ASG Action Army T-11 Spring Powered Bolt Action Airsoft Gun Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Shooting Video I put the ASG Action Army T-11 Spring Powered Bolt Action Airsoft Gun through it’s paces by first testing out the velocity placing several rounds through my Chronograph, and then I setup a paper target downrange and place 10 rounds into it to see how tight of a grouping I can get. If you have not already watched my Table Top Video for this Airsoft Sniper Pistol/Rifle then make sure to do so for more details, specifications and close up video.

Starting off with my real world velocity test for the ASG Action Army T-11 Spring Powered Bolt Action Airsoft Gun, I decided to use .28 gram Airsoft BB’s for this entire Field test Shooting video so I was expecting to get somewhere between 20-25% slower fps velocity as compared to the standard tested .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. After placing around 6 shots through my Chronograph I averaged 328 fps which ended up being 18% slower than the claimed 400 fps made by ASG. I would image if I had used .20 gram Airsoft BB’s I may have even exceeded 400 fps.

Moving on to the accuracy portion of my Indoor Field Test here in the Replica Airguns Sea Can, as always I placed a fresh paper target 30 feet downrange and proceeded to shoot 10 rounds into it from a rested and seated shooting position to allow for best possible results with as little human factor added in. I was using a 4x optical scope since the ASG Action Army T-11 Spring Powered Bolt Action Airsoft Gun does not come with any type of sighting system included so I did have to sight it in initially. I did manage to get a nice 1.5 inch grouping fairly close to the bullseye but I did notice that if I angled the barrel down a bit, BB’s would roll out of the barrel which made me wonder if the hop-up was set high enough to engage a BB.

So I did my second test with the hop-up set in the middle range and this time BB’s did not fall out of the barrel when angled down. After the hop-up adjustment I did notice I was shooting a bit higher which is expected with more hop-up adjustment so if you are experiencing BB’s falling out of the barrel then make sure to adjust your hop-up a bit tighter.

All in all the ASG Action Army T-11 Spring Powered Bolt Action Airsoft Gun performed very well for me especially once I got the hop-up figured out. And I do think it makes for a really nice compact Sniper Rifle if bulkiness is a factor for you, if not then checkout the Rifle version of this gun with the more traditional but-stock and longer barrel.

Umarex Fusion 2 CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Rifle Field Test Review

1 Comment

Make sure to watch my Table Top Video Review where I go into more detail about the specifications and details along with some nice close up video of the Umarex Fusion 2 CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Rifle.

In this Vimeo Video Field Test Review I test out the Umarex Fusion 2 CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Rifle in the indoor Replica Airguns Shooting Range to see how accurate it is and what kind fo velocity we can expect from it.

Starting with the velocity test I averaged out 8 rounds through my chronograph using 8.18 grain lead pellets using the dual 12 gram CO2 setup and I was able to average 445 fps which is not bad as these are mid grain weight pellets, lighter weight pellets would for sure get closer to the 490 fps claimed by Umarex. The temperate was about average room temp so not overly cold or warm.

Moving on to the accuracy test I placed all 9 rounds from the rotary magazine into a fresh paper target setup 30 feet away. I use a reseted seated position in the back with the Umarex Fusion 2 CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Rifle resting on a sand bag up front and I was using the 4 power scope for this test which I setup earlier. My final result was for sure an under one half inch grouping, I did feel like I pulled one shot a little bit but I am sure this Airgun can get quarter inch groupings at 30 feet and I would expect half inch groupings at 50 feet so perfect for mid range small pest shooting.

Umarex does adversities this Air rifle as being very quiet but in Canada we are not allowed to have any type of suppressor even on airguns so I believe this Canada version has been disabled in that regard but the Umarex Fusion 2 CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Rifle is fairly quiet for sure with its long barrel and slightly lower fps than the US version. Overall the Umarex Fusion 2 CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Rifle is a lot of bang for the buck with the added 4x scope, included magazines that hold 9 rounds each and the ability to use either a dual 12 gram or single 88 gram CO2 setup. It also looks really cool and performs just as good!

Umarex Mod 92 A1 and 1911 Tac CO2 Blowback Airsoft Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Replica Airguns Vimeo Field Test Shooting Video I put the KWC / Umarex Mod. 92 A1 andElite Force 1911 TAC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistols through my Indoor Sea Can Shooting Test. Fist I find out what the real world velocity is by placing 5 rounds through my Chronograph and average out the FPS. I then shoot 10 rounds on a paper target for 30 feet back using a semi rested shooting position, sand bag up front and seated in the back.

Starting with my velocity test for both CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistols I made sure to use a brand new CO2 along with .25 gram Airsoft BB’s so a bit heavier than what was used for the official stats. Both Umarex Airsoft Pistols shot really similar velocities with the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 A1 averaging 364 FPS and the Umarex Elite Force 1911 TAC averaging 365 FPS. If I had been using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s I am sure these numbers would have been closer to the claimed 400 or so FPS.

Moving on to the accuracy test again I performed this test which each Umarex CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol. The Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 A1 performed a little bit better than the 1911 with all 10 shots grouping within 1.5 inches and very well centered on the target. The Umarex Elite Force 1911 TAC did have a slightly wider grouping closer to 2 inches and was a lilt bit high on the target but center nicely left to right. Of course the full auto mode on the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 A1 did not produce anything even close to a tight group but it is always fun shooting in full auto :)

All in all both of these KWC / Umarex CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistols performed well for me in terms of meeting their expectations for velocity and accuracy. We have them in our online Replica Airguns Stores in either KWC Unlicensed or Umarex Licensed versions so take your pick!

Crosman MAKO Blowback CO2 BB Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Review Video I test out the performance of the Crosman MAKO Blowback CO2 BB Pistol to see what the real world velocity and accuracy is for this Crosman Blowback BB Pistol. Crosman States 425 fps which is fairly high for a Blowback Airgun so we’ll see if I can get close to it!

Starting with my Velocity Test, I place 5 rounds through my Chronograph using a brand new CO2 with Daisy Zinc coated 5.1 grain Steel BB’s and averaged 390 fps withy the fastest shot hitting 403 fps and the slowest shot going down to 384 fps. It was not super warm in the sea can so I imagine with a bit warmer temperature this number would have been a little bit higher, maybe just up and over 400 which is still impressive for a blowback BB Pistol.

Moving on to my accuracy test, I placed 11 shots (meant to shoot 10) on a fresh paper target 30 feet down range and was able to get all shots within about a 3 inch grouping slightly low and to the left of the bullseye but not far off. I was shooting from a seated position with my hands resting on a sand bag for stability but of course some human factor is involved here.

Overall the Crosman MAKO Blowback CO2 BB Pistol performed decent for a fairly low cost and basic Blowback Airgun. The Blowback action is crisp with a long but not super heavy trigger. I like the fiber optic sights that make lining targets up super easy on virtually any background you are shooting on. This Airgun does have a large grip so keep that in mind if you have smaller hands but other than that it is a really fun Airguns to shoot!

Umarex S&W M&P 9 M2.0 Blowback CO2 BB Pistol Field Test Review

1 Comment

Make sure to also checkout my Table Top Review for the Umarex S&W M&P 9 M2.0 Blowback CO2 BB Pistol.

In this video I test out the Umarex S&W M&P 9 M2.0 Blowback CO2 BB Pistol to see what we can expect in terms of accuracy and velocity. I first shoot several rounds through my Chronograph to get an average fps fooled by an accuracy test where I shoot 10 rounds at a paper target setup 30 feet down range to see how tight of a grouping I can get and if the Airgun out of the box shoots relatively on target.

Starting with my Velocity Test I shot about 9 rounds through my Chronograph to get a 6 shot average using a brand new CO2. The first three shots seemed to be a bit low as the Umarex S&W M&P 9 M2.0 Blowback CO2 BB Pistol is brand new and this was probably the CO2 valve settling in a bit. After the first three shots all the rest of the shots where in the 350-360 fps ranges with an average of 359 fps, fairly close to the Umarex 375 claimed fps on the packaging.

Next I setup a brand new paper target 30 feet down range and placed 10 rounds carefully on it from a seated and rested shooting position. I was able to get close to a two inch grouping that was a bit to the left of the bullseye but well centered vertically. The sights are not adjustable so at least with this gun I would need to aim juts a little bit to the right to nail targets consistently.

Overall I am impressed with the Umarex S&W M&P 9 M2.0 Blowback CO2 BB Pistol, the fps was right in the ballpark giving better performance than most full blowback BB guns which will ams translate to more shots per CO2. The accuracy was also on point, it just would be nice if some of these lower coat airguns had adjustable sights to get them dead canter. I did find the trigger to be better than expected, it is a bit long as the first part of the trigger is used to shutle a BB into the breach for the magazine but usually this porting of the trigger pull can have a bit of friction to it, not the case with the Umarex S&W M&P 9 M2.0 Blowback CO2 BB Pistol as it felt really smooth. The actual trigger release does require a bit more force but once y9u figure it out the guns world well and would make for good action shooting.

Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 GBB Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review Long Barrel

3 Comments

UPDATE: All Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 and Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistols now ship with the Shorter Barrels!!

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 GBB Airsoft Pistol in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sean Airgun Shooting range. This product now comes with the longer sticking out barrel to increase the FPS for import into Canada to get it up and over the 360 FPS requirement using a .20 gram Airsoft BB. In my previous video I test out the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistol but swapped out the longer barrel for the shorter barrel to see how much the sorter barrel reduces velocity and also if there is an impact on accuracy? Make sure to watch that video to get the scoop on the shorter barrel with both the Umarex Glock 17 dam Glock 19 GBB Airsoft Pistols

For the velocity portion of this test I placed several .25 gram Airsoft BB’s through my Chronograph and was please to get a very consistent 355 average FPS reading which is very close to the claimed 360 FPS when using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s so if I had been using a lighter BB I would have for sure seen velocity up and over the 360 FPS.

In terms of accuracy the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 GBB Airsoft Pistol also performed really well, maybe not as well as the short barrel Glock 19 Gen 3 I tested just last week that seemed to group just a little bit tighter and was a little bit more well vented on the target. Both the Glock 17 and Glock 19 shot a bit low but I am sure a slight hop-up tweak could rectify that. I did however manage to get around a 2 - 2.5 inch 10 shot grouping.

So in summary both the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 and Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistols at least for now come with the longer barrels only and so you options are to either cut down the existing barrel or buy a shorter barrel and replace it, that is unless you like the look of the long sticking out barrel ;) You will get a velocity drop of around 75 FPS with the shorter barrel installed but I would say accuracy should be about the same at the end of the day.

Umarex Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review Short Barrel

No Comments

UPDATE: All Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 and Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistols now ship with the Shorter Barrels!!

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistol in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sean Airgun Shooting range. This product now comes with the longer sticking out barrel to increase the FPS for import into Canada to get it up and over the 360 FPS cut off using a .20 gram Airsoft BB. I wanted to see how much of a difference the shorter barrel would make so I will be comparing the short barrel with the long barrel to find out the FPS and accuracy differences. In the Video I only shoot the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistol with the short barrel but in my next video I Shot the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 GBB Airsoft Pistol with its included long barrel for comparison.

For the velocity portion of this test I placed 5 .25 gram Airsoft BB’s through my Chronograph and was please to get a very consistent 276 average FPS reading with the slowest shot hitting 274 FPS and the fastest shot hitting 278 FPS so really close. Keep in mind I was using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s rather than .20 gram Airsoft BB’s so I would imagine the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistol even using the shorter barrel should hit closer to 300 FPS with the lighter Airsoft BB’s.

In terms of accuracy the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistol also performed really well, I did not make any adjustments to the gun after installing the shorter barrel not even to the hopup. I was pleased to see a fairly well centered 10 shot grouping mostly within a 2 inch grouping with perhaps one flyer extending that group to about 2.5 inches. All shots where well centered left to right but just a light bit under the target, a quick hopup adjustment should rectify that.

My next Vimeo Video will be focusing on the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 GBB Airsoft Pistol with its included long barrel to see what kind of velocity gains we get for it and if the longer barrel helps with accuracy at all so look for that video early next week!

Crosman Night Stalker CO2 Blowback BB Pistol with Laser Field Test Review

No Comments

At SHOT Show 2019 Crosman rolled out their new CO2 Blowback BB Pistol called the Night Stalker. Not be confused with their CO2 Rotary Magazine Pellet Rifle also named the “NightStalker” which was discontinued a while back. Today I actually got my hands on one of Crosman’s pistol version Night Stalkers and so I took out through its paces in the Sea Can Replica Airguns Shooting Range to see how well it performs…

Starting with the velocity, Crosman claims 420 fps which perhaps seems a bit high for a blowback CO2 Pistol but my test results yielded very close to that claim with a five shot storing averaging 405 fps in medium warm testing conditions so in a bit hotter environments 420 fps is for sure possible at least on a brand new fresh CO2. The blowback action is incredible fast and snappy, you almost can’t even see it happening but you can feel it for sure. I was even getting some blasts of CO2 coming back at me so the Crosman Night Stalker CO2 Blowback BB Pistol seems to be dumping a fair amount of CO2 with each shot.

For the accuracy portion of my test I of course wanted to use the built in guide rod based laser, out of the box the laser was point rather low and to the right at least when I lined tings up with the iron sights. A quick Allen key adjustment and I was able to line up the laser exactly with where the Crosman Night Stalker CO2 Blowback BB Pistols iron sights where pointing. Unfortunately the Crosman Night Stalker CO2 Blowback BB Pistol shoots rather low so in hind sight I would want the laser to actually be pouting under the iron sight point in order to bring up the Steel BB’s about 56 inches or so to line up with the bullseye. Not a problem as a quick Allen Key adjustment and I can point the red dot anywhere I want it to go. I was able to get about a 3 inch 10 shot grouping that spread out more left to right rather than up and down.

The Crosman Night Stalker CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is a really nice looking Airgun, kind of like a bully Walther PPK, I like the built in guide rod laser that still allows for the use of the Picatinny rail for adding in a tac light. With a little bit of laser adjustment and practice I am sure the Crosman Night Stalker CO2 Blowback BB Pistol would, be more than accurate enough for back yard planning at 20-40 feet away.

Crosman Vigilante CO2 Pellet and BB Revolver Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out Crosman’s latest version to the 357 line of CO2 Revolvers and perform both my Velocity and Accuracy test using both .177 caliber Lead Pellets and 4.5mm Steel BB’s to see which ammo has better velocity/power and is most accurate. Also make sure to watch my Table Tope Video Review where I go ver specifications and features and show the Crosman Vigilante CO2 Pellet and BB Revolver up nice and close.

Starting with the velocity portion of my Indoor Field Test Shooting video I placed a brand new 12 gram CO2 into the Crosman Vigilante CO2 Pellet and BB Revolver and tested out some 7 grain .177 caliber Lead Pellets. I was able to average 389 fps in what I would consider normal indoor temperature ranges so you can expect a bit higher velocities in outdoor weather conditions. Moving on the 4.5mm 5.1 grain Steel BB’s, I averaged a bit lower at 360 fps which may seem confusing since the Steel BB’s are lighter than the Lead Pellets? The Lead Pellets fit the barrel much more snug stoping any CO2 from getting around them which helps increase the fps over the Steel BB’s which are a hard metal and need to be slightly smaller in diameter and therefore do let some CO2 get by reducing the pressure behind them.

For my accuracy porting of the the Indoor Field Test I was going to place 6 shots from each magazine into my paper target setup 30 feet down range but ended up using all 10 rounds for the pellet magazine, perhaps because I was just having too much fun :) Since the BB magazine only holds 6 rounds my shot grouping for BB’s only included 6 shots so keep that in mind for the final results. All said and done the Lead Pellets outperformed the Steel BB’s once again getting about a 1.5 inch grouping over the 2.5 inch grouping for the Steel BB’s. And I know the Crosman Vigilante CO2 Pellet and BB Revolver is more than capable of getting a .5 to 1 inch grouping from previous Field Tests I have made using similar 357 type Crosman Revolvers.

The Crosman Vigilante CO2 Pellet and BB Revolver is just one of those must have old school classic Air Pistols I think everyone should own at least some sort of version of. I do like the look of the Vigilante barrel with it’s more modern and aggressive design and functional top and bottom rails for adding on accessories. The ability to choose what ammo type you want to shoot is also a plus and the price point is bang on for a nice CO2 Air powered Revolver.

WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

I haven’t reviewed many WE products over the years as they where not part of our inventory in the Replica Airguns Store. The good news is we do carry a selection of their pistols in our Canada Store including the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol I review in this video along with some 1911’s. In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Shooting Range to find out what the real world velocity and accuracy is.

Starting with the velocity portion of the test I place 6 rounds through my Chronograph using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s and I averaged 317 fps which is about right considering the claimed fps is 366+ using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. The temperature was also not overly hot or cold in the Sea Can so in warner shooting conditions the fps will up a bit too.

Next I performed my accuracy test where i generally shoot 10 rounds on a paper target for 30 feet back ling a rested shooting position, sand bag up front and sensated in the back. I found the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol was shooting a good 6-8 inches low at this range with the default hop-up setup so I had to aim near the top of my target to place rounds closer to the bullseye for the sake of the video. I would say the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is capable of 1-2 inch 10 rod groupings, my test was closer to 2 inches but I can see potential for sub 2 inch groups. A quick hop-up adjustment should bring the aim point closer to where the rounds are actually hitting. I did perform a full auto mag dump and the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol was able to get through all 26 rounds with a full mag of gas but as expected accuracy was not very goo dat all as the heavy blowback action really throws this gun around.

All in all the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is a really nice Airsoft pistol that performs fairly well and in a game situation would get the job done nicely. It’s also a real looker with it’s stainless looking finish. Keep posted for my Table Top Video I will be making shortly for the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol.

Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol with Laser Field Test Review

No Comments

I was hoping this Field Test Shooting Video would go off without a hitch but I did stubble with the laser a bit, I like to shoot guns straight out of the box without really sighting them in but in the case of an add on laser I was expecting to do some sight adjustments. To my surprise when I placed the laser on the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol the laser red dot lined up almost perfectly with the open sights. Sounds great but during my actual test it seems that the heavy blowback action may have nocked the laser sight around placing the laser red dot way to high making the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol shoot really low for this test. I did figure it out via some trial and error and was able to pull off this Field Test Shooting Review in the end for everyone…

Starting with the Chronograph portion of the Field Test Shooting Video, I placed 5 shots through my Chrony and was able to get an average fps of 315. The temperature was not really cold or hot so on a warmer day I would expect around 330 to 340 fps. I did accidentally shoot off around 5 rounds in full auto at the beginning which may have effected the first couple of higher velocity shots that come out when you are using a new CO2 but there results I got I was happy with and give a more realistic velocity fo the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol.

Next I placed 10 rounds into my paper target setup 30 feet down range and did my best to get them on the paper, as mentioned I had to figure out exactly where the laser red dot was pointing in relation to where the BB’s where hitting and once I figured this out I was able to get 10 rounds all within about 2 inches of each other so not bad for a Blowback CO2 BB Pistol. of course the included Laser Sight is adjustable for windage and elevation so I could line up the laser red dot with the actual shot placement which is something you can not do with the non adjustable open sights.

All in all the Crosman P1 Taurus PT-92 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Pistol with Laser performed much like all the other KWC PT92 CO2 Blowback Beretta/Taurus type Airguns, the laser red dot simply allows for a more visual and perhaps faster way to place BB’s on your target, at least once you get it sighted in of course!

ASG TAC-6 CO2 Airsoft Rifle Field Test Review

No Comments

Today I decided to get outside since the weather was nice and make my Field Test Shooting Video for the ASG TAC-6 CO2 Airsoft Rifle (actually outside in the filed!) After all the ASG TAC-6 CO2 Airsoft Rifle is a sniper rifle and so I wanted to test it out at longer ranges than my 30 foot indoor shooting range can allow for. So I setup two paper targets at around 40 feet and 80 feet out, the actually distance may have been longer than that?

Starting off my Field Test Review I placed five .25 gram plastic Airsoft BB’s through my Chronograph and averaged 446 fps which is 6 fps faster than the claimed 440 fps from ASG. And that was with .25 gram Airsoft BB’s so if I was using lighter .20 gram BB’s I would expect velocity closer to around 500fps so don’t be shooting anyone with this Airsoft Rifle at close ranges!

Next I proceeded with my accuracy test placing 5 rounds on the target setup around 40 feet downrange. I managed to get all 5 rounds within about 2 inches of each other, not bad since this is a good 10 feet more than I usually test my Airsoft Rifles at. With the remaining 10 rounds in my magazines I was hoping to get at least a couple shots on my paper target setup a good 80 feet away but did not have much luck, I even reloaded the 15 round stick magazine 2 more times and gave it a go but again with no success! The Airsoft BB’s seemed to want to angle off in all direction usually up and to the right or left right before the 80 foot target, perhaps I would have had much better luck at 60 feet?

All I can surmise from this higher range Field Test is that the ASG TAC-6 CO2 Airsoft Rifle is not really a long range Airsoft gun at least with the .25 gram Airsoft BB’s I was using, maybe heavier Airsoft BB’s would settle down a bit more? I can say at ranges up to 40 feet the ASG TAC-6 CO2 Airsoft Rifle did perform just fine so keep that in mind when looking into buying one of these as smoking cans at 30-40 feet will be no problem and make for some fun times in the back yard or even basement makeshift gun range.

Make sure to also watch my Table Top review for the ASG TAC-6 CO2 Airsoft Rifle.

Air Venturi 3000 PSI Aluminum HPA Tank with Stock and Adapter Field Test Review (Sort of)

1 Comment

I will say right off the bat this Field Test Shooting Video for the Air Venturi 3000 PSI Aluminum HPA Tank with Stock and Adapter did not go as well as I would have wanted it to! The HPA tank itself worked really well but I believe the adapter was faulty as it was destroying the seals on my tank and not regulating very well.

I still wanted to publish this video regardless as not all reviews go as planned, some fail horribly but I would rather be honest and transparent about it rather than have you believe every product is a perfect.

There will always be problems even with really great products there can be defects. I plan to get a new adaptor and try this Field Test Review Video again but for now you can have some fun watching me at least have some success using the Air Venturi 3000 PSI Aluminum HPA Tank with Stock on my Rap4 Rap5 MP5.

You can also watch my Table Top Review Video for more details and info on this product!

EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master John Wick GBB Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Shooting Video I put the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master John Wick GBB Airsoft Pistol through its paces to see how well it performs in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range. I first place 5 rounds through the chronograph to see what the actual real world velocity is and then I shoot 10 rounds on my paper target 30 feet downrange to see how tight of a grouping I can get with it.

For my Chronograph Test I was using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s so the velocity will be a little bit under the claimed 370 using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. The temperature was average, not hot or cold so right around room temperature. My 5 shot sting resulted in an average of 312 fps so I would guesstimate an additional 50-60 fps using the .20 gram BB’s since the Airsoft BB’s I was using where ab out 20% heavier than what was claimed. So 370 is for sure possible with the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master John Wick GBB Airsoft Pistol.

Going onto my accuracy test, again I used the same .25 gram Airsoft BB’s and placed 10 rounds back to back into my fresh paper target setup 30 feet away. As usually I had my hands resting on a sand bag up front and I was sitting in the back which helps get a fairly stable shooting position but not without some human factor involved. I did manage to place 4 rounds right inside the 1.5 inch bullseye but 6 did come out with my last shot being a bit of a flyer hitting rather low on the target. If I removed the flyer form the equation the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master John Wick GBB Airsoft Pistol did mange to shoot a 3 inch grouping. I do feel I can do better with this Airsoft pistol when I dial in the right Airsoft BB’s, hop-up and of course get a bit more use to shooting it.

All things considered, I really like the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master John Wick GBB Airsoft Pistol! It has one of the best triggers I have ever reviewed with a nice combination of short take up and light predictable trigger release. The blowback action is fast yet not overwhelming and the overall feel of shooting this gun is very satisfying. Make sure to also checkout my Table Top Video Review for the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master John Wick GBB Airsoft Pistol where I go into more details about the specifications and features along with some nice close up video.

Crosman Full Auto Quick Reload Magazine Review Update

No Comments

Apparently I got it all wrong when I did my original Crosman Full Auto Quick Reload Magazine Review and several of my viewers where not hesitant to let me know :)

I thought when I read the one mag instruction guide that I had a good idea on how to use it but there was one area I misunderstood. I thought I needed to pull the tab in and out several times to reload the magazine but in fact I only needed to pull it out once, then shale the magazine back and forth horizontally a few times and then I was good to go.

I also read some other comments that mentioned I didn’t have to take the magazine out every time I reloaded so in this video I test that out to make sure and then one last comment that rather than pulling the charging handle back each time I reloaded I could simply press the bolt release on the right side of the Airgun, and yes this is the case with the Crosman Full Auto rile series.

So here I go a second time in making sure I do it right this time!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.
