Although it looks like a semi auto, under the hood is a multi-pump pneumatic system that requires pumping between shots, you can pump just a few times or several to get right up to 625 fps with 7.9 grain pellets so I am assuming this one is not coming to the Canadian market in it's current configuration. By the way you can also shoot BB's by loading up to 350 into the BB reservoir located on the side of the receiver, while an 18 round track feeds the BB's for shooting.
Some other interesting points to mention are the adjustable rear stock and windage adjustable, dual aperture (2-position), flip rear sight, and elevation adjustable front sight that can also be removed entirely for alternative sighting like a red dot or scope.
The Crosman M417 - M4 styled pellet and BB rifle uses a polymer stock, receiver and forearm and sports tactical rails for mounting accessories in several locations. MSRP is right around $119.
Here 's to hoping for a Canadianized version some time in the near future...
Not only do I have some more photos of the Umarex Walther PPQ CO2 Pellet and BB Pistol, but I have one coming direct form Umarex USA so I should have it by mid week and a YouTube video and photos by the end of the week for you...
I found some more photos of the Umarex S&W M&P R8 CO2 BB Revolver although they look just a bit too good so I am thinking they are computer generated. At least it gives us more of an idea on what it looks like!
Sorry, I only have the one photo I could find of theUmarex Smith & Wesson M&P 45. This CO2 pistol shoots both BB's and Pellets and looks like it uses some of the design elements from other rotary magazine Umarex guns like the CPSport and CP88. Again I am not sure if the slide is metal or plastic because of the lower weight factor?
Specifications:
Uses 12 gram CO2
4.5mm steel BB's and .177 caliber pellets
380 fps
Double action

The Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P R8 is coming to North America, I know that for sure! From what I can tell by looking at the photos and the weight of the gun, it looks like it's got a lot of plastic components? it does have pretty good fps but states double action and not single action? Guess we'll have to see when it gets here?

I don't have too much in the way of specification for the Umarex S&W 327 TRR8 but I can say it pretty much looks like an ASG Dan Wesson that has been re-skinned! Something I found a bit funny with this gun si that it is supposed to be a TRR8 replica, and the real S&W 327 TRR8 is an 8 shooter and the Umarex copy is a 6 shooter! Maybe they though nobody would notice?
Specifications based on Photos and similar Dan Wesson:

400-450 fps
Single & double action
6 rounds
2.25 - 2.5 Pounds
All metal

One of my website viewers "Ian" tipped me of that Umarex has a new downloadable catalog available here. It has some more details on the Walther PPQ, S&W M&P 45 and S&W M&P R8 Pellet and BB CO2 pistols.
UmarexAir released a SHOT Show YouTube video of their new replica BB and Pellet CO2 Airgun pistol styled after the Smith & Wesson M&P 45. Like Umarex's brand new Walther PPQ CO2 Pistol, the M&P 45 also utilizes a two magazine system with an 8 round capacity, one in black plastic for the BB's and one in silver metal for pellets. This air pistol looks to share many similarities with the CP99 and CPSport in design.
UmarexAir just released a YouTube video showcasing their latest replica Walther PPQ BB and Pellet CO2 Pistol introduced at the SHOT Show. It come with two 8 shot rotary magazines, one in black that is used for BB's and one in sliver for the pellets. I am assuming the black one is made out of plastic and the silver magazine is made out of metal. It also looks like the PPQ has an all metal top slide and uses a similar deign to the Umarex Walther CP99 and CPSport CO2 pellet pistols.
Umarex introduced a few new Airguns at the SHOT show this week, two of them (the PPQ and S&W M&P 45) look to be BB/Pellet shooters that house a rotary magazine within the slide (similar to the Umarex Walther CPSport). From the closeup picture of the Umarex Walther PPQ, it looks like it is going to retail for around $70! I wonder if it has as much metal as teh other Umarex products similar in design?
I'm not sure if the Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P 45 BB/Pellet shooter uses a rotary magazine like the PPQ but I would bet money it does.
And lastly Umarex has introduced a new BB Air Gun Revolver, the Smith & Wesson R8 BB Revolver. Judging by the photo, I'd have to say it looks a bit like they used similar ideas you'd find in the Dan Wesson CO2 Air pistol.
Crosman introduced the Crosman C51, their latest Blowback CO2 BB pistol in 4.5mm - .177 caliber. It looks a lot like a Glock or perhaps the Umarex SA177, nevertheless it looks like a nice gun!
I don't have too much on it just yet for specifications other than it takes up to 20 - 4.5mm steel BB's, uses a standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge, and of course is a blowback operated gun with a metal slide and polymer frame.
