ASG/KWA MP9 A3 GBB Gas Blowback Airsoft Machine Pistol Review

5 Comments

Type: Airsoft Machine Pistol.

Manufacturer:ASG.

Model: ASG/KWC MP9 A3.

Materials: Metal & plastic.

Weight: 3.9 pounds.

Barrel: 5.5 inches, smooth bore.

Propulsion: GBB - Gas Blowback.

Action: Semi-full auto selectable SAO.

Ammunition Type: Airsoft 6mm Plastic BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 48 rounds.

FPS: Up-to 375.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the ASG/KWC MP9 A3 is single action only as the charging handle has to be pulled back to open and release the bolt for the first shot. There is a trigger safety but it is not noticeable when shooting this Airsoft machine gun. There is a short take-up and then a light release and short reset.

Accuracy: Right away I put my NcSTAR 1x25 Red Dot sight on the ASG/KWC MP9 A3 as it was a perfect fit for this small and compact machine pistol, it did not take long to sight it in and I was able to get decent accuracy in both semi auto and full auto burst due to the mild but very fast cycle rate. I was able to get a 2 inch grouping at 30 feet out using a rested position. In full auto mode the grouping did not really get too much wider. I also got between 350 and 370 fps when testing the ASG MP9 on my Chronograph.

Build Quality: The ASG/KWC MP9 A3 Airsoft Machine Pistol is built very well, using similar components that you would find on the real steel version so yes it has a plastic shell but that is to be expected. The ASG/KWC MP9 A3 does use lots of metal where it needs to be like in the internal parts, pins, bolt, barrel, rails and even the magazine. The fit and finish is near perfect!

Realism: I have to say the ASG/KWC MP9 A3 is pretty much a bang on copy of the real steel Brügger & Thomet MP9 A3. The only telltale sign is the ASG branding on the right side along with the 6mm caliber beside the ASG logo. One other small detail is the magazine which is metal on the Airsoft version where as you would find the real version uses a transparent polymer magazine.

Available at the:Canada Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Extremely fun to shoot and it sounds awesome!

  • Rate of fire is very fast and does not slow down much even when the gas is running low.

  • Good overall power for a short barreled gas blowback gun.

  • Very nice trigger with working trigger safety.

  • Excellent replica of the real steel version in just about every way.

  • Can add a lot of gear and make this gun your own.

  • Decent price for all you get out of the ASG MP9!

Cons:

  • Bolt didn't lock back for me when the gun got really cold?

  • Real magazine would actually be transparent polymer.

Comments:

I really like the ASG/KWC MP9 A3! I love the look, I love the features and the price is also really good for what you are getting. I was really impressed with the super high cycle rate and because of the small low weight bolt the gun does not move around too much or slow down in rounds per minute even when you do a full mag dump. There is however just enough blowback recoil to give you that GBB realistic feel! I also found that the magazine holds a lot of gas so it is possible to get two magazine worth of shots out of a single fill, that's around 100 shots. I also like how easy it is to add to the ASG/KWC MP9 A3, I had mine pimped out and looking amazing right away and suggest if you get one you do the same :)

Bruni ME Ranger 1873 Colt Single Action Army Blank Revolver Review

7 Comments

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer:Bruni.

Model:ME Ranger (1873 Colt 45 Single Action Army).

Materials: Mostly Metal with wood grips.

Weight: 2.2 pounds.

Barrel: Cylinder venting with fully plugged barrel. (No Red Tip)

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Single action only.

Ammunition Type: .380 Crimped.

Ammunition Capacity: 6 rounds.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Bruni ME Ranger Colt 45 Single Action Army Revolver is very light as it is a single action revolver and most of the effort is done by pre-cocking the hammer. All you are doing is releasing the hammer which with the ME Ranger is nice and light with next to no creep.

Accuracy: NA.

Build Quality: The overall build quality of the Bruni ME Ranger is nice an believable. It has good weight to it and the finish is not perfect but you would not expect and Single Action Army styled revolver to be perfect. All the mechanical parts felt tight and functioned perfectly for me.

Realism: The Bruni ME Ranger Blank Revolver is a pretty decent replica of a real Colt 45 Single Action Army Revolver in terms of size, weight and most general appearances. It does lack the 45 caliber larger more open Cylinder holes as it is chambered in .380 caliber but you can only see this when looking from the forward position of the ME Ranger. My version also had the plugged barrel so all flame and gasses emit from between the cylinder and the back of the barrel, it would be nice to un-plug this barrel so some of the gasses and flame would come out the front of the barrel.

Purchase from: A private collector.

Pros:

  • Well made, materials fit and finish is all very good.

  • True to the original 1873 Colt Single Action Army Revolver.

  • Real wood  grips.

  • Nice light single action trigger.

  • Made in Italy.

Cons:

  • Not fornt venting.

  • 9mm P.A.K. blanks do not fit - too long.

  • Wood grips are a bit bland.

Comments:

As my first replica Old West Single Action Blank Revolver, it is a nice addition to my collection. It would make an awesome prop for any cowboy or cowgirl costume, maybe I can convince my wife to go as a cowgirl this year for halloween ;) Overall I really like the Bruni ME Ranger and I plan to perhaps open the barrel up so that I get a more realistic shooting experience with flames and smoke coming out the front of the barrel. That and perhaps some work on the grips to give them a more rugged and weathered look.

WE G39C GBB Airsoft Assault Rifle Full Review

7 Comments

Type: Airsoft Assault Rifle.

Manufacturer:WE.

Model: G39C.

Materials: Metal & plastic.

Weight: 6.1 pounds.

Barrel: 9.5 inches, smooth bore.

Propulsion: (GBB) Gas Blowback.

Action: Semi & full auto.

Ammunition Type: Airsoft 6mm Plastic BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 32 rounds.

FPS: Up-to 420.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the WE G39C is about what you would expect from a Single action only Semi Auto rifle, it has a very slight take up and then about a 4 pound trigger pull that is crisp and smooth.

Accuracy: Out of the Box the WE G39C shot great up close and farther out, the hop-up seemed to be already dialed in, and even though I was using only .20 gram BB's which is a bit light for this gun, I still found they tracked well and stayed on target both near and far. My 30 foot semi rested testing produced a nice 2 inch grouping. Shooting the barrel out on the tactical range I did have to aim just a bit higher when back out at 60 or more feet away. Maybe a slight bit more hop-up would do the trick.

Build Quality: The WE G39C is very well made, yes it has lots of polymer but so does the real version and the plastic seems very durable, The fit and finish looked great and there is a lot of metal in and around the G39C where it would be on the real steel gun and where it is really required to be. Like the trigger, flash hider, rails, pins, switches, rear sight, magazine and most internal parts also.

Realism: I bet if you had the real G36C sitting beside the WE G39C you would be hard pressed to tell them apart? WE did a great job making this Airsoft version very believable not just in appearance but also when field stripping it and shooting it with it's heavy bolt and felt blowback recoil.

Available at the:Canada Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Amazing attention to detail, just like the real H&K G36C.

  • All metal internals and metal external mechanical parts.

  • Semi auto & full auto selectable.

  • Awesome blowback kick really hits you in the shoulder.

  • Field strips just like the real steal version.

  • Nice high 400 FPS and good accuracy near and far.

  • Full ambidextrous, even the charging handle can be switched side to side.

  • Can get up to three magazines per propane fill up.

  • Very well priced for how awesome it really is.

Cons:

  • Some people may not like that it is a polymer built gun externally but it is what it is!

  • And that's it!

Comments:

So far I have been impressed with We an Airsoft company, they really know how to make very realistic and high quality products. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the mostly polymer external build on this gun but the sheer quality and solid build took away any ideas that tis Airsoft gun would be anything like a toy. The WE G39C is one of the best performing GBB Airsoft guns I have tried out getting up to 90 shots per gas fill on a magazine which is very impressive. We was also able to keep the price down which means more people can get into one of the G39C's. If you've been thinking about adding one of these to your arsenal I don't see any reason why not to!

Umarex Desert Eagle and Cybergun Jericho 941 CO2 Airgun Silent Auction

1 Comment

I recently picked up a couple of really nice condition pre-owned Air pistols, both replicas of some IWI (Israel Weapon Industries) semi auto pistols. The biggest and baddest being a very authentic replica of the notorious Desert Eagle. This Umarex CO2 Airgun Desert Eagle shoots .177 caliber pellets using an 8 shot rotary magazine and has realistic blowback action with over 400 fps velocity. It has excellent accuracy and packs a real punch.

I also have my Cybergun Jericho 941 which again is a very believable replica of the real steel semi auto pistol, some people refer to it as the Baby Eagle. The 4.5mm BB version has a full metal slide and full size drop out metal magazine that holds the BB's and CO2.

Both guns are in like-new condition and come with the original boxes and manuals, the Desert Eagle even comes with three magazines.

To get in on the bidding, simply Email Me Here with your highest bid by no later than October 10th 2012 at midnight. At the conclusion of this Silent Auction I will notify the winner.

This Airgun Silent Auction is open to both my Canada and US customers, Canadian Customers will pay an additional $17.99 for Shipping/Handling plus their local provincial sales Tax. US Customers will pay $29.99 International Canada to US Shipping & Handling but will not pay any sales tax. Good luck to everyone!

Checkout my related links for both of these very nice air pistols:

RAP4 RAM Walther P99 .43 Caliber Blowback Paintball Pistol Review

18 Comments

Type: Paintball Pistol.

Manufacturer:RAP4.

Model:RAP4 RAM P99

Materials: Metal & Polymer.

Weight: 2 pounds.

Barrel: 4 inches, metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: 12 gram CO2.

Action: Semi auto, single & double action with blowback.

Ammunition Type: .43 caliber paintball or rubber bullet.

Ammunition Capacity: 9 round magazine.

FPS: 250-300fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Real Action Paintball RAP4 X50 is rather nice in single action, being a true blowback gun, the cycling of the slide not only chambers a round but also pre-cocks the hammer allowing for a very smooth and light single action trigger pull. There is also a working de-cocker that allows you to release the internal hammer. Double action is noticeably heavier but would only really be used on the first shot if you had already used the de-cocker.

Accuracy: After my previous review of the RAM X50 I was expecting this gun to perform pretty much the same. I did find it to be a bit more accurate within the 20-25 foot range using the rubber balls but when I got out into the field and switched over to the Paintballs I found that they where really hooking and darting all over the place? Mind you, this gun was right out of the box and not broken in yet. I also got a bit lower fps (right around 250) out of the RAP4 RAM Walther P99 compared to my RAM X50 but again my review unit had not been adjusted in any way and I imagine I could turn it up a bit to get more fps out of it if I wante to. The plus side is I was able to get an astounding 8 magazines worth of shots out of one CO2.

Build Quality: The RAP4 RAM Walther P99 styled Paintball Pistol is built very well, it does have a polymer frame but the gun overall has lots of metal parts and a very good overall 2 pounds weight to it dry. The blowback action is very snappy and all the mechanics and fit and finish all look and function very nicely. The slide spring is nice and firm giving this paintball gun a snappy recoil and the feel closer to a real gun than that of an airgun.

Realism: The RAP4 RAM Walther P99 was primarily made to simulate real word shooting environments for Police and Military users and even includes Walther branding and licensing, it is a very believable looking and functioning copy of the real steel semi auto pistol it replicates. Other than the exception of the CO2 Cylinder hanging a bit far out of the bottom of the handle. The RAM P99 would be hard to tell from the actual Walther P99, especially when looking down the large .43 caliber barrel. The Blowback action and firm recoil help pull off the believability when shooting this ralistic Paintball Pistol.

Purchase it from:The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • Good weight and solid feeling gun.

  • Full metal slide with nice heavy blowback recoil.

  • All metal heavy 9 round magazines.

  • Very Accurate Walther P99 replica including licensing and trademarks.

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

  • Good accuracy up close and lots of shots per CO2 for such a large round.

  • Nice light single action trigger and working de-cocker.

  • Fairly affordable.

Cons:

  • CO2 cylinder sticks out from the handle and looks a bit odd.

  • Paintball accuracy out at range was unpredictable.

  • Does not field Strip conventionally.

Comments:

This was my second time testing a RAP4 RAM product and again I took the chance to use it as it was intended to be used - in the field going through simulated tactical situations. My targets where barrels this time but they could have been other people with similar paintball guns shooting back at me which would have put even more pressure on me and forced me to really see where my mistakes are being made. That's the whole point of this type of training airgun, make it as real as it can be without your actual life being in danger so that when you are in danger you will not have to think about what you are doing but simply react based on your previous training. I think anyone who is a gun owner wanting to improve their reactive shooting skills should invest in one of these Paintball guns. One day you may thank yourself but let's hope it does not come to that!

Mystery (KSC?) 17 GBB Airsoft Pistol Review

12 Comments

 

Photo of Mystery KSC Removed by Request from Glock "Renzulli Law Firm"

All references, photos and video claiming that any item in this Review/Video looks like a Glock or is a Replica of a Glock in any way shape or form have been removed from this post as requested by Glock"Renzulli Law Firm"

Type: Airsoft GBB pistol.
Manufacturer: KSC?
Model: NAME REMOVED 17.
Materials: Plastic & metal.
Weight: 1.6 pounds.
Barrel: 4 inch, non-rifled.
Propulsion: GBB - Propane.
Action: Semi auto - single action only.
Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 23 round drop out all metal magazine.
FPS: Up to 330.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this Mystery NAME REMOVED 17 GBB Airsoft pistol is very nice with some take-up at the beginning but once you hit the resistance part it is smooth and the release is very light. The NAME REMOVED trigger safety actually works on this model which is a nice touch!

Photo of Mystery KSC Removed by Request from Glock "Renzulli Law Firm" 

Accuracy: I found the (KSC) NAME REMOVED 17 to have very good accuracy, getting about a 2 inch 8 shot grouping from 20 feet out in a semi rested position (sand bag up front, standing in the back). I also put 5 rounds through my Chrony Chronograph and this Airsoft Gas Blowback pistol averaged right around 326 fps using .20 gram 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.

Photo of Mystery KSC Removed by Request from Glock "Renzulli Law Firm" 

Build Quality: The (KSC) NAME REMOVED 17 Airsoft pistol uses a combination of plastic and metal and has a decent overall weight and feel to it thanks to the full size drop out metal magazine. The frame like a real NAME REMOVED is plastic but the slide and outer barrel are also plastic which on real steel NAME REMOVED would not be the case. Even so the overall weight is good and the fit and finish is very good. Even though this is a pre-owned Airsoft gun it is in as-new condition and seems to be holding up very well.

Photo of Mystery KSC Removed by Request from Glock "Renzulli Law Firm" 

Realism: The (KSC) Airsoft NAME REMOVED 17 is very realistic in appearance and operation with all parts working exactly as they would on a real NAME REMOVED 17. Even the trigger safety works and field stripping this Airsoft gun is the same as a real NAME REMOVED. NAME REMOVED trademarks are present throughout, the only real giveaway is the plastic slide and outer barrel but you would need to examine this gun close up to see this for yourself.
Purchased privately, check out some other Airsoft guns in the Replica Airguns Store.

Photo of Mystery KSC Removed by Request from Glock "Renzulli Law Firm"

Pros:

  • Very realistic and accurate licensing.
  • Got a tight two inch group but was a bit low, hop up should get it back up.
  • Decent FPS for a short barreled GBB Airsoft gun.
  • Even thought the frame and slide are polymer, it has good weight to it.
  • Everything works like the original, field strips and most mechanical parts are metal.
  • High capacity 23 round full size drop out metal magazine.
  • Adjustable rear sight for windage but is a bit lose on mine.
  • Good usage of the gas - two full magazines.

Photo of Mystery KSC Removed by Request from Glock "Renzulli Law Firm"

Cons:

  • Hard to get here in Canada.
  • Mostly plastic main build - slide and outer barrel are plastic.
  • Rear sight was a bit lose.

Comments:
I am hoping that someone will know for sure who make this Airsoft NAME REMOVED 17 but either way it has been great playing around with it and doing my research to see if I could find out on my own. It's hard to tell you to go out and get one because I'm not sure what to go out and get at this point or even if this version can still be purchased and if so where from? All these questions... I can tell you that it's great to finally have an actual NAME REMOVED replica in my collection, I have a few NAME REMOVED-like guns but until I got my hand on this Mystery NAME REMOVED 17 GBB Airsoft pistol I really only had close proximities. So if you have the opportunity to snatch up something like this I say go for it!

Crosman 357 .177 Caliber CO2 Pellet Revolver Full Review

9 Comments

Type: Pellet Revolver.

Manufacturer:Crosman.

Model:357.

Materials: Metal and plastic.

Weight: 1.75 pounds.

Barrel: 6 inch, rifled.

Propulsion: 12 gram CO2.

Action: Revolver - single and double action.

Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.

Ammunition Capacity: 10 shot rotary magazine.

FPS: Up to 435.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman 357 is decent in both single and double action. Single action is much shorter and lighter but not overly light with just a very short break to it. In double action it does get heavier and much longer as is expected. People with small hands may have to adjust their grip so they will have enough extension for the entire trigger pull, this is partially because of the larger grips that sit far back on the revolver frame.

Accuracy: I found the Crosman 357 pellet revolver to have excellent accuracy, getting about a 1 inch grouping from 30 feet out in a semi rested position (sand bag up front, standing in the back). I also put 6 rounds through my Chrony Chronograph and the Crosman 357 averaged 402 fps using RWS 6.9 grain lead pellets.

Build Quality: The Crosman 357 CO2 Pellet Revolver uses a combination of metal and plastic and has a good overall weight and feel to it. There could be more metal (like in the outer barrel) but Crosman used metal parts where they really needed to be like in the main frame, trigger, hammer, CO2 area and inner barrel. This air pistol has been around for a long time and so you can count on all the bugs being worked out. You will not find a great amount of detail in the Crosman 357 and some of the joints seem a bit unrefined but overall it is a nice looking airgun and feels well made.

Realism: The Crosman 357 is a replica of the Colt Python 357 Magnum and overall looks similar in shape. I would have liked to have seen a full swing our cylinder but this would have meant a complete redesign and the Crosman 357 main design goes back to the early 80's. Yes there are some newer revolver styled airguns like the Dan Wesson that have full swing out cylinders (BB only) but I still would have liked to have seen this, maybe on a future updated revision?

Available in the:Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Inexpensive Pellet revolver, not really any other pellet revolvers out there to compare to.

  • Good usage of metal parts. (Metal  trigger, hammer, frame, barrel, CO2 tab screw).

  • Single and double action trigger.

  • Excellent accuracy and good power with a reasonable amount of shots per CO2.

  • Can mount optics on the dove tail railed barrel.

  • High capacity 10 round removable magazine.

  • Fully adjustable rear sight.

Cons:

  • Outer barrel is plastic.

  • Grips and trigger pull length may be a bit long for smaller handed people when shooting in double action.

  • Some of the finish detail could be better (seems).

  • A slight recess on the inner barrel would have added to the realism.

Comments:

Reviewing this fun Crosman Pellet revolver was a bit of a walk in the past for me. back when I was in my early teens I had one and it went with me on just about all of my back woods adventures. I'd have to say I learned how to shoot with this pistol and it felt right at home back in my hands after all these years... Back in the day I didn't do any scientific testing with my Crosman revolver but I can tell you it shot hard and true then, just like it does now! I'm not sure why I held out so long getting another one, the price is right and if you are looking for a nice multi-shot pellet pistol with excellent accuracy and good power for well under $100, the Crosman 357 might just be for you.

KWC SP2022 - Taurus PT24 - Sig Sauer P226 X-Five - Crosman 357 Update Video

3 Comments

Sorry for not posting any videos for almost a week but the kids are back to school and I was also away in Whistler on a short family get away for the first half of the week. So I thought I would put together a quick Update video to show off some new products added to the Canada Replica Airguns Store and also an upcoming product review of a Crosman Pellet Revolver.

In this video Update I show you around two KWC Airsoft pistols, the Sig Pro SP2022, and the Taurus PT 24 (24/7), both of which I just added to the Canada Replica Airguns Store. I also show you a very nice alternative to the Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 X-Five - the KWC Equivalent which almost exactly the same but with an adjustable rear sight, flared magwell and an unlicensed slide.

One air pistol I get asked to review over and over again is the Crosman 357 .177 caliber pellet revolver and so I contacted Crosman and they where kind enough to send me one for review, so keep checking back for that one, it will be coming up soon.

I also show off an assortment of Airsoft Magainzes and Airgun Magazines recently added to the Replica Airguns Canada Store.

Oh-yh, one more thing. I briefly mention an upcoming contest/giveaway that will coincide with my 10,000,000 YouTube Channel Video View that should be happening in the next couple of week!

KWC Sig Sauer P226 X-Five Added to the Canada Store

No Comments

I have been selling the Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 X-Five in both the Standard and Open versions for some time now but it can be hard keeping them in stock as they are very popular. I just added another option of the same gun but in the KWC configuration, the KWC version is similar to the Cybergun Standard model but with adjustable sights and a flared magwell similar to the Cybergun Open version. Magazines and parts are all interchangeable.

The Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 X Five is a CO2 powered 4.5mm all metal BB pistol. This detailed BB shooter is a replica of the real Sig Sauer P226 X Five and features a full size drop out metal magazine that holds both the 4.5mm BB's and the CO2 cartridge. It features a working slide with realistic blowback operation and can be fully field stripped just like the actual sidearm.

Your choice of Cybergun Standard or Open Version or KWC Adjustable Sights - click appropriate option.
  • 4.5mm BB
  • CO2 Powered
  • 20 round magazine
  • 340 fps
  • 2.6 pounds
  • 4.4 inch brass non-rifled barrel
  • Single and double action
  • Blowback operation
  • All metal design
  • licensed markings (on Cybergun models)

Webley Tempest Pellet Pistol Table Top & Shooting Review

8 Comments

Type: Apring piston air pistol.

Manufacturer: Webley.

Model: Tempest.

Materials: Mostly metal with minimal plastic parts.

Weight: 2.1 pounds.

Barrel: 6.9 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: Spring-piston-operated.

Action: Single shot.

Ammunition Type: .177 & .22 caliber pellets.

Ammunition Capacity: 1 pellet.

FPS: 400-499.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Webley Tempest is very good, being that it is single action, there is next to no take-up and the pull itself is very light, yet not so light that you would accidentally shoot the gun. This helps a lot with accuracy. And to top it off, you can even adjust the trigger pull weight to your liking from 3-5 pounds!

Accuracy: Being that the Webley Tempest is a spring piston design, there is a noticeable amount of felt recoil when the spring snaps backwards, and I say backwards because it compress towards the front of the gun. With many spring piston rifles the spring snaps forwards almost giving a reverse recoil effect. The Webley Tempest recoil hits you in a familiar direction which made the airgun feel a bit more natural and I believe helped me to get a nice 1.5 inch 5 shot grouping from 30 feet out in a semi rested position. I also got a 400 fps average rating form my .22 caliber 11.9 grain RWS pellets which took me right up to the Canadian limit of 5.7 Joules to stay just within the limits of the uncontrolled firearm status for an airgun. FEW!

Build Quality: Build quality is very good, most of the gun is all metal with a few plastic parts, basically the nose cap and hand grips, everything else is metal on the Tempest. The Webley Tempest has a nice compact size for a spring piston design and has a nice weight to it making it feel very solid but not overly heavy. I do have to say the cocking effort is very heavy and you will have to try a few different techniques until you find a way that works for you.

Realism: This is not a replica airgun so to speak of but the basic pistol grips and trigger are designed to replicate a revolver more than anything. The Tempest is very unique and its basic design roots go back to the 1920's.

Purchased From: the Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Very accurate for a spring piston air pistol.

  • One crank - one shot.

  • Mostly metal and very solid!

  • Fully adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation.

  • Small and compact yet very effective power.

  • Trigger pull adjustable from 3-5 pounds.

Cons:

  • If you're left handed the grips will not be as comfortable for you.

  • Sight adjustment will take some time to get right.

  • Spring recoil takes some getting used to so practice - practice - practice.

  • Cocking effort especially on the .22 caliber model is very heavy.

Comments:

Some people may qualify the fact that this "new version" is now made in Turkey but with that said I have been selling the Turkish made Webley Alecto for some time now and it has been one of my most trouble free airguns in the web-store. The Tempest looks to me to be just as well made and a nice perk with the Turkish made Tempest is its jump in velocity with the .22 actually hitting 400 fps and the .177 getting right around 500 fps, not bad at all for a fairly short barreled pistol. I also really like the small size this airgun has, it's no larger or heavier than say a Beretta 92 yet somehow it has to cram all the mechanics for the spring piston design into it and still get good performance. The only real reason I would not recommend this gun to some people is if you are of slight build or perhaps have some hand or wrist problems because it does take some effort to cock this gun, if this is a factor for you, you may want to go with the .177 caliber version as it does have a lighter cocking effort.

KJWorks KP-02 - KP-07 - Elite 1A Blowback Airsoft Pistol Review

2 Comments

Type: 6mm Plastic BB Airsoft Pistols.

Manufacturer:KJWorks.

Model:KP-02, KP-07, Elite A1

Materials: Metal slides & frames.

Weight: 2/2.1/2 pounds.

Barrel: Metalnon-rifled smooth bore.

Propulsion: 12 gram CO2.

Action: Blowback, Single action only on KP-07 - Single/Double action on KP-02 & Elite 1A

Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 20/22/20 rounds.

FPS: 366+ fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on all of these KJWorks Airsoft guns is very nice in both single and double action, The KP-07's true single action only 1911 trigger is a beauty, with no take up at all and a very light and smooth release. The Beretta Elite 1A is the next best with a surprisingly light weight double action trigger. All of these guns will be shooting primarily in single action as the blowback precooks the hammer with each shot.

Accuracy: I shot all of these fine KJWorks Airsoft guns from 20 feet out in semi rested position and got very similar results. I was able to place 10 rounds in a 2 to 2.5 inch grouping for all guns, with the KP-07 1911 shooting the most well centered. The Beretta Elite 1A shot well centered also but just a hair under center mass while the KP-02 seemed to shoot low but could be adjusted to shoot higher by increasing the hopup. All three KJWorks Airsoft pistols got right around the 330-350 fps mark (5 shot average chrony testing) with the KP-7 1911 and Elite 1A Beretta hitting the higher end and the KP-02 Sig P229 getting right around 330fps. All three KJWorks Blowback Airsoft guns should be able to hit 366+fps in the right shooting conditions.

Build Quality: I was extremely impressed with the build quality of these KJWorks Airsoft guns, the fit and finish is the best I have seen on any of my guns including Airguns also. Even after shooting several magazines worth of BB's, the painted metal friction areas did not seem to show nearly as much wear as some of my other blowback guns. The tolerances between the moving parts like the slide and frame are very tight showing excellent workmanship and machining with these KJWorks Airsoft guns.

Realism: All of these KJWorks 6mm Airsoft pistols are based on real steal versions of the same guns (KP-02 is a Sig Sauer P229 copy, the KP-07 is a Colt 1911 copy and the Elite 1A is a Beretta Copy). They are very good replicas even though the KP-02 and KP-07 do not have any specific licensing on them. The Elite 1A does have licensing which is a plus. The only negative thing I can think of is the fact that the KP-02 has the rather unusual CO2 magazine that sticks out of the bottom of the handle that is not at all like a real P229 magazine. I do believe you can find a GBB magazine that would be much more in line with the real steel version of this magazine.

Available in the:Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • All metal guns with good overall realistic weights.

  • Very heavy blowback on all guns, especially the KP-07 1911

  • Excellent fit and finish - best I have seen.

  • Nice mid range fps - great for on the field.

  • Very consistent accuracy for all KJWorks Airsoft guns.

  • Very believable replicas of the real steel versions.

Cons:

  • KP-2 and KP-07 did not have official licensing.

  • All seem to go through CO2/Gas fairly fast.

  • KP-02 had a rather strange looking CO2 magazine.

  • KP-02 slide did not lock back after last shot, may be due to CO2 magazine configuration.

Comments:

I guess you get what you pay for, these KJWorks Airsoft guns do fetch a bit higher price but when you take them out of the box and really look at them closely you can see why, they are pretty much flawless and the fit and tolerances are very good with very little play in the mechanical parts. Shooting these guns is just as wonderful, they all worked very well and got consistent accuracy and fps between shots. There where no ammo loading problems and no unexpected behaviors with any of these Airsoft pistols. If you can afford to pay that little bit more for one of these very high quality KJWorks Blowback Airsoft guns, you will not be let down!

Umarex Walther P99 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol Added to Canada Store

No Comments

Another Blowback Airsoft pistol added to the Canada Replica Airguns Store and this one won't break the bank!

The Umarex Walther P99, one of Walther's most popular semi auto pistols. This CO2 powered Airsoft version captures the realism with its BLOWBACK, semi-automatic action and full metal slide.

A 12g CO2 cylinder loads in the back of the grip and the Airsoft BB magazine releases with the push of a realistic magazine release lever. The recoil action made live by the power of CO2 kicks the slide back giving you that oh-so-realistic feel. A great pistol for Target, Airsoft Games and owners of the P99 or similar firearms.
  • 6mm Airsoft Plastic BB's
  • CO2 Powered
  • 15 round drop out metal magazine
  • Up to 380 fps
  • 1.5 pounds
  • 7.25 inch length
  • Double action only
  • Blowback
  • Metal slide - polymer frame
  • Tactical Rail Mount
  • Fully Licensed
  • Comes with red tip (Can be removed with a bit of work ;)

Umarex HK P30 CO2 Pellet & BB Pistol Table Top & Shooting Review

5 Comments

Type: Pellet & BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:HK P30.

Materials: Metal & plastic construction.

Weight: 1.7 pounds.

Barrel: 3.88 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, single and double action.

Ammunition Type: .177 caliber lead pellets & 4.5mm Steel BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 shot pellet rotary magazine & 15 shot inline BB magazine.

FPS: 360/410

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex HK P30 is fairly nice in single action mode while shooting in double action will give your trigger finger a bit of a workout. You can fire off pretty quick in double action but not as fast as with airguns that have a lighter double action.

Accuracy: I shot the Umarex HK P30 at a target from 20 feet away in a semi rested position using both pellets and BB's to see how both ammunitions worked. I was also interested to see if pellets would perform better than the BB's? Using 6.9 grain RWS pellets I was able to get just over a one inch grouping close to the center of the target and also averaging 363 fps with my 5 shot chronograph testing. BB's did get  higher chronograph results as expected with an averaged 415 fps but grouped a bit larger at just under two inches.

Build Quality: This is an extremely well made metal and polymer air pistol with great fit and finish and a nice dense 1.7 pound weight to it. It's another "made in Germany" Umarex that uses the 8 shot rotary pellet magazines but with teh added ability to shoot BB's loaded in the full size drop out magazine? There is plastic on this air pistol but it's in the same places you would find it on the real steel HK P30. The balance, ergonomics and feel this gun offers is as good as it gets.

Realism: The Umarex HK P30 is a licensed replica of the real HK P30 semi auto pistol. It looks almost exactly like the real steel version with the exception of the break in the slide where the rotary magazine is accessible and the smaller .177 caliber muzzle opening.

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Rifled barrel for Pellets but can also shoot BB's.

  • Full H&K Licensing.

  • German made!

  • Comes in a nice hard-shell case.

  • Full size drop out magazine that holds BB's and CO2.

  • Adjustable rear sight for windage.

  • Double and Single Action trigger.

  • Rail for adding accessories.

  • Very nice holding gun, good ball acne and weight.

  • Good accuracy and power.

Cons:

  • More expensive then many entry level guns but much higher quality.

  • Barrel is not recessed at all.

  • Did not get a lot of shots form a CO2.

  • Trigger is a bit tuff in double action mode.

Comments:

I have had a lot of people ask me to review this air pistol and to be honest I thought it would be just like the other Umarex German made rotary magazine pellet shooters, and that's not a bad thing! But it is different then the rest as it is the only one that also has the ability to shoot BB's by loading up the inline drop out magazine with 15 BB's and fitting the BB adapter where the rotary magazine would normally go. I also really like the look and feel of this gun. It is the perfect size and weight, not too big or small and not to heavy or light. I would really lie to get my hands on the real steel HK P30 to see if it has similar characteristics? If you want the best of both worlds, an accurate CO2 pellet pistol and an action shooting high capacity BB shooter, you can have it all with the HK P30.
