Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol Field Test Review

1 Comment

I believe we are now on my third Shooting review for an Umarex T4E Paintball Pistol Series. My first T4E Pistol Shooting Review was for the Umarex T4E Walther PPQ M2 .43 Caliber Paintball Pistol back in 2018. And then in late December of 2019 I made my Shooting Review for the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Caliber Paintball Pistol. So here we are today performing my Indoor Shooting Test for the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol and since both my previous tests yielded fps around 300 and accuracy in the 6 inch grouping range I kind of know what to expect for it.

First, I put four rounds through my Chrony Chronograph to see what the real world FPS would be, keep in mind I was using rubber balls rather than paintballs and the rubber balls are a little bit heavier and smaller in diameter than paintballs so this could bring the FPS down a bit compared to the slightly lighter paintballs. Using a brand new CO2, the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol average 303 FPS which was higher than the claimed 290 FPS. Temperature inside my Indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range was around 22 degrees Celsius or 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

Moving on to my accuracy testing as per my usual indoor field tests, I positioned myself 30 feet back from a fresh paper target and using a seated and rested shooting position I shot a full magazine (8 rounds) of rubber balls on target with the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol. As mentioned before I was expecting around a 6 inch grouping and got pretty close to it getting closer to an 8 inch 8 shot grouping. The rubber balls did center well on the target all placing uniformly arounds the bullseye. If I was aiming at a human sized torso, I would have hit it with every shot from 30 feet away so good enough for me.

As expected I was able to get very similar and decent results compared to the other Umarex .43 Caliber CO2 Blowback Paintball Pistols I have already reviewed. I did want to mention some of shooting qualities you will find with the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol. The trigger can feel a bit heavy especially using rubber balls as when you pull the trigger the inner barrel moves back and into the magazine going around the paintball and helping to seal off the CO2 from escaping. There is a bit of friction and I find the rubber paintballs seem to have more friction perhaps because the rubber grips more than the plastic surface on standard paintballs? This extra trigger friction or heaviness is really only noticeable when you are pulling the trigger slowly for accuracy testing but when shooting quickly as you would be more likely to do so in an actual training simulation, the trigger friction is all but forgotten about.

The blowback action is very snappy and the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is I would say on the loud side so keep that in mind. All in all another great addition to the Umarex T4E .43 Caliber Paintball Series of CO2 Blowback Paintball Guns.

Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Paintball Gun.
Manufacturer: Umarex - T4E.
Model: T4E TPM1
Materials: Metal & Polymer.
Weight: 532 grams (1.2 pounds).
Barrel: Smooth bore.
Power Source: 1x12 gram CO2.
Action: Semi-Automatic with blowback action.
Ammo Type: .43 Caliber Paintball or Rubber Ball.
Ammo Capacity: 8 Rounds.
FPS: 290.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol feels a lot like a double action trigger mainly because when you pull the trigger the inner barrel travels backwards into the magazine placing a paintball round in the barrel which seals the barrel with the magazine so less CO2 is wasted. This does make the trigger a little bit longer and heavier than a single action trigger. I believe the internal hammer/striker is engaged from the blowback action.

Accuracy: So far I have not had the opportunity to test the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol out so stay posted for my future Field Test Shooting Video where I will see what kind of fps and accuracy we can expect from the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol. You can watch my Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol as it is very similar in design and should for the most part perform about the same.

Build Quality: The build quality of the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is really very good, metal parts are where you would expect them, the slide, slide catch, barrel, magazine and most internal parts giving the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol a decent overall weight with the magazine in which makes the Paintball version a little bit lighter than a real steel Glock 17 (624 grams - 22 ounces). The Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol does have a polymer frame but again this is normal with todays modern guns and helps keep the weight down. Fit and finish is also very good!

Realism: The Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is not an actual replica of the the Glock17 Pistol, it is Umarex’s version of the Glock, Umarex does now the Glock lisense but perhaps they where not able to find an actual Glock 17 Paintball gun they could bring to market. The T4E TPM1 is designed to hold and feel similar to a Glock and for most real steel Glock owners the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol would be close enough for training purposes. You will find that the slide cycle distance is a bit shorter than it would be meaning that when the side catch is engaged the slide does not go as far back as it the real 9mm Glock. Field stripping the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol will requires some tools and pin removal.

Purchase it from: The Canada Replica Airguns Store or the US Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • Really great weight and solid feeling gun.

  • Full Metal slide that locks back on the last shot.

  • All metal heavy full size drop out magazine adds some additional weight to the gun.

  • Good for Glock shooters looking for a similar training weapon.

  • Everything works pretty much like the real gun so again great as a training tool.

  • Easy to see yellow dot sights front and back.

  • Working trigger safety.

  • Fit and finish is excellent.

  • Magazine spring release really shoots the magazine out.

  • 43 caliber barrel opening, adds to realism.

Cons:

  • White warning lettering stands out a bit too m much on the slide.

  • Magazine only holds 8 rounds, so you are going to need extra magazines for sure.

  • Blowback action is not full blowback, more like a typical half blowback BB gun.

Comments:

TheUmarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is mechanically very close to the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol and the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol in how it functions as a Paintball Pistol so I expect all of them to shoot very similarly and that’s not a bad thing since previous versions I have tested so far have performed rather well for me in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Shooting Range. If you are a Glock fan than the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is about as close as you are going to get at least for now to a Glock Replica Paintball Pistol. As of right now being stuck at home, perhaps a Glock Paintball Trainer like the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol using .43 caliber rubber ammo may just allow you to get some indoor shooting practice to keep your shooting skills up.

Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun Field Test Review

No Comments

At SHOT Show this year Umarex introduced the Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun which pretty much everyone seemed to like. The MP40 was their last Legends Full Auto BB Machine gun and it was also a big hit. In this Field Test Shooting Video I get to have some fun testing out the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun and see if not only does it look awesome but does it shoot awesome?

As always I like to test each gun out in the Replace Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airguns Range first placing 5 rounds through my Chronograph to find out the real world velocity of each test gun, then I shoot 10 rounds at a distance of 30 feet onto a paper target to see how tight of a grouping I can get shooting from a seated and rested position. When it come to full auto BB guns like the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun, I will usually switch up to full auto and dump the rest of the magazine to see if I can still sray on target with the remaining rounds.

For my Power or Velocity test I was using fairly new CO2, I had shot a full magazine a couple days before but the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun was all warmed up and ready to perform optimally. Umarex does state that it will shoot around 435 fps and with my 5 shot test I was able to confirm that with a 434 fps average. The temperature in the Sea Can was around 23 degrees Celsius or 73 degrees Fahrenheit.

For my accuracy test I setup a new paper target 30 feet downrange and proceeded to place 10 shots into it using the peep sights on the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun. Other than one slight flyer my 10 round grouping was around 3/4 of an inch and just a tad low of the bullseye but pretty close. I then switched over to full auto fun mode and with the remaining BB’s I unloaded all 20 rounds in about a half a second, or at least it seemed like that! The Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun even in full auto mode with the trigger matted till the gun ran out I was still able to get a 2 inch grouping!

I’m a big fan of the Umarex Legends Series BB Guns and the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun may be my favorite out of all of them to date. The Thompson M1A1 is just such a stand out Machine Gun we all know from the Mob shows. Not only does the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun look the part but it performs I would have to say so far the best when it comes to Full Auto Machine guns at least from Umarex. I do have to say that the Crosman CO2 BB AR Series does not disappoint. That said if you are looking for a more classic BB Machine Gun that performs as good as it looks then my advice is grab yourself one of the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun and add it to your collection.

Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Air Rifle / Machine Gun.
Distributer: Umarex
Model: Legends M1A1.
Materials: Mostly Metal build.
Weight: 7.75 pounds (3.5 kilograms)
Barrel: 12 inches - smooth bore steel.
Propulsion: 2x12 gram CO2.
Action: Internal Bolt Blowback single action.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm Steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 30 round full size drop out magazine.
Max FPS: 435.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun is single action only so you will need to charge the bolt for the first shot just like you would on the real steel Thompson M1A1, after that the blowback operation will charge the bolt which allows for semi and full auto shooting. Trigger pull is not very long or heavy.

Accuracy: I have not done my official Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun but expect to to shoot in a similar manner to the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun. Stay posted for my future Field Test Shooting video coming later on.

Build Quality: The Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun is pretty much all metal other than the stock and pistol grip. Pretty much everything that is black is going to be metal on this CO2 airgun. It weighs in at a hefty 7.75 pounds which is lighter than the real steel version by about 2 pounds but keep in mind the simulated plastic wood grips are a much lighter than real wood would be. Overall the fit and finish is really good, mechanical parts work well and seem to be well machined..

Realism: The Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun is a 1 to 1 replica of the real steel World War II Thompson M1A1 Machine Gun and is very authentic looking with similar operation. Even the magazine holds 30 rounds just like the real steel Thompson M1A1. The blowback operation will give you a little bit of that shoulder tap but of course nothing like a 45 caliber M1A1. As expected in todays Replica Airguns the barrel is recessed to give it a larger opening and the CO2 screw is hidden well enough. I would like to see at least a real wood kit for the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun which would not lonely look even better but also increase the overall weight closer to the 10 pound real steel weight.

Buy Airguns in the: Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • Yet another Classic Legends Replica Airgun from Umarex, maybe one of the best to date.

  • Mostly all metal design with good overall weight.

  • Semi and Full auto select-ability.

  • Dual CO2 design for increased shots and less cool down effect.

  • High capacity 30 round full size drop out metal magazine.

  • Umarex went with less rounds to get away from the double stay configuration of the 50 round Legends MP40 which was not always dependable.

  • Great looking replica of the real steel M1A1 in looks, operation and feel.

  • Internal bolt blowback will give a bit of recoil feedback feel.

  • Simulated wood looks very realistic.

  • Recessed barrel for added realism.

Cons:

  • Real wood hardware would have been cine and added  it of additional weight. Maybe Umarex will offer this down the road?

  • Price is getting up there a bit but still worth it if you are an M1A1 fan, imagine what a real one would cost?

  • Going to eat up CO2 quickly in full auto mode but you can always switch over to semi auto.

Comments:
Another great Legends product from Umarex, maybe even the best one so far. The only issues I had with the Umarex Legends MP40 was the double stack magazine feeding dependability with the 50 round double stack magazine not always feeding consistently. Umarex went back to a less aggressive closer to a single stack magazine on the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun which has a fewer rods but is expected to feed more consistently. I am looking forward to getting out and actually shooting the Umarex Legends M1A1 Blowback CO2 BB Machine Gun when I make my Field Test Shooting video. My advice right now with uncertainties about if and when we will get new inventory is buy now if you are in a position to as I am not sure how long they will last and when we will be able to get more stock.

Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle Table Top Review

4 Comments

Type: Pellet Rifle.
Manufacturer: Sig Sauer ASP
Model: Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP
Materials: Metal and Nylon Fiber build.
Weight: 7.5 Pounds (3.4 kg).
Barrel: 17.5 inch steel rifled.
Propulsion: PCP comes with an 3000 PSI 1100 PSI regulated (206 BAR) tank 213 cc.
Action: Semi auto with internal blowback. Single stage trigger single action trigger.
Ammunition Type: .22 caliber pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 30 rounds belt fed.
FPS: Claimed up to 700 fps with 12 foot pounds of energy.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle is actually pretty light and smooth when you consider the first part of the trigger pull is used to advance the belt fed 30 round magazine. I was expecting more added friction from the belt but this does not seem to be the case. There is some internal blowback action going on but it is only used to cock the internal bolt/striker which does lesson the overall amount of trigger pull required. The trigger pull is fairly short considering all that is going on and it's not overly heavy so quick and predictable action shooting is more than possible with the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle.

Accuracy: So far I have not done my official Field Test Shooting Video for the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle but I did have the chance to put some rounds down range inside my 40 foot Sea Can and I have to say it shoots really hard, even rocking my metal 22LR Metal Target Trap that I was knocking the cardboard and targets right off of . Sig Sauer claims up to 700 feet per second I have no reason not to believe this. In terms of accuracy, I’m not sure just yet what to think since all I did was shoot standing up unrested just to get some basic sighting adjustments in with my optic sights. We will see how the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle performs when I make my actual Filed Test Shooting Video for it!

Build Quality: The build quality for Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle is very good, you can tell Sig Sauer had a lot of hands on in the design and production of this Pellet Shooting Air Rifle! The materials used and fit and finish are top notch and the mechanical function again is really good. I am kind of amazed at how well Sigs belt fed magazine design works in terms of feeding and operation. So far I have not experienced any pellet feeding problems or malfunction of any kind.

Realism: The Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle is a 1 to 1 replica of the real steel Sig Sauer Virtus Patrol model and looks absolutely the part other than the noticeable PCP tank where a standard stock would normally be. What are you going to do since you really can’t hide even a small PCP tank inside a But Stock? This is just something you will have to overlook in order to get the consistency and power from PCP over CO2 based Airguns. Everything else about the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle is pretty much bang on in terms of realism including a fully working ambidextrous selector, magazine release and drop out magazine, charging handle and pop up sights.

Pros:

  • My new best semi auto pellet rifle replica I have seen and shot to date.

  • Excellent replica of the real steel Sig Sauer MCX Virtus (Patrol) with the exception of the PCP tank.

  • Awesome build quality, lots of metal parts and the nylon parts are true to form and very solid.

  • 700 fps and 12 foot pound of energy makes it powerful enough for small pest control.

  • 30 round full size belt fed magazine has super high capacity and works flawlessly.

  • Full PCP Tank will deliver up to 150 shots.

  • Trigger feels good, not too long or to heavy and very consistent feel on every shot.

  • Pop up front and rear sights adjustable for windage and elevation.

  • Lots of possible rail options with add on M-Lok hardware

Cons:

  • Will require a PAL Firearms License in Canada but is considered a Iong gun so not restricted or requiring registration.

  • Internal blowback action does not advance the belt fed magazine but does cock the internal bolt/striker making trigger pull lighter.

  • Pumping up the 213 cc 3000 PSI tank is a workout for sure but does get you 150 consistent shots..

  • The PCP tank is a giveaway when it comes to realism but with the tradeoff of more shot power and consistency.

Comments:

Prior to the release of the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle the Sig Sauer MPX .177 Caliber CO2 Powered Pellet Rifle was my favorite pellet based replica rifle since there really was nothing like it out there with a drop out belt fed high capacity magazine. Now with the release of the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle I have a new favorite Action Shooting Replica Pellet Rifle and with its additional velocity and power it can even double as a small pest control Airgun. For this reason I’ve set my Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle up with a traditional red dot for close range vermin termination but I’ve also added a 3x magnifier for when those pesky critters think they can outsmart me by keeping their distance. Not so! It’s too bad our Canada gun laws make it so difficult to have an Airgun like the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle if you are not a PAL owner, let’s hope Sig Sauer makes a slightly detuned version for the rest of the Canadian Market at some point.

ASG SHOT Show 2020 Las Vegas Interview

No Comments

ASG+Logo+White.jpg

Unfortunately the microphone system I was using for some reason did not record the Lapel Microphones we where record the audio with for this ASG SHOT Show 2020 Interview Video. The Camera we where recording video with did record audio but as there is so much back ground noise going on at large show like this, the audio is far from good. That all said try do you your best to listen to what we are discussing. There are sections where the audio is fairly distinguishable and sections in the video that are not due the proximity of the camera.

Bob from ASG and I go over serval products for ASG at SHOT Show 2020 this year. We first take a look at the new ASG Shadow 2 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. One interesting fact about the new ASG Shadow 2 is that it has an internal Hop-up system that help BB’s travel further out for longer range shooting. The ASG Shadow 2 also has a fully adjustable rear sight making this Blowback CO2 BB Airgun a potentially pretty decent target pistol.

Another new product from ASG we focused on is the Airsoft ASG B&T Universal Service Weapon designed for first responder situations. The ASG B&T USW has an extended rear frame allowing for a non-recipricating red dot sight placement. The ASG B&T Universal Service Weapon has a built in folding stock and you can trick it out with all kinds of add ons to make it your own.

Near the end of the video we took a look at some new ICS Airsoft offerings from ASG.

Umarex SHOT Show 2020 Las Vegas Interview

No Comments

This year at SHOT Show 2020 Mark from Umarex had a nice variety of new product to go over with us. Mark first went over the new CO2 Blowback Pellet firing Glock 17 which has a similar magazine and loading system as the Umarex SA10 Pellet Pistol.

We then took a look at another Glock replica, the Glock 18C Full Auto GBB Airsoft pistol with extended magazine, this one is sure to be a lot of fun with its selectable full auto feature and high capacity magazine. Perfect for hammering targets downrange or used as a very capable backup Airsoft pistol in the field.

Probably one of my favorites at the Umarex Booth this year was the Umarex Thompson M1A1 Legends Series CO2 Blowback Machine Gun. And yes it’s full auto capable along with blowback operation and a full size drop metal magazine that holds the CO2 and Steel BB’s. A nice addition to the Legends series of Pistols and Rifles.

Something really different this year for Umarex are the AirJavelin and AirSaber, two arrow firing rifles, the AirJavelin is CO2 powered and more tactical looking but still has more than enough power to shoot medium sized game, great for pest control while the bigger and (480 fps 178 foot pound) more powerful AirSaber is PCP powered and can be used for larger game like deer and wild bore. And it even looks like we will be selling these Arrow firing rifles in our Canada Replica Airguns Store with no PAL firearms license required!

Velocity Outdoor SHOT Show 2020 Las Vegas Interview

No Comments

As always Crosman delivered again this year with some new Airgun products to show us. In this Velocity Outdoors SHOT Show 2020 Las Vegas Interview we take a look at three main standouts for me. The Crosman Full Auto R1 AR CO2 BB Rifle, the Crosman Full Auto P1 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol and something a lot different, the Havoc Prime Spring Powered Foam Dart Blaster.

The Crosman Full Auto R1 AR CO2 BB Rifle is a hybrid of the DPMS SBR and the PDW form past years with a focus on bringing the Crosman name to their own more true to form AR style rifle. You still get interchangeable but stocks and pistol grips if you want to swap them out for a different AR type. The Crosman Full Auto R1 AR CO2 BB Rifle has a longer accessory rail with a more traditional muzzle break. The R1 also comes standard with a red dot sight.

Velocity Outdoors also introduced the Crosman Full Auto P1 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol with select fire semi and full auto modes. The Crosman Full Auto P1 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is essentially a KWC Taurus with the addition of a really nice laser sight.

One little treat that I think will be popular as a fun indroor shooter is the Havoc Prime Spring Powered Foam Dart Blaster. Unlike traditional Nerf guns the Havoc Prime Spring Powered Foam Dart Blaster actually shoots upwards to 130 feet per second and is super accurate with its rifled barrel. The ammo even looks like a 9mm round but not so deadly :) A Big thanks to Phillip from Velocity Outdoor for allowing us they interview him again this year!

Sig Sauer SHOT Show 2020 Las Vegas Interview

No Comments

This year Sig Sauer was showcasing their Airsoft Pistols with a new line called the Proforce series geared towards high end training. Sig has also included new Reflex Red Dot Sights that can be ordered already on the gun or as an add on accessory. The Proforce Pistol line includes both the M17 and M18 series Sig Sauer pistols.

Last year at SHOT Show 2019 Sig had introduced their Virtus .22 Caliber PCP Semi Auto Rifle but it was not ready at that time. Well now the Sig Sauer Virtus is ready to ship and yours truly will be getting one of these bad boys for review! Since the .22 caliber PCP Sig Sauer Virtus shoots around 700 fps with a 12 foot pound energy level you will need a PAL firearms license if you live in Canada but the Sig Sauer Virtus is a considered a “long gun” so no registration will be required in Canada.

Watch my Sig Sauer SHOT Show 2020 Las Vegas Interview for more info and cool stuff presented by Stephanie from Sig Sauer.

EKOL Firat Compact 9mm PAK Front Firing Blank Gun Silent Auction

7 Comments

It’s been a while since I had Blank Gun available for silent auction here in Canada and this one is an EKOL Firat Compact 9mm PAK Front Firing Blank Gun in great shape well kept and with only 20 rounds through it.

It comes with a hard shell case, the flare adaptor, take down tool and manual. Pretty much everything it came with. The finish is closest to a stainless but I believe was called Chrome back in the day. I would call it a Satin nickel finish? Anyway watch the video and look at the photos to get a better idea of what I mean.

The EKOL FIrat is a lot like the EKOL Jackal which also came in compact and Magnum version and resemble a Beretta 92. The EKOL Jackal however is semi auto and full auto capable while the EKOL Firat is semi auto only. This will save you a lot of money on blanks since blanks cost around $40 for a 50 pack.

Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 D.O.R GBB Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

1 Comment

Type: GBB AIrsoft Pistol.
Manufacturer: Made by Tokyo Marui.
Model: Hi-Capa 5.1 D.O.R.
Materials: Mostly polymer with metal components.
Weight: 1.85 pounds (839 grams).
Barrel: 4.4 inches (112mm) metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: Green gas.
Action: Semi auto blowback, single action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 31 round drop out full size metal magazine.
FPS: Claimed 365.

Trigger Pull: The single action only trigger pull on the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 D.O.R GBB Airsoft Pistol is extremely nice, there is virtually zero take-up with a light and easy release. You can really hammer out quick shots with this Airsoft pistol. Other than the Tokyo Marui Strike Warrior .45 1911, one of the best 1911 triggers I have tested so far.

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 D.O.R GBB Airsoft Pistol so I have no idea what the actual fps is and how accurate it will be but based on the reputation of Tokyo Marui Airsoft guns I have high expectations from the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 D.O.R GBB Airsoft Pistol when I perform my Field Test Shooting Video.

Build Quality: The Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 D.O.R GBB Airsoft Pistol on the outside it is mostly all plastic (Slide and portion of the frame). That said the quality is fantastic, fit and finish is top notch everywhere and you will find metal parts where they need to be as in the inner and outer barrel, trigger, hammer, slide catch release, back strap safety, trigger group, magazine and many more internal parts.

Realism: The Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 D.O.R GBB Airsoft Pistol is built on the Colt 45 1911 design but is obviously a more modernized and tacticle version of the classic 1911. The only factor that separates the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 D.O.R GBB Airsoft Pistol from that of a traditional 1911 in design is the lack of a barrel bushing which kind of makes field stripping and access to the Airsoft guns intervals a little bit easier. You still get that 1911 feel and awesome Single Action Only Trigger with your thumb safety and slide catch release in all the familiar places. Of course the Grip safety works as you would expect on a 1911.

Pros:

  • Light and crips flat faced SAO trigger feels great.

  • Fit and finish is excellent, next to zero slide wiggle.

  • Very cool looking tactical modernized 1911.

  • Direct Optic Ready removable rear sight to accommodate for included red dot mounting plates.

  • Optional under-rail plate included.

  • Full size high capacity 31 round double stack metal magazine.

  • Ambidextrous thumb safeties.

  • Working grip safety as you would expect on a 1911 based gun.

  • Most mechanical parts work just like a real steel 1911 and can be easily field stripped to access the hop-up.

  • Super fast blowback action, great for quick action shooting.

  • Decent 1.85 pounds weight considering much of the Airsoft gun is plastic.

Cons:

  • Mostly all plastic build.

  • Does not have the barrel bushing found on traditional 1911’s.

  • No white dots on rear sight.

Comments:

So far I have reviewed three of the Tokyo Marui Airsoft pistols and all three have impressed me. Even with a mostly plastic build at least externally in the slide and frames, these Airsoft Pistols still feel and shoot great even if they are a little on the light side. That may be a plus for some people who want a nice light weight side arm that is not weighing them down on the field. The plastic slides really cycle fast and are super snappy, when combined with short and light tirggers you can pop off rounds amazingly fast and on target. For the price I really think any of the Tokyo Marui Airsoft Guns would be a great choice. I do however have a soft spot for 1911’s and so for me the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 D.O.R GBB Airsoft Pistol would be my choice out of the three I have reviewed so far.

Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

It’s always fun shooting a Paintball Gun like the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol for a change but in this case it’s not all that different then shooting one of my BB or Airsoft pistols, with the acceptation of the .43 caliber rubber balls. I went with rubber balls rather than Paintballs inside my Sea Can Indoor Airguns Shooting Range to keep things clean. Actual Paintballs may have performed a little different than the rubber balls but this gives us a good idea on what the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is capable of

First, I put five rounds through my Chrony Chronograph to see what the real world FPS would be, keep in mind I was using rubber balls rather than paintballs and the rubber balls are a little bit heavier than paintballs so this could bring the FPS down a bit compared to the slightly lighter paintballs. Using a brand new CO2, the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol average 315 FPS which was higher than the claimed 290 FPS! Temperature inside my Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range was around 24 degrees Celsius or 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

Moving on to my accuracy testing, as per usual I positioned myself 30 feet back from my fresh paper target and using a seated and rested shooting position I shot a full magazine (8 rounds) of rubber balls on target with the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol. I was not expecting as tight groups as I would get using a BB or Airsoft pistol since Paintball guns are not known for super tight groups. I did manage to shoot around a 6 inch group with most of the shots staying within around 3 inches all pretty well centered. This is about what I was expecting as paintball guns are not meant for "target practicing", generally you are going to be shooting human sized objects and hoping to get some well placed center mass shots. 3-6 inch accuracy at 30 feet will get the job done for sure. I did find the trigger using rubber balls did have a bit more friction while the inner barrel seated itself into the magazine. When shooting quickly with the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol it is much less noticeable and overal the trigger is not bad.

I know some of you are going to ask about using the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol with rubber balls for non-lethal self defense and the reality is it will not stop a person who is determined on hurting you. There is simply not enough stoping power here. Will it a lot if you get shot up close with one of these Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistols especially directly on the skin ? For sure but a well timed punch has more chance of dropping someone than a .43 caliber rubber ball moving at around 300 FPS. You may scare someone off simply by brandishing it but you take the chance of the person calling your bluff. Perhaps 8 rubber balls to the face will change their mind but that's a chance you have to figure out if you want to take or not.

The Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is on par with the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol for being about the best I have seen in terms of replica paintball guns. It is as good as they come for realism. In terms of power and accuracy I was very pleases with the results I got. Throw in some extra magazines and you have yourself a nice trainer.

Buy in the Canada Replica Airguns Store or the US Replica Airguns Store

Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol Table Top Review

1 Comment

Type: Paintball Gun.
Manufacturer: Umarex - T4E.
Model: S&W M&P9 M2.0
Materials: Metal & Polymer.
Weight: 763 grams (1.7 pounds).
Barrel: Smooth bore.
Power Source: 1x12 gram CO2.
Action: Semi-Automatic with blowback action.
Ammo Type: .43 Caliber Paintball or Rubber Ball.
Ammo Capacity: 8 Rounds.
FPS: 290.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol feels a lot like a double action trigger mainly because when you pull the trigger the inner barrel travels backwards into the magazine which seals off the barrel form the magazine so less CO2 is wasted going it not the magazine and also placing a paintball round in the barrel. This does make the trigger a little bit longer and heavier than a single action trigger. I believe the internal hammer/striker is engaged from the blowback action.

Accuracy: So far I have not had the opportunity to test the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol out so stay posted for my future Field Test Shooting Video where I will see what kind of fps and accuracy we can expect from the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol. You can watch my Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol as it is very similar in design..

Build Quality: The build quality of the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is really very good, metal parts are where you would expect them, the slide, slide catch, barrel, magazine and most internal parts giving the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol a nice near 2 pounds (1.7 pounds) of weight with the magazine in which makes the Paintball version a little heavier than the real steal version (1.54 pounds) but once the real steal version is loaded with a full mag this may even out a bit. The Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol does have a polymer frame but again this is normal with todays modern guns and helps keep the weight down. Fit and finish is also very good!

Realism: The Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol  is a near perfect replica of the real steel S&W M&P9 M2.0 Pistol, from the fully licensed markings to the large .43 caliber diameter barrel. If you placed the Paintball version side by side with the real steel version I doubt you could tell them apart unless you start inspecting it really close up and working the action. You will find that the slide cycle distance is a bit shorter than it would be meaning that when the side catch is engaged the slide does not go as far back as it the real 9mm S&W M&P9 M2.0. Field stripping the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol will requires some tools and pin removal.

Purchase it from: The Canada Replica Airguns Store or the US Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • Really great weight and solid feeling gun.

  • Full Metal slide that locks back on the last shot.

  • All metal heavy full size drop out magazine adds some additional weight to the gun.

  • Very Accurate S&W M&P9 M2.0 replica, almost indistinguishable from the real still version.

  • Everything works pretty much like the real gun so a great training tool.

  • Adjustable yellow dot sights.

  • Working trigger safety.

  • Fit and finish is excellent.

  • Magazine spring release really shoots the magazine out.

  • Love the .43 caliber barrel opening, adds to realism.

Cons:

  • Trigger is a bit long as it shoots like a double action trigger, this is because the inner barrel has to travel back into the magazine before firing.

  • Magazine only holds 8 rounds, so you are going to need extra magazines for sure.

  • Blowback action is not full blowback, more like a typical half blowback BB gun.

Comments:

The Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is mechanically very close to the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol in how it functions as a Paintball Pistol so I expect both to shoot very similarly and that’s not a bad thing since the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol performed rather well for me in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Shooting Range. I like that the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol come with additional back-straps to fit any sized hands and overall I feel it would make a great training tool since the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol as it looks, feels and functions just like a real 9mm S&W M&P9 M2.0.

TR5 Pellet Rifle - Schofield No. 3 BB-Pellet Revolver - RG-88 Chrome Blank Pistol Unboxing Preview Video

No Comments

Here we have three very different products I Unbox and Preview for everyone. A Spring Piston multi-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle, a single action BB/Pellet revolver that’s not a Colt! And a really nice looking Semi Auto Blank Pistol in a Chrome finish.

Let’s start with the Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle. I think this is a really well thought out Air Rifle. It’s “almost a Bullpup” in design but it does actually load in front of the trigger just a bit, that said most of the spring piston is behind the trigger setup making it really compact yet with a longer than normal barrel compared to regular Break Barrel Spring Piston Air Rifles. The Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle also has a side lever cocking mechanism along with a 5 round auto indexing magazine which makes it much quicker to cock and reload for fast follow-up shots, again compared to a standard Break Barrel Air Rifle, not to mention no barrel droop! The Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle has a claimed fps of up to 500 so we are getting the max amount of velocity possible for our Canadian laws without making it a regulated firearm and requiring a PAL license. And by the way the Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle does come in both a Lime Green and all Black version just in case you are not a fan of the Lime Green finish I show in this video.

Moving onto the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica, if you like single action revolvers then take a look at the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica. It’s a lot more bulky than a Colt Single Action Revolver and also has that top Break design that makes reloading quick and easy. The version we are selling inner Replica Airgun Online Store is the kit version that comes with 6 BB shells and 6 pellet shells so you can take your pick on ammo types. The barrel is not rifled so Steel BB’s will not hurt the Airgun and since pellets are skirted they do not need a rifled barrel to fly straight and true. You can expect around 445 fps for the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica.

Last up is one of my favorite Blank firing Semi Auto Pistols which I have already full reviews in the all Black version so checkout those Video Reviews for more info on the ROHM RG-88 line of Front Firing 9mm Blank Pistols. All I really wanted to show you guys with the ROHM RG-88 9mm PAK Blank Pistol in Polished Chrome is how awesome it looked with the Polished Chrome finish and that we do have more choices now than we use to have in terms of what finish you can get your ROHM RG-88 in. Personally I like the Polished Chrome finish the best but you can also get it in all Black and Matte Chrome, so you decide which one you like the best.

Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

If you have not already checked out my Table Top Video then make sure to do so for more details and specifications and also some nice close up video of the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. In this video we see how well the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol performs in the Replica Airguns Indoor See Can Airgun Shooting Range. I test out the velocity and accuracy and also talk a little bit about how the gun performed overall for me. You can also checkout my Table Top and Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Glock 17 3rd Gen as it is mechanically very similar to the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol.

Starting off with my velocity power test using my  Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph, I was able to get really close to the factory claimed fps of 360 with an average of 347 fps. Shooting conditions where decent in the See Can compared to outside temperatures in late October but still not that warm at only 16 Degrees Celsius (60 Degrees Fahrenheit), a lot warmer than outside but still not as warm as your typical summer day. In warmer conditions I am sure I would have hit the claimed 360 or even high fps with the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol.

Next for my Field Testing , I placed 10 shots into a paper target with my Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol from 30 feet down range using my standard seated and rested shooting position (Seated in the back and rested on a sand bag up front). I was able to get right around a 2 inch 10 shot group, not bad at all! The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol did shoot a little bit high and to the left which for some reason is common with most CO2 action airguns and I know it’s not entirely me since others have commented the their airguns shoot a bit to the left in most cases. Elevation was pretty close at 30 feet but just a tad high.

The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is very similar to their Umarex Glock 17 3rd Gen in terms of their mechanical build and function since both use the same magazines and have that semi blowback action but I can say the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol not only looks better in my opinion but the slide is improved as it seems to have a less metallic sound and the slide wiggle is very minimal. The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol also did not lack in the performance department getting really close to the the claimed 360 FPS while shooting about the same 10 round grouping of 2 inches which is about what I expect for an action BB shooter. Now we have a bunch of Umarex Glocks to chooses from, checkout our Replica Airguns Canada and US Online Stores for Glock airguns and find one that’s right for you!

Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Table Top Review

3 Comments

Type: Blowback CO2 BB Pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by Umarex.
Model: Glock 19X.
Materials: Metal & Polymer.
Weight: 1.5 pounds (662 grams).
Barrel: Smooth bore 3.36 inch barrel (85.3mm).
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto blowback, double action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 18 round drop out full size metal magazine.
FPS: Claimed 360.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is what I would call a double action trigger mainly because there is an indexing of the BB from the magazine into the breach area every time you pull the trigger which means the take up is longer thanks a standard Glock take up and there is a little bit of friction from the mechanical mechanism that indexes the BB making the trigger feel more like a double action only trigger.

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol so I can only quote what Umarex is saying in terms of FP2 which is 360. That said I have already done a full Table Top and Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol which is essentially the same mechanical gun but with a slightly longer slide and barrel. In my Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol I was able to get a 5 shot average fps of 363 in a bit cooler shooting conditions along with 2 inch 10 shot grouping from a 30 foot shooting distance.

Build Quality: The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol seems to be really well made. Fit and finish are nice and slide wiggle is minimal. There is a bit of a clanky sound when the slide cycles but not as bad as the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. I also think the Coyote finish is the nicest looking with its black on tan two tone look.

Realism: The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol absolutely looks the part of a Glock 19X, sitting on the table and even holding it in your hand you are going to think it's the real deal until of course you drop the magazine and see that it is a CO2 mag. Mostly everything operates like a real Glock 17 but the slide is not a full blowback meaning it only goes back about 3/4 as much as a real Glock 17 slide would. One other noticeable difference is the ability to quickly field strip the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol, you will need to remove a pin since the take down tabs are non functioning and moulded into the frame.
Available From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Nice weight and feel to it, build quality seems good.

  • Really nice looking replica of the real steel Glock 19X, love the Coyote color.

  • Fully Glock licensed.

  • Easy to see white dot sights front and back.

  • Recessed barrel for added realism.

  • Accessory rail for adding a laser or tactical light.

  • Full size drop out metal magazine that holds the CO2 and 18 4.5mm steel BB’s.

  • Safety built into the serial number plate area keeps it well hidden. 

  • Warning instruction are nice and discreet under trigger guard

  • Not bad feeling double action only trigger as the blowback pre-cocks the internal hammer/strike.

  • 360 fps is decent for a blowback BB gun.

Cons:

  • Does have blowback action but not full blowback.

  • Slide sound is a bit clanky but not as bad as the 17 Gen 3 Blowback.

  • Sight are non-adjustable which is common with low cost action shooters like this one.

  • Would have liked to have seen more pristine packaging from Glock over the plastic clamshell

Comments:

It’s great to see Umarex expanding their live of Glock licensed Airguns and the addition of the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is welcome! Some of you are not going to like the semi blowback action but it does mean you get higher fps and more shots per CO2 while still getting that simulated recoil form the blowback action. I honestly thing the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is one of the most attractive Glock Airguns with it’s Coyote Tan frame and slide with black highlights, I also like the compact size for its shortened frame and slide over the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. So many to choose for now but I guess that a good thing or perhaps just get them all!

In order to win the Pro Card I would need to win my hight class and then win the overalls against the other winners in their hight class.

To date I have come close to winning the IFFB Pro Card but just missed it on two occasions. I am hoping to get the IFBB Pro Card this times around but I know the competition will be very competitive.

Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol TableTop Review

1 Comment

Type: GBB Airsoft Pistol.
Manufacturer: Made by Tokyo Marui.
Model: FNX-45 Tactical.
Materials: Mostly polymer with metal components.
Weight: 1.8 pounds (830 grams).
Barrel: 4.4 inches metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: Green gas.
Action: Semi auto blowback, singled double action trigger.
Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 29 round drop out full size metal magazine.
FPS: Claimed 366.

Trigger Pull: The single action trigger pull on the Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is light and smooth with just a bit of take-up and a crisp release. You can also shoot in double action, as expected the trigger pull in double action will be longer and heavier but it’s still pretty smooth and not at all heavy.

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol so I have no idea what the actual fps is and how accurate it may be but I can say I like the feel of how it dry fires so if that’s any indication as to how well it performs then I have high hopes for the Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol.

Build Quality: The Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol even though on the outside it’s all plastic (Slide and frame), the quality is fantastic, fit and finish is top notch everywhere and you will find metal parts where they need to be as in the inner and outer barrel, trigger, hammer, slide catch release, back strap safety, trigger group and many more internal parts.

Realism: The Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is virtually an exact replica of a Real Steel FNX-45 Tactical, looking at photos online of the powder burning version it is nearly impossible to tell them apart. You will find FN licensing in all the right places but keep in mind Tokyo Marui does not actually hold an FN license so yours will come with black stickers over the FN markings. Easy enough to take off :) In terms of functionality the Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol operated pretty much exactly like the real steel version including the ability to field strip it for easy Hop-up adjustments.

Pros:

  • Ultra realistic Replica of the FNX-45 with authentic markings.

  • Removable slide cover allows mounting of red dot sight.

  • 16mm CW threaded barrel is mock suppressor-ready.

  • Multiple grip backstraps for a custom fit to your hand size.

  • Overall quality, fit and finish is excellent.

  • Easy to see white dot sights front and back.

  • Full size full metal magazine.

  • Ambidextrous safety, slide catch and magazine release.

  • Can easily put a mock suppressor on it.

  • Comes with additional internal barrel lengths for a mock suppressor or no meat tenderizer setup.

  • All mechanical parts work just like a steel FNX-45.

  • Super fast blowback action, great for action shooting.

Cons:

  • Mostly all plastic build.

  • Not actually licensed by Tokyo Marui.

Comments:

I am really liking the Tokyo Marui product line and welcome it to our Canada Replica Airguns Store. The Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is one the nicest quality Airsoft guns I have reviewed so far, it really is a work of art. The only thing that would be nice is a metal slide but I can live without it since everything else about the gun is nearly perfect! The Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is really built for everyone, left hand or right handed, large or small hands, the full set of ambidextrous controls and interchangeable back-straps will take care of you.
