoot it. You will also be required to manually select the barrel using the side mounted cross bolt between shots. The trigger feels pretty light in general since it is a single action only trigger but it does have a fair amount take-up and creep before releasing.

View fullsize

Accuracy: I have not performed any shooting tests with the Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel PCP Arrow Rifle as of yet and I am not sure if I will since this product does require a high powered crossbow type backstop which I do not have at this time. I want to make sure I have a safe shooting environment before unleashing 169 foot pounds of energy downrange. I would imagine since the Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel PCP Arrow Rifle is designed more for mid to large game hunting that it will be accurate out to mid and long ranges, of course you will need to practice at the ranges you will be shooting at to know how the arrow will fly and how much elevation you will need to to adjust for.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel PCP Arrow Rifle is really well built and solid coming in at 8.7 pounds. For it’s size it is not heavy since it ustilizes a combination of metal, aluminum and polymer. All the mechanical parts feel high quality and reactive.

View fullsize

Realism: The Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel PCP Arrow Rifle is not a replica of any real steel gun in production since it is a hunting rifle through and through. It is rifle shaped of course since that is what we have gown accustomed to using and so why change the main design. If you have used a rifle before then you will have no problem using the Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel PCP Arrow Rifle as it is more of a rifle and less of a bow or crossbow to use. It just happens to shoot arrow rather than bullet.

View fullsize

Pros:

• Canada non PAL Airgun with enough power to hunt medium to larger game!

• Overall price point is good, nothing like this to compare to.

• Arrows are propelled from the front, so no archers paradox when aiming.

• Arrows come with field tip arrows but can be unscrewed and replaced with broad tip arrow heads for hunting.

• Easy to use cross bolt safety on trigger.

• Pistol grip allows for easy hold and control.

• Fit and finish is excellent.

• PCP for more power and consistency than CO2.

• Picatinny rails on top for scope, sides and bottom for other accessories.

• Rubber butt-plate for added comfort.

• Improved easy to use side cocking system.

• Double barrel allows for quick follow up shot.

• Higher PSI for high power with same amount of shots as older single barrel AirSaber.

Cons:

• Need a pump or other compressed air-fill system.

• Will require a proper backstop system to practice safety with.

• Arrows are not cheap so make sure of your shots.

Comments:
The Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel PCP Arrow Rifle is a really unique product that allows virtually anyone to be able to hunt even larger game without a firearms license in Canada. It is not really a riffle or a crossbow, it is it’s own creation that takes the best of a rifle and the best from archery combining both into an easy to learn and use way to be able to hunt proficiently and perhaps even in areas rifles are not allowed to go. For the extra $100 or so I would recommend the Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 Double Barrel version over the original single version barrel but both will get the job done at the end of the day since usually your first shot is your only shot.

In this Field Test Shooting Video I go outside for a bit of a change and test out the Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle Combo to see what the real world velocity is and what kind of accuracy I can expect shooting at much further out ranges than my Sea Can Airgun Range offers me. If you want to know more about specifications and details for this Break Barrel Spring Piston Air Riffle make sure to watch my Table Top Video for information along with more closeup video.

Starting with the velocity for the Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle Combo, Beeman claims up to 495 fps but does not say weather thesis for the .22 or .177 caliber barrel? I placed 5 rounds through my Chronograph using the .22 Caliber barrel option and was able to average 432 fps using 14.3 grain lead pellets which gave me an energy of 5.93 foot pounds. I would say it is safe to say that you can hit close to the claimed velocity of 495 fps with .22 Caliber lead pellets but would need to be using a bit light grain pellets closer to around 10 or 11 grain. I did not test .177 caliber pellets but they are even lighter and will have an even higher velocity most likely be over 500 fps.

View fullsize

While I was testing velocity to make things more efficient I also placed my shots on a paper target setup around what I estimate to be around 80 feet down range. Now I admit I am not the best long range shooter especially with Spring Piston Air Rifles but I was able to get around a 4 inch grouping at this distance with two shots on top of each other and the other three where more sporadic but I’m pretty sure the spreed was mostly because of my shooting skills with a rifle like this. I was using the provided Beeman 4x30 optical scope for this test rather than the open sights. My pellet choice was .22 Caliber Crosman Premier Hollow Point 14.3 grain lead Pellets.

What I like about the Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle Combo is for sure the smooth trigger, the ability to change barrel to either .177 Caliber or .22 Caliber and I like the feel of the stock with its modern look and pistol grip for a comfortable hold. I was not a fan of the 4x30 scope as it seemed a bit fuzzy to me, maybe the optics where off on mine as the other Beeman 4x30 scope that came with the 1042 I tested was super crisp? Lastly I have to say the break barrel on this spring piston does take some arm strength so if you are smaller or not as strong then you may have difficulty cocking the Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle Combo. All in all it’s a good overall springer with lots of features for a relatively low cost.

In this Field Test Shooting Video I get outside for a change and test out the Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle to see what the actual velocity is and what kind of accuracy I can expect shooting at much further ranges than my Sea Can Airgun Range can offer. If you want to know more about specifications and details for this Break Barrel Air Riffle make sure to watch my Table Top Video for information along with more closeup video.

Starting with the velocity for the Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle, Beeman claims up to 475 fps but based on how light the spring feels when cocking this Airgun I was not expecting to get that high of fps. I placed 5 rounds through my Chronograph and was able to average 361 fps using 14.3 grain lead pellets which gave me an energy of 4.14 foot pounds. This isn’t bad in terms of energy but I would not suggest this Air Rifle for pest control because of the lower fps unless you are shooting really small pests at closer ranges.

View fullsize

While I was testing velocity to speed things up I also placed the same rounds on my paper target setup around I would say 80 feet down range (Best guess). Keep in mind I am not the best long range shooter especially with Spring Piston Air Rifles but I was able to get around a 3 inch 5 shot grouping at this distance with three of the shoots all within about 1 inch of each other so not bad for me. I was using the provided Beeman 4x30 optical scope which was nice and crips. My pellet choice was .22 Caliber Crosman Premier Hollow Point 14.3 grain lead Pellets.

What I like about the Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle is the easy to cock break barrel, the optical scope, the nice wood finish and its overall performance. I did feel the trigger was a bit heavy and it would be nice to have just a bit more power but that would come at a harder to cock break barrel. If you want an easy shooting and overall good looking lower cost Spring Piston Pellet Rifle in .22 caliber then I would recommend the Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle for sure!

Type: Pellet Rifle.
Manufacturer: Beeman
Model: 1042.
Materials: Metal and Wood.
Weight: 8.7 pounds (3.9kg).
Barrel: 16 inches (40.6mm).
Propulsion: Spring Piston.
Action: Single Action Single Shot.
Ammunition Type: .22 Caliber Pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 1.
Max FPS: 475 Claimed.

Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle is single action only requiring you to break the barrel and compress the internal spring piston before you can shoot it. This will also engage the safety which you have to disengage for each shot manually as an added safety measure. The actual trigger pull is fairly short and light. There is about 2mm of take-up and then a crisp short release with virtually no creep. The trigger is not adjustable but it feels nice as is.

Accuracy: I have not performed any shooting tests with the Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle as of yet, I hope to make that Video Review next week “weather permitting” as I want to get outdoors for this test to be able to shoot it at longer ranges. I expect the Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle to perform well in the accuracy department using the 4x32 optical scope. In terms of power I did notice that the spring does seem ot be fairly light weight so I am wondering I fi will get close to the claimed 475 fps using .22 caliber lead pellets.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle is a China made Air Rifle but looks to be well made. It is mostly metal with a European hardwood stock and feels good to hold resting the rubber butt-pad to your shoulder. I would have lied to have seen the trigger guard being made out of metal rather than plastic.

Realism: The Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle is not a copy of any real steel gun in production but does have that overall rifle shape to it so yet it looks like a gun but most people will be able to immediately see that it is a Pellet Rifle and that is exactly what it is since it is not trying to be anything other than that.

Pros:

• Nice European hardwood ambidextrous stock.

• Ported Muzzle Break is looks goos and may enhance performance a bit.

• .22 caliber with close to 500fps so as much energy as you can get without a firearms license in Canada.

• Sport trigger with autumn safety system.

• Comes with included 4x32 scope and mounts.

• Very solid build at 8.7 pounds.

• Nice rubber butt-plate looks good and adds to shooting comfort.

• Has a scope stop so your scope will stay nicely in place.

Cons:

• Does not come with included iron sights.

• Really hard to find this exact gun for info, not even on Beeman’s website.

• Made in China.

Comments:
The Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle is a very affordable Break Barrel Spring Piston Pellet Rifle with a really nice European hardwood ambidextrous stock. I like that it has that clean look with no iron sights but rather the included 4x32 optical scope which I am sure will really help with accuracy at further out distances. I hope my Field Test Shooting Video for the Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle will do it justice as a target rifle, I am not sure if this one will be any good for pest control as I have my concerns about the fps but will find this out shortly.

Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle is single action only requiring you to break the barrel and compress the internal spring piston before you can shoot it. This will also engage the safety which you have to disengage for each shot manually as an added safety measure. The actual trigger pull is pretty good overall. There is very little take-up but the creep is on the longer side but very smooth not requiring too much pressure. The release is also smooth but will take a bit of time to learn just exactly when it is going to release. There is an adjustment screw for the trigger but it is not advertised or explained in the manual exactly how this effects the trigger pull so a bit of trial and error may improve the trigger feel.

Accuracy: I have not performed any shooting tests with the Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle so far, I hope to make that Video Review next week “weather permitting” as I want to get outdoors for this test to be able to shoot it at longer ranges.

Type: Airsoft Rifle.
Manufacturer: Tokyo Marui.
Model: CQBR Block1.
Materials: Metal and Polymer.
Weight: 9.97 pounds (4.52kg).
Barrel: 9.84 inches (250mm).
Propulsion: Gas Blowback.
Action: Semi & Full Auto - SAO trigger.
Ammunition Type: .6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s.
Ammunition Capacity: 35
Max FPS: 350 Tested (.20 gram).

View fullsize

Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle is single action only so the charging handle will need to be engaged on your first shot un less the bolt is already back for a preview empty magazine and reload. The trigger is light and short with virtual no makeup but then just a bit of creep before releasing the internal striker and firing a round.

View fullsize

Accuracy: I did already perform my Field Test Shooting Video for the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle so I do have some information to share relating to the shooting abilities of this Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle. During my Velocity Chronograph Test I was able to average 332 fps using .20 gram Airsfot BB’s with my highest velocity shot hitting 350 fps. My 10 shot grouping at 30 feet away yielded a 1.5 inch spread and when I placed the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle in full auto it did open up a fair amount since the blowback action really rocks this gun around a lot making full auto shooting spread out much monroe than semi auto shooting but still so much fun to shoot in full auto :). You can watch my full Field Test Shooting Video here!

View fullsize

Build Quality: The build quality of the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle is one of the highest out there with high quality metal parts throughout this GBB AIrsfot Rifle both inside and out. Some of the internals include a heavy duty 19mm blowback piston, New mechanism Z-system to prevent wear and tear of bolt catch, piston absorber and friction relief bolt roller to reduce the burden on internal parts due to bolt operation.

View fullsize

Realism: The Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle is a near perfect replica of a Colt licensed AR 15 and Tokyo Marui has a ton of detail to the fit and finish including the unique and multiple finishes on the external parts: The rail hand guard, front sight, and stock reproduce the difference in FDE color tone applied to each part as in the real thing. The metal rail hand guard reproduces the color by alumite treatment with excellent scratch resistance. In addition, the upper / lower frame and bolts are made of Ceracoat, which has a strong coating film and excellent scratch resistance.

View fullsize

Pros:

• Super high quality GBB Airsoft Rifle.

• Bolt locks back for easy hop-up adjustments.

• Very heavy blowback operation.

• Lots of metal parts, mostly everything except the stock, fore grip and pistol grip.

• Lots of mounting points with it’s quad rail setup.

• Awesome internals: Heavy duty 19mm blowback piston, New mechanism Z-system to prevent wear and tear of bolt catch, piston absorber and friction relief bolt roller to reduce the burden on internal parts due to bolt operation.

• Attention to detail goes beyond expectation! Color reproduction and special surface treatment is a good example of this.

• Easy to mount a sling with it’s QD tactical sling mounts on handguard, lower receiver, and stock.

• Adjustable hop-up as expected.

• 6 portion rear stock.

• Removable and fully adjustable rear sight.

• Great for close and mid range shooting situations with a 350 average fps using .20 gram BB’s.

• Accuracy was good at 30 feet getting around a 1.5 inch 10 shot grouping.

View fullsize

Cons:

• My magazine did not seem to seal very well in the nozzle area when filling with propane but mag seemed to fill OK, just seemed to waste a bit of gas while filling.

• Heavy blowback makes full auto accuracy move around a fair amount.

• Pretty much have sue the included magazine filling tube to load BB’s in the magazine sop will need ot be carried with you in a game.

• On the very high end of the price spectrum.

Comments:
I am a bit of a sucker for Blowback Airguns in general whether it be Pistol, Rifle, BB, Pellet, Paintball or Airsoft. So right out of the box I loved the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle with its heavy blowback recoil. All that aside the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle is one of the highest quality Gas Blowback AR 15 type Airsoft Rifles you will be able to get your hands on assuming if you can find it in stock. It is a near perfect Airsoft Replica of a real steel Colt AR with only the best finishes and parts available for such a GBB Rifle.

Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Sig Sauer ProForce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle is essentially a Single Action Only electric on off switch that can allow for semi and full auto shooting along with a safety position based on the sector switch position. Because of this it is fairly short and light weight. There can be a slight delay from the time you pull the trigger to when the BB is released as since the electric motor needs to first pull back the internal spring before being released. A higher voltage battery will shorten the time between your trigger pull and the Airsoft BB release. Higher voltage battery also increases the full auto cycle rate.

In terms of accuracy, my 10 shot grouping at 30 feet away yielded a 1.5 inch spread and when I placed the Sig Sauer ProForce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle in full auto it did not open up that much more, only to around 2 inches since there is virtually no recoil to throw off full auto shot placement. You can watch my full Field Test Shooting Video here!

Comments:
The Sig Sauer ProForce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle is not only a looker but also a performer and is one of the higher quality AEG AR Styled Airsoft Rifles out there. I know there are a ton of AR AEG Airsoft Rifles to pick from but if you want something a little bit different then the rest than the Sig Sauer ProForce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle is for sure one to look at. It is a bit more money up front but will offer exceptional performance and the high quality internals will not only perform well but will last the test of time saving you money long term.

This was a fun Field Test Shooting Video Review to make for the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle. Overall it performed really well for me in terms of power and accuracy. As usual I test out the velocity pacing several rounds through my Chronograph and averaging them out. Then I proceed to test out the accuracy shooting 10 rounds in semi auto at a paper target 30 feet away followed by some full auto bursts to see how that effects the accuracy. You can watch my Preview Vide for the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle for some more details and specifications…

Starting with my velocity test, I placed 6 rounds through my Chronpgrah using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s with a fully gassed up magazine. The slowest shot was 332 fps while the fastest shot was 350 fps for a 6 shot average of 337 fps, the temperature was not overly warm in the Sea Can for this Field Test so I would imagine in a warmer shooting conditions the velocity would be a little bit higher.

Switch to my Accuracy test for the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle I set myself up using a rested seated shooting position with a sand bag up front for stability. My fresh paper target was 30 feet down range for this test. I was able to place 10 rounds in semi auto all within about 1.5 inches slightly high on the target but well centered left to right. This is just using out of the box already setup hop-up and sight adjustments. I then shot the remaining 25 rounds left in the magazine using several full auto bursts until the magazine was empty and as expected the grouping opened up more since this Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle really does have some kick and does move around a fair bit.

I really enjoyed testing out the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle in the Replcai Airguns Sea Can Indoor Airgun Shooting Range. It performed exactly how I was hoping with mid range velocity and excellent accuracy in semi auto. If you are looking for one of the more realistic and higher quality GBB Airsoft AR-15 type Airsoft Rifles on the market you really can not go wrong with the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle as it checks all these boxes!

Yet another Indoor Field Test Shooting Video performed in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range. Today I put the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle through its paces and it came out a winner for sure! I really like the way this AR15 type AEG Airsoft Rifle looks and feels and was hoping to get a good result today, I was not disappointed! I have not yet made my Table Top Video for the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle but plan for this next week, you can watch my Preview Video for some details and specifications in the mean time…

As I always do, I first tested out the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle by shooting several rounds through my Chronograph to see what the actual velocity is in fps. I used .20 gram Airsoft BB’s for this test and was able to get a 6 shot average of 408 fps so perfect for most shooting situations as this is not too hot or too cold. My slowest shot was 402 fps while the fastest shot was 410 so pretty consistent for sure.

Next I placed a fresh paper target 30 feet down range on my ammo trap and proceeded to shoot around 10 rounds into it using a rested seated shooting position with a sand bag up front to help with stability. The first shot out of the barrel felt and sounded like a double shot and this one did strike the target just a tad low so I left that one out of the test results. All the other Airsoft BB’s shot easily within 1.5 inches maybe even a bit tighter and all where well centered left to right but just a bit low on the target most likely because I was using a red dot with a riser that places the sights fairly high. Since the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle can also shoot in full auto I had to give it a try and pretty much emptied the magazine until the target actually fell off the ammo trap. The full auto grouping did open up just a slight bit as expected but only marginally.

I really like the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle, yes it’s an AR15 at it’s core but Sig has made it their own in terms of looks and styling. The performance was also excellent so this gun is not just for show. You will need a sighting system of some sort when you buy it so keep that in mind. I suggest a red dot of some sort but you could add on iron sights if you like more traditional sights.

In this Field Test Shooting Video for the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol I perform two main tests to find out what the velocity and accuracy capabilities are for it first using my Chronograph and shooting several rounds through it averaging out the fps. For the second test I shoot 7 rounds into a fresh paper target 30 feet down range to see how tight of a grouping I can get.

For my Velocity test Beeman claims the P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is capable of around 410 fps using standard lead pellets which I found to be a very close estimate as my results using 6.9 grain lead pellets achieved a 4 shot average of 404 fps so only 6 fps off the claim. There are lighter lead pellets out there and even lighter alloy pellets so higher velocities are possible using less grain pellets but a decent grain pellet hitting 400+ fps is not bad considering only one pump is required to get max velocity from the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol.

Moving on to the accuracy portion of the test I setup a fresh paper target 30 feet away and proceeded to put 7 rounds into it shooting from a seated and rested shooting position (sand bag up front, seated in the back). I was a bit surprised to only get a 1.5 inch grouping but it seemed like there where three separate sub groups that each overlapped within themselves? I think perhaps when I pumped the gun I may have been disrupting the rear sight a bit as it does have some play in it for adjustments so you want to be careful not to place your hands on the rear sight when cooking the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol. Out of the box the shot placement was fairly well centered with two of the rounds right dead center of the bulls-eye.

I kind of want to do a retest at some point maybe with a different pellet and also making sure not place my hands over the rear sight when cocking the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol as I feel this Target Pellet Pistol is capable of .5 inch groupings. The trigger is really nice and the rifled barrel is a decent length with easy to use sights so this Air Pistol should do a bit better than I was able to get shooting it on this day. Either way it is a really fun gun to shoot and with a bit of time figuring it out I am confident you can get better results than I did.

Trigger Pull: The Single action only trigger pull on the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is excellent, super light with just a little bit of take-up, the release is very predictable, one of the best target pistol triggers I have reviewed for sure. There is no adjustment but I do not feel it is nessisary at all.

Accuracy: Spoiler alert! Before posting the written version of this review I did make the Field Test Shooting Video so I can give you a little bit of a heads up on how well the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol in its Field Test Shooting Video. In terms of velocity it was really close to the 410 fps using lead pellets and for accuracy I was pleased with there results but feel the gun can do better than the result I got on this day, perhaps a different pellet choice, some more break in time or maybe just me shooting on a different day. That said I confident this gun is very capable of getting groupings under an inch in the right conditions, maybe even 1/2 an inch.

Build Quality: The build quality of the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is good considering it is a sub $100 target pistol with a great trigger, fully adjustable fiber optic sights and only one pump to get maximum velocity. The outer shell is polymer while the pump and valve body are aluminum with the barrel and main valve made out of steel. the trigger and latch are also metal.

Realism: The Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is not really a replica of a real steel gun in production per-say but the pistol grips are very Walther P series looking so if you are Walther owner or like the grips on the Walther P series guns then you will enjoy the hold of the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol.

Pros:

• Reasonable price for an accurate full featured target pistol.

• Safety automatically resets to the safe position when you pump/charge the pistol.

• No need for CO2 so very inexpensive to shoot.

• Virtually no recoil or vibration like you find in spring piston airguns.

• Fiber optic front and back sight, also fully adjustable for windage and elevation.

• Quality materials where you need them for expected long life and use.

• Only requires one pump for full 410 fps power.

• Works great for left and right handed shooters.

• Good if you like Walther type pistol grips, same shape and feel as many P series pistols.

• Excellent trigger feel and pull.

View fullsize

Cons:

• Loading pellets is a bit awkward.

• Have to pump it for each shot, no action shooting here.

• Not rally a replica if that’s what you are after but generally most Spring Piston or Pneumatic Airguns are not replicas with a couple exceptions.

Comments:
So the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is not really a Replica or even an action shooter but it does have its place in an airgun collection. I love blasting pop cans just as much as the next person but sometimes I like to slow things down and see how accurate I can get with an Airgun and not be too concerned that the gun is interfering with the accuracy. This is one way to really improve your shooting skills and having to work for each shot makes it that much more rewarding. The Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol allows you to have a great time honing in your shooting skills for not a lot of cash up front and cost per shot is only whatever the pellets cost you.
