Make sure to watch my Table Top Review Video if you want more info on the details and specifications for the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol! in this Field Test Shooting video I test out the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol inside the Replica Airguns indoor Sea Can Airgun Range to see how well it performs in terms of Velocity and Accuracy. The temperature was 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) so not too hot or too cold on this test day. I was also using a brand new CO2 along with 5.1 grain RWS zinc coated steel BB’s.

For the first test to find out what the actual velocity is for the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol, I placed 5 rounds through my Chronograph back to back and I was able to get an average of 456 fps with the fastest shoot hitting 460 fps and the slowest shot in the string hitting 451 fps. All within 9 fps of each other so very consistent.

Next I setup a fresh paper target 30 feet down range and proceeded to do my best to obtain a 10 shot grouping using a seated and rested shooting position. Most of the shots form the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol where all under 1.5 inches apart, just a little bit high and slightly to the left. I did get a flyer that went a little bit lower than the rest lengthening out the 10 shot grouping to about 2 inches in diameter. I am pretty sure I would be able to get a 1 inch grouping with the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol after some practice.

Overall the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol performed well for me shooting consistently without any issues. The Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol is fairly basic in design but does have the added much suppressor that allows for a longer inner barrel giving it a little more fps. You also have the removable sight rail fi you want to add some optical sights or perhaps a laser or tactical light or maybe all of them?

Make sure to watch my Table Top Review Video if you want more info on the details and specifications for the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit! in this Field Test Shooting video I test out the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit inside the Replica Airguns indoor Sea Can Airgun Range to see how well it performs in terms of Velocity and accuracy.

For the first test to find out what the actual velocity is for the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit I placed 5 rounds through my Chronograph back to back and I was able to get an average of 396 fps with the fastest shoot hitting 404 fps and the slowest shot in the string hitting 389 fps. Interestingly enough the fastest shot was the last shot in my 5 shot string so CO2 cooling did not effect the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit too much.

Next I setup a fresh paper target 30 feet down range and proceeded to do my best to obtain a 10 shot grouping using a seated and rested shooting position. I may have only loaded 9 rounds this time but I was still able to get a good idea on how well the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit performs in the accuracy department. Most of the shots where all under 2 inches and well center on the target with at least 3 or 4 rounds in the bullseye. I did get a flyer that went rather high but we will assume there may have been a bad BB in the bunch shine I did not feel I pulled that shot at all and since the other rods all placed well together well will go with the smaller grouping of under 2 inches.

Overall the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit performed well for me shooting consistently without any issues. The Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit is a very basic airgun with your standard double action trigger that will be on the longer side, that said it felt pretty good and was not overly heavy with a fairly predictable pull and release making it easy enough to find your target. Action shooting will be OK too since the trigger is not super heavy for a double action only trigger.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol is typical of a Double Action Only Trigger and so you will expect it to be a longer medium to heavy pull. I’d say it’s more of a medium pull, it’s not going to be the fastest action shooter because of this but it will get the job done emptying the 20 round stick magazine quick enough. Like many of these lower cost basic CO2 BB pistols the barrel acts like the hammer in that it does protrude out of the barrel opening when you pull the trigger and snap back upon release.

View fullsize

Accuracy & Power: At this point I have not shot the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol so I can only quote what Crosman claims on their packaging in terms of velocity which is a peppy 480fps. We will have to see if this figure is close to the mark when I get to the Field Test Shooting Review for the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol, along with test results for accuracy at 30 feet downrange.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol is mostly all plastic with some metal internal parts where they need to be for strength and durability issues. The Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol is basically two plastic halves put together with screws on the right side. This may not be the prettiest way to build a CO2 Airgun but it does work and keeps things simple, simple means there are a lot less things to go wrong which means you will have an airgun that is reliable for a long time.

View fullsize

Realism: The Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol is not a replica of any specific real steel pistol in production but in my opinion it kind of looks like a hybrid of a Beretta and Sig merged together. Obviously the Blue and Pink versions are made to show they are not real steel guns but you can get the P10 in the all black Phantom version which will look more like a real gun. There are few moving parts on the Crosman P10 line of Airguns, just the trigger, safety and magazine release. All other parts are moulded into the plastic with no working slide or even hammer. The CO2 tab is well hidden by the grips but the barrel is not reassessed at all.

Pros:

• Blue and pink color scheme may ease some parents when buying a first BB gun.

• High FPS rating.

• Non-blowback will get more shots per CO2.

• Comes with a generic nylon holster you can use with other airguns too .

• CO2 tab is nicely hidden inside the grip.

• Double action trigger pull is long but not too firm.

• Should work with other similar styled magazines commonly found on lower cost BB pistols.

• Assembled in the US.

Cons:

• All plastic gun for the most part with just a few internal metal parts.

• Not many working parts pretty much all moulded gun.

• Grips fairly loose, don't really snap into place, could fall off easily.

Comments:

I’m not really a big fan of all plastic non-blowback airguns as I have made aware in many of my other videos. That said there is a place for Airguns like the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol for those looking to buy an Airgun not so much as a close replace but simply just to shoot at targets and have fun with. The Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol will do just that very dependably while offering lots of shots per CO2 with a high fps, it should also get reasonable accuracy while doing so. Being able to get it in a variety of colors means you can personalize the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol a bit more and the blue and pink versions may be the deciding factor for some parents sitting not the fence on whether or not to allow their young adult or teenager to buy their first CO2 BB Pistol.

Type: Non-blowback CO2 BB Pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by Daisy.
Model: Powerline 5170.
Materials: Metal & plastic.
Weight: 1.8 pounds.
Barrel: Smooth bore goes entire length of much compensator.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto non-blowback, double action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 21 round drop out plastic magazine.
FPS: Claimed 520.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol is that of a Double Action only Trigger and so you will expect it to be on the long side. That said it is smooth all the way through the pull and no overly heavy. It also has a rather satisfying feeling that I can only explain as a feeling that you are working well put together internal metal parts.

Accuracy & Power: At this point I have not shot the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol so I can only quote what Daisy is saying in terms of velocity which is rather optimistic 520fps. This sounds high but we will have to see when I get to the Field Test Shooting Review for the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol.

Build Quality: The Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol seems to be decently made for a mostly plastic airgun. Like I said the metal trigger feels solid and it also has a metal safety which is nice, other than that all other external parts are plastic but it does feel like there are a lot of metal internal parts based on the weight. I would have liked to see more metal in the magazine as it does feel to be the cheapest part of the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol.

Realism: The Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol is basically a replica of a 1911 in most ways. It does have a shorter slide than a standard 1911 but the compensator adds a lot of length back to the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol. The working safety is out of place for a 1911 since it is located where the slide catch would be and does not even look like a 1911 slide catch. The location where the real 1911 safety would be has a moulded in non-working safety. Not to be overly picky but the trigger on a 1911 is also totally different since it would be a very short single action only trigger. The only working parts on the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol are the trigger, safety and magazine release.

Available From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Fairly low cost with what looks to be decent fps and hopefully good accuracy.

• Has an added compensator that extends the barrel internally.

• Double action trigger is very smooth and satisfying feel to it.

• Comes with sight rail for addition of top, bottom and side Weaver accessories.

• Safety actually looks like part of the gun even though not a 1911 style lever.

• CO2 tab is well hidden by magazine but plate.

• Weight and feel of gun are pretty good considering so much plastic. 

• Pretty decent replica of a Colt 1911.

• Made in Japan.

Cons:

• Will need an optical sight of some sort or will have to take off sight rail to use built in sights.

• Drop out magazine is all plastic.

• Not many working parts.

Comments:

I’m not really a big fan of all plastic non-blowback airguns but I am willing to give the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol a chance since it does have some things going for it like high fps which I know is important to many of you. The Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol also has a really nice double action trigger which should make shooting it easy and fun. The sight rail also gives the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol a lot of versatility when it comes to making the Daisy Powerline 5170 your own by adding on pretty much any accessory you can imagine.

Another Field Test Shooting Video Review coming for the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Airgun Shooting Range! In todays Shooting Review I test out the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver using both 4.5mm 5/1 grain Steel BB’s and .177 Caliber 6.9 grain Lead Pellets to see how well they perform in velocity and accuracy. As always I use a brand new CO2 for my velocity testing and for reference the temperature during my testing in the Sea Can was 23 degrees Celsius or 73 degrees Fahrenheit. For my accuracy portion of the shooting test I use a rested and seated shooting position shot 30 feet away from my fresh paper targets.

View fullsize

Starting off with the velocity or power potion of my Field Test Shooting Video for the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver. I first used the 4.5mm Steel BB shells and shot 3 rounds through my Chronograph averaging 369 fps. I then loaded up the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver with pellet shells and again placed three .177 caliber lead pellets through my Chrony and got a very similar result with an average of 361 fps. Keep in mind the lead pellets where 6.9 grain versus the steel BB’s at only 5.1 grain, so the lead pellets will be carrying more raw energy at the point of impact even though they where going just a tad bit slower than the steel BB’s.

View fullsize

In terms of accuracy both rounds performed about the same shooting at my paper target 30 feet away. Since the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver has a 6 round cylinder I shot 6 sounds for each test, 6 steel BB’s and then 6 lead pellets. I also changed the targets for each type of ammo between reloading. I found the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver shot fairly close to the bullseye, l but with both the Steel BB’s and lead pellets I got one outlier that spread out my groupings significantly, the other 5 rounds where all close being about 2 inches apart? Perhaps it was a bad or misshaped round, or maybe even me ;) I did notice the lead pellets seemed to have a really nice 4 round group out of the 6 that all fell within the bullseye. Hard to really say if BB’s or pellets performed better than the other one at least in my testing.

View fullsize

Overall the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver shot well for me, the trigger is nice and short and light making placing your shots easy, of course since it is a single action only trigger you kind of need to reset yourself between every shot which can effect groupings just a bit. Since the barrel is not rifled with no danger of damaging the rifling, you can really shoot what ever ammo type you feel like shooting or have on hand and since Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolvers get about the same speed and accuracy then it really doesn’t matter that much at the end of the day!

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the single action only Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is what you would expect from a pistol of this design. Like the Colt Single Action Army the trigger pull is very short, light and crips, perfect for taking your time and getting a precise shot on target. You will of course have to cock the hammer manually before each shot ao no real action shooting.

View fullsize

Accuracy: I have not tested the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Airgun Range but plan to get to it shortly. I will test out both 4.5mm Steel BB’s and some .177 caliber lead Pellets and see how the different ammo types effect both power and accuracy. Keep in mind the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver has a smooth bore barrel but I am pretty sure pellets will still perform well at 30 feet away.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is built a lot like the Webley MK VI .455 CO2 Shell Loading Revolver line, perhaps even made in the same factory in Taiwan? The Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is pretty much an all metal construction other than the plastic grips and any internal seals. The fit and finish is excellent with a great overall weight in the hand. The pistol grips is a lot like what you have with the Colt Single Action Army pistol but the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is a lot more front end heavy because of its beefy barrel.

View fullsize

Realism: In terms of replicating a real steel Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver for sure looks and feels that part. The reassessed barrel and well hidden CO2 screw don’t give anything away that the Airgun version is not the real deal. But as with all of these shell loading Airgun Revolvers, the shells are actually closer to a .380 Caliber in diameter rather than a 45 which is what the real steel Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver would be designed for.

Available in the: Replica Airguns Store

View fullsize

Pros:

• If you are like a bulky revolver with good weight to it then the Bear River Schofield No. 3 is it.

• Can shoot Steel BB’s or Pellets since it comers with both shell types.

• Recessed barrel.

• Well concealed CO2.

• Shell loading design that loads from the back so no need to remove shells if you wish not to.

• Single Action Only hammer and trigger action feel good, nice and light with short take-up and release.

• Fairly discreet safety location right behind the hammer so easy to get at.

• Super easy to load, pellet shells can even be reloaded with shells in the gun if you are using the pellet shells.

• Really like the Nickel Finish on this gun.

• Can get simulated Ivory grips for it if you prefer that look.

Cons:

• Sights are not adjustable.

• Warning instructions on side of the frame.

• Barrel is not rifled for pellet use?

• Only a Single Action Only Hammer and Trigger but true to the style of the gun.

Comments:

Yet another classic shell loading CO2 BB Revolver, and again the more the merrier in my option! I like that you get 12 shells with our kit version, 6 removable shells for 4.5mm Steel BB’s and 6 removable shells for .177 caliber Pellets. The Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is for sure a hefty revolver but the pistol grip is not super large so even people with smaller hands should not have a problem shooting the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver. The real problem is deciding which Shell Loading Airgun Revolver to buy now since we have so many to choose from… Classic or modern, nickel or black, or perhaps weathered?

Here we have three very different products I Unbox and Preview for everyone. A Spring Piston multi-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle, a single action BB/Pellet revolver that’s not a Colt! And a really nice looking Semi Auto Blank Pistol in a Chrome finish.

View fullsize

Let’s start with the Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle. I think this is a really well thought out Air Rifle. It’s “almost a Bullpup” in design but it does actually load in front of the trigger just a bit, that said most of the spring piston is behind the trigger setup making it really compact yet with a longer than normal barrel compared to regular Break Barrel Spring Piston Air Rifles. The Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle also has a side lever cocking mechanism along with a 5 round auto indexing magazine which makes it much quicker to cock and reload for fast follow-up shots, again compared to a standard Break Barrel Air Rifle, not to mention no barrel droop! The Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle has a claimed fps of up to 500 so we are getting the max amount of velocity possible for our Canadian laws without making it a regulated firearm and requiring a PAL license. And by the way the Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle does come in both a Lime Green and all Black version just in case you are not a fan of the Lime Green finish I show in this video.

Moving onto the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica, if you like single action revolvers then take a look at the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica. It’s a lot more bulky than a Colt Single Action Revolver and also has that top Break design that makes reloading quick and easy. The version we are selling inner Replica Airgun Online Store is the kit version that comes with 6 BB shells and 6 pellet shells so you can take your pick on ammo types. The barrel is not rifled so Steel BB’s will not hurt the Airgun and since pellets are skirted they do not need a rifled barrel to fly straight and true. You can expect around 445 fps for the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica.

Last up is one of my favorite Blank firing Semi Auto Pistols which I have already full reviews in the all Black version so checkout those Video Reviews for more info on the ROHM RG-88 line of Front Firing 9mm Blank Pistols. All I really wanted to show you guys with the ROHM RG-88 9mm PAK Blank Pistol in Polished Chrome is how awesome it looked with the Polished Chrome finish and that we do have more choices now than we use to have in terms of what finish you can get your ROHM RG-88 in. Personally I like the Polished Chrome finish the best but you can also get it in all Black and Matte Chrome, so you decide which one you like the best.

If you have not already checked out my Table Top Video then make sure to do so for more details and specifications and also some nice close up video of the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. In this video we see how well the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol performs in the Replica Airguns Indoor See Can Airgun Shooting Range. I test out the velocity and accuracy and also talk a little bit about how the gun performed overall for me. You can also checkout my Table Top and Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Glock 17 3rd Gen as it is mechanically very similar to the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol.

Starting off with my velocity power test using my  Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph, I was able to get really close to the factory claimed fps of 360 with an average of 347 fps. Shooting conditions where decent in the See Can compared to outside temperatures in late October but still not that warm at only 16 Degrees Celsius (60 Degrees Fahrenheit), a lot warmer than outside but still not as warm as your typical summer day. In warmer conditions I am sure I would have hit the claimed 360 or even high fps with the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol.

View fullsize

Next for my Field Testing , I placed 10 shots into a paper target with my Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol from 30 feet down range using my standard seated and rested shooting position (Seated in the back and rested on a sand bag up front). I was able to get right around a 2 inch 10 shot group, not bad at all! The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol did shoot a little bit high and to the left which for some reason is common with most CO2 action airguns and I know it’s not entirely me since others have commented the their airguns shoot a bit to the left in most cases. Elevation was pretty close at 30 feet but just a tad high.

The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is very similar to their Umarex Glock 17 3rd Gen in terms of their mechanical build and function since both use the same magazines and have that semi blowback action but I can say the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol not only looks better in my opinion but the slide is improved as it seems to have a less metallic sound and the slide wiggle is very minimal. The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol also did not lack in the performance department getting really close to the the claimed 360 FPS while shooting about the same 10 round grouping of 2 inches which is about what I expect for an action BB shooter. Now we have a bunch of Umarex Glocks to chooses from, checkout our Replica Airguns Canada and US Online Stores for Glock airguns and find one that’s right for you!

Type: Blowback CO2 BB Pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by Umarex.
Model: Glock 19X.
Materials: Metal & Polymer.
Weight: 1.5 pounds (662 grams).
Barrel: Smooth bore 3.36 inch barrel (85.3mm).
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto blowback, double action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 18 round drop out full size metal magazine.
FPS: Claimed 360.

View fullsize

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is what I would call a double action trigger mainly because there is an indexing of the BB from the magazine into the breach area every time you pull the trigger which means the take up is longer thanks a standard Glock take up and there is a little bit of friction from the mechanical mechanism that indexes the BB making the trigger feel more like a double action only trigger.

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol so I can only quote what Umarex is saying in terms of FP2 which is 360. That said I have already done a full Table Top and Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol which is essentially the same mechanical gun but with a slightly longer slide and barrel. In my Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol I was able to get a 5 shot average fps of 363 in a bit cooler shooting conditions along with 2 inch 10 shot grouping from a 30 foot shooting distance.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol seems to be really well made. Fit and finish are nice and slide wiggle is minimal. There is a bit of a clanky sound when the slide cycles but not as bad as the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. I also think the Coyote finish is the nicest looking with its black on tan two tone look.

Realism: The Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol absolutely looks the part of a Glock 19X, sitting on the table and even holding it in your hand you are going to think it's the real deal until of course you drop the magazine and see that it is a CO2 mag. Mostly everything operates like a real Glock 17 but the slide is not a full blowback meaning it only goes back about 3/4 as much as a real Glock 17 slide would. One other noticeable difference is the ability to quickly field strip the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol, you will need to remove a pin since the take down tabs are non functioning and moulded into the frame.

Pros:

• Nice weight and feel to it, build quality seems good.

• Really nice looking replica of the real steel Glock 19X, love the Coyote color.

• Fully Glock licensed.

• Easy to see white dot sights front and back.

• Recessed barrel for added realism.

• Accessory rail for adding a laser or tactical light.

• Full size drop out metal magazine that holds the CO2 and 18 4.5mm steel BB’s.

• Safety built into the serial number plate area keeps it well hidden. 

• Warning instruction are nice and discreet under trigger guard

• Not bad feeling double action only trigger as the blowback pre-cocks the internal hammer/strike.

• 360 fps is decent for a blowback BB gun.

Cons:

• Does have blowback action but not full blowback.

• Slide sound is a bit clanky but not as bad as the 17 Gen 3 Blowback.

• Sight are non-adjustable which is common with low cost action shooters like this one.

• Would have liked to have seen more pristine packaging from Glock over the plastic clamshell

Comments:

It’s great to see Umarex expanding their live of Glock licensed Airguns and the addition of the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is welcome! Some of you are not going to like the semi blowback action but it does mean you get higher fps and more shots per CO2 while still getting that simulated recoil form the blowback action. I honestly thing the Umarex Glock 19X CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is one of the most attractive Glock Airguns with it’s Coyote Tan frame and slide with black highlights, I also like the compact size for its shortened frame and slide over the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. So many to choose for now but I guess that a good thing or perhaps just get them all!

What’s going on next week?

I will be away competing in a Body Building Fitness Contest so there will not be any more videos that week.

You may have noticed I have been withering away this past couple of months. This is in preparation for a Fitness Contest I am going into. For a show like this you need to be super lean to be competitive.

I have been competing since 2015 mainly in Men’s Physique and have qualified myself over the years to compete at the National level in Amateur Body Building.

The competition I am going to is the GNC / ALLMAX Canadian National Pro Qualifier in Toronto. If I do really well I can possibly get an IFBB Pro Card. Getting an IFBB Pro Card means I would now be able to compete in Pro Body Building competitions.

In order to win the Pro Card I would need to win my hight class and then win the overalls against the other winners in their hight class.

To date I have come close to winning the IFFB Pro Card but just missed it on two occasions. I am hoping to get the IFBB Pro Card this times around but I know the competition will be very competitive.

In this Field Test Shooting Video I focus on Umarex’s latest CO2 Blowback BB Airgun, the Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. We have been waiting a while for this one to ship and now that it’s here I really want to get to shooting it and finding out if it performed as good as it looked and felt.

I loaded up my Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol with a brand new 12 gram Sig Sauer CO2 cartridges along with some 4.5mm RWS 5.1 grain Zinc coated BB’s and began the Chronograph portion of my Indoor Field Test Shooting Video. The temperature was not overly warm sitting right around 19 degrees Celsius or 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Umarex claims roughly around 300 fps from the Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol but I was able to get just a bit high with my 5 shots through the Chronograph averaging 310 fps.

View fullsize

I then put up a paper target 30 feet down range, reloaded my full size drop out metal magazine with 10 more steel BB’s and proceeded to carefully place the 10 shots into the target using a rested and seated shooting position. I was able to get around a 3.5 inch grouping but I feel I could have done better since several rounds actually shot one on top of the other. The Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol did shot just a little bit low and to the left but not a lot.

View fullsize

I really like the trigger on the Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol, it’s short and light, perfect for shot placement and also action shooting. The blowback action is nice and crisp giving the Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol just enough blowback recoil effect. I didn't have any issues with the Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol which makes for the best testing and out of all the Umarex Glocks to date the Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is by far my favorite version! If you already have and Umarex Glock, that’s OK get this one too, you won’t be disappointed.

Type: Blowback CO2 BB Pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by Umarex.
Model: Glock 17 Gen 4.
Materials: Metal & Polymer.
Weight: 1.7 pounds (771 grams).
Barrel: 3.6 inches metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto blowback, single action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 18 round drop out full size metal magazine.
FPS: Claimed 300.

View fullsize

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is single action only so you will need to rack the slide first to not only chamber a 4.5mm Steel BB in the breach area but to also cock the internal striker. There is a working trigger safety on the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol and you’ll also find the Glock 17 Gen 4 has a nice short and light trigger as you would expect similar to the real steel Glock. Perfect for fast action shooting!

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol so I can only quote what Umarex is saying in terms of FP2 which is 300. That sounds reasonable based on other Airguns like this that have that full blowback action since much of the CO2 gas is used to work the action of the slide. This not only reduces how many shots you can expect o get out of a single 12 gram CO2 cartridge but a reduction in power over non-blowback or even partial blowback CO2 Airguns.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol looks to be well made overall with metal and plastic parts where you would find them on a real steel Glock 17 Gen 4. Fit and finish are nice and the slide wiggle is next to zero. The slide spring is very heavy and the sound of the slide when racked and released does not have that cheap metallic sound some blowback Airguns have. I am expecting some pretty decent blowback action recoil from the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol when I do my Field Test Shooting Review!

View fullsize

Realism: The Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol 100% looks the part of a Glock 17 4th Generation, sitting on the table and even holding it in your hand you are going to think it's the real deal until of course you drop the magazine and see that it is a BB/CO2 mag. Mostly everything operates like a real Glock 17 including the slide catch release, trigger safety, magazine release and even the take down switches for quick field stripping and access to the adjustable hop-up, yes it is adjustable.
Available From: The Replica Airguns Store.

View fullsize

Pros:

• Good weight and feel to it, build quality seems very good.

• Really nice looking and full featured replica of the original Glock 17 Gen 4.

• Fully Glock licensed through Umarex.

• Easy to see white dot sights front and back.

• Recessed barrel for added realism.

• Accessory rail for adding a laser or tactical light.

• Full size drop out metal magazine that holds the CO2 and 18 4.5mm steel BB’s.

• Slide spring feels heavier than most full blowback Airguns, should have a heavy blowback recoil effect.

• Safety built into the serial number plate area keeps it well hidden.

• Comes with additional Backstraps for different sized hands.

• Warning instruction are nice and discreet under trigger guard.

• Great feeling single action only trigger as the blowback pre-cocks the internal hammer/strike.

• 300 fps is decent for a full blowback BB gun.

Cons:

• FPS could be higher but fairly inline with other full blowback CO2 air pistols.

• Sight are non-adjustable which is common with low cost Airguns like this one.

• Would have liked to have seen more pristine packaging from Glock..

Comments:

I know everyone has been waiting for Umarex to release the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol and here it is finally, does it live up to all the hype and excitement? So far without shooting it I have to say yes, I am very pleased with how the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol looks and feels. There is not too much more you can ask for in a replica Airgun of any kind… it looks like the real steel version, it feels like there real steel version, it functions like there real steel version. Hopefully it shoots just as well! If you haven’t bought one of the Umarex Glocks so far then this one is the one to have, but I say why not have them all :)

Type: BB air pistol.
Manufacturer: KWC.
Model: Makarov PM NBB.
Materials: Mostly metal.
Weight: 1.76 pounds (800 grams).
Barrel: 3 inches, metal smooth bore.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto, double action only.
Ammunition Type: Steel BB's 4.5mm.
Ammunition Capacity: 18 rounds.
FPS: 394 fps/ 120 m/s.

View fullsize

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the KWC Makarov PM CO2 NBB BB Pistol is pretty decent for a double action only trigger, certainly light enough for some fairly fast action shooting without tiring your trigger finger too much. It would have been nice to have been able to cock the hammer for some slower and more precise single action shots.

View fullsize

Accuracy: So far I have not had the chance to test out the shooting performances for the KWC Makarov PM CO2 NBB BB Pistol, but I am expecting it to get sub 2 inch 10 shot groupings from 30 feet out and hopefully the KWC Makarov PM CO2 NBB BB Pistol will chronograph in close to the 400 claimed fps. Watch for my Field Test Shooting Video down the road.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The KWC Makarov PM CO2 NBB BB Pistol is a pretty basic CO2 BB Airgun, basically two metal halves of the frame screwed together and not a lot of working parts. It’s almost all metal except for the grips and hammer and has a good weight and solid feel to it so I expect it to hold up well over time. The fit and finishes seem just fine but it does have some noticeable seems going all around the Airgun where the two halves join together.

View fullsize

Realism: The KWC Makarov PM CO2 NBB BB Pistol at first looks like a real steel Makarov, it’s about the right size and weight, has a recessed barrel and no CO2 tab on the bottom so overall a good looking replica. It’s when you look a little bit closer look that you can really tell, from the lack of an open ejection port to the small screws on the right hand side of the KWC Makarov PM CO2 NBB BB Pistol. When you start to play around with it you will notice the hammer is plastic and only for show and of course not being a blowback gun the slide and slide catch release do not function at all.

View fullsize

Pros:

• Full metal frame.

• All metal full size drop out magazine that holds the BB’s and CO2.

• Working safety, and magazine release.

• Because it’s NBB it will get higher fps and more shots per CO2.

• No ugly CO2 tab on the magazine.

• Seems to have a decent double action only trigger.

• Very affordable at around $70 Canadian.

• Less moving parts means less to go wrong for longer reliability.

Cons:

• No blowback operation so no single action trigger or simulated recoil.

• Ejection port is not cut out and hammer is only for show.

• Has those ugly screws on one side of the frame.

Most of you probably already know I am a bit of a Blowback operation Airgun snob so when I review Non Blowback Airguns I am generally not as excited. What can I say, I just like the simulated recoil Blowback offers and the fact that Blowback Airguns will generally allow for a much lighter and shorter single action trigger. The plus side to a Non Blowback Airgun is going to be four main points: Usually a lower price tag, faster fps, more shots per CO2 and better longevity of the gun since there are a lot less moving parts to wear or break. It really come down to what you prefer, but the good news is you can have your choice of a Non Blowback Makarov like the KWC Makarov PM CO2 NBB BB Pistol or you can go with the blowback KWC Makarov PM CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. Or better yet, why not both!

View fullsize

Type: BB air pistol.
Manufacturer: Air Venturi - KWC.
Model: Springfield Armory 1911 Mil-Spec.
Materials: Pretty much all metal build.
Weight: 2 pounds (907 Grams).
Barrel: 4.38 inchesBrass, non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x1.
Action: Semi auto blowback, single action only.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm Steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 18 rounds.
FPS: 320.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Air Venturi Springfield Armory 1911 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is like all the other KWC made CO2 full blowback 1911's, it's exactly what you would expect from a real steel 1911 single action only pistol which helps to make this replica 1911 a great trainer or show piece. So in other words the trigger pull is super short, super light with very little take-up and a nice crisp break.

View fullsize

Accuracy: I have not shot this "exact version" of the KWC Air Venturi 1911 but it will undoubtedly perform very much like all the other incarnations. I can expect decent under 2 inch groupings from 30 feet out and will get a little over 300 fps on a full CO2 cartridges as long as it’s decently warm out. Depending on how fast I shoot off my magazines, I should expect to get around 3 good mags and if I slow things down a bit I should get a forth magazine so anywhere from 50-70 good or so shots per CO2 out of the Air Venturi Springfield Armory 1911 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. I may or may not make a Field Test Shooting Video for the Air Venturi Springfield Armory 1911 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol…

Build Quality: Very good, with almost all metal construction, good weight and craftsmanship, the KWC 1911 line of pistols have proven themselves over time, that said they will not last forever since these are not expensive guns made out of high quality metals. You will find most of these KWC pistols in general have a rather thin coating for a finish and so they tend to wear a bit on the high spots but over time this has been improving with KWC made Airguns.

View fullsize

Realism: This is as close as you can come to the look, weight, feel, and action of the real 1911 in virtually almost every way including the ability to field strip this pistol exactly the same! All the mechanical parts work just like they do on a real steel 1911 including the grip safety. On top of all of this Air Venturi has licensed the Air Venturi Springfield Armory 1911 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol with very realistic Springfield branding thought the Airgun.

View fullsize

Available at the: Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• All metal construction - Good weight and solid feeling gun.

• Heavy blowback action with that 1911 sluggish feel.

• Very Accurate 1911 A1 styled replica in pretty much every way.

• True 1911 Single action trigger, excellent pull, very smooth and light.

• Working backstop safety

• 3 dot white sights help with target acquisition on darker backgrounds.

• Could mix and match other KWC 1911 parts.

• Springfield Armory licensed by Air Venturi.

• Good accuracy, not too bad amount of shots for this style of gun about 3 good magazines.

Cons:

• Non adjustable sights.

• Sacrifice fps and shots per CO2 because of the heavy blowback action but worth it.

• Not  Available at time of video.

Comments:

I really never get tired of making reviews for the KWC 1911 line of CO2 Blowback Airguns, sure they are all made from the same base KWC 1911 Aigun but each one has its own unique look and customization to it. I really like the Faux plastic wood grips with the deep Springfield Armory licensing on this version. And the matt black slide and frame with the chrome barrel and silver barrel bushing really look sharp on this 1911 BB Gun. Even though the Air Venturi Springfield Armory 1911 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is basically a standard 1911 A1, the added touch of the White Dot sights will for sure help when shooting this Blowback BB Gun at what ever target you point it at.

Lots of CO2 BB Rifles getting reviewed these days and that’s kind of awesome, I remember a few years back and we barely had any realistic Replica BB rifles available to us. Now we have an ever increasing list of choices from Historical to Modern.

Todays Field Test Shooting Video focusses on the Air Venturi Springfield Armory M1 Carbine CO2 BB Rifle, I have not done my Table Top Video yet for it but I did make a preview video where I show it around a bit and talk about some basic specs. In short the Air Venturi Springfield Armory M1 Carbine CO2 BB Rifle is a CO2 powered semi auto 4.5mm Steel BB firing replica of the Springfield Armory M1 Carbine. It holds the CO2 and 15 rounds of Steel BB’s in its full size drop out metal magazine. Available with a plastic or upgraded wood stock.

View fullsize

For the Field Test Shooting part of this review I tested out the power and accuracy of the Air Venturi Springfield Armory M1 Carbine CO2 BB Rifle by first shooting 5 rounds through my Chronograph to establish the Feet Per Second velocity. I then placed a fresh paper target 30 feet downrange, while using a rested and seated shooting position I fired off 10 rounds into the target to see how tight of a group I can get with the Air Venturi Springfield Armory M1 Carbine CO2 BB Rifle. I used a brand new CO2 along with 5.1 grain 4.5mm Zinc coated Steel BB’s. The temperature was a conservative 22 degrees Celsius or 71 degrees Fahrenheit.

During my Chronograph velocity test I was a bit surprised to only obtain an average of 335 fps from the Air Venturi Springfield Armory M1 Carbine CO2 BB Rifle. Air Venturi claims closer to 425 so I am not sure why it was nearly 100 fps lower than claimed but perhaps the CO2 did not pierce as well as it could have, that said 335 fps does get the job done when shooting targets 20-30 feet away.

View fullsize

In terms of accuracy I was very pleased with the Air Venturi Springfield Armory M1 Carbine CO2 BB Rifle, it kind of made up for the slower than expected feet per second by getting a sub 1 inch 10 round group and I am not a big fan of peep sights so I was really not expecting these results. Right out of the box the Air Venturi Springfield Armory M1 Carbine CO2 BB Rifle shot pretty close to the bullseye, just s slight bit to the left and about 1-2 inches high. The rear sight is adjustable for elevation so that can be taken care of pretty easy.

All in all I really like the Air Venturi Springfield Armory M1 Carbine CO2 BB Rifle other than the lower than expected fps which may have been something to do with my rifle? I will have to try a fresh CO2 with it sometime to see if this can be improved but even with the lower velocity the Air Venturi Springfield Armory M1 Carbine CO2 BB Rifle performs well hitting what ever you are shooting at with excellent accuracy. The blowback action gives the Air Venturi Springfield Armory M1 Carbine CO2 BB Rifle just enough recoil feel to tap your shoulder a bit and of course give you that nice short and light single action only trigger.

Make sure to watch my Table Top Video Review for the Crosman Bushmaster MPW CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun for all the details and specifications. And if you have not already taken a look at the Crosman DPMS SBR CO2 Blowback BB M4 then watch those video reviews since both guns are very similar internally with some cosmetic differences.

View fullsize

The purpose of my Field Test Shooting Video is to find out how the airgun being reviewed performs in terms of velocity and accuracy, and if the ratings on paper end-up being the same or close to the tested results. Crosman claims the Crosman Bushmaster MPW CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun is capable of shooting 5.1 grain 4.5mm Steel BB’s at up to 430 fps. When I tested the Crosman Bushmaster MPW CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun using my Chronograph averaging out 5 shots using a brand new set of CO2 cartridges I averaged 385 fps. Note the temperature in my Indoor Airgun Sea Can Shooting Range was not super warm at about 20-22 degrees Celsius or right around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. I was able to get 405 fps from the Crosman DPMS SBR CO2 Blowback BB M4 but I have a feeling the temperate may have been a little bit warmer for the DPMS SBR Testing which does help to increase the fps.

View fullsize

Moving on to the accuracy portion of this Field Test Shooting Review for the Crosman Bushmaster MPW CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun, I loaded up the 25 round magazine with the maximum amount t it would hold and then placed 10 semi auto shots on my paper target setup 30 feet downrange. I was using a rested and seated shooting position to help minimize human factor. I was a bit surprised that the Crosman Bushmaster MPW CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun shot a 2.5 inch semi auto 10 shot group since the Crosman DPMS SBR CO2 Blowback BB M4 was able to get just under 1 inch when I performed the same test.

I then flipped the semi auto selector switch to full auto and dumped the remaining 15 rounds into my paper target in full auto mode and to my surprise the Crosman Bushmaster MPW CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun actually tightened up it’s grouping a little bit closer to 1.5 inches which is amazing in full auto mode with the airgun rocking around a lot due to the blowback action.

View fullsize

In summary the Crosman Bushmaster MPW CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun performed a lot like the Crosman DPMS SBR CO2 Blowback BB M4, just a little bit lower fps perhaps because of the difference in temperature when both of the airguns where tested. In semi auto mode I should have been able to get a tighter grouping, perhaps it was my performance on this day? But in full auto mode I was able to get nearly identical results as I shot with the Crosman DPMS SBR CO2 Blowback BB M4.

I think it really comes down to which of the Crosman AR type full auto BB rifles you like the look of since both are very capable shooters. Or just get both if you can’t decide :)

In this Field Test Shooting Review Video I test out both the 3.8 Compact and 4.5 Full Size Air Venturi Springfield Armory XDM Blowback CO2 BB Pistols to see how they perform in both velocity and accuracy. I thought it would be interesting to see how the shorter and longer barreled versions compare side by side and if we sill see a difference in power and down range accuracy…

As always I use a brand new 12 gram CO2 along with 5.1 gran zinc coated steel BB’s for my testing and on this day the temperature in the Sea Can Indoor Airgun range was around 24 degrees Celsius or 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

View fullsize

Starting with the Chronograph test I placed 5 rounds through each gun and averaged out the result. The 3.8 inch Compact Air Venturi Springfield Armory XDM Blowback CO2 BB Pistol averaged 281 fps while the 4.5 inch Full Size Air Venturi Springfield Armory XDM Blowback CO2 BB Pistol averaged 303 fps. So it looks like the additional .7 inches increases the velocity about 20 fps!

I then shot 10 steel BB’s from each Air Venturi Springfield Armory XDM Blowback CO2 BB Pistol on my paper target setup 30 feet down range using a rested and seated shooting position. The 3.8 Compact Air Venturi Springfield Armory XDM Blowback CO2 BB Pistol shot about a 2 inch grouping but seemed to shoot rather low, just outside the outer rings so about 3-4 inches below the bullseye. Windage was good pretty much dead center left to right on the target.

View fullsize

I did find the 4.5 Air Venturi Springfield Armory XDM Blowback CO2 BB Pistol to shoot a little bit low as well but not as low as the 3.8 XDM staying inside the rings and about 2 inches below the bullseye, again all within about 2 inches and well center left to right.

At the end of the day both the 3.8 and 4.5 Air Venturi Springfield Armory XDM Blowback CO2 BB Pistols perfumed flawlessly for me with really great SAO triggers and a nice heavy blowback feel giving a noticeable recoil effect. The 3.8 Springfield Armory XDM did shoot a little bit slower as expected and a little bit lower on the target. It all comes down to choice and there are many with the Air Venturi Springfield Armory XDM Blowback Air Pistols. Airsoft or Steel BB, 3.8 inch or 4.5 inch, all black or silver slide. You decide which one is best for you :)

This Review for the Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle is a bit different than most I do since usually I perform a dedicated Table Top and Field Test Reviews for each gun I review here on the Replica Airguns Website. I feel that since the Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle is such a “long gun” that showing it on the table would not work so well , plus it was a super nice day and I wanted to get outside and maybe even shoot a little bit.

I will be performing my usual Field Test Shooting video where I test the Feet Per Second and accuracy at 30 feet so stay posted for that. For now I will leave you with this outdoor “Show and Tell” review.

View fullsize

Specifications:

Type: CO2 BB Rifle.
Manufacturer: Umarex
Model: Umarex Legends Cowboy
Materials: Mainly metal with plastic stock.
Weight: 5.95 pounds (2699 grams).
Length: 38 inches total length
Barrel: 19.25 inch Metal non-rifled smooth bore.
Propulsion: Dual 12 gram CO2.
Action: Lever Action.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm Steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 10.
FPS: 410 fps.

View fullsize

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle is pretty much a single action only trigger since you will need to work the lever action to not only elect and chamber a shell but to also pre cock the hammer. Once the hammer is cocked and ready the trigger pull is short, light and crips, perfect for accurate shooting.

Accuracy: I have only shot 16 rounds through the Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle during the making of this review video and found the Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle to shoot right on target at 30 feet out. I did notice it shot just slightly high at this range but not a lot and it was dead center windage wise. For longer ranges you can adjust the rear sight to raise the barrel even more. In terms of power it’s hard to say what I was getting, Umarex says it should hit around 410 fps, I felt like it was pretty close to this , maybe a tad bit faster but I will find out for sure when I perform my Field Test Shooting Video Review shortly.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle looks and feels great coming in at nearly 6 pounds and built out of mostly metal with a plastic stock. Don’t be too put out by the plastic stock, it does mimmic the part of wood very well. All the metal parts have a semi-gloss or I would even say matt back finish and so far the paint is wearing pretty good, no noticeable paint coming off that I can see. The action works great with no failure to chamber, eject or shoot rounds.

Realism: The Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle is an awesome example of the classic lever action cowboy rifle. Having the ejecting shells makes it feel like you are shooting the real deal right from the time you start loading up the 10 shells into the pipe magazine, until you work that lever action and pull the trigger. Watching the ejected shells fly through the air is the icing on the cake :) There is not much more you can ask for from a BB firing replica Lever Action Cowboy Rifle!

View fullsize

Pros:

• Super realistic replica lever action BB firing Cowboy Rifle.

• Fully working lever action, chambers and ejects shells perfectly.

• Good weight and feel to it with lots of metal throughout.

• Everything works exactly like the real steel version.

• Duel CO2 to help get not only more shots before reloading CO2 but also a more consistent FPS from all shots.

• Adjustable rear sight for elevation.

• Comes with 10 rounds and can also use your Umarex Colt Single Action Army BB shells in it.

• Plastic imitation wood stock looks very much like real wood.

Cons:

• Stock is not real wood, hopefully Umarex offers a wood upgrade for it at some time.

• A bit low in FPS, why not take it right up to 499 fps since the US version has a 600 fps rating.

• Took too long for us to get it here in Canada!.

Comments:

The Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle is a perfect example of an Airgun company listening to their customers and bringing to market exactly what we are looking for, kind of like the Single Action Army Revolvers that came out a while back. These old cowboy guns are a blast to shoot from the time you pick up the rifle, insert 10 shells into the magazine, work the lever action, pull that trigger and then repeat 10 times. This is a must have for anyone looking for a super realistic BB rifle, even if you’re not an old west cowboy fan I think you will love shooting the Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle!

It felt like Christmas the other day when a bunch of Springfield Armory new products showed up at my door! So first off thanks to Air Venturi for sending me these new products for review. I already got my hands on the Springfield Armory XDM 3.8 and 4.5 GBB Airsoft version but have been wanting to also review the CO2 Blowback Steel BB versions.

Air Venturi not only sent me a Springfield Armory CO2 Blowback BB 3.8 all black and 4.5 Silver slide but also the Springfield Armory M1 Carbine CO2 Blowback Steel BB . As an added bonus I also received the wood stock for the M1 Carbine and the Springfield Armory 1911 CO2 Blowback Steel BB Pistol which I had no idea was even available!
