Crosman Full Auto Quick Reload Magazine Review for DPMS - MPW - R1 - A4-P

No Comments

I have been wanting to test out the Crosman Full Auto Quick Reload Magazine for a while now and finally got around to it. The weather was cooperating with me so I went outside for this one and setup a bunch of cameras to make the many many magazine reloads a bit more interesting for my viewers.

The Crosman Full Auto Quick Reload Magazine has a hopper that is said to hold around 300 4.5mm Steel BB’s which I can attest it does in fact hold at least 300 BB’s. The Crosman Full Auto Quick Reload Magazine like their regular Crosman Full Auto Magazines holds two 12 gram CO2 Cartridges, so the question is, will I be able to get through most of the 300 BB’s without reloading the CO2?

Watch my struggle a bit to figure out the exactly how to properly use the Crosman Full Auto Quick Reload Magazine and then quickly eat through 300 or so BB’s blasting pop cans down range!

Sig Sauer ASP MPX .177 Cal. Pellet Rifle Canada vs USA Version Field Test Comparison

No Comments

Looking at the 2016 US version of the Sig Sauer ASP MPX .177 Cal. Pellet Rifle verses the more resent Canada version we have in our Canada Replica Airguns Store it is hard to really see any difference other than my US version is all black and Canada version is two tone desert tan with black highlights. To be honest I really like both color schemes but that will be a personal preference.

In this Field Test Shooting Comparison video my main goal was to see if there is any significant performance difference between the two versions. Did Sig Sauer perhaps detune the Canada version as is often the case with Canada versions of Airguns? Did Sig Sauer make any changes internally and improve the accuracy or shooting characteristics of their newer Canada model?

I am happy to say both version performed really similar, maybe the US version shot just a little bit hotter but they where within around 5 fps of each other so the same test on a different day could yield the opposite results. The same is true for my accuracy test shooting 10 rounds 30 feet downrange on a paper target. This time the Canada version shot just a tad bit tighter I would say just under an inch grouping but then again the US version was really close with really only 1 pellet extending the grouping out just over an inch. A different test I am sure and the results may be switched? After all I am only human and this was all shot using the open sights on both guns using a sand bag as a rest and sitting in a chair in the back to help with stability.

The good news is we have the Sig Sauer ASP MPX .177 Cal. Pellet Rifle available in both our Canada and US online Replica Airguns Stores so where ever you buy them from you are basically getting the exact same gun!

Sig Sauer ASP MPX .177 Cal. Pellet Rifle Canada vs USA Version Comparison

No Comments

This Table Top Comparison video is also a bit of a revisit since I reviewed the US version of the Sig Sauer ASP MPX .177 Cal. Pellet Rifle back in 2016 when it first came out. I actually had to go across the border and bring it back across with me which can be a lot of fun dealing with Canada Customs border agents. They are well meaning but often don’t fully understand their own import guidelines for Airguns. After about an hour or so I was able to convict the CBSA officer that no my Sig Sauer Airguns where not regulated Firearms and no they did not require any registration or transfer permits.

Anyway that was 5 years ago and now we have the Canada import version which makes purchasing one of the Sig Sauer ASP MPX .177 Cal. Pellet Rifles so much easier and to be honest there really isn’t any difference as far as I can tell since my original US version even though it had a claimed fps of up to 600 was actually closer to somewhere in the mid 400’s using standard .177 caliber lead pellets.

Below are the basic specifications and if you want more info than that either watch the video or checkout my Original Table Top Review for the Sig Sauer ASP MPX .177 Cal. Pellet Rifle since both the original US and newer Canada versions are virtually identical…

Type: Pellet Rifle.
Manufacturer: Sig Sauer ASP
Model: Sig Sauer MPX ASP
Materials: Metal and Nylon Fiber build.
Weight: 7 Pounds (3300 Grams).
Barrel: 8 inch steelrifled.
Propulsion: 88 or 90 Gram CO2.

Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 30 rounds belt fed.
FPS: Up to 575-600 fps (When shot by a Unicorn) Probably closer to around 450fps

I will be following this Tabel Top Review for the US and Canada Sig Sauer ASP MPX .177 Cal. Pellet Rifles with a Field Test Shooting Comparison to see if anything has really changed interns of velocity and accuracy so stay posted for that video coming out very soon…

Compact CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Field Test Comparison PPKS - PPS M2 - Mod 84FS - P365 - BP9CC

No Comments

This may the one of the most Airguns I have tested out at the same time here in the Replica Airguns Indoor Shooting Range. It took a little bit longer than normal but I go through it with only one of the CO2 Blowback BB Pistols acting up juts a bit at the beginning. After a quick fix the rest of the show went on the road you could say!

What exactly was the purpose of testing out 5 CO2 Blowback BB Pistols all together? I wanted to compare my most compact CO2 Blowback BB Pistols to each other to see which one performed the best in my Chronograph Velocity Test and 30 foot 10 Round Target Test. There was no definitive clear winner at the end of the day two of the Air Pistols performed almost the same and then the rest kind of lingered behind them to lesser degrees.

The Compact CO2 Blowback BB Pistol I compared in this Field Test Shooting Video are the same Air Pistols I did a Table Top Comparison earlier, so the:

See if you can figure out which of these Compact CO2 Blowback BB Pistols you think performed the best!

Compact CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Table Top Comparison PPK/S - PPS M2 - Mod 84FS - P365 - BP9CC

No Comments

After my Umarex Walther PPK/S Revisit Videos several people commented about comparing the Umarex Walther PPK/S to some more similar Compact Blowback Airguns other than the KWC Makarov PM. The Sig Sauer 936 came up a few times and so I figured I would see what I could find in terms of some other compact CO2 Blowback BB Pistols.

I picked out a total of 4 other CO2 4.5mm BB Pistols that where compact, had blowback action and shot all around a similar fps or velocity and decided on the Sig Sauer P365 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol, the Umarex Walther PPS M2 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol, the ASG Bersa BP9CC CO2 Blowback BB Pistol and lastly the Umarex Beretta Mod 84FS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol.

In this video I take a look at them all and go over some basic specs and design features for each Blowback CO2 BB Pistol. I will be following this table top compassion with an Indoor Field Test Shooting Comparison for each of these Air Pistols.

Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Field Test Revisit

2 Comments

This is both a revisit and a comparison Field Test Shooting Video all wrapped up into one so hold onto your socks! Make sure to watch my Table Top Revisit for the Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol where I go over the importance of this gun and how it started things off not only for Umarex but also Replica Airguns!

As always with my Indoor Filed Test Shooting Videos I test out the velocity of each Airgun along with the accuracy but in this case I want to see how a nearly 20 year old Blowback BB Pistol stacks up agains a much more modern similar BB Pistol. The closest CO2 Powered Blowback BB Pistol to the Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol as far as I could tell was the KWC Makarov Full Blowback BB Pistol since both are about the same size, share a similar look and design, have similar velocities and should perform relatively the same.

I’m not going to give it all alway in this written version of my Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Field Test Revisit, so you will ahed to watch my YouTube Video to find out. I will say both guns performed well and for the first ever working slide with simulated blowback action BB pistol ever made, I would say it holds its own against todays more modern airgun designs.

Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Table Top Revisit

Way back in 2006 I made a video called the World Smallest Full Auto BB Pistol and uploaded it to YouTube then I kind of forgot about it fro a while… A few months later I went back and checked on it and had received around 100,000 video views and I lost my mind for a bit. It made me wonder perhaps if people wanted to see more Airgun Videos so I started making the occasional Airguns Video when I bought a new Airgun and uploaded them to YouTube. They kept getting decent views and people seemed to want to watch them so I decided maybe starting an Airgun Blog that I could link my YouTube Videos to would be something people would be interested in?

Well that was how the Replica Airguns YouTube Channel and Website all began and since then things have really grown with over 300 thousand Subscribers, 138 million Video Views and over a thousand Video made to date.

I figures it was time to take a look back at the Airgun that started things all off and see if it still stands up to the newer Airguns on the market. That Airgun is the Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol which by the way was Umarex’s first ever BB Pistol and was also the first BB pistol to have a working blowback slide. I tried to find out exactly when the Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol went into production but could not find this exact info but I’m guessing it is around 20 years old by now.

As far as I know there are no new Walther PPK or PPK/S Steel BB pistols on the market, perhaps some in 6mm Airsoft versions so the closest 4.5mm BB Airgun I could compare it to was the Makarov line of Airguns, Umarex and KWC have made versions of the Makarov including the original Umarex non blowback all metal Makarov, the Umarex Legends Blowback Makarov Ultra and the KWC Full Blowback Makarov PM. Of course there is the Baikal Makarov but that is a gun that is hard to compare to other Airguns so I left that one out of the picture.

In this video I compare the Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol to the newer Makarov BB Pistols to see if it holds up at least in terms of appearance and features and to be honest other than the plastic stick magazine it really does hold up considering its age and how much time Airgun Manufacturers have had to make improvements over the years.

Make sure to watch this video to see how the Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol compares to todays modern Airguns and stay posted for my shooting comparison where I test out the much older Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol to the much newer KWC Makarov PM in the Replica Airguns Indoor Shooting Range.

ICS CPX-APE SF1 AEG Airsoft Rifle Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Shooting Video I perform my usual Chronograph and Accuracy tests in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Shooting Range to find out what the actual feet per second velocity is and how accurate the ICS CPX-APE SF1 AEG Airsoft Rifle is in both semi auto and full auto. Watch my Table Top Video if you are looking for more info on Specifications and Details along with a full tear down of the ICS CPX-APE SF1 AEG Airsoft Rifle.

First up I place 6 rounds through my Chronograph to see what the real world velocity is and the ICS CPX-APE SF1 AEG Airsoft Rifle was able to average 391 fps using .25 gram plastic Airsoft BB’s. ICS claims the ICS CPX-APE SF1 is capable of fps up to 460 fps but this would be using lighter .20 gram Airsoft BB’s which I believe is entirely possible!

ICS CXP APE AEG Airsoft Rifle Right Side Angle.png

Next I put a fresh paper target on my metal backstop 30 feet downrange and proceeded to shoot 10 round in semi auto to see how tight of a grouping I could get. I was happy to see that 7 of my 10 rounds all grouped nicely within the 1.5 inch bullseye and only 3 came out just slightly increasing the grouping to around 2 inches but still closer to 1.5 inches. When I switched over to full auto and emptied the 300 round magazine into the target, amazingly the grouping still seemed to stay pretty close to 2 inches in diameter with some stragglers. The ICS CPX-APE SF1 AEG Airsoft Rifle punched a satisfying hole in my target going through several layers of cardboard.

As you can see in this YouTube Field Test Shooting Video the ICS CPX-APE SF1 AEG Airsoft Rifle performed very well for me living up to its pristine price point. You will pay top dollar for the ICS CPX-APE SF1 AEG Airsoft Rifle but will also get top quality with a ton fo features including an almost all metal/aluminum build, ambidextrous controls throughout, tons of add on capabilities using the 5 sided Keymod hand-gurd, fully adjustable folding stock and exceptional performance.

Which Full Auto BB Rifle Performs Best - Full Auto Rate of Fire and Accuracy

No Comments

This is a bit of a different test than my usual Indoor Field Test Shooting Video I make here in the Replica Airguns indoor shooting range. I don’t test the feet per second with my Chronograph, I don’t test how accurate each gun is shooting in semi auto. Instead this Full Auto BB Rifle comparisons is to find out which Full Auto BB rifle has the highest rate of fire and which one stays on target the best shooting 25 rounds in full auto, all in one burst.

The guns I use of this Full Auto BB Rifle Full Auto Rate of Fire and Accuracy Test are:

Outside Shooting the G&G SMC-9 with Insta360 Camera Mounted to it

No Comments

It was a decent day today, not too cold and not raining at least at the time I and ethics video :) I figured with my new Insta60 One R and iVUE Vista cameras it would be a great day to test them out outside shooting with my G&G SMC-9 Full Auto Airsoft Carbine. I like the bak for more regulated Indoor Field Tests, these outside usually clay pigeon shooting videos are a lot more fun and I think a nice break for everyone.

So in this video I have three cameras rolling and switch camera switch back and forth throughout the video to make the experience more immersive. I have cameras setup front and back (Sony RX100 IV in front & Sony HDR-AS15 Back), along with my iVUE camera glasses and my Insta360 One R mounted to the barrel of my G&G SMC-9. All in all I think the video turned out well. It may be time to upgrade my Sony Action Camera as it is probably the oldest camera in my collection and you can see in the video it does not look as good as the other cameras.

KWC Cybergun Taurus PT 24/7 G1/G2 BB and Airsoft Field Test Comparison

1 Comment

I wanted to compare the KWC/Cybergun PT 24/7 G1/G2 BB and Airsoft Pistols to each other in the Replica Airguns Indoor Airgun Shooting Range to see how they compare side by side not only in terms of accuracy but also what their Feet Per Second Velocity performance would be.

Like all my Field Test Shooting Videos I place 5 rounds through my Chronograph and average out the fps to see what their real world velocity is using a brand new CO2 along with standard 4.5mm Steel BB’s and .25 gram 6mm Plastic Airsoft BB’s. I then place a paper target 30 feet down range and proceed to put 10 rounds from each gun into a fresh paper target to see not only how close the Airguns shoot to the bullseye out of the box but also how close each 10 round grouping is.

All of the KWC Cybergun Taurus PT 24/7 G1/G2 BB and Airsoft Pistols performed fairly well, the KWC PT 24/7 G1 NBB Steel BB Pistol as expected had the highest velocity at close to 400 fps while the KWC PT 24/7 G2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol with the slightly heavier then normal Airsoft Plastic BB’s shot closer to 300 fps. The KWC PT 24/7 G2 Blowback Steel BB Pistol shot just over 300 fps.

In terms of accuracy The KWC PT 24/7 G1 NBB Steel BB Pistol had one of the tighter grouping close to 2 inches but shot a fair amount to the left of the bullseye. The KWC PT 24/7 G2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol shot well centered left to right but low on the target with a spread of just over two inches and the KWC PT 24/7 G2 Blowback Steel BB Pistol was the most centered on target getting again close to a two inch grouping.

I do like the KWC Cybergun Taurus PT 24/7 G1/G2 BB and Airsoft series of Airguns and personally prefer the newer Blowback G2 models but to each their own.

iVUE Vista Versus PivotHead Recon Camera Glasses Comparison

No Comments

Yup, another Camera Video but to be fair without decent cameras and quality microphones the videos would look and sound terrible even if the content was awesome :)

Pretty sure this is the last Camera update for a while now that I have added the Insta360 One R and now the iVUE Vista 4k Camera Glasses to my arsenal of video recording gear.

I was well overdue for a new pair of Camera Glasses as my PivotHead Recon’s where 7 years old which is surprising that they held up this long and even have fared well in terms of quality compared to what is available even today for HD Camera Glasses. The main problem I had with my aging PivotHead Recon Camera Glasses was mainly battery life related, can’t record video without a good battery!

After a fair amount of online digging I found the iVUE Vista 4k Camera Glasses, I was hoping to get another pair of Pivothead Camera Glasses but it looks like they are no longer in business… Too bad! iVUE from my research looks to be a decent company with quality products and they were the only company that offered a Camera Glass that was capable of 4k and 1080p 60 frame which is what I was most interested in.

In this video I compare my iVUE Vista Versus my older PivotHead Recon Camera Glasses to see how far the tech has improved over the last 7 years our so, I was a bit surprised at how well my old PivotHead Recon Camera Glasses faired but there are some obvious improvements especially in low light and audio quality when compared to the much newer iVUE Vista 4k Camera Glasses.

The iVUE Vista Camera Glasses are capable of 4k video but only at 24 frames per second which is not smooth enough for action style shooting so I plan to record using 1080p with 60 frames per second frame rate which is what I use with my other cameras when recording video for YouTube.

Here are some of the Specifications for the iVUE Vista Camera Glasses:

  • HD Video 4k 24fps / 1080p 60fps / 720p 120fps

  • H.264 | MOV | 16:9

  • 8MP Sony CMOS Camera

  • Wide Camera Angle

  • 64GB Memory

  • 500mAH Battery (1hr)

  • Advanced Video Stabilization

  • Stereo Audio

  • Time/Date Stamp

  • Polarized Lenses and Clear Lenses

  • IP66 Water Resistant

  • Vibration Alerts

KWC Cybergun Taurus PT 24/7 G1/G2 BB and Airsoft Comparison Review

1 Comment

When we have multi potions for a specificities model of Airgun I like to compare them to each other to understand the similarities and differences of each Airgun. Often time the differences are as simple as what ammo they use, if they have licensing or not, who they are distributed through, slightly model revision and of course some cosmetic differences.

In this YouTube Video Comparison I lock at the the KWC Cybergun Taurus PT 24/7 G1/G2 BB and Airsoft lineup and go over their similarities and differences so you can decide which one may be right for you.

G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range to see if the real world performance matches the manufacturers claims. I first place 5 rounds through my Chronograph using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s with a fully gassed up extended magazine to find out what the actual FPS is. I then shoot 10 rounds from a seated and rested shooting position into a fresh paper target setup 30 feet down range to see just what we can expect and then just for fun I shoot the 40 rounds left in the 50 round magazine in full auto to see how this also effects accuracy.

Starting with my Chronograph test, the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine averaged 339 FPS with the fastest shot recorded at 350 fps and the slowest being 324 fps, so very consistent in terms of sustained fps during my Chronograph velocity testing. The velocity was a bit under the claimed 366-375 fps but I was using slightly heavier BB’s and it wasn’t super warm temperatures in the Sea Can on this testing day, around room temperature, (20 degrees Celsius or 68 degrees Fahrenheit).

Moving onto the accuracy testing for the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine, it performed pretty decent shooting about a 10 round 4 inch grouping but if I removed two flyers top and bottom the grouping would have been loser to 1.5 inches. The grouping was well centered on the target but I did adjust the sights up a bit as initially out of the box the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine was shooting fairly low at 30 feet out. The good news is the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine has fully adjustable sights for windage and elevation along with the 120 clicks of hop-up adjustment. When it came to my full auto testing I found I was shooting really low, perhaps from the blowback recoil pushing me of target? This was the case at least when I did a 40 round mag dump. When I performed the test using shorter bursts I was able to keep more rounds centered on the target for sure but accuracy in full auto was not nearly as good as in semi auto because of the heavy blowback.

Over all the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine performed decent for me, the velocity was bang on right around what is claimed by G&G allowing this GBB Airsoft Carbine to shoot targets at further out ranges. Accuracy in semi auto was also very good but again shooting in full auto will take a bit more of your attention keeping the blowback recoil under control, for this reason burst fire in full auto will give you better accuracy which is more than likely how you would be shooting the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine anyways. I really like the diversity you get with the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine and if you are into Gas Blowback Airsoft guns, then I feel you get similar performance to an AEG but with a lower capacity magazines, but then again I may just have to get my hands on a drum magazine for the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine and see how that changes things.

BB - Pellet - Airsoft - Paintball Pistol Power and Accuracy Test

No Comments

I often have people ask me what is more powerful in terms of one gun over another and which Airguns have more raw power, BB versus, Pellet, versus Airsoft, versus Paintball?

Well in this indoor field test shooting video I compare all of the above head to head to see which Airgun not only has the most raw power but also how well they perform on a target setup 30 feet down range since after all what does it matter how powerful a gun is if it can not hit the target!

The Airguns I used in this head to head shooting performance test where as follows:

Keep in mind the ammunition for each Airgun is very different not just in terms of materials but also their weight which will have a big effect on the energy they produce. For example for this test I used 4.6 grain 4.5mm Steel BBs, 4.6 grain 6mm Aluminum Airsoft BB’s. 6.9 grain .177 cal. Lead Pellets and 17.7 grain .50 cal. Rubber Paintballs.

Watch my YouTube Video to see how well each Airgun did in this comparison shooting test!

G&G Piranha MK I & TR GBB Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the G&G Piranha MK I & TR GBB Airsoft Pistols in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range to see what the real world performance is for these very similar Airsoft Pistols. I first place 5 rounds through my Chronograph for each Airsoft Gun using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s with fully gassed up magazines to find out what the actual fps velocity is. I then shoot 10 rounds from a seated and rested shooting position into fresh paper targets setup 30 feet down range to see just what we can expect in terms of accuracy from the G&G Piranha series.

Starting with my Chronograph test, a placed 5 rounds through my Chronograph with both the G&G Piranha MK I and G&G Piranha TR GBB Airsoft Pistols. Technically they should have performed nearly identical but not all guns are setup exactly the same out of the box and so the G&G Piranha MK I GBB Airsoft Pistol did shoot a bit hotter than the G&G Piranha & TR GBB Airsoft Pistol averaging 290 fps versus 257 fps. As a quick test I placed the magazine from the MK I into the TR and the G&G Piranha TR GBB Airsoft Pistol did shoot much hotter and very close to the G&G Piranha MK resultsI. I would assume the valves in these magazines where perhaps not letting out the same amount of Gas hence the difference in velocity. The velocity was well under the claimed 370+but I was using slightly heavier BB’s and it was a little cold in the Sea Can on this testing day, not quite room temperature. Around 19 degrees Celsius or 66 degrees Fahrenheit.

Moving onto the accuracy testing for the G&G Piranha MK I & TR GBB Airsoft Pistols, they performed pretty well shooting 10 round 2 inch groupings with both Airsoft Pistols shooting on the money vertically while the G&G Piranha MK I shot a bit to the left and the G&G Piranha TR shooting well centered all around.

All in both of the G&G Piranha MK I & TR GBB Airsoft Pistols performed good for me, I would have liked to have seen the fps higher since both guns where well under the claimed 370+ fps but for close quarter shooting you should have no problem with either of them and again maybe your magazine will shoot a bit hotter than mine did. The partial blowback action is snappy and quick with just enough recoil action to give that realistic shooting experience. The triggers on the G&G Piranha MK I & TR GBB Airsoft Pistols are really nice allowing for quick tight followup shots and again if you like the look and feel of a Glock but perhaps want something a bit more unique then you will want to consider one of the G&G Piranha series Airsoft Pistols know doubt.

G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range to see what the real world performance is for this Beretta 92 styled G&G Airsoft Pistol. I first place 5 rounds through my Chronograph using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s with a fully gassed up magazine to find out what the actual FPS is. I then shoot 10 rounds from a seated and rested shooting position into a fresh paper target setup 30 feet down range to see just what we can expect in terms of accuracy from the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol.

Starting with my Chronograph test, the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol averaged 275 FPS with the fastest shot recorded at 278 FPS and the slowest being 274 FPS, so very consistent in terms of sustained FPS doing my testing. The velocity was well under the claimed 366 but I was using slightly heavier BB’s and it was a little cold in the Sea Can on this testing day, not quite room temperature. Around 19 degrees Celsius or 66 degrees Fahrenheit.

Moving onto the accuracy testing for the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol, it performed pretty decent shooting about a 10 round 1.5 inch grouping if I removed one flyer that pulled a bit to the left. The grouping was a little bit low but well centered left and right so even though the sights are none adjustable I should be able to pull up the shot placement a bit using the hop-up adjustment.

All in all the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol performed well for me, I would have liked to see the FPS just a bit higher but for close quarter shooting you should have no problem with it. The blowback action is nice and firm and the typical Beretta single and double action trigger is true to form allowing for a round in the pipe with the hammer safely decocted but ready to go with a quick release of the safety and a double action pull of the first round. The G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol may be a bit bulky and heavy for some smaller handed shooter so keep that in mind.

G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol.
Manufacturer: G&G
Model: GPM92 GP2
Materials: Metal slide & frame, real wood grips.
Weight: 2.3 pounds (1040 grams).
Length: 8.9 inches total
Barrel: 4.6 inches, Metal non-rifled smooth bore.
Propulsion: Green gas or propane.
Action: Blowback, single and double action.
Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 28rounds.
FPS: 366+ fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol is very good in both single and double action. Double action is a bit longer but not that much heavier when shooting in single action. Single action shooting is short, light and crisp as you would expect when shooting a real steel Beretta 92 style pistol.

Accuracy: I have not done my actual Field Test Shooting video review for the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol but it should perform similar to my earlier review of the G&G GPM92 GBB Airsoft Pistol where it performed fairly well shooting in the mid 300 fps with a nice under 1 inch 10 round shot placement for 30 feet down range.

Build Quality: Like pretty much all G&G Airsoft guns, the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol build quality is right inline. Fit and finish where excellent and a lot of attention to detail was seen all over this Replica Airsoft Pistol. It also has an updated Ceramic Whirl Cylinder Valve technology from G&G that should significantly help with freezing in colder or fast shooting situations along with a new Hop-up system you can easily adjust without taking the Airsoft gun apart.

Realism: The G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol is an excellent replica of the real steel Beretta Mod. 92FS, the safety even acts as a working de-cocker. You'll also find 5, 10, and 15 numbered markings on the backside of the magazine that would normally indicate how many bullets are in the magazine, a nice touch for sure! Everything works pretty much the same as it would on a real Beretta M9 including the ability to fully field strip the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol. I like the addition of th real wood grips that are a bit thicker than the plastic ones but if you ahed decent sized hands this shoudl not be a problem for you.

Available in the: Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • Lots of metal and good overall weight.

  • Pretty heavy Blowback operation.

  • Ceramic Whirl Cylinder Valve should expect to get decent amount of shots per green gas fill.

  • White dot sights front and back.

  • Nice real wood grips.

  • Comes with hard shell case.

  • New Hop-up system for quick and easy fine adjustments with no need to field strip the gun.

  • 20mm Rail for accessories.

  • comes in three different color schemes. Black, Silver, Gold.

  • Comes with high quality speed loader

  • Safety also works as a de-cocker.

  • Threaded removable barrel tip for add on mock suppressor.

Cons:

  • Sights are non adjustable.

  • Wood grips make the grips a bit thicker than plastic grips.

  • Price does go up especially if yo want the silver or gold version.

Comments:

I would have to say the new G&G GPM92 GP2 is one of the nicest Beretta Model 92FS Airsoft Pistols you are going to find out there, even a step up over the previous GPM92 model. There is a ton of attention to detail for sure, You also get the hard shell case with included high quality speed loader and G&G's updated Ceramic Valve and Revolutionary Whirl Cylinder Valve that help with freeze-up issues. It’s also nice that you no longer are required to filed strip the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol in order to adjust hop-up and the real wood grips just really finish off this quality product from G&G.

Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle Field Test Review

2 Comments

So here it is, my Field Test Shooting review for the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle. Crosman let me in on their upcoming AK1 BB rifle at SHOT Show this year even though no sample was available at the time but since then I have been eagerly anticipating its arrival!

For this Field Test Shooting Review I test out the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle as I do with all my Airguns by first finding out if the velocity matches up with the claimed fps by the company. I do this by using fresh CO2 in the Airgun and making sure the room temperature is in or around the mid temperatures, in this case just over 20 degrees Celsius or just over 68 degrees Fahrenheit. I follow up my velocity test with an accuracy test shooting 10 rounds at a paper target from 30 feet away using a rested and seated shooting position. With full auto Airguns I like to follow up with some full auto shots in this case I did a full mag dump of 28 round to see how well the BB’s stayed one target.

For my velocity test I placed six 5.1 grain steel BB’s through my Chronograph using a mostly brand new pair of CO2 cartridges. I had shot around 8-10 BB’s before hand to make sure my Red Dot was sighed in close to the bullseye. The shot fps spread was 427 as the fastest and 407 fps for the slowest averaging 415 fps which is fairly close to the maximum fps of 430 claimed by Crosman. I can see the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle easily hitting 430 fps or even over in warmer conditions.

Next I setup a brand new paper target 30 feet downrange and carefully placed 10 rounds into the paper using my Red Dot sight. The Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle grouped right around 1.5-2 inches, I’m pretty sure it is capable of getting even sub 1 inch groupings with a little bit of time behind the trigger. I then did a full 28 round magazine dump which the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle unloaded in just under 2 seconds and as expected the groping did spread out a bit more to perhaps 4 inches or so. The grouping did also drop down a little bit compared to the semi auto grouping but this could be from the full auto blowback rocking of the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle.

As kind of expected the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle performed a lot like the other Crosman AR line of Full Auto BB Rifles which is a good thing since so far none of them have let me down. Now we have yet another choice in Full Auto BB Airguns, so if you’ve been waiting for or looking for an AK version this may be your only choice to date in a steel BB Blowback version, that said it is not a bad choice at all!

Umarex Desert Eagle .177 Cal. CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol Field Test Review

2 Comments

I have been wanting to revisit the Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle .177 Cal. CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol for some time and looking back I just released I never did in fact make an accuracy shooting video for it. I did make YouTube Table Top Video and a YouTube Chronograph Video but never an actual Target Accuracy Shooting Video. Well it was time to fix that even though the Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle .177 Cal. CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol is now discontinued.

I purchased my Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle .177 Cal. CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol around 10 years ago but it has been on the market since I believe 2006 and was the first pellet firing blowback CO2 Air Pistol. It’s a mostly plastic exterior Airgun but still has some good weight to it and compared to today CO2 Blowback Pellets Pistols it actually performs just as well if not even better as my Complete Field Test Shooting Video demonstrates.

In my Velocity and Accuracy test for the Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle .177 Cal. CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol I compare it to two other more modern Pellet firing CO2 Blowback Air Pistols to see how it compares 15 years later. My selection to test agains was the Sig Sauer M17 and the Umarex SA10 which I have already done full reviews for so check them out if you re interested inmate info on those two models.

As always I put 5 rounds through my Chronograph to see what the average fps. I used a brand new CO2 along with 6.9 grain lead pellets in all airguns for all of the tests. For my accuracy test in this case I shot 8 rounds (8 round magazines in 2 of the airguns) at a paper target setup 30 feet down range using a rested and seated shooting position for stability.

I usually tell you the result in my written Field Test Shooting Articles but this time I am going to make you watch the video to find out for yourself. Let me just say the Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle .177 Cal. CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol did not let me down isn was just as good as I remembered it to be shooting it over 10 years ago.
