Bill C-21 Let's All Make Some Waves

1 Comment

I made a video a little bit ago talking about how Canada’s new Bill C-21 will affect pretty every gun owner in Canada including even airgun owners of BB, Pellet Airsoft and even Paintball Guns. Make sure to watch that video first called Bill C-21 Canada is Going After Your Red Ryder BB Gun.

This video is all about how you can get involved in making some waves by signing two online petitions along with contacting your local Member of Parliament and letting them know your disapproval of Bill C-21 and all that it imposes on law abiding Canadian gun owners.

Probably the most important online petition to sign would be the House of Commons Petition E-3201 Bill C-21 so make sure to sign that one!

The other online e-petition we need to sign is the change.org petition.

And lastly but also super important is to send an email to your local member of Parliament again let them know your disapproval of Bill C-21. I have included a link to the web[age where you can locate your local MP and below that is a template of what you could include in your email to them.

https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Sign/e-3201

Dear (MP),

I am a constituent in your riding. I am writing to you to voice my concerns over the new provisions that were announced under the proposed Bill C-21, and how this will impact myself, my community and many other Canadians.

"Criminal Code 1 (1) The definition replica firearm in subsection 84(1) of the Criminal Code is replaced by the following:

replica firearm means any device that is designed or intended to exactly resemble, or to resemble with near precision, a firearm that is designed or adapted to discharge a shot, bullet or other projectile at a muzzle velocity exceeding 152.4 m per second and at a muzzle energy exceeding 5.7 Joules, and that itself is not a firearm, but does not include any such device that is designed or intended to exactly resemble, or to resemble with near precision, an antique firearm; (réplique)

(2) Section 84 of the Act is amended by adding the following after subsection (3.1): Certain firearms deemed to be prohibited devices

(3.2) For the purposes of sections 99 to 101, 103 to 107 and 117.03, a firearm is deemed to be a prohibited device if

(a) it is proved that the firearm is not designed or adapted to discharge a shot, bullet or other projectile at a muzzle velocity exceeding 152.4 m per second or at a muzzle energy exceeding 5.7 Joules; and (b) the firearm is designed or intended to exactly resemble, or to resemble with near precision, a firearm, other than an antique firearm, that is designed or adapted to discharge a shot, bullet or other projectile at a muzzle velocity exceeding 152.4 m per second and at a muzzle energy exceeding 5.7 Joules."

Bill C-21 Canada is Going After Your Red Ryder BB Gun

8 Comments

No To Bill C-21.jpg

The long and short of it, Bill C-21 is an attack on law abiding Canadian gun owners and goes so far as to include the Daisy Red Ryder BB gun and many other Airguns as a Prohibited Firearm in Canada.

I am not a Lawyer or Bureaucrat so this video is my personal take on how I perceive the new Gun laws and Bill C-21. Please do your own investigation on these new laws and come to your own conclusions.

I don’t ask this often, please like and share this video with as many people as you can in Canada and outside of Canada. This is a new level of attack on Canadian Gun rights and we need to stand up for our gun rights or there will be no more guns in Canada eventually. This could happened in your country and has already happened in many others.

So how did we get here… Back in May of 2020 Trudeau (without going through Parliament) banned some 1500 (what he referred to as) Assault rifles. For the most part but not exclusive to, anything that looks scary with a semi auto action. Many rifles with semi auto actions that did not look scary where not on this banned list. Some bolt action rifles and even shotguns made it to this banned list of guns deemed by Trudeau as dangerous Assault Rifles.

Bill C-21 is now going after handguns in a similar capacity along with any Airgun that looks like a Firearm. 

In this video I am going to focus mainly on the Airgun side of how Bill C-21 effects Canadians so we are talking about BB Guns, Pellet Guns, Airsoft Guns, even Paintball Guns. But do understand if you own a handgun or even a rifle, Bill C-21 is coming after many of those guns as well making them literally impossible to own and use in any capacity other than keeping them in a safe at all times until you die in which it has to be relinquished without payment to the government.

How does Bill C-21 effect Airguns? Previously most Airguns where classified as Firearms but where unregulated so they didn’t require registration or even a Firearms license to sell, buy, own or use. Bill C-21 wants to make any Airgun that looks like a firearm (other than an antique firearm) prohibited. This means you will not be able to import, sell, or buy them in Canada. You will be able to keep your existing Prohibited Airguns but with extensive limitations on how you can keep and use them. Basically no use at all.

No Guns Canada.jpg

For the most part you will want to keep your now prohibited Airguns in a gun safe at home at all times or you risk having them confiscated from you since if you are transporting or using an Airgun, the police have the right to ask you to produce a Prohibited Firearms license which if I am not mistaken has not been made available since 1991, so the vast majority of gun owners especially none license holding Airgun owners do not have a Prohibited Firearms license nor is there any way to obtain such a license. How convenient!

Who does Bill C-21 effect? Firearms in Canada is a Multi Billion dollar industry and Airguns are an ever growing part of that industry. Bill C-21 effects Importers, Wholesalers, Retailers, Gun Ranges, Airsoft Fields, Gun Organizations, Gun Groups and of course every Firearm and Airgun owner in Canada. Bill C-21 wants to eliminate many aspects of the firearms Industry in Canada putting large and small business out of business. Replica Airguns will be gone if Bill C-21 passes in Canada, a business I founded and have been part of for over 15 years affecting many employees, families and of course customers.

How will Bill C-21 by eliminating the vast majority of Airguns in Canada keep Canadians safer and save lives as it proposes? I’m tryin to wrap my head around this one… So please tell me how many Pellet Rifles where used in mass shootings? How many drive by shootings involved Paintball guns? How many suicides have there been with BB pistols? How many police officers have died at the hands of an Airsoft wielding mad person? I’m going out on a limb here to say probably zero. And if any of these Airguns had been used in any of these situations that would have been a good thing because no lives would have been lost perhaps except for the user of the Airgun.

I want to end this video off with an example and an analogy of just exactly how ridiculous Bill C-21 is and how it will do absolutely zero to protect Canadians from criminals.

  • Daisy Red Ryder BB Rifle (1940) Will now be a Prohibited Firearm in Canada

  • Crosman 38T Pellet Revolver (1964) Will now be a Prohibited Firearm in Canada

  • Crosman 357 Pellet Revolver (1983) Will now be a Prohibited Firearm in Canada

  • Air-Ordnance SMG 22 Caliber Full Auto Machine Gun (Modern Airgun) Currently and even after Bill C-21 will be an Unregulated Firearm in Canada with no license or registration required.

Analogy of how Bill C-21 is supposed to Make Canadians Safer:

Bill C-21 is going after law abiding Licensed and Registered gun owners and only allowing them to keep their now Prohibited Guns but not allowed them to use their prohibited guns in any capacity. Prohibited guns must be in a safe at all times unloaded and locked. You are not allowed to transfer them anywhere, you are not allowed to sell, loan or give them to another person, and upon death the prohibited gun/s must be relinquish to the Government. According to Bill C-21 this is apparently going to help stop non license holding non gun registered criminals from committing gun related crimes that for the most part do not obtain their firearms legally.

This is like saying that ICBC (Canadas Vehicle Insurance Agency) has looked into motor vehicle accidents and found that a high majority of vehicle accidents are caused by people that do not have drivers licenses and that do not have registered or insured vehicles, furthermore ICBC has come to the conclusion that vehicles related to these accidents often times are import sedans that have been lowered and tuned. So in order to reduce car accidents ICBC will be focusing on drivers with drivers licenses and registered and license vehicles that fit this description and any other vehicle they deem a possible threat , these registered and licensed vehicle owners will still be allowed to own their vehicles that fit this criteria and have them registered but they will not be allowed to drive their vehicle/s anymore. Their vehicle/s must be kept in the garage at all times and never driven. You can not sell or loan your vehicle/s to anyone and these vehicle/s will not be allowed to be imported, bought or sold anymore in Canada. Once you die your vehicle/s are relinquished by the Government without payment no matter what their assessed value.

Crosman AK1 - G&G SMC9 - ICS CXP APE Update Preview Unboxing Video

No Comments

I am super excite to showcase three awesome rifles in this Update Preview Unboxing Video. Two of which are Airsoft and one is a Steel BB shooter, all of which are semi and full auto selectable. In this video I do a bit of an unboxing and preview of each Rifle not going into too much detail as I want to leave most of the information for my Table Top and Filed Test Videos. The main purpose of this video is to let everyone know we have these Rifles in our Canada Replica Airguns Store now for sale.

I may as well talk about them in the order they appear in my video so lets start with the ICS CXP APE AEG Airsoft Rifle. The ICS CXP APE AEG Airsoft Rifle is a mostly metal Electric Airsoft Rifle with realistic electronic blowback operation along with a CNC machined aluminum upper and lower receiver. It comes with a hi-cap 300 round magazine and a Ver 2 Full Metal ICS Split Type Gearbox. The ICS CXP APE AEG Airsoft Rifle weighs in at just under 3kg.

Next I showcase the G&G SMC9 GBB Airsoft Carbine, a unique product that converts the G&G GTP9 pistol into a a semi and full auto Carbine and includes a 50 round extended magazine, there is an even higher capacity drum magazine made for this product! You will find a fold out stock along with a CNC Machined MLOK Rail for additional mounting options.

Last but perhaps one that I have been the most eagerly anticipating is the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback BB Rifle a twin CO2 Blowback 4.5mm Semi and Full auto AK style BB Rifle, finally a decent AK BB Rifle! The Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback BB Rifle has a claimed fps of 430 and shoots 1400 rounds per minute in full auto, very similar to the Crosman DPMS series of AR styled CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifles. The Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback BB Rifle comes with a 25 round magazine and swing out rear adjustable stock.

Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416 V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the Velocity and Accuracy of the Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416 V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle by first placing 5 rounds through my Chronograph and recording the feet per second for each shot and then averaging them out. For the second portion of my Indoor Shooting Performance Test I setup a paper target 30 feet down range followed by shoot 10 rounds back to back to see what the spread or grouping size is. I followed this up with a nice long full auto burst just for fun to see if the grouping still remains nice and tight.

For my Velocity test I used .25 grain Plastic Airsoft BB’s rather than the normally tested .20 in the claimed fps of over 366 fps so I was expecting to get a little bit lower velocity results. I did manage to average right around 304 fps with all shots fairly consistently with the slowest being 302 fps and the fastest hitting 305 fps.

I then setup my brand new paper target and using a rested and seated shooting position from 30 feet back I placed my first 10 rounds into the target. The Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416 V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle did shoot a little bit low close to the bottom of the rings but not as low as when I tested the Heckler & Koch HK416C version, I am sure some hop-up adjustment will get this closer to the mark. I did mange to get a really tight 10 round grouping of close to half an inch with most of the BB’s hitting one o top of the other I would ahed to say this is the best 30 foot accuracy results I have gotten from any Airsoft rifle to date! Full auto was as predicted, lots of fun with a nice hole in the paper/cardboard leaving about a 2 inch opening.

The Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416 V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle performed really well for me and as already mentioned is crazy accurate. It had a slightly lower fps than the Heckler & Koch HK416C version which was a bit of a surprise but at 304 fps using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s this is about perfect for close quarters shooting adn even out to medium distances. Make sure not checkout all of our Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch over in the Replica Airguns Canada Online Store.

Make sure to also checkout my Table Top Review for the Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416 V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle where I talk about specifications and features and show it off nice and close.

Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle Field Test Review

1 Comment

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the Velocity and Accuracy of the Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle by first placing 5 rounds through my Chronograph and recording the feet per second of each shot then averaging them out. For the second portion of my Indoor Shooting Performance Test I setup a paper target 30 feet away and then shoot 10 rounds back to back to see what the spread or grouping size is. I follow this up with a full auto burst just for fun to see if the grouping still remains nice and tight.

For my Velocity test I used .25 grain Plastic Airsoft BB’s rather than the .20 in the claimed fps over 366 fps so I was expecting to get a little bit slower results. I did manage to average right around 325.5 fps with all shots consistently hitting either 325 or 326 fps so super consistent.

I then setup my brand new paper target and using a rested and seated shooting position from 30 feet back I placed my first 10 rounds into the target. This is when I discovered the Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle liked to shoot fairly low even when using the raised elevation option on the rear sight. Because of this I had to aim a little bit higher on the paper target to place shoots more centered. Once I figure out my aim point I did mange to get a fairly tight 10 round grouping of close to an inch with a couple of stagers pushing it out to 2 inches. Full auto was as predicted, lots of fun with a nice hole in the paper/cardboard leaving about a 3.5 inch opening.

The Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle performed well for me once I figured out that it liked to shoot rather low. I would suggest placing a bit of a spacer or riser under the rear sight to bring up the barrel at least for closer in shots where hop-up may not ark the Airsoft BB enough at that point. Other than that the Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle had super consistent performance in terms of both FPS and accuracy.

Realism: The Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle is a 1 to 1 scale fully licensed replica of the real steel HK 416 compact CQB styled rifles but in an even more compact design I believe specifically only found in Airsoft versions as I was not able to find the exact same model on the H&K Website.

Comments:

The Umarex VFC H&K AEG Airsoft product line is going to be on the higher end of the price spectrum for sure but you are getting a really quality product here fully H&K licensed. The Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle is perhaps one of my favorites as I like more simplistic and minimalist styles of guns and this one for sure fits into that category. Even though it is small in nature it is super solid and heavier then it looks for sure when you pick it up with all the metal parts making up its build quality. I look forward to seeing how well the Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle performs in my upcoming Field Test Shooting Video.

In this video I show you four Premium AEG Airsoft Rifles made by VFC and distributed and H&K Licensed by Umarex. This is not a detailed review but rather I focus on the basic specification and show my reaction as I take my first look at all four Umarex H&K AEG Airsoft Rifles. I do show off some close up photos so you can get an idea on the finish and what some of the components look like.

Specna Arms RRA SA-C10 Core and E10 Edge Field Test Review

No Comments

For this Field Test Shooting Video I put the Specna Arms RRA SA-C10 Core and Specna Arms RRA SA-E10 Edge head to head to see just how they will compare in terms of FPS and Accuracy at least out to 30 feet. If you want to know more about each of these AEG Specna Arms Airsoft Rifles then checkout my Table Top Review where I show them up nice and close and also talk about their specifications and how they both compare to each other.

For my Chronograph test, I decided to go with .25 gram Airsoft BB’s, a little bit heavier than what was used for the claimed FPS of around 380 using the M120 spring which by the way is preinstalled in these guns for import into Canada. Both the Specna Arms RRA SA-C10 Core and E10 Edge shot pretty similar with the C10 Core averaging right around 300 FPS and the E10 Edge shooting a little bit faster with 318 FPS. Throw some lighter .20 gram Airsoft BB’s into the mix and these numbers would go up for sure. I was using the same 11.1 volt Li-Po battery for all of my testing in this video.

Next I placed a fresh paper target 30 feet downrange and placed 10 semi auto rounds into it using a seated and rested shooting position. Both Specna Arms AEG Airsoft Rifles shot about a 1 inch grouping. I did find with both of these Specna Arms rifles that when using the peep sight they shot too low and when using the top notch sight they shot too high at least at this distance. Of course the sights are fully adjustable so this can easily be taken care of and you can adjust the hop-up for even more elevation considerations. After my 10 shot semi auto test I placed both Specna Arms Airsoft rifles in Full Auto and let the paper have it! As expected the groupings did spread out a little bit but not all that much, perhaps opening up to around 3-4 inches.

After testing both the Specna Arms RRA SA-C10 Core and E10 Edge AEG Airsoft Rifles side by side you really can’t go wrong with either version as they performed very similarly on the Chronograph and on Target. If you can afford to pay the little bit more than I would go with an Edge Series Specna Arms product since you do get a lot of extras for the little bit more you pay. Well worth it!

Specna Arms RRA SA-C10 Core and E10 Edge Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: AEG Airsoft Rifles
Manufacturer: Specna Arms.
Model: RRA SA-C10 / RRA SA-E10
Materials: Fiberglass reenforced plastic and metal/aluminum.
Weight: C10 4.9 pounds ( 2.2 kg) - E10 5.1 pounds (2.3 kg).
Total Length: 21.7 - 25.2 inches (550 - 640mm).
Barrel: 6.7 inch (170mm) inner 6.03mm tight bore barrel non rifled.
Propulsion: AEG.
Action: Single action semi & full auto.
Ammunition Type: .6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s.
Ammunition Capacity: Mid cap 120 round magazines.
FPS: 375 - 390 fps with installed spring, included M90 spring will be lower fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on both of the Specna Arms RRA SA-C10 Core and E10 Edge AEG Airsoft Rifles is similar to a light single action trigger as they are essentially an electrical on off switch. There is a little bit of take up with virtually no extra friction to let you know when the release is going to be, with a bit of use you will figure out exactly when the trigger will release the action.

Accuracy: At this time I have not made my Field Test Shooting Video or even shot the Specna Arms RRA SA-C10 Core and E10 Edge AEG Airsoft Rifles, but plan to very soon. They are next on my list for Filed Test Shooting Videos so stay posted for that video coming out soon. I do expect them to perform well and will be shooting both of these models side by side to see if there is any noticeable difference between the lower cost Core versus the slightly more premium Edge Specna Arms versions.

Build Quality: One thing I can say is no matter which version of the Specna Arms AEG Air Rifles you deicide to go with (either a Core or Edge Series), you are getting extremely good value for your money and neither one is going to have any low quality parts in it. Even the lower cost Core Series will have fiber glass reenforced plastic and metal parts along with a metal gearbox and virtually almost the same build as the more premium and slightly higher priced Edge Series. You will get upgrades in the Edge Series such as a an aluminum receiver and buffer tube, a GATE X-ASR Mosfet, the New Orion Gearbox, deep laser engraved licensing and an additional magazine. All of this for the little bit more you pay for an Edge series Specna Arms AEG Airsoft rifle.

Realism: The Specna Arms RRA SA-C10 Core and E10 Edge AEG Airsoft Rifles are based on the AR15 or M16 platform of course in a very modern and PDW styled look. They look and feel the part for sure with lots of working parts including the safety, selector switch, charging handle, dust cover, adjustable rear stock, pop-up front and rear sights as you would expect. Most of the hardware should be interchangeable with a real steel AR if you want to personalize the look of your Specna Arms Rifle.

Pros:

  • Super affordable yet very high quality product for what you pay.

  • Two options to consider, both with good price points and value.

  • Quality components throughout both the Core and Edge series.

  • Rock River Arms Licensed with hologram on receiver.

  • ESA™ quick spring change system makes spring changes quick and easy.

  • Comes with two springs for potential indoor and outdoor usage.

  • Plastic parts are fiberglass reenforced making them very durable.

  • Quick release fully adjustable pop-up sights.

  • No orange tips on our Canada Store versions.

  • Lots of rial mounting options even on such short PDW styled AR’s.

  • Metal gearboxes with metal gears and mostly all metal parts inside.

  • Easy access to motor for any possible trouble shooting you may need to do.

Cons:

  • Popup sights are mostly plastic..

  • Need to hold back charging handle to access the hop-up wheel.

Value for your money is what comes to mind when I think about the entire Specna Ams AEG Airsoft Riffle product line. And this goes for not only the lower priced Core Series but also the premium Edge Series. Both version are built supper tuff with quality components throughout. You are just getting upgrades you are probably going to do at some point in time with the Edge Series and of course more metal components when you spend about $100 more for a similar Edge version. I figure if you can muster up the extra cash then go with an Edge Specna Arms AEG Airsoft Rifle, that said, any of the Core models will be money well spent.

Make sure not also watch my previous Specna Arms YouTube Video where I introduce the product line, show you around several models and talk about the key differences between the Core and Edge versions.

ASG SHOT Show 2020 Las Vegas Interview

No Comments

ASG+Logo+White.jpg

Unfortunately the microphone system I was using for some reason did not record the Lapel Microphones we where record the audio with for this ASG SHOT Show 2020 Interview Video. The Camera we where recording video with did record audio but as there is so much back ground noise going on at large show like this, the audio is far from good. That all said try do you your best to listen to what we are discussing. There are sections where the audio is fairly distinguishable and sections in the video that are not due the proximity of the camera.

Bob from ASG and I go over serval products for ASG at SHOT Show 2020 this year. We first take a look at the new ASG Shadow 2 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. One interesting fact about the new ASG Shadow 2 is that it has an internal Hop-up system that help BB’s travel further out for longer range shooting. The ASG Shadow 2 also has a fully adjustable rear sight making this Blowback CO2 BB Airgun a potentially pretty decent target pistol.

Another new product from ASG we focused on is the Airsoft ASG B&T Universal Service Weapon designed for first responder situations. The ASG B&T USW has an extended rear frame allowing for a non-recipricating red dot sight placement. The ASG B&T Universal Service Weapon has a built in folding stock and you can trick it out with all kinds of add ons to make it your own.

Near the end of the video we took a look at some new ICS Airsoft offerings from ASG.

Sig Sauer SHOT Show 2020 Las Vegas Interview

No Comments

This year Sig Sauer was showcasing their Airsoft Pistols with a new line called the Proforce series geared towards high end training. Sig has also included new Reflex Red Dot Sights that can be ordered already on the gun or as an add on accessory. The Proforce Pistol line includes both the M17 and M18 series Sig Sauer pistols.

Last year at SHOT Show 2019 Sig had introduced their Virtus .22 Caliber PCP Semi Auto Rifle but it was not ready at that time. Well now the Sig Sauer Virtus is ready to ship and yours truly will be getting one of these bad boys for review! Since the .22 caliber PCP Sig Sauer Virtus shoots around 700 fps with a 12 foot pound energy level you will need a PAL firearms license if you live in Canada but the Sig Sauer Virtus is a considered a “long gun” so no registration will be required in Canada.

Watch my Sig Sauer SHOT Show 2020 Las Vegas Interview for more info and cool stuff presented by Stephanie from Sig Sauer.

KWA Ronin TK.45 Tekken AEG 2.5 & 3 Airsoft Rifle Field Test Review

1 Comment

Make sure to watch my Preview Vimeo Video for the KWA Ronin TK.45 Tekken AEG 2.5 & 3 Airsoft Rifles where I go over some of the specifications and also end off the video with my SHOT Show KWA Interview where Johnathan shows us around the KWA Ronin TK.45 Tekken AEG 2.5 & 3 Airsoft Rifles.

In this Field Test Shooting Review I test both the KWA Ronin TK.45 Tekken AEG 2.5 & 3 Airsoft Rifles out putting some rounds through my Chronograph to see what the actual fps is. I also put some rounds down range to see how the accuracy is for both of these KWA AEG Airsoft Rifles is.

Starting with my Chronograph test, I was using heavier than normal .32 gram Airsoft BB’s to see if this would help out a bit with the accuracy but keep in mind it will slow the fps down a bit compared to using standard .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. My results for both AIrsoft guns where pretty close with the KWA Ronin TK.45 Tekken AEG 2.5 Airsoft Rifle shooting slightly faster at around 324 fps versus the KWA Ronin TK.45 Tekken AEG 3 Airsoft Rifle coming in with a velocity of 314 fps. The KWA Ronin TK.45 Tekken AEG 2.5 Airsoft Rifle can be adjusted for 320-380 fps by accessing a screw situated at the end of the buffer tube. The KWA Ronin TK.45 Tekken AEG 3 Airsoft Rifle does not have this feature since it has its recoil system setup inside the buffer tube. You can swap out springs if you want to adjust your fps on the TK.45 3 Airsoft Rifle.

Moving on to the accuracy test. I know 30 feet is not really a great range for testing out an AEG Airsoft rifle but it does give us an idea of how tight it will shoot at this range and then all we need to do is expand that a bit as we get further out. But a tight group at 30 feet should mean a decent group even when shooting further away.

I do have to say I was having some difficulty with the KWA Ronin TK.45 Tekken AEG 3 Airsoft Rifle using the same ammo in both guns so this should not be a problem if it works well in one but not the other? That said I was getting misfeeds followed by double shots using the .32 gram Airsoft BB’s in the TK.45 3 Airsoft Rifle. Even in full auto it seemed to misfeeds for a bit but then cleared up at the end. Maybe a different ammo choice or some break in time is required? That said both Airsoft guns seemed to shoot low so perhaps a hop-up adjustment is in order. The KWA Ronin TK.45 Tekken AEG 2.5 Airsoft Rifle seemed to shoot the lowest even requiring me to retest it since my first go around shot below the range of the camera. When I sighted in at the top of the target the second time I did get a very tight 1 inch grouping just below the bullseye. In full auto both guns punched nice 2-3 inch holes through the paper targets.

Other than the strange miss feeding issue I had with the KWA Ronin TK.45 Tekken AEG 3 Airsoft Rifle, I found them to be very nice rifles. The simulated blowback recoil action felt nice on the shoulder so personally I would go for the KWA Ronin TK.45 Tekken AEG 3 Airsoft Rifle, I would just need to workout the miss feeding issue for sure. Maybe even a shorter version of the KWA Ronin TK.45 Tekken AEG 3.0 Airsoft Rifle would be nice? You can purchase one of these KWA Airsoft Rifles over in our Canada Replica Airguns store!

Is an Airgun Good for Self Defense Revisit

No Comments

A while back I made a Vimeo Video named” Is an Airgun Good for Self Defense?” It’s been pretty popular on YouTube getting over 2 million video views and I get a lot fo feedback from my viewers with varying opinions on this issue. I like constrictive feedback and enjoy hearing what my YouTube viewers have to say as long as everyone is being civil about it and not just trying to start an argument.

In my first video on this subject I pretty much go on the record saying I don’t think Airguns are a good choice for self defense and there are for sure way better alternatives but many of you disagreed with me and so I decided to make this update or revisit video and go over some of the top pushback comments I get and see if they have some merit to them.

Here are the top 4 pushback comments I get the most often:

  • When the bad guy sees the airgun they are going to run away thinking it’s a real gun.

  • Just shoot the bad guy in the eyes / face.

  • Use an HPA large caliber rifle.

  • Use a full auto high capacity Airgun.

Watch my “Is an Airgun Good for Self Defense Revisit” Vimeo video to see how I address these pushback comments.

Being that KWA is a new product in our Replica Airguns Online Stores, I wanted to go over as much of the KWA product line as possible and really not only learn for myself but be able to share all of this information with everyone. I have to thank Jonathan for spending so much of his time really diving in deep to what KWA has to offer.

There really is an absolute ton of info in this video that in no way I can put into words so you’re going to have to watch this KWA SHOT Show Interview from start to finish. So go get yourself a snack and something to drink, cause it’s going to be a long one!

ASG SHOT Show 2019 Interview

No Comments

This year at SHOW Show 2019 Bob from ASG had a lot to show me so make sure to watch the full Interview Video for all the details and information.

Bob and I first go over a new ASG CZ Airsoft Pistol called the Shadow 2 kind of like a modernized SP-01 Shadow. The ASG CZ Shadow 2 is a competition stile pistol with adjustable sights and trigger and will come in both CO2 and Green Gas magazine options.

Next up Bob showed me the CZ75 SP01 ACCU Shadow with some special edition features like: Ergonomic anodized aluminum grips with grip tape, match style high sights, oversized slide release and ambidextrous safety and a tunable anodized aluminum trigger.

ASG being the exclusive partner with ICS had some new ICS Pistols to show us. First up was the Airsoft ICS XPD, a compact Gas Blowback System that will come with shorter compact magazines and extended magazines that will hold more green gas. Both Gas magazines will feature a new valve system called the Revo system.

If you like the feel of a 1911 but perhaps want something a bit more modern then checkout the New ASG Korth PRS Airsoft Pistol, you can even put real 1911 grips on it!

Not new to ASG this year is the CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1 but ASG has enhanced this Airsoft rifle by working with a designer to adding an M-Lok Handguard, Magwell Grip and Fore Grip that will be a three part system you can customize.

Last Bob showed me around the CQR Hera Arms Airsoft Rifle that is a collaboration of ASG, Hara Arms, ICS. It will come in standard Mosfet and Triple-S (Smart Shooting System).

Looking forward to getting my hands-on some of these new ASG

American Airsoft Factory SHOT Show 2019 Interview

No Comments

I stumbled on what I thought was one of the most interesting new Airsoft products at SHOT Show this year. A company by the name of American Airsoft Factory has made an AR styled Airsoft Rifle that is completed Battery/Electric operated but acts and feels like a Gas Blowback System. They use a computerized fire control system to operate a mechanical Open Bolt with full Blowback operation. The American Airsoft Factory AR system will auto decide when the your standard Hi-cap or Mid-cap AEG magazine is empty and the bolt will lock back ready to swap out a full magazine, just press the bolt release and you’re ready to engage your target!

The American Airsoft Factory product will not be cheap but it is incredibly high end and features real steel compatibility. I see this being of interest to military and police organizations along with serious Airsofters that are looking for the ultimate Airsoft Rifle.

So now I just need to get my hands on an American Airsoft Factory rifle so I can test it out and make a review! Maybe we can even add them to our Online Replica Airguns Stores?

Sig Sauer SHOT Show 2019 Interview

2 Comments

Here we go, the first SHOT Show Interview for 2019 and why not kick things off with Sig Sauer. After all Sig Sauer has been super dedicated to bringing new Airgun designs to the airgun community year after year and this year at SHOT Show was no exception!

My favorite item from Sig Sauer this year at SHOT Show was the Sig Sauer P365 ASP, as the name suggests it is based on their 9mm firing real steel Sig Sauer P365 and somehow similar to how they fit 10 rounds of 9mm ammo into such a compact magazine and gun, the BB version also manages to jam a 12 gram CO2 cartridge into a very tiny drop out metal magazine! Really looking forward to getting my hands on this one!

Sig Sauer launched several Airsoft guns, an AEG Airsoft Rifle called the MCX Virtus and two GBB Airsoft Pistols, the M17 and P226. All of them fully licensed and also should be Canada import ready.

Last up but something that we have all been waiting for in an ASP Pellet firing rifle, the Virtus 22 Caliber PCP Rifle. Well the name says it all. It’s basically an MCX Pellet Rifle but now in 22 caliber and with a PCP tank built into the rear stock. In Canada you will need a PAL to buy one but import into Canada should not be a problem for license holders since the 22 Virtus PCP will quality as a long gun.
