BB Versus Airsoft Full Auto Fun Video 3 Top Pick

No Comments

I have another Full Auto Fun Video this one focusing on 4.5mm Steel BB Versus 6mm Plastic and which one is better in terms of accuracy and shredding power. I perform this super scientific test by shooting obviously in full auto two comparable Steel BB and Plastic Airsoft Rifles at a paper target setup 20 feet away with a magazine as a backer so I can see what the accuracy is like and how much of the paper magazine gets shredded by each ammo being tested.

I have split this video into three separate videos, in video one I compare two similar AR styled rifles, a CO2 powered Blowback 4.5mm BB Rifle to a Gas Blowback 6mm Airsoft Rifle. In video two I compare two AK type Blowback Rifles to each otters, again a CO2 4.5mm Steel BB along with a Gas 6mm Airsoft.

And lastly in Video three I compare my top picks for each category which include a non-Blowback CO2 4.5mm BB Machine gun to an AEG 6mm Airsoft Rifle.

In this video (Video Three) the Airguns being used are the Original Baikal Drozd CO2 BB Machine Gun and the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 AEG Airsoft Rifle.

What has More Accuracy and Power - BB - Pellet - Airsoft - Paintball - Video 2 Accuracy

No Comments

In this two part video series I compare several Air Pistols to each other to find out what type of round has the most power and accuracy. The guns I use for this not so scientific test are the KWC Model DE /50 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback 6mm Plastic Airsoft Pistol, the EKOL ES 55 CO2 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol, the Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle Blowback CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol and the Umarex T4E TR50 CO2 .50 Caliber Paintball Pistol.

For this Video 2 Accuracy Test I shoot all of the above listed Airguns at a paper target setup 30 feet down range using a semi rested shooting position with my hands resting on a sand bag up front and seated on a stool in the back. It’s not perfect but works well enough. I didn’t take a ton of time with each gun since there where 4 to shoot in this Field Test Shooting Video so accuracy may have been a bit better if I took a little more time with each gun.

In Video 2 I test the power and penetration of each Airgun option shooting at a pop can, a soup can and a toilet paper roll so make sure to watch that video if you have not already watched it.

What has More Accuracy and Power - BB - Pellet - Airsoft - Paintball - Video 1 Power

No Comments

In this two part video series I compare several Air Pistols to each other to find out what type of round has the most power and accuracy. The guns I use for this not so scientific test are the KWC Model DE /50 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback 6mm Plastic Airsoft Pistol, the EKOL ES 55 CO2 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol, the Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle Blowback CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol and the Umarex T4E TR50 CO2 .50 Caliber Paintball Pistol.

For this Video 1 Power Test I shoot all of the above listed Airguns first at a pop can, then a soup can and then a toilet paper roll. The ides is to test penetration abilities with the pop and soup can and then raw force shooting the toilet paper as it will absorb all the energy from each airgun round and by gauging how much the toilet paper reacts or moves it should tell us which airgun has the most raw power or energy.

In Video 2 I will be testing accuracy using my standard 30 round paper target setup in the Replica Airguns Sea Can so stay posted for that upcoming video shortly…

Full Auto Fun 2022 Video 3 Air Ordnance SMG .22

No Comments

The Video I am sure most of you have been waiting for in this Full Auto Fun 2022 Video Series! The Canada Legal Air Ordnance SMG .22 Full Auto PCP Machine Gun. For this video I loaded up a 100 round belt fed magazine and filled my 13 CU PCP tank up to 3500 PCI (I should have filled it all the way to 3000 in hind sight!) I was able to get through almost all the of the 100 rounds but ran out of pressure with around 100 or so rounds left. Still had lots of .22 caliber lead pellets to get the job done and rip through all the water filled cans with lots left over for the Gel fill paper target. Make sure to watch Video 1 where I shot the Crosman A4-P Co2 Full Auto Machine Pistol and Video 2 where I shoot another Corman BB Machine Gun the AK1 Full Auto CO2 BB Rifle.

Canadian Temporary Handgun Ban What it Means for Airguns

2 Comments

In this Replica Airguns Video I talk about the latest Canadian Temporary Handgun Ban What it Means for Airguns. I talk about what I think abut it and what it means for Replica Airguns now and in the future.

Canada puts in place temporary handgun import ban!

From: Global Affairs Canada

News release

August 05, 2022 - Toronto, Ontario - Global Affairs Canada

Canadians deserve to feel safe in their communities. That is why the Government of Canada has a comprehensive plan that gets firearms off our streets and more

resources into our communities. A central part of this is the recently introduced Bill C21. The bill addresses the alarming role of guns in gender based violence, gets tough on organized crime and most significantly introduces a national freeze on the sale,

transfer and ownership of handguns, anywhere in Canada.

The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Honourable Marco Mendicino, Minister of Public Safety, today announced a temporary import ban on the importation of restricted handguns. This will help bring the ultimate impact of the national handgun freeze into force sooner. This temporary ban means that individuals and businesses will no longer be able to import handguns into Canada, subject to narrow exceptions that mirror those in Bill C-21. These restrictions will take effect on

August 19th, 2022, and will last until the national freeze comes into force. No single program or initiative can tackle the challenge of gun violence on its own. That is why Bill C-21 and the national freeze on handguns are two of the many elements in the Government’s comprehensive plan to keep Canadians safe. This begins at our borders, where we’ve added resources to fight smuggling and stop guns from coming into Canada. We’re also investing in prevention programs to tackle the root causes of gun crime and stop it before it starts. Finally, we banned assault-style weapons like AR15s, and will soon begin a buyback program to get these weapons of war out of our communities once and for all.

Quotes

“We know that one Canadian killed by gun violence is one too many. As a government, it is our duty to ensure that Canada remains one of the safest places to live in the world. The import ban announced today will help to keep guns stay off our streets as we work towards implementing Bill C-21, reducing gun violence in the immediate term.

- Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs

“My top priority as Minister is keeping Canadians safe in their communities. Today’s announcement is further proof that we are using all tools at our disposal to fight gun crime in this country. It is a key pillar of our plan to address it, along with investments in prevention, action at our borders, a ban on assault-style weapons and Bill C-21 –Canada’s most significant action on gun violence in a generation.”

- Marco Mendicino, Minister of Public Safety

Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle Combo Table Top Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Shooting Video I go outside for a bit of a change and test out the Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle Combo to see what the real world velocity is and what kind of accuracy I can expect shooting at much further out ranges than my Sea Can Airgun Range offers me. If you want to know more about specifications and details for this Break Barrel Spring Piston Air Riffle make sure to watch my Table Top Video for information along with more closeup video.

Starting with the velocity for the Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle Combo, Beeman claims up to 495 fps but does not say weather thesis for the .22 or .177 caliber barrel? I placed 5 rounds through my Chronograph using the .22 Caliber barrel option and was able to average 432 fps using 14.3 grain lead pellets which gave me an energy of 5.93 foot pounds. I would say it is safe to say that you can hit close to the claimed velocity of 495 fps with .22 Caliber lead pellets but would need to be using a bit light grain pellets closer to around 10 or 11 grain. I did not test .177 caliber pellets but they are even lighter and will have an even higher velocity most likely be over 500 fps.

While I was testing velocity to make things more efficient I also placed my shots on a paper target setup around what I estimate to be around 80 feet down range. Now I admit I am not the best long range shooter especially with Spring Piston Air Rifles but I was able to get around a 4 inch grouping at this distance with two shots on top of each other and the other three where more sporadic but I’m pretty sure the spreed was mostly because of my shooting skills with a rifle like this. I was using the provided Beeman 4x30 optical scope for this test rather than the open sights. My pellet choice was .22 Caliber Crosman Premier Hollow Point 14.3 grain lead Pellets.

What I like about the Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle Combo is for sure the smooth trigger, the ability to change barrel to either .177 Caliber or .22 Caliber and I like the feel of the stock with its modern look and pistol grip for a comfortable hold. I was not a fan of the 4x30 scope as it seemed a bit fuzzy to me, maybe the optics where off on mine as the other Beeman 4x30 scope that came with the 1042 I tested was super crisp? Lastly I have to say the break barrel on this spring piston does take some arm strength so if you are smaller or not as strong then you may have difficulty cocking the Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle Combo. All in all it’s a good overall springer with lots of features for a relatively low cost.

Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Shooting Video I get outside for a change and test out the Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle to see what the actual velocity is and what kind of accuracy I can expect shooting at much further ranges than my Sea Can Airgun Range can offer. If you want to know more about specifications and details for this Break Barrel Air Riffle make sure to watch my Table Top Video for information along with more closeup video.

Starting with the velocity for the Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle, Beeman claims up to 475 fps but based on how light the spring feels when cocking this Airgun I was not expecting to get that high of fps. I placed 5 rounds through my Chronograph and was able to average 361 fps using 14.3 grain lead pellets which gave me an energy of 4.14 foot pounds. This isn’t bad in terms of energy but I would not suggest this Air Rifle for pest control because of the lower fps unless you are shooting really small pests at closer ranges.

While I was testing velocity to speed things up I also placed the same rounds on my paper target setup around I would say 80 feet down range (Best guess). Keep in mind I am not the best long range shooter especially with Spring Piston Air Rifles but I was able to get around a 3 inch 5 shot grouping at this distance with three of the shoots all within about 1 inch of each other so not bad for me. I was using the provided Beeman 4x30 optical scope which was nice and crips. My pellet choice was .22 Caliber Crosman Premier Hollow Point 14.3 grain lead Pellets.

What I like about the Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle is the easy to cock break barrel, the optical scope, the nice wood finish and its overall performance. I did feel the trigger was a bit heavy and it would be nice to have just a bit more power but that would come at a harder to cock break barrel. If you want an easy shooting and overall good looking lower cost Spring Piston Pellet Rifle in .22 caliber then I would recommend the Beeman 1042 .22 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Rifle for sure!

Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle Field Test Review

No Comments

This was a fun Field Test Shooting Video Review to make for the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle. Overall it performed really well for me in terms of power and accuracy. As usual I test out the velocity pacing several rounds through my Chronograph and averaging them out. Then I proceed to test out the accuracy shooting 10 rounds in semi auto at a paper target 30 feet away followed by some full auto bursts to see how that effects the accuracy. You can watch my Preview Vide for the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle for some more details and specifications

Starting with my velocity test, I placed 6 rounds through my Chronpgrah using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s with a fully gassed up magazine. The slowest shot was 332 fps while the fastest shot was 350 fps for a 6 shot average of 337 fps, the temperature was not overly warm in the Sea Can for this Field Test so I would imagine in a warmer shooting conditions the velocity would be a little bit higher.

Switch to my Accuracy test for the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle I set myself up using a rested seated shooting position with a sand bag up front for stability. My fresh paper target was 30 feet down range for this test. I was able to place 10 rounds in semi auto all within about 1.5 inches slightly high on the target but well centered left to right. This is just using out of the box already setup hop-up and sight adjustments. I then shot the remaining 25 rounds left in the magazine using several full auto bursts until the magazine was empty and as expected the grouping opened up more since this Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle really does have some kick and does move around a fair bit.

I really enjoyed testing out the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle in the Replcai Airguns Sea Can Indoor Airgun Shooting Range. It performed exactly how I was hoping with mid range velocity and excellent accuracy in semi auto. If you are looking for one of the more realistic and higher quality GBB Airsoft AR-15 type Airsoft Rifles on the market you really can not go wrong with the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle as it checks all these boxes!

Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle Field Test Review

No Comments

Yet another Indoor Field Test Shooting Video performed in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range. Today I put the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle through its paces and it came out a winner for sure! I really like the way this AR15 type AEG Airsoft Rifle looks and feels and was hoping to get a good result today, I was not disappointed! I have not yet made my Table Top Video for the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle but plan for this next week, you can watch my Preview Video for some details and specifications in the mean time

As I always do, I first tested out the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle by shooting several rounds through my Chronograph to see what the actual velocity is in fps. I used .20 gram Airsoft BB’s for this test and was able to get a 6 shot average of 408 fps so perfect for most shooting situations as this is not too hot or too cold. My slowest shot was 402 fps while the fastest shot was 410 so pretty consistent for sure.

Next I placed a fresh paper target 30 feet down range on my ammo trap and proceeded to shoot around 10 rounds into it using a rested seated shooting position with a sand bag up front to help with stability. The first shot out of the barrel felt and sounded like a double shot and this one did strike the target just a tad low so I left that one out of the test results. All the other Airsoft BB’s shot easily within 1.5 inches maybe even a bit tighter and all where well centered left to right but just a bit low on the target most likely because I was using a red dot with a riser that places the sights fairly high. Since the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle can also shoot in full auto I had to give it a try and pretty much emptied the magazine until the target actually fell off the ammo trap. The full auto grouping did open up just a slight bit as expected but only marginally.

I really like the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle, yes it’s an AR15 at it’s core but Sig has made it their own in terms of looks and styling. The performance was also excellent so this gun is not just for show. You will need a sighting system of some sort when you buy it so keep that in mind. I suggest a red dot of some sort but you could add on iron sights if you like more traditional sights.

Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol Field Test Review

1 Comment

In this Field Test Shooting Video for the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol I perform two main tests to find out what the velocity and accuracy capabilities are for it first using my Chronograph and shooting several rounds through it averaging out the fps. For the second test I shoot 7 rounds into a fresh paper target 30 feet down range to see how tight of a grouping I can get.

For my Velocity test Beeman claims the P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is capable of around 410 fps using standard lead pellets which I found to be a very close estimate as my results using 6.9 grain lead pellets achieved a 4 shot average of 404 fps so only 6 fps off the claim. There are lighter lead pellets out there and even lighter alloy pellets so higher velocities are possible using less grain pellets but a decent grain pellet hitting 400+ fps is not bad considering only one pump is required to get max velocity from the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol.

Moving on to the accuracy portion of the test I setup a fresh paper target 30 feet away and proceeded to put 7 rounds into it shooting from a seated and rested shooting position (sand bag up front, seated in the back). I was a bit surprised to only get a 1.5 inch grouping but it seemed like there where three separate sub groups that each overlapped within themselves? I think perhaps when I pumped the gun I may have been disrupting the rear sight a bit as it does have some play in it for adjustments so you want to be careful not to place your hands on the rear sight when cooking the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol. Out of the box the shot placement was fairly well centered with two of the rounds right dead center of the bulls-eye.

I kind of want to do a retest at some point maybe with a different pellet and also making sure not place my hands over the rear sight when cocking the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol as I feel this Target Pellet Pistol is capable of .5 inch groupings. The trigger is really nice and the rifled barrel is a decent length with easy to use sights so this Air Pistol should do a bit better than I was able to get shooting it on this day. Either way it is a really fun gun to shoot and with a bit of time figuring it out I am confident you can get better results than I did.

Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Pellet Pistol.
Manufacturer: Beeman
Model: P17 2004.
Materials: Steel, Aluminum and Polymer.
Weight: 1.7 pounds (771 Grams).
Barrel: 7 inches (177.8mm) - rifled.
Propulsion: Single Stroke Pneumatic.
Action: Single Shot SAO.
Ammunition Type: .177 Caliber Pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 1.
Max FPS: 410.

Trigger Pull: The Single action only trigger pull on the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is excellent, super light with just a little bit of take-up, the release is very predictable, one of the best target pistol triggers I have reviewed for sure. There is no adjustment but I do not feel it is nessisary at all.

Accuracy: Spoiler alert! Before posting the written version of this review I did make the Field Test Shooting Video so I can give you a little bit of a heads up on how well the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol in its Field Test Shooting Video. In terms of velocity it was really close to the 410 fps using lead pellets and for accuracy I was pleased with there results but feel the gun can do better than the result I got on this day, perhaps a different pellet choice, some more break in time or maybe just me shooting on a different day. That said I confident this gun is very capable of getting groupings under an inch in the right conditions, maybe even 1/2 an inch.

Build Quality: The build quality of the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is good considering it is a sub $100 target pistol with a great trigger, fully adjustable fiber optic sights and only one pump to get maximum velocity. The outer shell is polymer while the pump and valve body are aluminum with the barrel and main valve made out of steel. the trigger and latch are also metal.

Realism: The Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is not really a replica of a real steel gun in production per-say but the pistol grips are very Walther P series looking so if you are Walther owner or like the grips on the Walther P series guns then you will enjoy the hold of the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol.

Pros:

  • Reasonable price for an accurate full featured target pistol.

  • Safety automatically resets to the safe position when you pump/charge the pistol.

  • No need for CO2 so very inexpensive to shoot.

  • Virtually no recoil or vibration like you find in spring piston airguns.

  • Fiber optic front and back sight, also fully adjustable for windage and elevation.

  • Quality materials where you need them for expected long life and use.

  • Only requires one pump for full 410 fps power.

  • Works great for left and right handed shooters.

  • Good if you like Walther type pistol grips, same shape and feel as many P series pistols.

  • Excellent trigger feel and pull.

Cons:

  • Loading pellets is a bit awkward.

  • Have to pump it for each shot, no action shooting here.

  • Not rally a replica if that’s what you are after but generally most Spring Piston or Pneumatic Airguns are not replicas with a couple exceptions.

Comments:
So the Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is not really a Replica or even an action shooter but it does have its place in an airgun collection. I love blasting pop cans just as much as the next person but sometimes I like to slow things down and see how accurate I can get with an Airgun and not be too concerned that the gun is interfering with the accuracy. This is one way to really improve your shooting skills and having to work for each shot makes it that much more rewarding. The Beeman P17 2004 Single Stroke .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol allows you to have a great time honing in your shooting skills for not a lot of cash up front and cost per shot is only whatever the pellets cost you.

G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Review Shooting Video I take the G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol through its paces to find out what we can expect in terms of velocity and accuracy. I perform two main tests, the Chronograph Test where I shoot around 5 rounds and average them out to see what the real world fps is and then I shoot 10 rounds at a paper taggert setup 30 feet downrange to see how tight of a grouping I can achieve with the G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol. I don’t talk much about the specifications and details in this video so if you are interested in that information you can watch my Table Top Video for this Airsoft Pistol here.

Starting first with the Chronograph Velocity Test I loaded .20 gram Airsoft BB’s into both of the supplied magazines and filled them up with propane gas. Often times because the valves may be tuned just a bit differently, you can expect each magazine to shoot a slightly different velocities or fps. This was the case with the G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol as the shorter double stack 25 round magazine averaged 353 fps while the longer single stack 20 round magazine shot a 328 average fps. So 25 fps difference between the two.

Moving on to the accuracy portion of the test I was able to get close to a two inch grouping fairly well centered shooting at a fresh paper target setup 30 feet away from a rested shooting position with my hands on a sand bag up front and sitting in the back. I was having some problems with the shorter double stack 25 round magazine not chambering rounds consistently which meant I had to reset my shooting position many times but even so I was able to get close to a two inch grouping. I did load up a different 25 round magazine from another Piranha Airsoft Pistol I had around and this magazine shot perfectly without any chambering problems so there must be something not exactly right with the short magazine that came with my G&G Piranha SL.

Other than the feeding issue I had for the double stack 25 round short magazine that came with my G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol, the Airsoft gun performed well. It for sure made for an entertaining video spraying Airsoft BB’s all over the Sea Can and trying o figure out why the Airsoft Pisotl was not working as it should. Such is life and at the end of the day it was simply something going on with the one magazine which seemed ot have a problem releasing the Airsoft BB’s into the gas chamber. All that was needed was a new magazine and we where back in business!

KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Shooting Range to find out what the velocity and accuracy is using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. If you’re more interested in details, specifications and close up video of the KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol then make sure to watch my Table Top Video for that information.

Starting with the velocity test I averaged out 6 rounds using my chronograph to find out the fps velocity for the KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol and I was able to get 279.5 fps, the slowest of the 6 shots was 279 with the fastest being 281 so actually fairly closer to each other. I do mention at the end of the video that it felt like the velocity was not consistent because the blowback action to me felt like it was heavier on some shots than others? I felt like this might effect accuracy in terms of elevations if the velocity was not consistent but it ended up not being a factor as far as I could tell.

For my accuracy test I loaded 10 rounds in the KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol and proceeded to place them to the best of my ability into my paper target setup 30 feet down range using a rested and seated shooting position (Sand bag up front, seated on a stool in the back). Even though the grouping spread out to about 4 inches, all but one round stayed within about 2 inches and side to side the spread was closer to about 1.5 inches for all shots. In terms of placement on the target they where all fairly well centered out of the box.

The fps for the KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol is a bit low using the preinstalled short internal barrel that does not allow for the added threaded barrel extension but you could install the short internal threaded barrel and add the external barrel extension to increase the fps to more in the range of 360+. That said you would have a fairly long brass inner barrel protruding from your gun with no way I can see to install a mock suppressor to hide it so it would not look so good this way and there is also the possibility of damaging the thin exposed external barrel. Overall the KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol performed well but I feel needs a little bit of break in time to smooth out the blowback consistency but even as is it shot consistent fps and was able to get most rounds well placed on the center of the target.

KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol.
Manufacturer: KJWorks
Model: CZ P-09
Materials: Metal & Polymer.
Weight: 2.3 pounds (1050 grams).
Length: 9 inches (229mm) total.
Barrel: 4.4 inches (120mm), Metal non-rifled smooth bore. (Comes with barrel extension)
Propulsion: Green gas or propane.
Action: Blowback, single and double action.
Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 25rounds.
FPS: 376 fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol is good in both single and double action shooting modes. Most of the time you will be shooting in single action as the blowback action will do all the work cycling the slide and retracting the hammer allowing for light quick single action follow up shots. If you do decide to drop the hammer in-between shooting you can then pull the double action trigger which is much longer and a bit heavier but this will draw the hammer back and release the trigger as expected with single action shots to follow.

Accuracy: So far I have not made my Field Test Shooting Video for the KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol but do expect it to behave much like the ASG distributed version of this same gun which by the way is also made by KJWorks. The only real difference to consider will be the gas used in both of these Airsoft guns as the ASG distributed version uses CO2 while the KJWorks version reviewed in this video uses Green Gas or Propane which will reduce the velocity a little bit. We will find out next week when I make my Field Test Shooting Video for the KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol.

Build Quality: KJWorks is know for making high quality products and the KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol is no different. Fit and finish is excellent and the quality of material is also very good with similar materials used as you would expect them compared to the real steel version with the exception of the metals not having to be as high grade because of way less force and pressure on the Airsoft version.

Realism: The KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol is a one to one Replica of the real steel CZ P-09 firearm and on first inspection would be hard to tell apart. You are going to find CZ licensing throughout this Airsoft Pistol in all the right places and all the controls work just like the powder burning CZ P-09. The full blowback operation, reassessed barrel and ability to field strip it also aid in making the shooting experience super realistic.

Pros:

  • Build quality feels really goods, lots of weight to this Airsoft Pistol.

  • Full length blowback action.

  • Accurate licensed CZ P-09 Replica.

  • Trigger pull is nice in both single and double action.

  • Picatinny rail for adding accessories like a tac light or laser.

  • Double stack full size drop out Metal Magazine holds the Green Gas and 25 Airsoft BB’s

  • No orange tip which is always nice.

  • Easy to see white dot front and back sights.

  • Green Gas which when using propane is fairly cheap to shoot.

  • Easily Field Strippable.

  • Adjustable Hop-up.

Cons:

  • Sights don’t seem to be adjustable.

  • Controls are not fully ambidextrous.

  • Green Gas version has less velocity than CO2 version.

Comments:

The KJWorks CZ P-09 GBB Airsoft Pistol is really almost exactly like the ASG Distributed version since both are made by KJWorks at the end of the day. There are some slight differences between them like CO2 versus Green Gas and some other very minimal cosmetic changes. I would say go with which ever version is in stock and perhaps is less expensive at the time. You really can’t go wrong as this is a great choice to make for an Airsoft Side arm to use on the Airsoft field or for plinking in your yard or indoor range.

G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol.
Manufacturer: G&G
Model: Piranha SL
Materials: Metal & Polymer.
Weight: 1.85 pounds (838 grams).
Length: 10.3 inches (262mm) total.
Barrel: 5.6 inches (142.5mm), Metal non-rifled smooth bore.
Propulsion: Green gas or propane.
Action: Blowback, single action only.
Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 20/25rounds.
FPS: 370+ fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol is typical single action only with a super easy short take up (some of which is the trigger safety engaging), followed by a crisp predictable light release. The quick slide cycle allows for some quick semi auto shooting with the G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol making it a great fast action shooter with quick target acquisition.

Accuracy: I have not done my actual Field Test Shooting video review for the G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol but I expect it to perform similar to the G&G Piranha MK I and TR GBB Airsoft Pistol I made a Field Test Shooting Video for earlier and shoot consistently in the mid to high 300 fps with a 10 round grouping around 1-2 inches. Stay posted for my Field Test Shooting Video where I will confirm these predictions…

Build Quality: Like pretty much all G&G Airsoft guns including the Piranha series, the G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol build quality is really good. Fit and finish are excellent with virtually zero slide wiggle, I like the two tone stainless slide and chrome finish barrel version but the all black looks really good too. As with the entire Piranha line, the SL also has an updated Ceramic Whirl Cylinder Valve technology from G&G that should significantly help with freezing in colder or fast shooting situations along with a new Hop-up system you can easily adjust without taking the Airsoft gun apart by using the bullet shaped tool.

Realism: The G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol as far as I can determines not an exact replica of any specific real steel gun in production but it does share its looks and feel to that of the Glock but perhaps with an even more modernized look to it. Of course the SL version is elongates. You will find realistic function to the G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistoling terms of it’s operation with its full blowback action, working slide catch release, magazine release trigger safety and takedown lever allowing for it to be field stripped easily.

Pros:

  • Good balance of metal and plastic for a balanced and light feel.

  • Partial slide Blowback operation should allow for even better gas performance and snappy operation.

  • Fiber optic sights front and back for easy target acquisition.

  • Has a working trigger safety.

  • Smaller grips perfect for people with smaller hands. Larger hands work just fine too!

  • Comes in a well presented soft foam form fitted box case.

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

  • Long bottom rail for adding accessories.

  • Comes in all black and two tone black and sliver.

  • Comes with two magazines (20 round short and 25 round extended with fake bullets)

  • Comes with high quality speed loader.

  • Threaded barrel tip for add on mock suppressor if you want to.

Cons:

  • Sights are non adjustable.

  • Not an actual replica of any specific gun I know of but does share some Glock attributes.

  • Wish the extended mag held more rounds?

  • I like the hard shell case better that comes with the other Piranha versions.

Comments:

The G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol is for sure the flashiest version of the Piranha series of G&G Airsoft Pistols with its extended barrel and extended magazine with the fake bullets. I also imagine the extra barrel length will add some addition fps to the velocity and we will find out when I make my Field Test Shooting Video for it shortly. I am hoping the extended magazine holds more than an addition 5 rounds but again we are going to find out in my my Field Test Video so be sure to watch that one! If you don’t mind the additional bulk of the G&G Piranha SL GBB Airsoft Pistol over the MK 1 and TR than you will get an extra magazine and I a bit higher velocity.
