Here's a quick Vimeo video of the Zoraki Mod. 925 P.A.K. Blank pistol firing off some blank rounds. First I shoot two rounds off in semi-auto mode and then switch the Zoraki 925 over to full-auto and fire off the last 10. The Magazine I used is capable of holding 26 rounds but hey, that would have been about the equivalent in cost to 4 Starbucks Mochas!

• UMAREX MAGNUM RESEARCH DESERT EAGLE BLOWBACK PELLET PISTOL CHRONOGRAPH TEST

Type: Pellet air pistol.

Manufacturer: Umarex.

Model:Magnum Research Desert Eagle.

Materials: Exterior mostly polymer with internal metal parts.

Weight: 2.4 pounds.

Barrel: 5.7 inches, metal-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, blowback, double and single action.

Ammunition Type: .177 cal. Pellets.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 rounds - rotary magazine.

FPS: 425.

Trigger Pull: The trigger uses two stages. The first stage rotates the magazine while the last stage releases the hammer. When in double action mode the trigger also engages the hammer. Overall the trigger pull I would consider to be a medium pull yet smooth making it easy to shoot on target.

Accuracy: Very good, the Umarex Desert Eagle makes a great semi-auto target shooter as far as 30 to 40 feet out.

Build Quality: Even though the external shell of the Desert Eagle is mostly plastic, it is still a very well made gun. Most of the internal parts that matter seem to be made out of metal. The fit and finish is also very good.

Realism: This is a very close replica to the real actual Magnum Research Desert Eagle with licensed trademarks and most everything in all the right places. However, other than the safety lever, many of the mechanical aspects of the gun are either non-functioning or serve an alternative purpose. The slide release actually opens the loading bay by making the barrel slide forward. The disassembly lever is non-functioning and is molded into the plastic along with the magazine release button.

Purchased this form: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Good reproduction of the original Magnum Research Desert Eagle.

• Would make an excellent training gun as it has a similar size, weight, and feel to the actual Desert Eagle handgun. (With obviously much less kick :)

• Blowback action and loud report add to the realism of shooting this pellet pistol.

• Nice high FPS for a blowback pellet gun.

• Good accuracy.

• Adjustable rear sight.

• Picatinny rail on top and bottom for accessories like a scope, red dot, laser sight and/or tactical light.

Cons:

• Heavy usage of CO2.

• Slide does not stay back after 8th shot so you need to count them off or you end up wasting CO2 before you realize no pellets are coming out.

• No way to keep the slide back, no working slide release.

• Lots of usage of plastic, would have been nice to have seen more metal in it.

• Large gun, not suitable for people with small hands.

Comments:

The Umarex Desert Eagle is a very unique pellet blowback air pistol, there are very few airgun pistols that include blowback, shoot pellets and have decent accuracy and FPS . The Umarex Desert Eagle is a very close replica of the original Magnum Research Desert Eagle. It has very good accuracy but you can only expect about 32 good shots (4 magazines) out of a CO2 cartridge. If you're looking for an airgun that may be a bit of a handful and can get over the abundance of plastic and hunger for CO2, than you will be rewarded with a predictable, accurate and enjoyable true semi-auto target pistol.

• UMAREX PX4 STORM PELLET GUN REVIEW

• BERETTA CX4 RIFLE & PX4 STORM TACTICAL PISTOL ADDED TO COLLECTION

I've already done a review of the Non-Tactical Umarex PX4 Storm CO2 Blowback Pellet-BB Airgun so make sure to read up on it and also checkout my YouTube Video Review.

This post/video is mainly just to show you what the differences are between the Tactical Recon Version and Non-Tactical versions of the PX4 Storm and talk a little about the added accessories included in the Tactical version.

The base gun is literally exactly the same except for the two-tone coloration on the Tactical version. The Tactical version obviously comes with the addition of several accessories which makes it the "Tactical Model".

Firstly, there is the addition of the Suppressor. With an airgun, usually a suppressor is mainly for show as sound level is not often an issue! That said, an airgun can benefit from a suppressor in one big way - a longer barrel meaning more FPS. Unfortunately Umarex did not take advantage of adding barrel length to the PX4 Tactical model and I'm not really sure why? Even with a longer barrel I double that the PX4 Storm would exceed 500 FPS excluding it from the Canadian market. That's just my two cents on the suppressor but on a good note it seems to be all metal and well built.

There is also the addition of a "Tactical Bridge Mount" that allows you to add more accessories than just the under barrel ones available to the Non-Tactical version. The Tactical Bridge Mount actually gives you four location to mount more accessories - (bottom, top and both sides). The Tactical Bridge Mount is not the most ridged of mounts but it does the job and because it is more flexiable it may be less prone to breakage in a fall.

Umarex takes advantage of these rail locations by including a Red-Dot scope on the top and a Tactical Light on the left side. The Red-Dot scope is decent but there is room for improvement as it's fairly entry level. The Walther Tactical Light on the other hand is very nice and comes with a pressure sensitive thumb grip switch.

All in all you will pay about double for the PX4 Storm Recon over the basic PX4 Storm but it does make for an intimidating looking hand gun especially if you're into that tactical look!

• ZORAKI 925 DELUXE BLANK GUN ARRIVES!!

• ZORAKI 925 9MM P.A.K. BLANK PISTOL SHOOTING REVIEW

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer: Zoraki - Atak Arms.

Model:Zoraki MOD 925.

Materials: Metal, Polymere shell.

Weight: 1.8 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Single action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K.

Ammunition Capacity: 16/26 rounds (magazine dependent).

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is short and smooth, typical of a semi auto action.

Accuracy: NA.

Build Quality: The overall build quality of this gun is excellent. The design and materials all seem to be of good quality. I was actually not expecting this gun to be as well built and finished as it was. Inside it has a metal frame based on the MOD 914 Zaraki with an exo-shell made of a polymer type material. It also comes in a very nice hard shell case with cut outs for everything included. (The Zoraki MOD 925 blank gun, 16 round and 26 round extended magazine, cleaning rod, oil bottle, alternate barrel tip, barrel changing tool, and flare adaptor)

Realism: This gun is not supposed to be a replica of any gun in production but it does look a bit like a mini sub machine pistol. The Zoraki 925 looks and feels like a real gun, so make sure to take precautions when using this blank mini machine gun!

Purchased From:CanadaAmmo.com.

Pros:

• In Canada it is one of the few blank guns available for purchase that is not prohibited.

• Excellent construction, all metal internal frame with high quality external polymer shell.

• Well priced for what you get even at the newer higher pricing.

• Magazines interchangeable with the Zoraki MOD 914.

• Come with a very nice hard shell case and accessory package.

Cons:

• Not as readily available in Canada, the US and other areas..

• 9mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive.

Comments:

The Zoraki MOD 925 is a sweet full auto machine pistol and if you can find one is a great addition to anyone blank gun collection. When compared to other full auto blank firing machine guns or pistols (Voltran Ekol UZI 9mm P.A.K. Blank Gun / Voltran Jackal air pistol) it is well priced but does not sacrifice in quality!

My table top Vimeo Video Review for the Zoraki MOD 925 Blank Gun:

Buy Blank Guns in Canada   -   Buy Zoraki M925 in the US

I had an idea the other day, Since I have all these Replica Guns and just about any TV show, Movie or even Internet Video that uses guns is going to need guns that look real, why not put my Replica Guns along with myself up for hire!

The first thing one must do with an idea like this is a bit of research to make sure there aren't any major road blocks like the law, and getting thrown in jail, so I called my local RCMP Chief Firearms Officer and we had a talk. Long story short, if I can buy the guns I'm going to be using without a firearms license, then I don't need a Business Firearms License to use my guns on set.

What most large budget TV and Film productions do is a hire a "Gun Wrangler" who is authorized to transport and supervise real steel guns on set - Very Expensive!!!

So with my much lower overhead and next to no red tape I can now offer a large and growing assortment of Replica guns for use on set in TV and Film. Right now I am only offering this in Canada, in the Vancouver and lower mainland areas.

• ZORAKI 925 9MM P.A.K. BLANK PISTOL SHOOTING REVIEW

That was fast shipping, it only took one day from when it left CanadaAmmo.com to arrive, not bad for free shipping!

I also got a couple of boxes of Fiocchi 9mm P.A.K. Blanks as theses full auto blank guns eat up the ammo fast and at $29 bucks for a box of 50 it ain't cheap!

The Zoraki 925 came in a very nice plastic box with cut out foam sections for each accessory.

The shorter 16 round magazine was inside the blank gun and the longer 26 round magazine was in a foam cut out in the case. Also included was an alternate barrel adaptor (longer barrel), flare adaptor, cleaning brush, oil container and a tool for swapping the alternate barrels ends. (The short barrel end I left on the gun out of personal preference)

And of course there was a manual with instructions on what to do and most importantly, what not to do!

The Zoraki 925 was surprisingly much nicer than I thought it would be, maybe a bit smaller. I had the impression that it would be a lot larger than my Zoraki 914 but it really was only marginally larger.

The cool part is that both the magazine from my Zoraki 925 also fit into my Zoraki 914 making it an even smaller 26 round full auto machine gun! Maybe not quite as mean looking as the 925?

The quality of the Zoraki 925 is amazing when considering the price! The polymer shell looks flawless and feels very durable, the mechanics of the gun feel tight and snappy with an overall solid feel probably because the polymer shell only covers the metal internal of what is nearly a complete simplified version of the 914 model.

The operation of the Zoraki 925 is very similar to the 914 with the exceptions of the ejection port cover which snaps open when you pull the slide lever back or pull the trigger. The mechanics of pulling the slide back is also different as the internal slide is not accessible from the outside, so you need to pull back on a slide lever located at the back of the gun.

The Zoraki 925 blank gun is definitely one of my favorite blank guns, I imagine it will shoot just like my 914 but I look forward to giving it a go anyways.

Look forward to my table top YouTube review shortly and when I feel like making some noise I will also do a shooting YouTube video of the Zoraki 914 rip'n it up...

• ZORAKI 925 9MM P.A.K. BLANK PISTOL SHOOTING REVIEW

I purchased a Zoraki 925 Deluxe Blank Gun back in late September on a pre-order from CanadaAmmo.com and have been waiting patiently for stock to arrive! Well it finally happened and my Zoraki 925 "Deluxe" is now officially on its way. The last order I received from CanadaAmmo only took two days to arrive as they are located very near to where I live.

Zoraki guns are starting to get a bit harder to buy in Canada and if you can find one it will probably be a bit more expensive now as the Zoraki line distribution channel has changed effectively increased the cost. I paid just under $150 for my 925 Deluxe model including shipping and taxes which is a great deal! The difference between the deluxe model and regular 925 is that the deluxe version comes with two magazines: a shorter 14 round mag and a longer 25 round magazine. I believe the deluxe version also has a nicer hard shell case with cut-outs for the gun, extra mag and accessories.

The Zoraki 925 is based on a simplified 914 9mm P.A.K. blank gun but has a polymer shell around it making it look a bit like a mini UZI. It also is capable of shooting in semi or full auto and a nice little bonus is that the magazines are interchangeable.

Here is a little bit of trivia on the Zoraki 925 - it was used in the movie Universal Soldier: Regeneration by Jean-Claude Van Damme in a few of the carnage scenes. Hey, if it's good enough for JCVD, it's good enough for me!

I can hardly wait for it to get here and of course I will be doing a review and shooting test to follow...

• UMAREX CX4 STORM GETS SOME NEW TOYS - 3X9X40 SCOPE AND FOREGRIP

I acquired a couple new CO2 blowback pellet guns to add to my Airgun Collection! I say new but they are actually used (Barley!). I got them off of a friend who wasn't really using them any more and he figured if he wanted to shoot them, he could always just drop by. Buying second hand is a good way to purchase items if you can find what you're looking for and if it's in good condition.

The Beretta CX4 Storm is a German made true-blowback semi-auto CO2 air rifle that uses 88 gram CO2 tanks and has a 30 round removable magazine. The claimed FPS is rated at 495 although I suspect it shoots under this. It is nearly identical to it's 9mm and 40 Cal brother. It even comes in the same case.

The Beretta PX4 Storm Tactical Pistol is basically the same gun as my Non-tactical Beretta PX4 Blowback Airgun but in two-tone and with a few added accessories such as a Silencer, Rail System, Red Dot Sight, and Tactical Flashlight. It uses regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges, has a 16 round magazine with a claimed FPS of 380.

As with all of my air guns, I plan to eventually review these two nice additions to my Replica Airgun Collection!

Buy Blank Guns in the US

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:CP99 Compact.

Materials: Metal slide, composite frame.

Weight: 1.6 pounds.

Barrel: 3.5 inches, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, blowback, single action only.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 18 rounds.

FPS: 345.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex CP99 Compact is amazing, it is short and light making it one of the best action shooters I own. You can fire this gun accurately and fast all day long.

Accuracy: Good, I find the sights on the CP99 Compact set up to work really well with my shooting style. I don't have to make any adjustments and I'm able to get tight groups even when shooting fairly quickly.

Build Quality: Excellent, this BB gun is made in Japan and it shows, I have owned it for close to 5 years now and it still shoots just as good as the day I bought it. It's well made, well finished and feels great in the hand.

Realism: This Replica BB gun has many of the same characteristics of the actual 9mm P99 Compact with the exception of having a longer handle and much different safety mechanism. My particular version did not have a cut out ejection port either but I believe the newer models do have cut out ejection ports adding to the realism of this replica CP99 Compact BB gun.

Available at: the Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Decent reproduction of the original Walther P99 Compact 9mm.

• Would make an excellent training gun as it has a similar size, weight, and feel to the actual Walther P99 Compact 9mm handgun.

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

• Decent FPS and CO2 efficiency for a blowback BB air gun.

• Amazing trigger pull making it a blast to shoot.

• Picatinny rail for accessories like a laser sight and/or tactical light.

Cons:

• Ejection port on older models is not cut out but rather molded into the slide.

• Safety lever seems out of place and takes away from the realism of this replica.

Comments:

This fine Blowback BB gun was the airgun that got me back to being interested in Replica Airguns. I've put thousands of rounds through this BB gun and it hasn't always been treated with the greatest care, but still it has held up very well. The Umarex Walther CP99 Compact a really fun gun to shoot and is not only easy on the pocket book to purchase but also to shoot, as it easily gets 100 shots plus per CO2 cartridge.

My Vimeo Video Review for this Airgun:

Buy this gun in Canada

Buy this gun in the US

You may be surprised to know that the Airgun that started off my collection was purchased only about 4 years ago. As a kid I had a few Airguns growing up and then suddenly in my late 30's I just picked it up again. Anyways the Airgun this post is focusing on is the Umarex Walther CP99 Compact. This post is not intended to be a review but in summary the CP99 Compact BB Blowback BB gun has one of the nicest trigger pulls in my collection. It is so much fun to shoot, it's very well made and is reasonably priced.

The one feature,or lack of a feature that I never really like about the Umarex CP99 Compact was the molded ejection port. In other words the ejection port is not cut out of the slide on this gun but instead is molded into the slide to look like an ejection port.

That said I have noticed a few of these Umarex CP99 Compacts sporting a cut out ejection port and so I thought to myself that maybe people have been cutting the ejection port out themselves? Hey I thought about giving it a try several times myself. So I took a walk over to the Umarex US website and low and behold if you click on the 360 view, you will see that it too has a cut out ejection port. The photos on their site do not show this new feature but rather the older molded version. I can not confirm that all new CP99 Compacts will in fact have the cut out ejection port, but it does look like Umarex has moved to this updated version…

So I thought enough is enough! It's time to pull out my tools and cut into my beloved CP99 BB gun. The best way to show you what transpired next is with a series of photos. At the end of about 2 hours of work I have to say I am very happy with the end result!

• ZORAKI R1 (2.5) BLANK REVOLVER ON ITS WAY...

• ZORAKI R1 (2.5) BLANK REVOLVER ARRIVES!

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer: Zoraki - Atak Arms.

Model:Zoraki R1 2.5.

Materials: All metal with plastic grips.

Weight: 1.7 pounds.

Barrel: 2.5 inches, semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Single and double action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. or 380 R Blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 6 rounds.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is good overall, even in double action mode it is smooth and not too heavy, in single action mode it is even lighter and shorter.

Accuracy: NA.

Build Quality: The overall build quality of this gun is very good. The design and materials all seem to be good quality. The cosmetics look good but when closely inspected there are small imperfections such as tool marks and some finishing blemishes. Not a big deal but if you are picky about this kind of thing then it may turn you off a bit.

Realism: This gun in theory is not supposed to be a replica of any gun in production but it does resemble many common snub nosed revolvers available such as the Rossi Snub Nosed Revolvers. It would be hard to tell the difference between the Zoraki R1 and a real snub nosed revolver even side by side. The only real tell tale sign would be if you looked at the front of the cylinder, you may notice the front bullet ports are smaller than they should be, more like a 22 caliber. The Zoraki looks and feels like a real gun, so make sure to take precautions when using this blank revolver!

Purchased From:CanadaAmmo.com.

Pros:

• In Canada it is one of the few Blank guns available for purchase that is not prohibited.

• All metal construction, with the exception of the grips.

• Attractive styling, many finishing options available.

• Well priced.

Cons:

• Finishing detail could be better.

• Pistol grips are hard plastic, would be better in rubber.

• 9mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive.

Comments:

The Zoraki R1 (2.5) is a nice addition to my Replica gun collection, if you are a Canadian then there are few options available to us if you want to legally own a Blank shooter. I do like the look of this Zoraki snub nosed revolver, especially in the two-tone configuration that I purchased. I'm not sure of the availability of Zoraki gun in other parts of the world but in the US there is another Snub Nosed Revolver that is virtually identical, made by the company Viper for about $99.

• ZORAKI R1 (2.5) 9MM P.A.K. BLANK REVOLVER REVIEW

WOW! That was fast shipping from CanadaAmmo.com!!! I ordered my Zoraki R1 (2.5) Blank Revolver on Tuesday the 28th and got it today the 30th! I got my tracking number today expecting it to have an estimated arrival day sometime next week and when I checked it out it said it was already at the post office waiting for me. I don't know exactly where CanadaAmmo.com is located but from my tracking info it looks like they may be located somewhere in Vancouver BC which is very close to where I live.

I will be posting a more thorough review with Video hopefully sometime next week on the Zoraki R1 (2.5) Blank Revolver but for now I wanted to give you my first impressions with a few photos.

The gun comes in a nice box wrapped inside a plastic bag to keep the other accessories from scratching it along the way. Mine was pretty greasy and needed a wipe down and then a re-oil but that's better than dry and rusty any day. Inside the case there is a manual, a cleaning rod and a flare adaptor. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that CanadaAmmo.com gave me a FREE pack of targets (with their marketing on it of course).

The gun looks great and I love the two-tone Satin/Black finish that I selected. Mine had a few tool marks on it but over all it's not bad and I am sure it will get more marks along the way...

The gun is a good size and weight, not huge or not small either. It does not feel cheap and looks more like a real gun than a blank gun. The Canadian Zoraki R1 (2.5) Blank Revolver discharges out of the front of the barrel like my other Zoraki Mod.914 which is always very nice and more realistic.

The Zoraki R1 uses 9mm blanks and can take the standard 9mm P.A.K rounds but they seem a bit loose and may not eject properly. I believe the right ammo to use would be the Crimped Blank 9mm rounds which I do not have. (If anyone knows where I can get some 9mm crimped blanks in Canada please let me know?)

I look forward to shooting this well made Zoraki Blank gun sometime in October amongst the other Halloween explosions...

I'm generally not a big revolver fan, but I kind of like the look of this little snub nosed 9mm Blank shooting revolver by Atak Arms. (Thanks to Rob who who sent me a comment about this gun being available in Canada)

To be honest, I find it weird that a bunch of these Zoraki blank guns are allowed in Canada, and I have a feeling it may all come to an end, so my plan is to acquire all three before the party's over! I already have the Zoraki 914 Semi/Full Auto in Gloss Black and I just ordered up a Zoraki R1 (2.5) Revolver in Satin with Black grips from CanadaAmmo.com. So all that's left is the Zoraki 925 Semi/Full Auto. The 925 is basically a re-skined 914 that looks like a small compact UZI machine-gun and it even has an optional 25 round magazine!

So hopefully I get my Zoraki R1 next week some time and I can include it in my October field test where I plan to fire off all my Blank guns. The plan is to have this coincide with all the Halloween fireworks noise.

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.

• REPLICA BLANK GUNS

• BLANK GUN CANADIAN LAWS

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.

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.

• BAIKAL MAKAROV MP-654K 4.5MM CO2 BB GUN - BLUED VERSION

• BAIKAL MAKAROV MP-654K 4.5MM CO2 BB PISTOL COMPARISON

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Baikal.

Model:MP-654K.

Materials: Weapons grade metal slide & frame.

Weight: 1.7 pounds.

Barrel: 3.9 inches, metal-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double and single action.

Ammunition Type: Steel/Lead BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 13 rounds.

FPS: 380.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is good in single action mode (When cocked), when shooting in double action mode it is a bit heavy but it seems like over time the gun is working its self in a bit.

Accuracy: Good, not amazing but pretty good.

Build Quality: Excellent, this gun is made side by side with the original Makarov PMM (9x18) firearm that it is Replica of and uses most of the same parts with some modifications to make the BB version shoot 4.5mm BB's.

Realism: You simply can not get any closer to how close this gun resembles the original Makarov PMM (9x18). You can even field strip this gun exactly like the original. The only acceptation is when it come time to fire the BB gun version, The Baikal MP-654K is not designed to have blowback operation which is understandable as it would be impossible to fabricate this gun form the original and still give it blowback operation.

Purchased From: Private Air Gun collector.

Pros:

• Amazing reproduction of the original Makarov PMM (9x18).

• Would make an excellent training gun as it has the exact size, weight, and feel to the actual Makarov PMM (9x18) handgun.

• Made out of Weapons Grade Metal.

• If you can get your hands on one, it is sure to hold or even increase in value.

Cons:

• No Blowback action due to it being modified from the real gun rather than made for purpose from scratch.

• Almost impossible to find in North America!

• Could be a Pro or a Con but the slide spring is crazy heavy, which makes it hard to work the slide and field strip the gun.

Comments:

The Baikal MP-654K BB Air pistol is a treasure to own, it is unique in that it is derived from the actual Makarov side by side in the original factory in Russia. Most Air guns are designed from scratch and therefore usually only look like the guns they replicate but internally they are usually nothing alike. The Baikal MP-654K BB Gun is the real Makarov with a few changes to allow it to shoot BB's propelled by CO2. If you're a replica Airgun collector and you ever have the chance to pick one up, do it!

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...
