It is powered by a 12g CO2 cartridge stored in the grip using the easy-load system and the BB’s are put in the drop-out magazine. The CZ 75 P-07 DUTY is a compact tactical upgraded version compared to the standard CZ 75.

The 12g CO2 cartridge is stored under the grip and is easily accessed by sliding the grip to the side – easy-load style. Each of the 6 cartridges holds one BB and is placed in the metal drum that rotates as each round is fired. The revolver comes with a speed loader, changeable tactical rail and 6 cartridges."

Replica Airguns YouTube Channel Hits Three Quarters of a Million Views

No Comments

The Replica Airguns YouTube Channel just recently hit Three Quarters of a Million Upload Views!! I'm going for a million views over the next month or two so wish me luck! The other good news is the main Replica Airguns website (this one) is also getting busier and busier, I went from about 30,000 page views last month (December 2010) to about 60,000 page views this month (January 2011). That's amazing considering this website was only started six months ago last year in July.

I want to thank everyone for your ongoing visits and support - Thanks!!!

EKOL Blank and BB Guns Coming to the Replica Airguns Store

No Comments

Update: Stock has arrived, we are now shipping these guns!

I picked up a few really nice EKOL blank guns a couple of weeks ago to see what they where like. I was not expecting them to be as nice as they where! And I was also impressed with the fact that all three of the guns did not have a single jam, miss-feed or failure to eject the first time shooting them.

I am happy to say that in a couple of weeks, the US Replica Airguns Store will be carrying at least some of the EKOL product line, and not just EKOL's blank shooters but also one of their BB CO2 air pistols, the ES 55.

Here are the products we will be carrying in the Replica Airguns Store:

EKOL ARDA 5 Shot 8mm P.A.K. (Black & Chrome)

EKOL TUNA 5 6 Shot 8mm P.A.K. (Black & Chrome)

EKOL MAJOR 7 Shot 9mm P.A.K. (Black & Chrome)


EKOL SPECIAL 99 8 Shot 9mm P.A.K. (Black & Chrome)

Crosman Introduces the C51 Blowback 4.5mm CO2 BB Pistol

12 Comments

Crosman introduced the Crosman C51, their latest Blowback CO2 BB pistol in 4.5mm - .177 caliber. It looks a lot like a Glock or perhaps the Umarex SA177, nevertheless it looks like a nice gun!

I don't have too much on it just yet for specifications other than it takes up to 20 - 4.5mm steel BB's, uses a standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge, and of course is a blowback operated gun with a metal slide and polymer frame.

I'll let you know more when I know more...

Umarex Walther PPK/S Blowback CO2 BB Pistol Review

4 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:Walther PPK/S (Black).

Materials: Mostly metal with some plastic parts.

Weight: 1.2 pounds.

Barrel: 3.5 inches, metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, blowback, single action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 15 round magazine.

FPS: 295.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this gun is very light as a result of the true blowback action cocking the hammer with each shot.

Accuracy: For a short barreled non-riiffled BB pistol it tested fairly well with most of the BB's grouping within a 2 inch area at 20 feet out. There where some stragglers however.

Build Quality: This gun is almost entirely metal with the exception of the pistol grips, safety lever, magazine and outer barrel shroud. It has excellent detail and the fit and finish are pretty good.

Realism: The Umarex PPK/S is a replica of the actual Walther PPK/S, well know in the popular 007 James Bond movies. It has the Walther licensing on it in all the right places and overall looks a lot like the real Walther PPK/S with the exception of the lower handle and magazine release area. The handle on the BB version is a bit too long and the oversized CO2 piercing screw really takes away from the potential realism of this gun. That said, it's rather easy to cut the piercing crew shorter and add a notch in it so you can alternatively use a screwdriver to tighten it and gain back a bit more realism.

Purchased From:The Replica Airgun Store.

Pros:

  • Good reproduction of the original Walther PPK/S.

  • Would make an excellent training gun as it has a similar size, weight, and feel to the actual Walther PPK/S.

  • Blowback action and very light trigger pull makes it really fun to shoot.

  • Decent accuracy for a short barreled BB pistol.

  • Inexpensive but good overall quality (made in Japan)

Cons:

  • Heavy usage of CO2.

  • Fairly low 295 FPS.

  • Plastic magazine and out of place safety lever.

  • The CO2 piercing screw is really ugly and a realism killer for this gun.

Comments:

The Umarex Walther PPK/S BB pistol in my opinion is a must have collector piece. Even if you're not a big airgun fan, this is a great way to own virtually the same gun James Bond used in his early 007 movies. The Umarex PPK is a well made fun shooter at an affordable price with surprisingly not too bad accuracy.

Replica Airguns Store Launches

No Comments

I am happy to announce that Replica Airguns has launched its own Store! For a long time now all I have been able to do was refer other Air Gun and Blank Gun stores for my visitors to purchase products, and to be honest I'm still going to recommend you check out other stores as I can't possibly carry everything and in some cases I may or may not have the best price. I can tell you that I will do my best to supply some very interesting and popular products.

Now our web-store concept is simple, we will have some featured items listed at the top and below that, some of our more popular items we carry broken down into a few categories with links to posts and videos about each product. If you want more information or you want to purchase any item/s simply email us and we will give you a quote on the item/s you are requesting.

Keep in mind we have more products available then we list in our store, so send us an email if you are looking for something specific and we will do our best to accommodate you, or at least refer you to someone who can help you with the product/s you are looking for.

Umarex CX4 Storm gets some new toys - 3x9x40 Scope and Foregrip

2 Comments

Related Posts:

My scope mounting hardware came in today and I got right to work adding my new Aim 3x9x40 Rubber Scope and Foregrip to it. I wasn't planning on putting on the Foregrip, it just kind of happened and it looks good, so it may just stay on the CX4?

I ordered a Picitinny/Weaver Deluxe Riser Mount because I wasn't sure if the scope would clear the built in sites and I was thinking I wanted to mount the 3x9x40 Scope toward the rear but as it happened my high rise ring mounts where already the perfect hight and the Picitinny/Weaver Deluxe Riser Mount I ordered wasn't required!

Guess I'll have to shelf the Riser Mount for another project, I'm sure one day it will come in handy.

Some more pictures of the new setup:

Cybergun - KWC Mini UZI BB Gun Full Auto Modification

39 Comments

Related Posts:

"Before you attempt to do this modification you need to be aware that it may void your warrantee and/or you may fail and either break something or incorrectly reassemble your Mini UZI rendering it "Broked"! This is your problem so please do not attempt this modification (even though it is fairly easy to do) unless you're 100% confident you can do it and are aware of the possible consequences. Make sure to also take into account any gun laws in your area prohibiting full-auto capable firearms!"

(Special thanks to Herman for showing me the ropes on this modification)

This modification will make your semi-auto "only" Cybergun/KWC Mini UZI BB Gun into a full auto capable 4.5mm BB machine gun. From the factory the full auto switch position (Far Left "A") is disabled but the full auto selector position is visible. The actual full-auto functionality is still present in the Mini UZI but has been decommissioned by the simple means of blocking the selector switch from being moved to the far left full-auto or "A" position.

This full auto modification will show you how to disassemble the Cybergun - KWC Mini UZI BB Gun and remove the small plastic selector switch blockage so you will be able to manually switch between semi auto and full auto modes. This modification takes about 15 minutes to complete.

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

You will need the following tools: A pair of pliers and either a pair of small wire cutters or a file.

Let's begin! Below are the two pre-modification positions available from the factory:

"S - SAFE"

"R - SEMI AUTO"

Below is a closeup of the top bolt cover that we will be removing to access the internal bolt for removal:

In the next photo we have removed the bolt cover by pressing the "angled button" towards the rear sight:

And now the bolt is removed:

I removed the grips but this is not necessary:

Now you will need to remove the lower receiver pin located at the back end of the receiver closest to the grip safety. Use a pair of pliers to pinch the metal pin while pushing it through. Once the pin is started you can use the pliers on the other side to pull the pin all the way out. You may need to us a fair amount of force to do this as the fit of the pin is tight:

Once the pin is removed the lower receiver can be detached:

You can see in the picture below the small plastic nub that we will need to remove in order to restore full-auto capability:

I used a pair of small wire cutters to clip this plastic nub off, but you could use a file too. Just make sure that the plastic is flush and does not have any burs or protrusions.

Below is a photo of the Plastic Nub removed from another angle:

After that, all you need to do is reassemble you Mini UZI in revers order to finnish the Full Auto modification.

In the below Photos you can see we have restored the ability to move the fire selector switch over to the "Far Left" or "A" position, reenabling the Cybergun - KWC Mini UZI BB Gun to shoot in full auto when desired.

"A - FULL AUTO"

Now enjoy your Cybergun - KWC Mini UZI BB Gun in full-auto as it was originally designed!

CYBERGUN Mini UZI BB GUN REVIEW

17 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Cybergun.

Model: Mini UZU.

Materials: Metal and Polymer.

Weight: 4.8 pounds.

Barrel: Metal, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x1.

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

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 25 rounds

FPS: 344

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is very light with an easy break.

Accuracy: Very good, even with all the heavy blowback recoil!

Build Quality: Excellent, with a good amount of metal construction, good weight and craftsmanship with good fit and finish. Much of the gun is made out of metal with the exception of some of the outer receiver and grips.

Realism: This is a very close replica of the actual real steel with many of the same markings in all the right places, It's hard to find any real differences other than the fact that it shoots 4.5mm BB's and has a bit more plastic.

Pros:

  • Extremely realistic airgun replica of the Mini UZI.

  • Metal construction where it counts.

  • Would make an excellent training gun as it functions just like a real Mini UZI.

  • Blowback action is incredibly firm (more than a rimfire 22 cal.) adding to the realism of shooting this weapon.

  • Can be easily field striped.

  • Can be easily modified to fire in either Semi Auto or Full Auto by removing one small plastic blockage.

  • Adjustable sights.

  • Very useful metal folding stock.

Cons:

  • It goes through CO2 very fast.

  • When the magazine is empty, the slide bolt does not stay open and the gun will continue to fire waisting CO2.

  • Some of the outer materials are plastic, would have been nice if they too where metal construction.

Comments:

This is a really nice blowback BB gun. Although it is advertised on many websites as being all metal, it does have some plastic outer parts, but the parts that get the most wear and tear are made out of metal. That aside, the Cybergun Mini UZI is pretty much an exact copy of the real Mini UZI with many of the same markings as the original. One feature that makes it feel even more genuine is the very heavy blow back recoil, it is alarming at first and I would even say it has more recoil than a rimfire 22 cal. gun does. It only comes in a semi auto version but all Cybergun did to inhibit full auto mode was to simply add a plastic nub that stops the fire selector switch from being selected to full auto. Once this plastic nub is removed, full auto mode is resorted. This well made BB gun is a bit pricy but you get a lot of gun for your money!

Replica Airguns On the Set of "One Life"

No Comments

Today I had  the opportunity to to work with the production company "Punjabi Sports", they where shooting a full length movie called "One Life" that required some authentic looking prop guns for one of the scenes in the movie. I had a great time and learned a lot about how much is involved in making just a few minutes of final movie footage. I have to say next time I will dress just a bit warmer.

Below are some quick photos I took with my iPhone while on set.

Full Metal UZI Blowback CO2 .177 BB Gun on its Way

18 Comments

Related Posts:

I have been holding off and holding off on this gun for a while now but I just can't wait any longer! So today I finally ordered up a Full Metal UZI Blowback CO2 .177 BB Gun from the Air Gun Source here in Canada.

I'm not 100% sure who makes this full metal replica UZI BB gun but I believe it may be the Cybergun version. There seems to be identical version distributed by "Armist Industries" and "KWC", when it comes I should have more info about it. This UZI is stated to be "Full Metal" but I have heard conflicting stores and again when I get it I will update you on the quality of this nice UZI Blowback BB Gun.

These guns ship with a selector switch that has three positions: (A-R-S), one is the safety and the other two are semi-auto only. This gun does not ship with a full-auto feature but I have a  source who has converted his to full auto and he is sharing this information with me shortly. I plan to mod mine so it has a selectable semi auto and full auto.

This gun is reported to have a very heavy blow back action with significant shoulder kick for a BB gun. Sounds like fun! It has also been chronographed at 390 FPS! And it even comes with a folding Stock.

Here are some basic stats for you until I do my full review...

  • 344 FPS*OUR TESTS SHOW 390 FPS!
  • Full metal
  • Blowback action
  • Semi-auto
  • Removable 25 round magazine
  • Foldable metal stock
  • Uses one 12g CO2 cartridge
  • .177 calibre (4.5mm) BB's
  • Length: 14"
  • Weight: 4.85 lbs
  • 30 Day Warranty
  • Made in Taiwan

Casio EX FC100 High Speed 1000 Frames Per Second Camera for Christmas

No Comments

All I want for Christmas is a Casio EX FC100 High Speed 1000 Frames Per Second Camera, and I'm getting one!

I know this website is all about Replica Air Guns and Blank Guns but I got to keep up with the Jone's! What I'm trying to say is there are some pretty sweet YouTube videos out there that take advantage of some High-Speed capable cameras that can take video up to as many as 1000 frames-per-second. Even though at that super high frame rate the resolution drops down a lot, you still get to see every single thing that the naked eye can't.

Even with my high end Digital SLR Canon EOS Rebel T2i, that is 60 frames per second capable in High Definition, I'm still not able to really slow the motion down enough to see the real story. That will all soon change...

Thanks to phgHunter, another YouTuber with some air gun interests and a high speed camera of his own, I was introduced to the Casio EX FC100. And if by fate, I received an email today from CanadaComputers.com and just as I was about to throw it in the trash I caught a glimpse of what I though just might be the camera I was looking at. A couple of clicks, wallet openings, credit card security formalities and wham-bam thanks for the camera mam! All for the ridiculously low sale price of only $153.42 shipped and taxed :) Thanks Santa's wallet!

Look forward to my future videos complete with super-slow-mo!

UPDATE: I just got an email from CanadaComputers.com but a week later informing me that I paid $40 too much as it's now on sale for only $89. I sent them an email in hopes that they will reimburse my payment the difference! We'll see what they do...

UPDATE #2: I will not be buying anything else from CanadaComputers.com.

Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle Blowback CO2 Pellet Pistol Review

15 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: Pellet air pistol.

Manufacturer: Umarex.

Model:Magnum Research Desert Eagle.

Materials: Exterior mostly polymer with internal metal parts.

Weight: 2.4 pounds.

Barrel: 5.7 inches, metal-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

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

Ammunition Type: .177 cal. Pellets.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 rounds - rotary magazine.

FPS: 425.

Trigger Pull: The trigger uses two stages. The first stage rotates the magazine while the last stage releases the hammer. When in double action mode the trigger also engages the hammer. Overall the trigger pull I would consider to be a medium pull yet smooth making it easy to shoot on target.

Accuracy: Very good, the Umarex Desert Eagle makes a great semi-auto target shooter as far as 30 to 40 feet out.

Build Quality: Even though the external shell of the Desert Eagle is mostly plastic, it is still a very well made gun. Most of the internal parts that matter seem to be made out of metal. The fit and finish is also very good.

Realism: This is a very close replica to the real actual Magnum Research Desert Eagle with licensed trademarks and most everything in all the right places. However, other than the safety lever, many of the mechanical aspects of the gun are either non-functioning or serve an alternative purpose. The slide release actually opens the loading bay by making the barrel slide forward. The disassembly lever is non-functioning and is molded into the plastic along with the magazine release button.

Purchased this form: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Good reproduction of the original Magnum Research Desert Eagle.

  • Would make an excellent training gun as it has a similar size, weight, and feel to the actual Desert Eagle handgun. (With obviously much less kick :)

  • Blowback action and loud report add to the realism of shooting this pellet pistol.

  • Nice high FPS for a blowback pellet gun.

  • Good accuracy.

  • Adjustable rear sight.

  • Picatinny rail on top and bottom for accessories like a scope, red dot, laser sight and/or tactical light.

Cons:

  • Heavy usage of CO2.

  • Slide does not stay back after 8th shot so you need to count them off or you end up wasting CO2 before you realize no pellets are coming out.

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

  • Lots of usage of plastic, would have been nice to have seen more metal in it.

  • Large gun, not suitable for people with small hands.

Comments:

The Umarex Desert Eagle is a very unique pellet blowback air pistol, there are very few airgun pistols that include blowback, shoot pellets and have decent accuracy and FPS . The Umarex Desert Eagle is a very close replica of the original Magnum Research Desert Eagle. It has very good accuracy but you can only expect about 32 good shots (4 magazines) out of a CO2 cartridge. If you're looking for an airgun that may be a bit of a handful and can get over the abundance of plastic and hunger for CO2, than you will be rewarded with a predictable, accurate and enjoyable true semi-auto target pistol.

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!
