• UMAREX PX4 STORM PELLET GUN REVIEW

• BERETTA CX4 RIFLE & PX4 STORM TACTICAL PISTOL ADDED TO COLLECTION

I've already done a review of the Non-Tactical Umarex PX4 Storm CO2 Blowback Pellet-BB Airgun so make sure to read up on it and also checkout my YouTube Video Review.

This post/video is mainly just to show you what the differences are between the Tactical Recon Version and Non-Tactical versions of the PX4 Storm and talk a little about the added accessories included in the Tactical version.

The base gun is literally exactly the same except for the two-tone coloration on the Tactical version. The Tactical version obviously comes with the addition of several accessories which makes it the "Tactical Model".

Firstly, there is the addition of the Suppressor. With an airgun, usually a suppressor is mainly for show as sound level is not often an issue! That said, an airgun can benefit from a suppressor in one big way - a longer barrel meaning more FPS. Unfortunately Umarex did not take advantage of adding barrel length to the PX4 Tactical model and I'm not really sure why? Even with a longer barrel I double that the PX4 Storm would exceed 500 FPS excluding it from the Canadian market. That's just my two cents on the suppressor but on a good note it seems to be all metal and well built.

There is also the addition of a "Tactical Bridge Mount" that allows you to add more accessories than just the under barrel ones available to the Non-Tactical version. The Tactical Bridge Mount actually gives you four location to mount more accessories - (bottom, top and both sides). The Tactical Bridge Mount is not the most ridged of mounts but it does the job and because it is more flexiable it may be less prone to breakage in a fall.

Umarex takes advantage of these rail locations by including a Red-Dot scope on the top and a Tactical Light on the left side. The Red-Dot scope is decent but there is room for improvement as it's fairly entry level. The Walther Tactical Light on the other hand is very nice and comes with a pressure sensitive thumb grip switch.

All in all you will pay about double for the PX4 Storm Recon over the basic PX4 Storm but it does make for an intimidating looking hand gun especially if you're into that tactical look!

• ZORAKI 925 DELUXE BLANK GUN ARRIVES!!

• ZORAKI 925 9MM P.A.K. BLANK PISTOL SHOOTING REVIEW

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer: Zoraki - Atak Arms.

Model:Zoraki MOD 925.

Materials: Metal, Polymere shell.

Weight: 1.8 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Single action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K.

Ammunition Capacity: 16/26 rounds (magazine dependent).

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is short and smooth, typical of a semi auto action.

Accuracy: NA.

Build Quality: The overall build quality of this gun is excellent. The design and materials all seem to be of good quality. I was actually not expecting this gun to be as well built and finished as it was. Inside it has a metal frame based on the MOD 914 Zaraki with an exo-shell made of a polymer type material. It also comes in a very nice hard shell case with cut outs for everything included. (The Zoraki MOD 925 blank gun, 16 round and 26 round extended magazine, cleaning rod, oil bottle, alternate barrel tip, barrel changing tool, and flare adaptor)

Realism: This gun is not supposed to be a replica of any gun in production but it does look a bit like a mini sub machine pistol. The Zoraki 925 looks and feels like a real gun, so make sure to take precautions when using this blank mini machine gun!

Purchased From:CanadaAmmo.com.

Pros:

• In Canada it is one of the few blank guns available for purchase that is not prohibited.

• Excellent construction, all metal internal frame with high quality external polymer shell.

• Well priced for what you get even at the newer higher pricing.

• Magazines interchangeable with the Zoraki MOD 914.

• Come with a very nice hard shell case and accessory package.

Cons:

• Not as readily available in Canada, the US and other areas..

• 9mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive.

Comments:

The Zoraki MOD 925 is a sweet full auto machine pistol and if you can find one is a great addition to anyone blank gun collection. When compared to other full auto blank firing machine guns or pistols (Voltran Ekol UZI 9mm P.A.K. Blank Gun / Voltran Jackal air pistol) it is well priced but does not sacrifice in quality!

• MARLIN COWBOY LEVER ACTION BB GUN

• MARLIN COWBOY LEVER ACTION BB RIFLE CHRONOGRAPH TEST

Type: BB spring air rifle.

Manufacturer: Crosman.

Model:Marlin Cowboy.

Materials: Mostly metal and wood.

Weight: 2.75 pounds.

Barrel: Smooth bore.

Propulsion: Spring.

Action: Lever action.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 700 rounds.

FPS: Up-to 350.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is pretty good, not super light but predictable.

Accuracy: About as good as you can expect from a kids sub $50 BB gun with a non-rifled barrel, it was actually better than I thought it would be. I did experience some flyer BB's, which may have been due to the gun not being broken in yet.

Build Quality: When you pay under $50 for a BB gun you don't expect the build quality to be over the top but this little BB rifle is actually pretty nice! It's almost entirely made out of metal and wood, even the lever is made out of metal unlike its competition the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun. The only plastic I found was the trigger, safety and front sight assembly.

Realism: Even though this BB gun is styled after the Original 1984 Marlin Cowboy, it's not a close replica. You have to keep in mind the purpose of this gun - meant primarily for young first time shooters. For its intent and purpose it does look really nice and if I was a youngster receiving this gun on a birthday or as a Christmas present, I probably wouldn't get much sleep thinking about shooting this gun.

Purchased From: Wholesale Sports Outdoor Outfitters.

Pros:

• Inexpensive introduction to the sport of Airgun shooting.

• Made out of Mostly Metal and Wood - Including the Lever.

• Large capacity internal barrel magazine (700 rounds).

• Adjustable rear sight.

• Decent 350 fps velocity.

• 20 pound lever action pull adding a level of safety to the over enthusiastic young shooter.

Cons:

• Plastic trigger, safety and front sight assembly.

• Very small trigger hole - if you are an adult shooter and have thick fingers (Didn't bother me)!.

Comments:

I think this is a wonderful little BB rifle and even though it's intended for the young entry level shooter it can make a great back yard plinker that anyone can join in and enjoy - adults included! The gold standard is the Daisy Red Ryder type BB, the Crosman Marlin Cowboy BB rifle is a nice addition to this market and is definitely a contender to think about.

I had an idea the other day, Since I have all these Replica Guns and just about any TV show, Movie or even Internet Video that uses guns is going to need guns that look real, why not put my Replica Guns along with myself up for hire!

The first thing one must do with an idea like this is a bit of research to make sure there aren't any major road blocks like the law, and getting thrown in jail, so I called my local RCMP Chief Firearms Officer and we had a talk. Long story short, if I can buy the guns I'm going to be using without a firearms license, then I don't need a Business Firearms License to use my guns on set.

What most large budget TV and Film productions do is a hire a "Gun Wrangler" who is authorized to transport and supervise real steel guns on set - Very Expensive!!!

So with my much lower overhead and next to no red tape I can now offer a large and growing assortment of Replica guns for use on set in TV and Film. Right now I am only offering this in Canada, in the Vancouver and lower mainland areas.

So if you need guns for your TV, Film or Movie - You know who to call - Click on the link for more info on TV, Movie & Film Prop Guns For Hire!

I just noticed that you can get Bulk Air-CO2 Adaptors on Amazon via a company called "Air Venturi". They have them for the Steel Storm, the Drozd and the Blackbird. The Blackbird one actually doubles as a stock mount for your CO2 or Bulk Air Tank.

• CROSMAN MARLIN COWBOY LEVER ACTION BB RIFLE REVIEW
• MARLIN COWBOY LEVER ACTION BB RIFLE CHRONOGRAPH TEST

I wasn't planning on buying a BB Air Gun today but I walked into my local Wholesale Sports Outdoor Outfitters and was expecting to see absolutely no airguns and/or airgun supplies but to my amazement they had an entire plethora of air powered weaponry on display. They went from literally nothing to a very decent assortment in about a week. Kudos to them!

So back to the Marlin Cowboy Lever Action BB Gun... I have been reading up on this nice little entry level BB rifle a bit recently as it only became available from Crosman in September of this year, so when I saw it there in the showcase for a measly $43.99 Canadian, I was a bit surprised. It has always been in my plan to pick up a Red Ryder type BB rifle for my son and I was in no hurry because he is only 3 1/2 years old but hey, why not pick one up now and when he's old enough I'll pass it on to him!

So why did I go for the Crosman over the Daisy? There's not a huge difference but I liked the look of the Crosman Marlin Cowboy over the Dasiy Red Ryder and also the fact that the Marlin Cowboy has more metal specifically the Lever is made out of metal where as the Red Ryder has a plastic lever.

The Crosman Marlin Cowboy is a replica or should I say styled after the Marlin Model 1984 Cowboy, as far as being an accurate replica... that's not really the purpose of this little BB gun. It's intended as an introduction to the world of shooting for kids and so it's pretty durable, cheap and far from over powered. The Marlin Cowboy is spring powered via the 20 pound pull lever action (May need an adult to do this adding another level of safety) and has an fps of up to 350. It holds up to 700 4.5mm steel BB's within the internal gravity fed barrel magazine and also has an adjustable rear sight. The barrel is not rifled as is with most BB guns.

I gave it a quick trial test, firing off about 50 BB's, some at miscellaneous cans and plastic items, and then 15 rounds at a target to get an idea of the accuracy. Even with its minimal fps, the Marlin Cowboy sends cans and small items flying with a nice cracking sound. I was fairly impressed with the grouping I got (about 2 inches from about 15 feet out), but I did get a few rouge BB's that for some reason liked to veer high and to the left. This is probably due to the gun not being broken-in yet and having metal and oil bits clinging on to some of the BB's. Also the gravity fed BB's require a bit of trial and error figuring out the best way to hold and cock the gun to ensure the least amount of misfires.

 

Overall the Crosman Marlin Cowboy Lever Action BB Rifle was very fun to shoot and the small interruptions when engaging the lever action made it that much more enjoyable!

Buy Blank Guns in the US

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:CP99 Compact.

Materials: Metal slide, composite frame.

Weight: 1.6 pounds.

Barrel: 3.5 inches, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, blowback, single action only.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 18 rounds.

FPS: 345.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex CP99 Compact is amazing, it is short and light making it one of the best action shooters I own. You can fire this gun accurately and fast all day long.

Accuracy: Good, I find the sights on the CP99 Compact set up to work really well with my shooting style. I don't have to make any adjustments and I'm able to get tight groups even when shooting fairly quickly.

Build Quality: Excellent, this BB gun is made in Japan and it shows, I have owned it for close to 5 years now and it still shoots just as good as the day I bought it. It's well made, well finished and feels great in the hand.

Realism: This Replica BB gun has many of the same characteristics of the actual 9mm P99 Compact with the exception of having a longer handle and much different safety mechanism. My particular version did not have a cut out ejection port either but I believe the newer models do have cut out ejection ports adding to the realism of this replica CP99 Compact BB gun.

Available at: the Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Decent reproduction of the original Walther P99 Compact 9mm.

• Would make an excellent training gun as it has a similar size, weight, and feel to the actual Walther P99 Compact 9mm handgun.

• Blowback action is very firm adding to the realism of shooting this weapon.

• Decent FPS and CO2 efficiency for a blowback BB air gun.

• Amazing trigger pull making it a blast to shoot.

• Picatinny rail for accessories like a laser sight and/or tactical light.

Cons:

• Ejection port on older models is not cut out but rather molded into the slide.

• Safety lever seems out of place and takes away from the realism of this replica.

Comments:

This fine Blowback BB gun was the airgun that got me back to being interested in Replica Airguns. I've put thousands of rounds through this BB gun and it hasn't always been treated with the greatest care, but still it has held up very well. The Umarex Walther CP99 Compact a really fun gun to shoot and is not only easy on the pocket book to purchase but also to shoot, as it easily gets 100 shots plus per CO2 cartridge.

My Vimeo Video Review for this Airgun:

Buy this gun in Canada

Buy this gun in the US

You may be surprised to know that the Airgun that started off my collection was purchased only about 4 years ago. As a kid I had a few Airguns growing up and then suddenly in my late 30's I just picked it up again. Anyways the Airgun this post is focusing on is the Umarex Walther CP99 Compact. This post is not intended to be a review but in summary the CP99 Compact BB Blowback BB gun has one of the nicest trigger pulls in my collection. It is so much fun to shoot, it's very well made and is reasonably priced.

The one feature,or lack of a feature that I never really like about the Umarex CP99 Compact was the molded ejection port. In other words the ejection port is not cut out of the slide on this gun but instead is molded into the slide to look like an ejection port.

That said I have noticed a few of these Umarex CP99 Compacts sporting a cut out ejection port and so I thought to myself that maybe people have been cutting the ejection port out themselves? Hey I thought about giving it a try several times myself. So I took a walk over to the Umarex US website and low and behold if you click on the 360 view, you will see that it too has a cut out ejection port. The photos on their site do not show this new feature but rather the older molded version. I can not confirm that all new CP99 Compacts will in fact have the cut out ejection port, but it does look like Umarex has moved to this updated version…

So I thought enough is enough! It's time to pull out my tools and cut into my beloved CP99 BB gun. The best way to show you what transpired next is with a series of photos. At the end of about 2 hours of work I have to say I am very happy with the end result!

• ZORAKI R1 (2.5) BLANK REVOLVER ARRIVES!

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer: Zoraki - Atak Arms.

Model:Zoraki R1 2.5.

Materials: All metal with plastic grips.

Weight: 1.7 pounds.

Barrel: 2.5 inches, semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Single and double action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. or 380 R Blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 6 rounds.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is good overall, even in double action mode it is smooth and not too heavy, in single action mode it is even lighter and shorter.

Accuracy: NA.

Build Quality: The overall build quality of this gun is very good. The design and materials all seem to be good quality. The cosmetics look good but when closely inspected there are small imperfections such as tool marks and some finishing blemishes. Not a big deal but if you are picky about this kind of thing then it may turn you off a bit.

Realism: This gun in theory is not supposed to be a replica of any gun in production but it does resemble many common snub nosed revolvers available such as the Rossi Snub Nosed Revolvers. It would be hard to tell the difference between the Zoraki R1 and a real snub nosed revolver even side by side. The only real tell tale sign would be if you looked at the front of the cylinder, you may notice the front bullet ports are smaller than they should be, more like a 22 caliber. The Zoraki looks and feels like a real gun, so make sure to take precautions when using this blank revolver!

Purchased From:CanadaAmmo.com.

Pros:

• In Canada it is one of the few Blank guns available for purchase that is not prohibited.

• All metal construction, with the exception of the grips.

• Attractive styling, many finishing options available.

• Well priced.

Cons:

• Finishing detail could be better.

• Pistol grips are hard plastic, would be better in rubber.

• 9mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive.

Comments:

The Zoraki R1 (2.5) is a nice addition to my Replica gun collection, if you are a Canadian then there are few options available to us if you want to legally own a Blank shooter. I do like the look of this Zoraki snub nosed revolver, especially in the two-tone configuration that I purchased. I'm not sure of the availability of Zoraki gun in other parts of the world but in the US there is another Snub Nosed Revolver that is virtually identical, made by the company Viper for about $99.

Each set of five shots are taken from different camera views. The first camera view is in a standard zoomed out view, then I zoom in on the gun with some slow motion shots mixed in, after that I shoot the last 5 shots with the camera on the target. Lastly I shoot a fifteen round burst in full auto mode with an on-target camera view.

The Cybergun GSG 92 shot close to a 2.5 inch group at twenty five feet in the standing position and without any kind of rest. Not too bad for a blowback BB gun!

• REPLICA BLANK GUNS

• BLANK GUN CANADIAN LAWS

I received these Blank Shooters at different times. The Kimar Lady K (Walther PPK Replica), I acquired before the Canadian Blank Replica ban and the Zoraki Mod.914 I purchase just recently from Vinzer Sports. I don't often get the chance to shoot these guns because they are just so darn loud! I even though I live on a farm, I still get nervous shooting off a couple rounds in fear that the cops might show up... 

Some of the Blank Gun specs:

• The Zoraki Mod.914 shoots 9mm P.A.K. blank ammunition

• The Zoraki Mod.914 has a 14 round magazine

• The Zoraki Mod.914 can shoot in either semi auto or full auto modes

• The Zoraki Mod.914 vents from the front of the barrel

• The Zoraki Mod.914 is NOT considered a replica because it does not closely resemble any other guns

• The Kimar Lady K shoots 8mm P.A.K. blank ammunition

• The Kimar Lady K has a 6 round magazine

• The Kimar Lady K can shoot in semi auto mode only

• The Kimar Lady K vents from the top of the barrel

• The Kimar Lady K IS considered a replica and therefore is prohibited in Canada

Here is a quick summary of these Blank Guns…

The construction of these Blank Guns is very different, the Zoraki Mod.914 is made with standards close to a real firearm and looks and feels very much like a real gun. The Kimar Lady K is not nearly as refined and lacks the fit and finish but still functions very well as a blank shooter.

The Zoraki Mod.914 has a double stack magazine that holds a staggering 14 rounds but this does make the handle a bit on the thick side. The Kimar Lady K has a single stack magazine that only holds 6 rounds but this makes the handle much thinner and easier to tuck away.

<!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-9036472715040282"; /* Replica Airguns Content */ google_ad_slot = "1487049688"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 15; //-->

Both guns vent out of the barrel but only the Zoraki Mod.914 vents out of the front making it more realistic when shooting. The Kimar Lady K vents out of the top of the barrel which takes away from the realism and also makes the Blank Gun much louder to shoot as the sound tends to travel back towards the shooter.

The Zoraki Mod.914 can shoot in semi auto and full auto modes while the Kimar Lady K is a semi auto only shooter. That said, I don't think I'll be shooting in full auto mode too often as blank ammunition is actually more expensive than regular 9mm ammo!

If you live in Canada you really don't have too many option available, pretty much all I could find for blank shooters are the Zoraki Mod.914 and Mod.925 as both of these Blank Shooter are not considered replicas. In the US there are definitely way more options available if you're looking for a blank gun, the only downside to US blank guns is that they all have to vent from the top of the barrel.

• BAIKAL MAKAROV MP-654K 4.5MM CO2 BB PISTOL COMPARISON

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Baikal.

Model:MP-654K.

Materials: Weapons grade metal slide & frame.

Weight: 1.7 pounds.

Barrel: 3.9 inches, metal-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double and single action.

Ammunition Type: Steel/Lead BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 13 rounds.

FPS: 380.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is good in single action mode (When cocked), when shooting in double action mode it is a bit heavy but it seems like over time the gun is working its self in a bit.

Accuracy: Good, not amazing but pretty good.

Build Quality: Excellent, this gun is made side by side with the original Makarov PMM (9x18) firearm that it is Replica of and uses most of the same parts with some modifications to make the BB version shoot 4.5mm BB's.

Realism: You simply can not get any closer to how close this gun resembles the original Makarov PMM (9x18). You can even field strip this gun exactly like the original. The only acceptation is when it come time to fire the BB gun version, The Baikal MP-654K is not designed to have blowback operation which is understandable as it would be impossible to fabricate this gun form the original and still give it blowback operation.

Purchased From: Private Air Gun collector.

Pros:

• Amazing reproduction of the original Makarov PMM (9x18).

• Would make an excellent training gun as it has the exact size, weight, and feel to the actual Makarov PMM (9x18) handgun.

• Made out of Weapons Grade Metal.

• If you can get your hands on one, it is sure to hold or even increase in value.

Cons:

• No Blowback action due to it being modified from the real gun rather than made for purpose from scratch.

• Almost impossible to find in North America!

• Could be a Pro or a Con but the slide spring is crazy heavy, which makes it hard to work the slide and field strip the gun.

Comments:

The Baikal MP-654K BB Air pistol is a treasure to own, it is unique in that it is derived from the actual Makarov side by side in the original factory in Russia. Most Air guns are designed from scratch and therefore usually only look like the guns they replicate but internally they are usually nothing alike. The Baikal MP-654K BB Gun is the real Makarov with a few changes to allow it to shoot BB's propelled by CO2. If you're a replica Airgun collector and you ever have the chance to pick one up, do it!

• UMAREX BERETTA PX4 STORM RECON CO2 BLOWBACK PELLET-BB GUN REVIEW

Type: Pellet air pistol.

Manufacturer: Umarex.

Model:PX4 Storm.

Materials: Metal slide, composite frame.

Weight: 1.6 pounds.

Barrel: 4.5 inches, metal-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, blowback, double and single action.

Ammunition Type: .177 cal. Pellets or Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 16 rounds.

FPS: 380.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is long and light when in single action mode, there is a slight heavy spot at the begging when the rotary magazine is turned to advance to the next pellet and then another break point near the end to actuate the hammer.

Accuracy: Good, not amazing but pretty good.

Build Quality: Excellent, with a very nice slide finish that is more of a dyed metal rather than painted like most airguns. The non-metal components seem to be very durable and the fit and finish to this gun is outstanding.

Realism: This is a very close replica to the real Beretta PX4 Storm with licensed trademarks and most everything in all the right places. The only real acceptation is the safety lever which has been repurposed from the Umarex CP99 Compact BB Blowback Airgun.

Purchased this gun in: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Good reproduction of the original Beretta PX4 Storm.

• Would make an excellent training gun as it has a similar size, weight, and feel to the actual Beretta PX4 Storm handgun.

• Blowback action is very firm adding to the realism of shooting this weapon.

• Good FPS and CO2 efficiency for a blowback Pellet air gun.

• Nice easy to use sights with white spot markings for quick targeting.

• Picatinny rail for accessories like a laser sight and/or tactical light.

Cons:

• Non functioning slide release on frame and safety lever on slide.

• Slide does not stay back after 8th shot so you need to count them off or you end up wasting a few shots before you realize no pellets are coming out.

• No way to keep the slide back, no working slide release.

• Safety lever seems out of place and takes away from the realism of this replica.

Comments:

The Umarex Beretta PX4 Storm is a very unique pellet blowback air pistol and there are very few airguns that sport all the same features. Not only is it a very close replica of the original Beretta PX4 Storm but it's also a blowback pellet shooter with decent FPS velocity. The Umarex PX4 Storm has decent accuracy and you can expect about 60 good shots out of a CO2 cartridge. At well under $100, this replica airgun is a great value and a nice addition to any airgun enthusiasts collection.

• CYBERGUN GSG 92 ON ITS WAY!

• CYBERGUN GSG 92 BB GUN FIELD TEST

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Cybergun.

Model: GSG 92.

Materials: 99% all metal build.

Weight: 2.4 pounds.

Barrel: 4.1 inches, brass, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x1.

Action: Semi auto (Selectable Full Auto with Mod) blowback, double and single action.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 22 rounds

FPS: 330

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is what you would expect from a real automatic pistol, in single action mode it is very light and short.

Accuracy: Very good, I was surprised!

Build Quality: Excellent, with almost all metal construction, good weight and craftsmanship.

Realism: This is as close as you can come to the look, weight, feel, and action of a Beretta 92FS styled gun, the actual gun it most closely represents is the Taurus Model 92B

Purchase it From: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• Extremely realistic airgun replica of a Beretta 92FS styled gun.

• All metal construction.

• Would make an excellent training gun as it functions just like the real Beretta automatic handgun.

• Blowback action is very firm adding to the realism of shooting this weapon.

• Field strips just like a real Beretta 92FS.

• Can be easily moded to fire in either Semi Auto or Full Auto by moving the safety to the all-the-way down position.

Cons:

• It goes through CO2 very fast.

• When the magazine releases, it simply drops out, no spring to it.

• No adjustable sights.

• Safety lever and mag release are plastic. (Not a deal breaker).

Comments:

This BB air pistol is styled after many modern blowback airsoft pistols, this means it functions very similarly to the real steel. It is a very hefty gun made almost entirely from metal and has a very snappy blowback action which adds to it's shooting realism. Even the magazine looks and feels like a real 9mm magazine with similar weight and dimensions. The Cybergun GSG 92 shoots very accurately for a BB airgun and has fairly decent power considering it's blowback function, this does result in heavy usage of CO2. I was able to get about 3 magazines out of a CO2 cartridge when in Semi Auto mode. When I shot in Full Auto mode I was lucky to get 2 magazines out of a CO2 cartridge. This is a must have replica airgun for many reasons; price, realism, all metal design, performance and also the fact that it's easily moded to select fire Full Auto.

• UMAREX H.P.P AND SA177 COMPARISON/REVIEW

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Umarex.

Model: HPP.

Materials: Mostly all metal construction.

Weight: 1.8 pounds.

Barrel: 3.6 inches, steel, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x1.

Action: Semi auto blowback, double action.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 15 rounds

FPS: 410

Trigger Pull: This gun has a medium trigger pull, the first 3/4 of the trigger pull actuates the hammer with a noticeable click when the hammer is all the way back and ready to fire. The last part of the trigger pull is much lighter. With practice you will be able to engage the hammer and then fire the gun in a kind of simulated single action mode.

Accuracy: Medium to good.

Build Quality: In its price range this air gun offers good build quality and value, it feels solid and well built and has a very hefty feel for a compact size gun. I would have liked to have seen the magazine made from metal rather than plastic.

Realism: This gun is loosely styled after a Sig Sauer 226-228. It is lacking a cut-out ejection port that would have added greatly to its realism. The grips are also molded into the handle giveing the gun durability but not authenticity. I would have also liked to see a heftier magazine as it's made out of plastic and feels a bit cheap compared to the rest of the gun. I do like the fact that the barrel tip has a large diameter opening making the gun look more like the larger caliber weapon it is styled after. 

Purchased this gun from: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• Well priced for what you get.

• Mostly all metal construction (Except for the magazine).

• The gun feels really good in the hand and shoots well with a very responsive kick.

• Good powerful and accuracy for a blowback BB gun.

• Much better trigger pull/feel than the SA177.

• Has good power to CO2 usage ratio, can get around 100 shots per CO2 cartridge.

• Picatinny rail for accessories like Laser sights and tactical lights.

Cons:

• Again with the plastic magazine but it is a con after all!

• Ejection Port should have been cut out to make the gun look more realistic.

• I would have like to have seen actual rubber grips rather than the moulded in metal ones.

Comments:

I found this Umarex Blowback BB gun to be a really accurate, responsive and enjoyable gun to shoot. It is very compact yet has nice heft and the blowback action is snappy giving you the feeling of a real automatic weapon. The fact that this gun is so inexpensive and yet delivers great power and CO2 efficiency makes it not only affordable to buy but also shoot on a daily basis.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 19 rounds

FPS: 400

Accuracy: Medium.

Build Quality: In its price range this air gun offers good build quality and value, it feels solid and well built, even the magazine is metal.

Realism: Even though this gun is not an actual licensed copy of a Glock 17C, it does resemble one very closely. There is good detail with a cut-out ejection port, concealed CO2 cartridge, trigger safety, and realistic larger barrel opening, making this Replica Airgun look very close to the genuine Glock.

Purchased this gun from: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• Well priced for what you get.

• Metal and Polymer construction like the real Glock.

• Would make an excellent training gun as it functions and looks much like the real Glock handgun.

• Good realism: Cut out slide ejection port, large barrel opening, concealed CO2 with flush magazine, safety on trigger.

• Nice fiber optic sights.

Cons:

• The trigger pull is a bit heavy making accuracy somewhat hard at first, once you get used to the break point, it gets easier to shoot.

• The slide spring is very light so the snap back is slow, it's not noticeable when you are shooting the airgun but more so when you release the slide with the slide release.

Comments:

I really like this Umarex air gun mostly because they put a lot of attention into the detail making this Glock Replica Blowback BB Airgun a treat to own and shoot. It's priced right so just about anyone can own one and once you get used to the trigger break point it makes for a decently accurate action plinker.

This video is not really a review but rather an instructional video on how to modify a Cybergun GSG 92 Blowback BB Airgun to shoot not only in single shot (Semi Auto), but to also have the ability to shoot in Full Auto mode with the flick of the safety to the down position. (Warning - This Mod will most certainly void your warranty!)

This Modifications of the Cybergun GSG 92 is a rather simple operation, all that is needed is to remove the slide and take off the right side grip, then remove a small internal piece and file it down slightly on one end. Put everything back together and away you go. Shoot in Semi Auto or Full Auto whenever you like!

I'll be doing a Review and Field Test on it shortly...

Hopefully I'll see another addition to my Airgun weaponry sometime next week... I just finished ordering a Cybergun GSG 92 which is an Airgun Replica of a Taurus 92B which looks much like a Beretta FS92. This will be my 4th Airgun purchase from Air Gun Source, a Canadian online supplier of Air Guns and Air Gun supplies.

My previous purchases from the Air Gun Source where my Cybergun Sig Sauer X-Five, and my Umarex H.P.P and SA177 Air Pistols.

Check back for more information on the Cybergun GSG 92.
