In this Vimeo video I do a Field Test of the Cybergun GSG 92 CO2 BB Gun. I take three sets of five shots on a target at that is twenty five feet away. Each set of five shots are taken from different camera views. The first camera view is in a standard zoomed out view, then I zoom in on the gun with some slow motion shots mixed in, after that I shoot the last 5 shots with the camera on the target. Lastly I shoot a fifteen round burst in full auto mode with an on-target camera view.

The Cybergun GSG 92 shot close to a 2.5 inch group at twenty five feet in the standing position and without any kind of rest. Not too bad for a blowback BB gun!

I received these Blank Shooters at different times. The Kimar Lady K (Walther PPK Replica), I acquired before the Canadian Blank Replica ban and the Zoraki Mod.914 I purchase just recently from Vinzer Sports. I don't often get the chance to shoot these guns because they are just so darn loud! I even though I live on a farm, I still get nervous shooting off a couple rounds in fear that the cops might show up... 

Some of the Blank Gun specs:

• The Zoraki Mod.914 shoots 9mm P.A.K. blank ammunition

• The Zoraki Mod.914 has a 14 round magazine

• The Zoraki Mod.914 can shoot in either semi auto or full auto modes

• The Zoraki Mod.914 vents from the front of the barrel

• The Zoraki Mod.914 is NOT considered a replica because it does not closely resemble any other guns

• The Kimar Lady K shoots 8mm P.A.K. blank ammunition

• The Kimar Lady K has a 6 round magazine

• The Kimar Lady K can shoot in semi auto mode only

• The Kimar Lady K vents from the top of the barrel

• The Kimar Lady K IS considered a replica and therefore is prohibited in Canada

Here is a quick summary of these Blank Guns…

The construction of these Blank Guns is very different, the Zoraki Mod.914 is made with standards close to a real firearm and looks and feels very much like a real gun. The Kimar Lady K is not nearly as refined and lacks the fit and finish but still functions very well as a blank shooter.

The Zoraki Mod.914 has a double stack magazine that holds a staggering 14 rounds but this does make the handle a bit on the thick side. The Kimar Lady K has a single stack magazine that only holds 6 rounds but this makes the handle much thinner and easier to tuck away.

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

Both guns vent out of the barrel but only the Zoraki Mod.914 vents out of the front making it more realistic when shooting. The Kimar Lady K vents out of the top of the barrel which takes away from the realism and also makes the Blank Gun much louder to shoot as the sound tends to travel back towards the shooter.

The Zoraki Mod.914 can shoot in semi auto and full auto modes while the Kimar Lady K is a semi auto only shooter. That said, I don't think I'll be shooting in full auto mode too often as blank ammunition is actually more expensive than regular 9mm ammo!

If you live in Canada you really don't have too many option available, pretty much all I could find for blank shooters are the Zoraki Mod.914 and Mod.925 as both of these Blank Shooter are not considered replicas. In the US there are definitely way more options available if you're looking for a blank gun, the only downside to US blank guns is that they all have to vent from the top of the barrel.

I was kinda right about why the Zoraki Blank Guns are allowed in Canada. It's mainly because they do not closely resemble any existing model of Firearm making it a Non-Replica and a Non-Firearm. The issue with most blank shooters is that they are Replicas of existing guns. Here is the official statement I got from Vinzer Sports located in Chateauguay, Quebec Canada pertaining to what is a Firearm.

Q. What is considered to be a firearm for purposes of the Firearms Act and for offences related to the Firearms Act in the Criminal Code? 

As set out in the Firearms Act, "firearm" means: 

• A barreled weapon from which any shot, bullet or other projectile can be discharged and that is capable of causing serious bodily injury or death to a person, and includes.
• Any frame or receiver of such a barreled weapon, as well as:
• Anything that can be adapted for use as a firearm.

Following are some weapons and devices that meet the definition of a firearm but that are deemed not to be firearms for purposes of the Firearms Act and related offences in the Criminal Code. Some of these items are exempted from the definition only if they were designed exclusively for a specific purpose and are intended to be used exclusively for that purpose by the person who possesses it. However, all of the items listed below are considered to be firearms if used in a criminal or negligent manner. 

• Antique firearms; 
• Devices designed exclusively for signaling, for notifying of distress, for firing blank cartridges, or for firing stud cartridges, explosive-driven rivets, or other industrial projectiles.

 I hope this helps anyone else who is interested in legally purchasing and owning a Blank Gun in Canada.

I know my website mainly covers Replica Airguns, but I also have a few non-replic airguns listed on the site and may plan to include others down the road. So the new rule is that if it's an Air Gun or if it is a Replica of a gun then I just might put some information about it here on the site. But for the most part I'm going to stick with "Replica Airguns".

One gun I have not mentioned is a 8mm Blank Replica gun that I own. I don't want to get into details about Canadian law, but in a nutshell we can own them but we can not buy or sell them if they fall into the classification of being a "Replica" and not being able to "cause bodily harm".

The reason we can get Replica Airguns in Canada is because Airguns have projectiles that can cause bodily harm, classifying them as a firearm but because most air guns do not shoot faster than 500 FPS, they fall into a grey area where you do not need a firearms license to purchase or own them. In theory they are classified as a firearm because they can cause bodily harm and shoot stuff out of the barrel. I know it's nuts!

Back to my point! I am going to do a side by side review of one of my Blank Replica guns whcih is a Lady K 8MM Starter Pistol or some would refer to as a Blank gun.

And the other gun which I don't have yet but should show up shortly is a Zoraki 914 Semi/Full Auto Blank Pistol in 9mm PAK. I'm not sure why this gun is available in Canada for purchase, but it may be because it can also be used as a flare gun or perhaps that it's not designed after an actual gun like in the case of the Lady K looking very much like a Walther PPK. I hope to know more about this later.

The timing is good for these reviews as Halloween is coming up soon and I can get away with making a bunch of noise. Even though I live in a farm area, these guns are as loud as a real gun and shooting a full auto blank gun might be alarming for my neighbors any other time of the year :)

Check back soon for more on these guns...

• CYBERGUN GSG 92 BB GUN FULL AUTO MODIFICATION

• CYBERGUN GSG 92 ON ITS WAY!

• CYBERGUN GSG 92 BB GUN FIELD TEST

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Cybergun.

Model: GSG 92.

Materials: 99% all metal build.

Weight: 2.4 pounds.

Barrel: 4.1 inches, brass, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x1.

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

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 22 rounds

FPS: 330

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is what you would expect from a real automatic pistol, in single action mode it is very light and short.

Accuracy: Very good, I was surprised!

Build Quality: Excellent, with almost all metal construction, good weight and craftsmanship.

Realism: This is as close as you can come to the look, weight, feel, and action of a Beretta 92FS styled gun, the actual gun it most closely represents is the Taurus Model 92B

Purchase it From: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• Extremely realistic airgun replica of a Beretta 92FS styled gun.

• All metal construction.

• Would make an excellent training gun as it functions just like the real Beretta automatic handgun.

• Blowback action is very firm adding to the realism of shooting this weapon.

• Field strips just like a real Beretta 92FS.

• Can be easily moded to fire in either Semi Auto or Full Auto by moving the safety to the all-the-way down position.

Cons:

• It goes through CO2 very fast.

• When the magazine releases, it simply drops out, no spring to it.

• No adjustable sights.

• Safety lever and mag release are plastic. (Not a deal breaker).

Comments:

This BB air pistol is styled after many modern blowback airsoft pistols, this means it functions very similarly to the real steel. It is a very hefty gun made almost entirely from metal and has a very snappy blowback action which adds to it's shooting realism. Even the magazine looks and feels like a real 9mm magazine with similar weight and dimensions. The Cybergun GSG 92 shoots very accurately for a BB airgun and has fairly decent power considering it's blowback function, this does result in heavy usage of CO2. I was able to get about 3 magazines out of a CO2 cartridge when in Semi Auto mode. When I shot in Full Auto mode I was lucky to get 2 magazines out of a CO2 cartridge. This is a must have replica airgun for many reasons; price, realism, all metal design, performance and also the fact that it's easily moded to select fire Full Auto.

• UMAREX H.P.P AND SA177 COMPARISON/REVIEW

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Umarex.

Model: HPP.

Materials: Mostly all metal construction.

Weight: 1.8 pounds.

Barrel: 3.6 inches, steel, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x1.

Action: Semi auto blowback, double action.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 15 rounds

FPS: 410

Trigger Pull: This gun has a medium trigger pull, the first 3/4 of the trigger pull actuates the hammer with a noticeable click when the hammer is all the way back and ready to fire. The last part of the trigger pull is much lighter. With practice you will be able to engage the hammer and then fire the gun in a kind of simulated single action mode.

Accuracy: Medium to good.

Build Quality: In its price range this air gun offers good build quality and value, it feels solid and well built and has a very hefty feel for a compact size gun. I would have liked to have seen the magazine made from metal rather than plastic.

Realism: This gun is loosely styled after a Sig Sauer 226-228. It is lacking a cut-out ejection port that would have added greatly to its realism. The grips are also molded into the handle giveing the gun durability but not authenticity. I would have also liked to see a heftier magazine as it's made out of plastic and feels a bit cheap compared to the rest of the gun. I do like the fact that the barrel tip has a large diameter opening making the gun look more like the larger caliber weapon it is styled after. 

Purchased this gun from: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• Well priced for what you get.

• Mostly all metal construction (Except for the magazine).

• The gun feels really good in the hand and shoots well with a very responsive kick.

• Good powerful and accuracy for a blowback BB gun.

• Much better trigger pull/feel than the SA177.

• Has good power to CO2 usage ratio, can get around 100 shots per CO2 cartridge.

• Picatinny rail for accessories like Laser sights and tactical lights.

Cons:

• Again with the plastic magazine but it is a con after all!

• Ejection Port should have been cut out to make the gun look more realistic.

• I would have like to have seen actual rubber grips rather than the moulded in metal ones.

Comments:

I found this Umarex Blowback BB gun to be a really accurate, responsive and enjoyable gun to shoot. It is very compact yet has nice heft and the blowback action is snappy giving you the feeling of a real automatic weapon. The fact that this gun is so inexpensive and yet delivers great power and CO2 efficiency makes it not only affordable to buy but also shoot on a daily basis.

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Umarex.

Model:SA177.

Materials: Metal Slide and Polymer Frame.

Weight: 1.5 pounds.

Barrel: 4.1 inches, steel, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x1.

Action: Semi auto blowback, double action.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 19 rounds

FPS: 400

The last part of the trigger pull is much lighter. With practice you will be able to engage the hammer and then fire the gun in a kind of simulated single action mode.

Accuracy: Medium.

Build Quality: In its price range this air gun offers good build quality and value, it feels solid and well built, even the magazine is metal.

Realism: Even though this gun is not an actual licensed copy of a Glock 17C, it does resemble one very closely. There is good detail with a cut-out ejection port, concealed CO2 cartridge, trigger safety, and realistic larger barrel opening, making this Replica Airgun look very close to the genuine Glock.

Purchased this gun from: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• Well priced for what you get.

• Metal and Polymer construction like the real Glock.

• Would make an excellent training gun as it functions and looks much like the real Glock handgun.

• Good realism: Cut out slide ejection port, large barrel opening, concealed CO2 with flush magazine, safety on trigger.

• Nice fiber optic sights.

• Has good power to CO2 usage ratio, can get around 100 shots per CO2 cartridge.

• Picatinny rail for accessories like Laser sights and tactical lights.

Cons:

• The trigger pull is a bit heavy making accuracy somewhat hard at first, once you get used to the break point, it gets easier to shoot.

• The slide spring is very light so the snap back is slow, it's not noticeable when you are shooting the airgun but more so when you release the slide with the slide release.

Comments:

I really like this Umarex air gun mostly because they put a lot of attention into the detail making this Glock Replica Blowback BB Airgun a treat to own and shoot. It's priced right so just about anyone can own one and once you get used to the trigger break point it makes for a decently accurate action plinker.

This video is not really a review but rather an instructional video on how to modify a Cybergun GSG 92 Blowback BB Airgun to shoot not only in single shot (Semi Auto), but to also have the ability to shoot in Full Auto mode with the flick of the safety to the down position. (Warning - This Mod will most certainly void your warranty!)

This Modifications of the Cybergun GSG 92 is a rather simple operation, all that is needed is to remove the slide and take off the right side grip, then remove a small internal piece and file it down slightly on one end. Put everything back together and away you go. Shoot in Semi Auto or Full Auto whenever you like!

I'll be doing a Review and Field Test on it shortly...

Type: BB air rifle.

Manufacturer: Umarex.

Model:H&K MP5K PDW

Materials: Ppolymer shell, metal inner frame, metal trigger, metal cocking handle, metal but-plate.

Weight: 2.4 pounds.

Barrel: 9.75 inches, metal, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x1.

Action: Semi auto blowback.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 40 rounds

FPS: 400

Trigger Pull: Long and hard (trigger actuates the barrel forward allowing a BB to load and then snapping back to activate the CO2 release).

Accuracy: Medium to good.

Build Quality: Lots of plastic but it does not feel cheap, the internal mechanical parts and frame appear to be made of out of metals.

Realism: Even though there is a lot of plastic this is a 1 to 1 scale replica with full H&K licensing. It is a very accurate replica of the original.

Available From: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• Being able to own an H&K MP5 for just over $100.

• High capacity 40 round magazine.

• Blowback action gives some feedback.

• Very nice folding stock.

Cons:

• Does not come with picatinny rail adapter for Red Dot or scope accessory.

• Blowback does not operate action.

• Mainly plastic.

• CO2 hard to get to.

Comments:

The Umarex H&K MP5K PDW 4.5mm BB Replica is a very realistic BB Repeater. It's fun to shoot and seems to have an endless magazine. The Blowback does give it s little bit of recoil when you have a fresh CO2, just don't expect too much.

The outer shell of the gun is mainly made out of plastic but for about $125 you really can't expect an all metal version.

If you're looking for a true Tactical styled BB gun, this would make an excellent choice.

Weight: 2.8 pounds.
Barrel: 7.5 inches, metal, non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x2.
Action: Semi auto, fully auto - 6 round burst, blowback.
Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.
Ammunition Capacity: 300 in internal hopper, 30 in spring fed magazine (hopper gravity feeds magazine when spring retracted).
FPS: 430.
Trigger Pull: Very light.
Accuracy: Excellent in both single shot and 6 round burst mode!
Build Quality: This airgun is made in Japan and even though the external shell is made out of polymer, it still has a very solid feel.
Realism: This gun is not a direct replica but it does share similarities to the HK MP7A1 (4.6x30mm).
Purchased this gun from: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• Excellent value for the money.
• Very accurate in both single and 6 round burst modes.
• Super fun to shoot.
• High rate of fire in full auto mode.
• Picatinny rails on the top and bottom for accessories.
• High FPS for a blowback gun.

Cons:

• Mainly polymer shell.
• Uses lots of CO2 (to be expected)
• No but-stock or way to add a but-stock.
• No adjustable sites. (a Red Dot scope is perfect for this airgun)
  

Comments:
The gun is plastic based but seems to be well built and has some weight to it. The design and functionality is well thought out and for the price of under $100 you can't rally ask for much more.

The rate of fire is fairly fast and there is only a small amount of blowback feel probably due to the weight of the gun. The Steel Storm is surprisingly loud, so shooting in a residential neighborhood may not be the best place to empty the two CO2 cartridges! I was able to get around 200 rounds from the dual CO2 cartridges, most of which were shot in full auto 6 round burst mode.

It would have been nice to have the BBs in the pull out magazine but the gravity fed hopper makes more sense feeding into the internal lower 30 round spring fed magazine.

The Umarex Steel Storm Full Auto CO2 BB Gun is very fun to shoot and is well worth the small amount of cost. So go get one!
