If you haven't already checked out my King Arms Colt M4A1 Table Top Review, make sure to do so for all the details and specifications on the King Arms Colt M4A1 Airsoft AEG Carbine.

This Field Test Review focusses primarily on how the AEG  M4A1 performs in feet per second velocity using .25 gram plastic Airsoft BB's, its accuracy in both semi and full auto and of course my comments on it's shoot-ability and overall performance.

For this field test review of my King Arms M4A1 Airsoft rifle I switched from the .20 gram Airsoft BB's to heavier .25 gram plastic BB's. I did this to have a comparison between the two weights since I had already Chronographed and accuracy tested the .20 gram BB's. As expected the fps dropped a bit, down to around 380 fps but still stayed very consistent for me as would be expected with an AEG styled rifle.

Another reason I wanted to test out the heavier .25 gram Airsoft BB's is because generally speaking, heavier BB's will shoot a bit more accurately as they are not as effected by the higher fps this guns is capable of shooing. The .20 gram BB's actually did well so I had high expectation for the .25 gram BB's and I was not disappointed! For this test I shot the King Arms Colt M4A1 from 30 feet out in a semi rested position (rested on a sand bag in the front and standing in the back). I shot 10 rounds in semi auto and got a very respectable 1.5 inch group which rivals any airgun in my collection! I also shot in full auto (I can't really tell you how many rounds ;) and the King Arms Colt M4A1 punched a nice 2 inch hole in the target. I would almost say it even beat out my other full auto 4.5mm steel BB shooting guns in terms of how tight of a group it can shoot while in full auto mode.

I am sure the Airsoft Hop-up system has something to do with the accuracy as the back-rotating BB's should keep a truer trajectory. One thing I notice while shooting this AEG styled Airsoft rifle, is that there is a slight delay from the time you pull the trigger till the shot is released. The trigger is actually activating a motor which in turn pulls the internal spring back, which then releases it once it hits the end of it's cycle. It's not a long delay but it is noticeable. In full auto it really does not matter at all :)

All in all I am again impressed with what an Airsoft gun can do in terms of both looks and performance.

Type: .22 caliber pistol.

Manufacturer:Chiappa.

Model:1911-22 Tactical.

Materials: Metal (Chiappalloy & Steel).

Weight: 2 pounds.

Barrel: 5 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: Gun Powder.

Action: Semi auto, single action only.

Ammunition Type: .22LR caliber rimfire.

Ammunition Capacity: 10 round magazine.

FPS: 1,138 - 1255.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Chiappa - Puma 1911-22 Tactical semi auto pistol is fairly heavy at the start of it's life at close to 10 pounds! This is a bit distracting but it has been reported that as the metals harden and the gun breaks in (Closer to the 2000-3000 round mark), you can expect a much lighter trigger pull of closer to 5 pounds.

Accuracy: I put about 500 rounds through the Chiappa - Puma 1911-22 and took some time getting used to how it felt and also shot several groups on target before I did my final test group. I shot two full magazines (20 shots) and was able to get a 6-7 inch group from 10 yards out (30 feet). I was shooting in a standing unrested position using the open sights unadjusted and my grouping was well center but just a tad bit high and to the left. Interestingly enough I had a nice tight 5 shot sub-group that all landed within each other almost dead center on target.

Build Quality: The Chiappa - Puma 1911-22 Tactical 22LR is not built out of the same hardened steel material (with the exception of some key high stress areas) as you would find in a large caliber hand gun as it is not necessary with the lower pressure of 22LR rimfire ammunition, but it is an almost all metal gun and seems to have decent fit and finish. Chiappa utilizes a special proprietary metal they call Chiappalloy throughout much of the pistol to make the 1911-22 look, feel and weigh about the same as a conventional 1911 45 auto. 

Realism: The Chiappa - Puma 1911-22 Tactical looks the part for sure of a real 1911 A1 styled 45 auto. It even feels about the same weight and has a similar balance to it. On the outside you can tell because of the smaller diameter .22 caliber barrel and the lack of a working grip safety. Internally the 1911-22 has a fixed barrel which is not true to the original 1911 design but it does make the 22LR version more accurate and simpler in design.

Purchased From: Wholesale supplier.

Pros:

• Inexpensive to purchase and shoot but still has that "1911" look and feel.

• Came with two 10 round magazines.

• Comes in a nice hard shell case.

• Can add an accessory rail under the barrel.

• Adjustable rear sight for windage.

• Fixed barrel for better accuracy and less moving parts.

• Nice realistic weight adn ballance to it.

• Very easy to take down and clean.

• Similar dimensions to a real 1911 and should fit most holsters and add-ons.

• Has a secondary "tool based" firing pin lock for safe storage.

• Made in Italy.

Cons:

• Trigger is very heavy at first - needs to be broken in!

• Slide spring is very light which can lead to some cycling problems if you are not careful.

• No working grip safety like the real 1911.

• Plastic magazines.

Comments:

My Chiappa - Puma 1911-22 Tactical first impression was that it kind of had a blank gun look and finish too it which is not a bad thing but I wondered if it would take the abuse of constant 22LR rounds being shot through it and it most certainly did. Chiappa has put hardened steel where it needs to be and used their proprietary Chiappalloy where it is best suited. after about the first 100 rounds the 1911-22 stated performing consistently for me using a couple of brands of 22LR I brought with me and cycled both 22LR Standard Velocity and High Velocity just fine. I did notice it started to act up at around the 400 round mark but on inspection, the Chiappa 1911-22 just needed a cleaning to clear the debris that was forming in the breach area. I would also suggest keeping the magazines loaded up fore a few weeks to decrease the spring tension which helps with chambering the first couple of rounds out of a new magazine. Overall, I am really happy with my Chiappa 1911-22 purchase and plan to shoot this gun often and extensively!

Buy BB version in Canada   -   Buy BB version in the US

Type: .22 caliber pistol.

Manufacturer:ISSC.

Model:M22.

Materials: Metal & Polymer.

Weight: 1.5 pounds.

Barrel: 4.17 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: Gun Powder.

Action: Semi auto, single action.

Ammunition Type: .22LR caliber rimfire.

Ammunition Capacity: 10 round magazine.

FPS: 1,138 - 1255.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the ISSC M22 semi auto pistol is fairly light at about 4.4 pounds and it has a nice predictable break point. Some people claim the trigger itself is a bit edgy but I did not find this the case for myself at least when shooting off several hundred rounds at a time. No blisters for me :)

Accuracy: I put about 500 rounds through the ISSC M22 and took some time getting used to how it felt and also shot several groups on target before I did my final test group. I shot two full magazines (20 shots) and most of my shots (17 out of 20) landed within a 3 inch group from 10 yards out (30 feet). I was shooting in a standing unrested position using the open sights unadjusted and my grouping was well center but just a tad bit high. I was very happy with these results.

Build Quality: The ISSC M22 is a very well made pistol in just about every way. The materials are very good and the fit and finish is excellent. There is nothing cheap about this gun and even after over 500 shots through the M22, it still looked brand new (after a well needed cleaning of course) with barely any wear marks to speak of. I especially liked the solid aluminum magazines. I have no doubt this 22 caliber pistol will last me for a long time.

Realism: The ISSC M22 may not be a bang on copy of a Glock but it certainly looks the part with only a few exceptions like the rear hammer, safety and fixed internal barrel. I have even heard you can use real Glock accessories with this semi auto pistol! Even the kick kind of surprised me, I was using high velocity 22LR rounds and they gave me a nice crisp recoil that of course was not as hard as a 9mm but never the less it was enough for working on double taps and rapid sight acquisition.

Purchased From: Wholesale supplier.

Pros:

• Inexpensive to purchase and shoot but still has that "Glock like" look and feel.

• Came with two 10 round magazines.

• Very well made - no quality issues as far as I can tell.

• Accessory rail under the barrel.

• Very usable sights similar to a real Glock. (also fully adjustable).

• Ambidextrous safety and de-cocker.

• Similar trigger safety as a real Glock.

• Very easy to take down and clean.

• Nice compact and light weight.

• Similar dimensions to a Glock and may work with many of the same accessories.

• Made in Austria like the Glock.

Cons:

• Can come off of safety kind of easy.

• Some Glock users may not like the external hammer and safety setup?

• Some people have commented on it being a bit picky with certain ammo and the trigger being a bit edgy.

Comments:

I really fell in love with the ISSC M22 22LR Glock copy. I know this gun is going to get a lot of use and to be honest I'm not even worried about it. With the low cost of 22LR ammo I will be shooting this gun more than any of my other pistols simply because it's totally fun, and gives me almost the exact same experience as my larger caliber semi auto shooters at about 1/10th the price to shoot. I'm pretty sure I will even get out to the range more often knowing that I can shoot the entire day for about $20! I found the M22 to be reliable, accurate and comfortable while shooting so as far as I'm concerned the ISSC M22 is a real winner!

Buy BB version in Canada   -   Buy BB version in the US

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:UmarexUSA.

Model:Smith & Wesson M&P R8. Buy in CAN  -  Buy in US

Materials: Plastic (polymer) and some metal construction.

Weight: 1.37 pounds.

Barrel: 5.1 (6.5) inches, metal smooth bore.

Propulsion: 12 gram CO2 x 1.

Action: Repeater, single and double action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 shot rotary magazine.

FPS: 420.

If you haven't already checked out my Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P Table Top Review, make sure to do so for all the details and specifications on the Umarex S&W M&P R8 CO2 BB Revolver.

This Field Test Review focusses primarily on how the S&W M&P R8 performs in feet per second velocity, its accuracy and of course my comments on it's shoot-ability and CO2 efficiency.

Although the Umarex R8 did not get a very high average FPS rating (336 fps 8 shot average), it was very cold on my test day and on the positive side, the lower FPS enables the R8 to get a lot of shots per CO2, I would imagine you can get close to 200 useable shots out of one CO2 cartridge with the Umarex S&W M&P R8. The low usage of CO2 also make this gun very quiet to shoot so if you live in an area where noise is a factor the R8 may be a great choice for you.

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

During my Table Top Review, the trigger felt a bit heavy to me but when actually shooting the R8 it felt pretty good in both single and double action with the double action actually surprising me a bit at how it seemed to smooth out. I was able to get very good double action target results even when shooting close together. When shooting in single action on a target I managed to get six out of eight shots within the 1.5 inch bulls eye, two stragglers made it outside but overall the Umarex S&W M&P R8 shot very well for a smooth bore BB pistol.

As far as mechanical consistency the Umarex S&W M&P R8 performed perfectly for me with no malfunctions of any kind and other then reloading being just a bit awkward (There is not much room to get the magazine out for reloading - very tight tolerances) the Umarex R8 makes for a very decent low cost BB revolver.

If you're on a budget and want a replica CO2 BB revolver with good accuracy and tons of shots per CO2, the Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P makes for a very suitable option.

If you have not already read my Table Top review for the WE SCAR-L, then make sure to check it out for specifications and an overall review of this very nice Blowback Airsoft rifle.

This Field Test review kind of baffled me, I was surprised with almost everything about it. Initially when I got my WE SCAR, I tested it out with one of my CO2 mags and got some pretty decent results not only in FPS performance but also in the accuracy department, I got around 400+fps and a nice 2 inch group from 30 feet out in a semi-rested position.

So when I headed out to record my Field Test, I was expecting some decent results! I'm not going to say this gun let me down but it did perform radically different for me on this day then the previous day and the only real difference is that I did a complete filed strip, clean and lube of the Airsoft rifle which in my opinion should of improved things but I guess not?

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

The most surprising realization I had was that with CO2 (as compared to the Propane), I did notice a heavier blowback and faster rate of fire in full auto but for some reason I had less velocity by almost 100fps when compared to using my Propane magazine? And my accuracy suffered also by an amazing amount. Some rounds had trouble even getting on the paper?

I will revisit this rifle in the summer, I think I will strip it down and wipe it down and perhaps redo this test entirely! I still love this Airsoft blowback rifle for so many reasons but on this day at least it came up a bit short for me.

I wanted to get this video out to you a bit sooner but I have been really sick the past three days and so I have not had a lot of time to put this YouTube Video together. It's a pretty simple compilation of some photos and videos I took during my time walking around the 2012 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, not all of it is to do with airguns but most of it is. I even took a few touristy shots since it wasn't all work ;)

The SHOT Show is out of this world! You really need a week to check it all out or perhaps a clone of yourself... I barely touched the surface today. I did make sure I had a chance to checkout both Umarex and Crosman, I also made it to some other booths, but I will touch on them later in another post. There is enough information I can share with you from Crosman and Umarex to keep you drooling for now.

In short, here is what is new...

Crosman is bringing back the C51 Glock inspired Blowback BB pistol that we all thought was dead and I have to say it looks really really nice - more to come on this one. Crosman also has the new C*TT BB pistol that looks to be a blowback pistol replica of the Russian Tokarev. I also saw a very nice looking two tone version of the M4-177 and there may just be a Canadian detuned under 500 fps version on the way? Crosman is also introducing a really well made Nitro Piston air pistol called the Benjamin Trail NP that looks to be a very well made break barrel spring piston air pistol that shoots in the 500 fps neighbourhood.

Umarex also had some new items, one of which at first glance looks a lot like the Crosman C41 P38 replica but I have to say it has more going for it with a locking slide, licensed trade marks, true single action and overall just a more realistic version of the real P38. Umarex is also bringing the Smith & Wesson 327 TRR8 BB Revolver to North America, which is very similar to the Dan Wesson line but with extra rails on the top and bottom of the barrel. Umarex is also adding a couple Browning based air guns, one is a low fps Browning Buck Mark copy which is a break barrel .177 caliber pellet shooter targeted for the beginner target shooter and also a Browning High Power replica. One last BB pistol many people have been asking for is the Beretta 90 Two BB pistol and it looks like it has landed in North America finally!

Make sure to check back for some more photos and more info on all these guns...

Click here to check out my Table Top Review for the Baikal Drozd Blackbird

I'm kind of doing this one backwards this time around. I was going to do the table top review of the Baikal Drozd Blackbird first but the weather was just too nice to pass up today to not get outside and give this gun a thorough testing.

I will be posting the table top review in a few days with all the specification (Here it is now) but if you're looking for some basic info on the Blackbird you can checkout our online store where you can find some statistics on the Drozd Blackbird and you can also checkout my Drozd Classic Review where I do a short comparison between the Drozd Classic and the newer updated Blackbird version.

I had a lot of fun shooting this gun, it lays down a lot of steel in a very short amount of time and has a virtually endless 900 round BB hopper that just keeps on going. During my testing I shot close to 400 rounds or more using one 88 gram CO2 cartridge and even near the end the Baikal Drozd Blackbird had pretty good feet per second performance.

My Baikal Blackbird does have some upgrades: (JimC Barrel, Full Auto-High RPM Mod Chip, Added Accessory Rails, Red Dot Scope, Tactical Light, Laser and Bulk Air kit) but the stock version is "almost" as fun :)

Enjoy this Vimeo video, it was crazy fun to make!

First off, make sure to checkout my Table Top Review for the Crosman NightStalker for all the specifications and details on it.

In this Filed Test Review of the Crosman NightStalker .177 caliber pellet shooting air rifle I shoot 5 rounds through the Chronograph to get a real world average FPS of this detuned Canadian version. As expected the CX4 Storm replica does not get anywhere close the 580 FPS the non-regulated version claims to get and even with fairly light 6.9 grain pellets I got an average of just over 400 FPS, also keep in mind I have re-tuned this air rifle a bit to get somewhat higher Feet Per Second performance then the stock Canadian version even if it's not a lot.

Unlike the Umarex Beretta CX4 Storm I also Field Tested, the Crosman CX4 replica air rifle was not so reliable for me when it came to operation, I had several misfires and failures to load which was not what I was expecting since I had shot this gun many times before with very different results. The Crosman NightStalker uses a rotary magazine system which in theory should work pretty well but maybe due to my pellet choice this time around I found the NightStalker almost painful to shoot and I'm not sure why it was acting up so much for me?

During my Accuracy Test using a the Red Dot Scope from 30 feet out in a semi-rested position, I got pretty good results which was a bit of a relief, right around a one inch 12 round grouping. Again this airgun is made for fun and if all was working well I should have been able to empty the 12 round magazine fast and precise but not today. I would not recommend the Night Stalker for any type of small pest control because it is a bit underpowered, but for target practice and plinking it is well suited

As far as recommending this gun, I think if you can get your hands on a used one you should fair pretty well as long as yours does not act up like mine was on this day and time. If you can find the higher FPS version then it would be a nice upgrade to the one I was testing. The original price point for the Crosman NightStalker was not expensive so don't pay too much if you do plan on getting one and expect to play around with pellet choice till you find one it likes best.

First off, make sure to checkout my Table Top Review for the Umarex Beretta CX4 Storm for all the specifications and details on it.

In this Field Test Review of the Beretta CX4 Storm .177 caliber pellet shooting air rifle I shoot 5 rounds through the Chronograph to get a real world average FPS of this detuned Canadian version. As expected the Beretta CX4 Storm does not get anywhere close the 600 FPS the non-regulated version claims to get and even with fairly light 6.9 grain pellets I got an average of just under 400 FPS, perhaps a little too aggressive with the Canadian regulating of the CO2. I would have liked to have seen much better Feet Per Second performance from the pellet shooting Umarex CX4 Storm.

On the other hand this CX4 replica air rifle was incredibly reliable when it came to operation, I did not have even one misfire or failure to load a round even with the rather unusual 30 round belt-fed magazine, which one might think would be prone to problems. The Umarex Beretta CX4 Storm has a very snappy feel with its blowback operation that gives you a confident feeling when shooting and the 8 pound trigger seems to actually lighten up the faster you shot it :)

During my Accuracy Test using a magnified scope from 30 feet out in a semi-rested position, I got pretty decent results but nothing amazing, just over a one inch 12 round grouping. Again this airgun is made for fun and you can really empty the 30 round magazine fast and with good precision. I would not recommend it for any type of small pest control because it is a bit underpowered but for target practice and plinking it works very well.

As far as recommending this gun, I think it is very well made and it performs excellent, if you can get your hands on the higher FPS version then it would be a nice upgrade to the one I was testing. The price may be a tad high but it really is a very good quality air rifle overall.

Make sure to checkout my review of the 6 inch Silver and 8 inch Black Dan Wesson Revolvers also!

Type: BB air Revolvers.

Manufacturer: ASG.

Model: Dan Wesson 2.5 inch Silver & 4 inch Black.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 1.9 pounds.

Barrel: Metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, single and double action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 6 rounds.

FPS: 320-350.

Trigger Pull: The ASG Dan Wesson Revolvers have very predictable triggers with the single action having a lighter pull as you would expect. Double action mode is very usable without a lot of extra pressure required. Shooting this gun in single action is a lot of fun, kind of like the old west days!

Accuracy: I shot the pair of Dan Wesson Revolvers at a target from 20 feet out in a free standing position, and they performed well getting close to 2 inch groupings pretty well centered on target. The sights are adjustable for elevation and windage so if you find yours shoots off just a bit, you can easily adjust them. My Chrony testing with a six shot averaged result where 327 fps for the 2.5 inch and 345 fps for the 4 inch Dan Wesson's.

Build Quality: These fine revolvers are well built, just like their Dan Wesson 6 inch Silver & 8 inch Black counterparts. The fit and finish looks very nice on both of them and they performed very well without any problems loading or shooting them.

Realism: The ASG Dan Wesson BB revolvers are as close as you can get to a real six shooter, ASG didn't leave any detail out and thought of a few I may have never even dreamt up! Loading and ejecting actual brass shells into the cylinder makes you feel like this gun is much more then an unassuming airgun! One of my favorite airgun revolvers for sure!

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• It's a revolver with actual brass shells giving you the feeling of a real 6 shooter!

• Almost all metal design.

• lots of detail in this gun, very well made, fit and finish is excellent.

• Fully adjustable sights.

• Good accuracy even to further out distances.

• Single and double action.

• Can add the included accessory rail for more add on options.

• If I could have dreamt up this gun I don't think I could have done as good a job!

Cons:

• Plastic CO2 screw tab.

• Only shoots BB's, would have been cool to shoot pellets too.

• 2.5 inch version does not have the recessed barrel.

Comments:

I'm not really a revolver person, but the Dan Wesson's really look good and are very fun to shoot making these guns a really nice change from the usual semi auto pistols I usually like to purchase and shoot! And with 4 barrel length and various designs to choose from, it shouldn't be too hard to find one that you like. Heck I like them all!

Buy Dan Wesson Revolvers in Canada   -   Buy Dan Wesson Revolvers in the US

Type: Pellet air rifle.

Manufacturer:Kimar.

Model:K 760.

Materials: Metal & plastic.

Weight: About 3+ pounds.

Barrel: 14 inches, metal-rifled.

Propulsion: Spring piston.

Action: Single shot.

Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.

Ammunition Capacity: 1 round.

FPS: 450.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Kimar Model K 760 is a bit stiff but on a beginner gun I would recommend the trigger to be on the heavy side for safety reasons and also to teach correct trigger control. It did not seem to effect my shooting at all which was nice.

Accuracy: Very good, I was surprised at the tight group I got from a semi rested position and with open sights, I nearly got a 3/4 inch group from 30 feet out which is about the best I can expect from just about any gun I have shot in the same manner. The Kimar Model K 760 spring piston break barrel rifle also shot true to it's claimed feet per second rating and got right around the 450 fps velocity mark.

Build Quality: The Kimar K 760 .177 air rifle is not going to win any prizes for style or craftsmanship but it gets the job done and in about as simple a manner as is required. With that said, what can really go wrong with it?Crank the barrel and pull the trigger. The lack of a safety does not really bother me as I never ever trust a safety and it's always good to learn how to keep a gun safe at all times even when you "believe" it is not loaded or ready to shoot. There is some plastic found on the Kimar K 760 like in the sights and the stock but the mechanical parts are all metal including the trigger.

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Inexpensive spring piston rifle.

• Reasonable quality for the money.

• Synthetic stock good in all elements.

• I pump - 1 shot.

• Decent FPS, could be used on small game with practice.

• Very good accuracy even with open sights.

• Adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation.

• Very compact and easy cocking effort - good for younger shooters.

• Made in Italy

Cons:

• Very basic design, no frills.

• No safety or trigger adjustments.

• No ability to mount a scope.

Comments:

Coming in at around $50, you can not ask the world from the Kimar Mod. K 760 .177 Caliber Spring Piston Rifle! What you can ask for is for decent accuracy and usable fps, and that's exactly what you are going to get from the Kimar K 760. This break barrel air rifle is really perfect for a beginner shooter on a budget or even for someone who may want to pack it around in some ugly situations where you wouldn't want to subject your high priced top quality air rifle. For the money you really can't lose with this one!

Buy this gun in Canada

Type: Pellet air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:Beretta M 92FS.

Materials: Mostly metal construction.

Weight: 2.9 pounds.

Barrel: 4.5 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, single and double action.

Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 rotary magazine.

FPS: 425.

Trigger Pull: The Umarex Beretta M 92FS has a double action trigger and is extremely nice in both single and double action mode with the single action having the lightest pull. As this gun uses a rotary magazine, the first part of the trigger motion not only cocks the hammer but also rotates the internal 8 shot magazine.

Accuracy: I shot this air gun from 20 feet away in a free standing position at my target, and it performed well getting a mainly tight grouping with a few flyers possibly because of the awkward camera mount position I was using. I removed the camera and shot another 4 magazines in double action and was able to keep most of the pellets in a 1.5 inch group. My Chrony testing with an eight shot averaged result was 363 fps using 6.9 grain RWS pellets.

Build Quality: This is an almost all metal air gun with excellent fit and finish and a nice heavy 2.9 pound weight to it. It's made in Germany, so you know it's a quality product? The only non-metal parts to speak of are the grips which are a hard plastic or real wood depending on what version of this gun you have. The mechanics of this gun are very fluid.

Realism: The Umarex Beretta M 92 FS is a licensed replica of the real Beretta M 92FS semi auto pistol. It looks very close to the real steel with the exception of the break in the slide where the rotary magazine is accessible.

Purchased From: Used.

Pros:

• All metal construction - good weight and very solid feeling gun - 2.9 pounds!

• German made!

• Comes in a nice hard-shell case.

• Very nice looking gun with in the Matte black - Blued finish and in the two-tone Nickel.

• Adjustable rear sight for windage.

• Double and Single Action trigger, very smooth and light in both actions.

• Ambidextrous safety just like the real steel.

• Good accuracy, decent FPS for a pellet shooing pistol and very good usage of CO2 (12 magazines).

Cons:

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

• The sights are a bit hard to see when shooting on certain darker backgrounds.

• Engraving on the right side of the gun is a bit loud on the black version.

Comments:

I have to say I pretty much like most everything about this airgun; Its size, its looks, it's German build and quality and the ease in which it shoots. The Umarex Beretta M 92 FS air pistol along with the other German made Umarex rotary magazine air pistols are one of those airguns I think everyone should save up for just to have the pleasure to own and shoot. There is nothing to substitute quality and a gun like this will not only give you teh pride of ownership but also years and years of shooting enjoyment.

My Vimeo Video Review for this quality German made Beretta M 92FS Airgun:

Buy similar gun in Canada   -   Buy this gun in the US

Type: Pellet air pistol.

Manufacturer:Xisico.

Model:XSP180.

Materials: Metal & plastic.

Weight: 2.5 pounds.

Barrel: 9.1 inches, metal-rifled.

Propulsion: Spring piston.

Action: Single shot.

Ammunition Type: .22 caliber pellets. (Also available in .177 caliber)

Ammunition Capacity: 1 round.

FPS: 400+.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Xisico XSP180 is amazing right out of the box. You actually have to be very carful because it doesn't take much to release it. I like mine setup this way but you can adjust it to your shooting style.

Accuracy: Very good, I was expecting to do much worse as I am far from a spring piston expert shooter. Even though I'm not as comfortable on the springers, I found the XSP180 easy to shoot even with the heavier spring piston kick. From 30 feet out I was able to get a tight 1 inch group shooting from a semi rested position. The Xisico XSP180 surprised me yet again with 470 fps average velocities even in the large .22 caliber version I was using.

Build Quality: The Xisico is priced on the lower end for a target pistol and because of this uses perhaps a bit more plastic then similar styled pistols. That said I found the plastic to be good quality and the gun had good overall weight to it. There are times when plastic is better suited then metal and I felt it was used well in this gun. Of course there is metal internally and externally but the main shell is primarily made out of plastic. All the moving parts worked well and felt nice and tight. I did not feel any concern that this gun would let me down.

Realism: The Xisico XSP180 is not a replica of any gun that I know of but it does have a modern look to it with its elongated design and ergonomic features.

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Inexpensive spring piston target pistol.

• Reasonable quality for the money.

• I pump - 1 shot.

• Comes in .177 and .22 caliber version.

• Excellent FPS even in .22 caliber, well above claimed.

• Very good accuracy.

• Modern looking and ergonomic design.

• Adjustable Trigger.

• Adjustable Sights with fiber optics.

• Under barrel rail mount for laser or tactical light. (may work with a sight rail)

• Comfortable form fitting grips

Cons:

• Lots of plastic but looks to be durable.

• Grip shape will only work for right handers.

• No top rail for a red dot or scope.

• Safety is a bit tuff and on the ridged side.

Comments:

I wasn't expecting the world from this spring piston break barrel pistol because it is a more price conscience gun and yes it may not be as refined as the Webley Alecto I also reviewed but I have to say it performed well and exceeded my expectations in most every way. First off, when the manufacturer claims 400 fps from the .22 caliber version this usually means the absolute best case scenario! I used medium grain pellets and still got some amazing chronograph results from this spring piston shooter right up into the 470 fps range. Secondly, being a springer with a heavy recoil, I figured it would effect my shot placement but again I was surprised and shot as tight a group as I can expect from any pistol with open sights from 30 feet out. lastly, again if you can get your head around the plastic, this gun feels well made and I would expect a lot of good times shooting with it for many years. If you're on a bit of a budget but want a compact shooter you can target shoot with or even take down small to medium sized pests, then grab yourself a Xisico XSP180.

Sometimes you just got to make a video because you can and because it's just plain old fun! And that's why I made this video of me shooting some cans with dual full auto BB machine guns. One is my full auto converted and trusted Cybergun Mini UZI and the other is my newly acquired ZMZ Tyrex PPA-K-01 Russian Machine Pistol.

So sit back and enjoy, I know I did :)

Buy this gun in Canada   -   Buy this gun in the US

Type: BB machine gun.

Manufacturer:ZMZ.

Model:Tyrex PPA-K-01.

Materials: Steel.

Weight: 3.24 pounds.

Barrel: 4.83 inches, metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: 12 gram CO2.

Action: Semi & full auto, single action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB.

Ammunition Capacity: 25 round magazine.

FPS: 328-394 fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the ZMZ Tyrex PPA-K-01 is a bit on the heavy side even though it is single action only. In full auto mode this doesn't really matter too much, but in semi auto the heavy trigger can slow down how fast you can shoot your followup shots. You quickly forget about it though because you are having so much fun shooting the Tyrex :)

Accuracy: I was very impressed with the Tyrex PPA-K-01 BB machine guns accuracy in both semi and full auto. I was actually expecting it to do poorly in this area because of the sights, they are inverted or in other words when you are shooting with the stock open, the peep sight would be best suited and when shooting with the stock folded, the pistol "V" sight would be best suited. Unfortunately the setup is backwards on the BB gun version, perhaps a mixup in manufacturing? I may attempt to switch this around at some point. Even with hard to use sights, the Tyrex shot a 1.5 inch 8 shot group in semi auto from 20 feet out and a very respectable full auto burst grouping.

Build Quality: The ZMZ Tyrex PPA-K-01 is not going to win any beauty contests and it's a bit rough around the edges but everything about it is made to last. It's virtually all steel with the exception of the grips and when I say steel, I mean the real hard stuff they put in actual firearms. You won't find any zinc in this BB gun! The Tyrex feel solid and tight with no slop in the moving parts at all, and when you shoot it, it feels like the real thing, minus the loudness and extra recoil of course.

Realism: The Tyrex PPA-K-01 is a very close copy of the Kedr PP-91 (9 x 18 mm Makarov) which is also made in the Russian ZMZ factory. You can tell them apart visually by the grips but other then that they are virtually the same! Based on the quality of the steel used in this gun I would bet money that the BB gun version is made in the same assembly plant and using the same steel.

Purchased From: Private sale

Pros:

• All "Steel" construction - Good weight and very solid gun.

• Fit of the parts is very good.

• Heavy blowback action.

• Semi and full auto selectable with a nice high rate of fire in full auto.

• Good accuracy in both semi and full auto.

• Very Accurate Kedr PP-91replica.

• Pretty easy operation.

• The folding stock works very well and is very secure.

• Not too bad amount off shots for this style - About 2-3 25 round magazines.

• If you can find one you will be the only kid on the block with a Tyrex for sure!

Cons:

• Non adjustable sights.

• Peep and "V" sight should be the other way around.

• CO2 access can be a bit finicky and be very careful when removing it!

• Finish is a bit rough but about what you would expect from many Russian made guns.

• Supper hard to find and if you do find one you will pay a lot of money for it.

Comments:

I have been wanting to get my hands on the ZMZ Tyrex PPA-K-01 BB machine gun for some time now and I was willing to pay dearly for it! I am very happy with this purchase not just as a collector piece but one that I plan to take out and shoot often. Here in Canada the real version of this gun is completely unobtainable so this will have to do and even better yet I can shoot it in my backyard! The Tyrex PPA-K-01 is very pleasing to shoot and sounds more like a suppressed real gun then a BB gun adding to the enjoyment of shooting the Tyrex. Perhaps one day I'll swap the rear sight around and really see how well this BB gun shots?

If you haven't already checked out the main review for the RAP4 - RAP5 BB Machine Gun then make sure to read it also. This "update review" is to cover a few extra things that I didn't include in the main review like a comparison of the RAP5 to my Umarex MP5K PDW and some more video of the RAP5 shooting some cans in full auto and recorded in slow motion.

I have also had some more time to play around with the RAP5 BB gun and get an idea of how many shots you can expect using the dual 12 gram CO2 adaptor and I also tried putting two BB's inside one shell to see how 42 rounds would work shooting in full auto.
