In this Vimeo Shootout Comparison Video I test head to head four Umarex CO2 BB GLock Air Pistols to see what the real world FPS is for each of them and I also give a little bit of my feedback on them at the end of the video. If you are wondering about their accuracy that will be covered in my next video coming out really soon…
And by the way I you want a little more info on these four Umarex Glock Air Pistols then Checkout my Table Top Comparison Video I made earlier for them.
Here are the Umarex Glock CO2 BB Pistols I test out in this Video Review:
I have review all three of these super fun Full Auto CO2 BB Rifles so make sure to watch those YouTube Field Test Video Shooting Reviews to see how they performed on their own in the Sea Can Indoor Airgun Shooting Range.
In this Field Test Shooting Video I have a little bit of fun to see which of the three Full Auto CO2 BB Rifles is the King in terms of FPS Velocity and all out full auto mag dump acuracy.
All there of these BB Rifles are awesome and I highly recommend picking one up or maybe even all of them! You can get them in our Canada and US Replica Airgun Stores…
There is not much to really say here, it’s all about watching this one as I basically shoot stuff with the Air-Ordnance SMG 22 Full Auto Pellet Rifle and figure out how many 100 round belts I can get out of a fully charged 3000 PS 48 CU PCP Tank. So make sure to watch this one for sure!
There have been lots of requests for me to get to the Field Test Shooting Video for the Air-Ordnance SMG 22 Full Auto Pellet Rifle and I know I have been a it late getting this one out there. To be honest I was not looking forward to pumping up the rather large PCP tank and loading up all the 100 round magazines but it had to be done and so here we are…
In this Part 1 of my Air-Ordnance SMG 22 Full Auto Pellet Rifle Field Test Review I perform my usual Sea Can Indoor Shooting Test and place some rounds through my Chronograph to see what the actual FPS is. I also shoot a 10 round group at a paper target 30 feet down range to see what kind of accuracy we can expect from the Air-Ordnance SMG 22 Full Auto Pellet Rifle. By the way in Part 2 I take my Air-Ordnance SMG 22 Full Auto Pellet Rifle outside to have some fun with it and blast away in full auto so make sure to watch that video coming out very soon…
The Air-Ordnance SMG 22 Full Auto Pellet Rifle with a full PCP tank pressurized right up to the max 3000 psi and using 15.43 grain lead pellets was able to get an average fps of 422 which worked out to 6.1 foot pounds of energy or about 8.3 Joules. By the way I was able to get through 3 full 100 round magazines with a fully charged 48 CU Tank which is impressive. Shots did slow down a bit at the end but the gun was able to cycle fully.
In terms of accuracy my Air-Ordnance SMG 22 Full Auto Pellet Rifle was not the most accurate performer I have tested but considering it is a full auto Airgun and not so much made for total accuracy, the 3 inch 10 shot grouping I did get was good enough for me! Of course I was shooting in semi auto mode during this test which is pretty easy to do, no selector switch to worry about, just don’t hold the trigger down and you get semi auto shooting from the Air-Ordnance SMG 22 Full Auto Pellet Rifle, hold it down and you get full auto, and the tighter you hold the trigger down the faster the air machine-gun rate of fire operates.
So far so good, no miss-feeds or any problems with my Air-Ordnance SMG 22 Full Auto Pellet Rifle. now to take it outside and let loose on some clay pigeons, pop cans and a metal target.
Make sure to watch my Table Top Review for the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol if you haven’t already done so to get all the specifications and features along with some nice close up video. In this Field Test Shooting video I test out the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol to find out what the real world velocity is and also just how accurate it will be shooting a paper target from 30 feet back using a rested shooting position. Since the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol is a target pistol I was hoping for good accuracy since the Diana Chaser performed so well for me in my earlier Field Test Shooting video this week. The Diana Bandit does have a claimed 700 fps velocity but I believe this is for the non-Canada detuned version so it will be interesting to find out exactly what the power is.
First up I placed 5 shots through my Chronograph with a fully charged PCP tank using 6.9 grain RWS lead pellets and got just over 500 fps results averaging 517 fps, so yes the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol has been detuned to make it Canada non-regulated legal.
Next I performed my accuracy test shooting at a paper target 30 feet down range with the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol rested on a sand bag up front and sitting in the back. Since the magazine holds 9 rounds I placed 9 round on the target to see what kind of grouping I could get. At first I was not sure why my 9 shot grouping seemed to be much more spread out than My Dianna Chaser results but after watching the video I saw that only one shot really came out of the 1 inch grouping not including the random accident shot I took. Perhaps I had a misinformed pellet or perhaps I pulled that one shot. That shot aside both the Diana Bandit and Chaser performed about the same, even shooting just a hair to the left from the bullseye.
The trigger feels pretty decent, not super light or to heavy, there is a little bit of take-up and then a slight resistance then a quick release. The bolt action along with the 9 round rotary magazine worked flawlessly for me with no jamming at all. For the low price this PCP Target Pellet Pistol comes in at you really can’t go wrong and if you want to modify or upgrade it down the road there are tons of things you can do to the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol. I highly recommend the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol if you are looking for a super affordable PCP target pellet pistol.

Since the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol is a target pistol I was hoping for good accuracy but based on the claimed 525 fps velocity I was also hoping for close to 500 fps results.
First up I placed 4 shots through my Chronograph using a brand new CO2 along with 6.9 grain RWS lead pellets and got pretty close to 500 fps results averaging 490 fps, not bad considering the temperature was not super warm and I was using led pellets not hyper velocity alloy pellets.
Next I performed my accuracy test shooting at a paper target 30 feet down range with the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol rested on a sand bag up front and sitting in the back. Since the magazine holds 9 rounds I placed 9 round on the target to see what kind of grouping I could get. I was impressed to see a nice 1 inch grouping, maybe even a little bit less removing the paper tearing. Shots where vertically right on the mark and just a tad to the left but easily fixable with a quick tweak of the full adjustable sights.

Type: Pellet Pistol Manufacturer:Diana. Model:Bandit Materials: Wood and Metal, some plastic. Weight: 2.2 pounds (1000 grams). Total Length: 20.1 inches (51 cm) Barrel: 9.5 inches (24 cm), metal rifled. Propulsion: PCP. Action: Bolt. Ammunition Type: .177 & .22 Caliber pellets. Ammunition Capacity: Single shot to 9 & 7 round magazines.. FPS: 725 (.177) - 630 (.22). Need to test for Canada import version
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol is single action only meaning in order to cock the internal hammer/striker, you need to cycle the bolt back and forth allowing for a short and light trigger action. It does come with a rotary multi-round magazine that allows for the cycling of the bolt to automatically advance a pellet allowing for much quicker followup shots.
Accuracy: At this point I have not personally tested the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol in terms of actual power and accuracy but I expect the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol to perform well since in fact this is a target pistol with fairly high claimed fps. In the next few weeks I plan on making my Field Test Shooting Video so stay posted for the results from that video for confirmation of the performance.
Build Quality: The Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol is made in China which might make you wonder about the overall quality of this target pistol but after taking a good look around and working all the mechanical parts I ma very impressed with the overall quality and chosen material that went into the production of the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol. You will finds metal where you need it as in the barrel, bolt and trigger. The pistol grip are made of wood but you will find some portions of the sights are plastic but it would have been nice if they where all metal.
Realism: Realism isn’t really a concern with the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol since it is not a Replica Airguns but in terms of looking like a gun it serves that purpose, no mistaken that so no waving it around in public or things may not turn out so good for you…
Pros:
Inexpensive fairly high quality full featured target pistol for the price.
Expect good accuracy!
Metal construction where it needs to be (Bolt, barrel, trigger).
Rifled barrel.
Fully adjustable sights.
Adjustable and light single action trigger.
Dove tail on bolt for adding optical sight.
Nice wood pistol grip.
Good for small pest control because of fairly high fps and expected good accuracy for shot placement ability.
Overall the gun feels really high quality for the price.
Even comes with a nice soft shell case.
Available in both .22 and .177 caliber pellet versions.
Cons:
Grips may be a bit too wide for smaller handed shooters.
Allen key does not fight the trigger adjustment.
Made in China.
Will need a pump or way to pressurize.
Comments:
For the price I don’t think you will find anything out there in terms of a PCP target pellet pistols with as many features as the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol. At least in the lower cost price point Diana is offering it at. For that reason it is not going to be the absolute best all around PCP pellet firing target pistol you can get but I am sure bang for your buck you will be happy with this one. Everything about the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol feels good quality, I would expect to pay at least double the price for something similar for sure. I have a feeling keeping the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol in stock is going to be a challenge for us so if you see it in stock don’t take too long making up your mind or you may be in for a bit of a wait.

My Vimeo Table Top Review for the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol:
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle is nice and short and light as would be expected form a bolt action sniper rifle. The take-up and release are virtually on existent, just nudge your finger a bit and this Airsoft rifle is firing a round down range.
Accuracy: So far I have not tested out the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle but from what I have seen watching other YouTube videos, it looks to be very accurate right out of the box. The version I have has the Canada import legal heavier spring so it should shout right around 366 fps or a tad higher using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. I will probably test mine out using heavier Airsoft BB’s when I perform my Field Test Shooting Video for the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle.
Build Quality: The Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle like all Tokyo Marui products is very well made, there is a lot of plastic in this Airsoft Sniper rifle but it is of good quality, you will find metal in the barrel and bolt areas of course. The trigger, safety and sling attachments are also metal.
Realism: The Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle is based off of your typical bolt action hunting rifle with not a lot fo bells and whistles other than the included adjustable open sights but you can pimp it out with a ton of aftermarket modifications including much suppresses, scope mounts for a scope, bipods and pretty much all the internal parts can be upgraded and swapped out.
Pros:
Not a clone so all aftermarket parts will work on and in it.
No CO2 or batteries required, ready when you are.
Expect excellent accuracy at most ranges.
Easy to adjust on the field Hop-up.
Super easy to operate bolt action and very nice trigger.
Comes with heavier spring installed so more powerful than standard version.
Comes with integrated fully adjustable sights, no need for a scope to start shooting.
Comes with sling mounts which make it Bipod compatible.
No red tip.
Cons:
Does not come with scope plate so you will need that if you plan to install a stope on it.
Front sight is taped on with double sided tape.
Cost is high compared to other Spring powered Airsoft rifles on the market..
Comments:
There are lots of clones out there of the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle but this is the real deal and so you will pay more for it for sure but you will get Tokyo Marui quality and performance. That can not be said for the clone versions. If you do plan on upgrading yours down the road the Tokyo Marui version will accept all the aftermarket add ons and parts which again the clones may not and so you could end up wasting your money on parts that don’t fit with the other versions. Something to keep in mind when adding up all the costs. One thing to be aware of with the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle is the bolt is a bit firmer with the upgraded spring dn so you need to make sure it is all the way forward before twisting and releasing. If you don’t it will not lock into place and you will end up scratching the back paint off of the area just in front of the safety, not a big deal, you can always touch it up easy enough.
My Vimeo Table Top Review for theTokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle:
Perhaps you might call this a followup video since I already made a full Field Test Shooting Video of the all black version of this pistol and you may wonder if the color of a gun could in some way effect how it performs? Well I don’t think color would really matter but it has been over 6 years since I did my original Field Test Shooting video fo the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver and so perhaps some things have changed, maybe my shooting is better or worse? At any rate let’s find out.
Starting off with my Chronograph test I was able to get an average 6 shot velocity of 348 fps which is about 40 fps less than my testing 6 years ago of 390 fps, perhaps the temperatures where a bit different? Perhaps the valve setups of the guns was not the same? By the way the temperature was 23 degrees Celsius in the indoor Airgun Sea Can Shooting Range and I was using a brand new 12 gram CO2 along with 5.1 grain zinc coated steel BB’s.
Moving on to the accuracy test, surely I would get a similar 1 inch 6 shot grouping from the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver, after all it’s been 6 years and I must be a much more advanced shooter… Well there again the Chrome Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum CO2 BB Revolver did not perform as well as the black one from my 2014 Field Test? Again maybe the steel BB’s I was using where not of the same quality? Maybe I simply had one too many espresso shots? As the video shows this time around I was only able to get about a 2 inch 6 shot grouping from the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver. Still not bad but I was hoping for better result or at least the same as before.
I could do this test again and get completely different results using perhaps another brand of CO2 on a warmer day with higher quality Steel BB’s and just maybe with me on my game a little bit better? At the end of the day 350 fps is perfectly fine for putting holes in pop cans and a 2 inch group at 30 feet will get you on most targets every time so I’m not going to sweat it too much. If you are looking for a shell loading CO2 BB Revolver the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver is for sure one of my top picks.
Type: BB air revolver Manufacturer:Umarex. Model: Colt Python 375 Materials: Almost entirely all Metal. Weight: 2.75 pounds (1218 grams). Barrel: 5.5 inches, metal non-rifled. Propulsion: 12 gram CO2. Action: Revolver, single & double actions. Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 6 round cylinder. FPS: 400.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver is good in both single and double action, it’s nice that you have the shorter lighter single action trigger for slower more accurate shooting but you can also blast away in double action when you feel like it. The hammer on the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver is firm with not very much wiggle which some other revolvers in this category do have.
Accuracy: Based on my results shooting the Umarex Colt Python 357 which is essentially the same gun in a different finish. The results I got shooting my 6 round group from a 30 foot out semi rested position where good overall. Vertically there was about a 2 inch spread while horizontally there was about a 1 inch spread. I did find the plastic tips on the brass shells seemed to be a bit tight at first and this is when I did most of my Chronograph and target shooting. I believe the tightness effected the consistency of the FPS which also effected the accuracy especially up and down. I did get one shot out of the Umarex Colt Python 357 well over the claimed 400 fps but again the fps was rather erratic most likely because of the snug BB fit due to shell break-in.
Build Quality: The Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver being mostly metal has a very good build quality and is on par with the Dan Wesson 715 shell loading revolver. It has a nice weigth adn balance to it and feels really good in the hand! The only real plastic I could find was in the grips and the shell tips. Fit and finish was also good with no noticeable chrome wear or sloppy workmanship. It will be interesting to see how the Chrome finish wears over time compared to the black finishes fodun on most KWC made Airguns.
Realism: TheUmarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver overall is a close copy a the real steel Colt Python 357 styled revolver. I did notice the rear portion of the receiver (between the rear cylinder and hammer) to be a bit longer perhaps to accommodate the CO2 valve length, but other than that, this pistol is super close to the original Colt Python 357 styled revolver it is based on. Again being all metal gives this CO2 BB revolver very realistic weight and feel and the loadable brass shells make using this gun almost exactly like using a real shell loading revolver but for much less cost per shot and of course a lot less recoil on the hands and noise to be had.
Pros:
Shells loading revolver give you the feeling of loading and shooting a real revolver.
Mostly all metal design.
Lots of detail, well made, chrome looks nice, not sure if it will wear better than the black finish found on most KWC made pistols?
Good overall weight, almost 3 pounds.
Should have good overall power, accuracy and shots per CO2 (based on my previous Colt Python testing).
Fully adjustable sights.
Well hidden CO2 Screw.
Recessed barrel.
Nice Trigger pull in both single and double action.
Cons:
Grips are a bit rough and wood grain is only OK.
Grips may be a bit large for people with small hands.
Decent enough Colt Python 357 replica but the frame is a bit long between the cylinder and the hammer.
Comments:
It’s been a while since I reviewed a Shell Loading Airgun and this one is pretty much the same Airgun I have reviewed in the past in both the KWC and Umarex Distributed forms. It has been almost 6 years since I took a look at one on my table and it still hods up today. I plan on performing another Field Test Shooting Review for the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver to see if I can replicate the same good results I did back in 2014 when I tested it out on my deck. If you’re looking for a shell loading revolver in the 357 design then for sure checkout the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver as an option.
My Vimeo Table Top Review for the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver:
Type: Airsoft Pistol. Manufacturer:KWC. Model: PT92 Materials: Almost entirely all Metal. Weight: 2.4 pounds (1089 grams). Barrel: 4.5 inches, metal non-rifled. Propulsion: 12 gram CO2. Action: Semi and full auto, single and double action with full blowback. Ammunition Type: 6mm Plastic Airsoft BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 27 rounds full size drop out metal magazine. FPS: 388 using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the KWC PT92 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is good in both single and double action. Of course in single action the trigger is much shorter and lighter but that said double action is still very usable. Once you fire a round in either double or single action the blowback action will continue to cock the hammer back allowing for single action followup shots.
Accuracy: The KWC PT92 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol performed OK during my Field Test Shooting review in terms of accuracy. I shot it first in semi auto to get a sense of the overall accuracy and in terms of elevation it was right in the middle of the target. I did find the shots spread out a bit side to side perhaps as much as 4-5 inches during my test grouping. As expected when I flipped the happy switch to full auto the KWC PT92 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol pretty much sprayed the target working its way up as the recoil from the full auto blowback action lifted the barrel. In terms of power the KWC PT92 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol shot pretty hot, I was using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s and was still able to achieve close to 400 fps.
Build Quality: The KWC PT92 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol like the other all metal KWC made Beretta 92 or Taurus PT92 copies out there being sold under different company names, is a good value blowback Beretta Taurus Airgun no matter which version you get. It’s not the best or worst, right about in the middle but most of the bugs have been worked out since it came out just after the KWC 1911 line and that’s been out for some time now. I find the finish does come off a bit easy but when this happens it kind of gives the Airgun a more realistic and slightly worn in look to it.
Realism: The KWC PT92 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is a One to One replica of the real steel Taurus PT92 and does a great job at replicating it. You would be hard pressed to see any differences in the Airgun version versus the 9mm caliber firing version until you pick one up and work the parts a bit. Even so pretty much all the mechanical parts work the same as a real steel Taurus PT92 including the ability to filed strip the Airgun version and gain access to the hop-up and other internal parts.
Pros:
All metal construction.
Full length blowback action with nice heavy recoil.
Accurate Taurus PT92 replica.
Single and double action triggers both feel good.
Double stack style metal magazine holds the CO2 and Airsoft BB’s.
No ugly white writing ( warning instructions) on the gun.
Fully filed strippable.
Adjustable Hop-up.
Recessed barrel for added realism.
FPS is fairly high for a full blowback gun.
Cons:
Finish on KWC guns can wear off quickly in the high spots but has gotten better over the years.
Full blowback action especially when in full auto mode will eat up a lot of CO2.
Comments: If you are a Beretta 92 or Taurus PT92 fan than I am sure you have already taken a look at the KWC line of Beretta 92 and Taurus PT92 Airguns, maybe in a steel BB version or Airsoft version? KWC first offered it in this PT92 style and then later brought out a more true to form Beretta 92 version. Depending on where you live and which model you buy you may or may not have the full auto feature but to be honest full auto is fun at first but then you realize you don’t really hit much with it and just end up wasting a lot fo CO2 and BB’s. Checkout our Replica Airguns Canada and US Stores for all the different versions and models of this KWC Beretta and Taurus style Airgun.
My Vimeo Video Review for the KWC PT92 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol:
Type: Airsoft Pistol. Manufacturer:KWC. Model: M1911 Materials: Almost entirely all Metal. Weight: 1.97 pounds (894 grams). Barrel: 4.5 inches, metal non-rifled. Propulsion: 12 gram CO2. Action: Semi auto, single action only with full blowback. Ammunition Type: 6mm Plastic Airsoft BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 14-15 rounds full size drop out metal magazine. FPS: 360+.
Trigger Pull: The Single Action Only trigger pull on the KWC M1911 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is exactly as it should be and just like what you would find on a real steel Colt 1911 pistol. That would be short, light and crisp. As there is no double action mode, you are required to rack the slide back to chamber a rounds and cock the hammer for the first shot, afterwards the blowback action will do this for you.
Accuracy: I wasn’t overly impressed with the accuracy of the KWC M1911 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol when I tested it out in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Range but it is what it is. The M1911 shot really high and a bit loose getting about a 5 inch 10 shot grouping, perhaps a hop-up adjustment was in order but this is how it shot right out of the box which is how I test all my Airguns. In terms of power the KWC M1911 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol was bang on shooting .25 gram Airsoft BB’s at right around 350 fps.
Build Quality: The KWC M1911 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol like the other all metal KWC made 1911’s out there being sold under different company names, is a good value Blowback 1911 Airgun no matter which version you get. It’s not the best or worst, right about in the middle but most of the bugs have been worked out since this is one of the longes CO2 1911’s out there and for the most part has stayed about the same. I find the finish does come off a bit easy but when this happens it kind of gives the 1911 Airgun a more realistic and slightly worn in look to it.
Realism: The KWC M1911 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is a One to One replica of the real steel M1911 A1 and does a great job at replicating it. You would be hard pressed to see any differences in the Airgun version and the .45 caliber firing version until you pick one up and work the parts a bit, even so pretty much all the mechanical parts work the same as a real steel M1911 A1 including the ability to filed strip the Airgun version and gain access to the hop-up and other internal parts.
Pros:
All metal construction.
Full length blowback action with nice heavy recoil.
Accurate Colt M1911 A1 replica.
Single action only trigger feels good, short light and crips.
Accurate trigger design and working grip safety.
Metal magazine holds the CO2 and 14-15 Airsoft BB’s.
No ugly white writing (warning instructions) on the slide of the gun.
Fully filed strippable.
Adjustable Hop-up.
Recessed barrel for added realism.
FPS is just about perfect, just over 360 fps using .20 gram BB’s, not too powerful but Canada import friendly.
Cons:
Finish on KWC guns can wear off quickly in the high spots but has gotten better over the years.
Full blowback action will eat up a lot of CO2.
Comments: I have always been a fan of the 1911 pistol and the KWC M1911 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is no exception to this. Like all of the KWC 1911’s out there being redistributed by the big airgun companies the KWC version is really no different other than more simple KWC branding and with no licensing on the Airgun to speak of. Some people prefer the cleaner look to it and some will like to have licensed versions, to each their own. Do some looking around on our website and find a KWC made 1911 you like best, perhaps a simple KWC M1911 A1 like the one reviewed here or maybe a more tactical version with all the more modern updates to it like a rail, ambidextrous controls and tactical triggers and hammers.
My Vimeo Video Review for the KWC M1911 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol:
If you have not already watched my Preview video for both of these Airsoft pistols then make sure to watch that video for details and specifications along with some nice tight shots of each Airsoft gun.
Another multi gun Field Test Shooting Review, in this Indoor Sea Can Field Test Shooting Video I test out the KWC M1911 and PT92 Full Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistols. I first place 5 6mm .25 gram plastic Airsoft BB’s through my Chronograph to find out what the real world velocity is for each Airsoft Pistol and then I perform my accuracy test where I shoot multiple rounds into a paper target 30 feet down range to see how close of a grouping I can get with each Airgun. I use a seated and rested shooting position to eliminate as much human factor as possible. By the way is used a brand new 12 gram CO2 and the temperature was 25 degrees Celsius (77 degree Fahrenheit) inside the Airgun Sea Can Shooting Range.
Starting with the KWC M1911 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol I averaged 351 fps with the fastest shot being 353 and the slowest shot 345, so very consistent for sure! Accuracy for the KWC M1911 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol could have been a bit better, I had to adjust my aim point to just under the bottom rings and even so the KWC M1911 wanted to shoot high, I was able to get around a 5 inch 10 shot grouping but was hoping for a bit better.
Next I tested out the KWC PT92 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol which does have a full auto option. For the velocity portion of my Field Test the KWC PT92 did shoot a bit after than the MWC M1911 getting an average fps of 388 with the fastest shot hitting 396 and the slowest shot at 383 so again very consistent performance. Since the KWC PT92 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is capable of full auto shooting I decided to shoot 5 rods on my paper target to get a base accuracy and this resulted in a bit of a lateral spread fairly close to the bullseye about 4-5 inches apart. I then did a mag dump and as expected pretty much sprayed 6mm Airsoft BB’s all over the place but most shot a bit high and to the left probably because of the blowback recoil action.
The KWC M1911 and PT92 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistols are both classic Airguns and great options if your looking for a 1911 or Beretta styled Airgun to add to your collection without all the markings and white writing on them.
This is a combined Filed Test Shooting Video for the KWC 2022 NBB - 24/7 NBB - 24/7 Blowback CO2 BB Pistols. I already made an update video for these KWC Steel BB Pistols since they are slightly different version I have not covered in any video beforehand.
As per my typical Field Test Shooting Videos I first place 5 shots through my Chronograph to test out the real world fps of each gun. I then shoot 10 rounds on a paper target setup 30 feet away using a seated and rested shooting position. My ammo for this test was 5.1 grain zinc coated 4.5mm Steel BB’s for all airguns along within a brand new 12 gram CO2. The temperature in my indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range was around 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) for this test.
First up was the KWC 2022 NBB 4.5mm CO2 Steel BB Pistol with an average five shot fps of 347. The KWC 2022 NBB 4.5mm CO2 Steel BB Pistol was the least accurate of the three Airguns tested on this day getting about a 5-6 inch 10 shot grouping. I did notice when I went to edit the video that it did shoot a double shot on the first shot which lowered that first shot making the group a bit larger. This may have been as a result of pulling the trigger with the safety on right before which probably loaded a round into the barrel followed by the second pull loading a second BB into the barrel.
I then tested out the KWC 24/7 NBB 4.5mm CO2 Steel BB Pistol which was by far the most powerful Airgun tested out of the three hitting a top fps of 452 with a five shot average of 420 fps! The KWC 24/7 NBB 4.5mm CO2 Steel BB Pistol was also fairly accurate getting a nice 2 inch 10 shot grouping, slightly to the left and just under the bullseye. Nothing wrong with that!
The last KWC 4.5mm Steel BB pistol for the day was my KWC 24/7 Blowback CO2 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol. The only only blowback single action shooter out of the bunch. As expected from a blowback CO2 Airgun the fps was lower averaging just under 300 fps (298 to be precise). The surprise of the day was the accuracy from the KWC 24/7 Blowback CO2 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol was the best out of this test group getting really close to a 1 inch grouping very well centered just a tad to the right but with near perfect elevation.
Depending on what you are going for, all of these Airguns are great choices. If you want ultimate power perhaps go for the KWC 24/7 NBB 4.5mm CO2 Steel BB Pistol with its 450+ fps, if you want accuracy and realism then I would suggest the KWC 24/7 Blowback CO2 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol with its full blowback action and excellent accuracy.
You’ve seen them all before but have you seen them in this exact configuration? All the Airguns I show off in this video are made by KWC and generally come in either Steel BB and or Airsoft versions along with non-blowback and blowback versions. You can even find most of them redistributed by other companies like Umarex, Cybergun, Gletcher, Crosman and others even licensed in some cases.
The versions I am showing today I have not review yet in these exact configuration and all of them are the KWC made and distributed unlicensed versions, so nice and clean with virtually none of that ugly white lettering on them…
In this Field Test Shooting Video I shoot the ASG CZ P-09 Threaded Barrel CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol in my indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range to see what the actual velocity is and also see how well it will group shooting 10 Airsoft BB’s at a paper target 30 feet down range. I was using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s for my testing purposes with Propane Gas as my propellant. The temperature inside the Sea Can was around 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit).
I started off my Field Test Shooting video with the Chronograph portion of my test and placed 5 shots through my Chrony using a brand new 12 gram CO2 cartridge. I have to mention the fps consistency was very impressive with all five shots only varying within 6 fps of each other the slowest being 330 fps and the fastest test shot being 336 fps. My end 5 shot average fps was 33fps again using a .25 gram Airsoft BB.
I then loaded my ASG CZ P-09 Threaded Barrel CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol with 10 rounds for the accuracy portion of my test and was able to get all 10 shots within a nice 2 inch grouping. The shot placement was well centered left to right and a little bit high on target which I am sure could be adjusted for using the hop-up.
The ASG CZ P-09 Threaded Barrel CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is a rally nice Airsoft pistol, it has a great trigger with a firm blowback action. The super consistent fps is pretty much exactly where you want it to be, just powerful enough to allow for Canada import but not too powerful for Airsoft gaming. The accuracy was also very good right out of the box so pretty much nothing to complain about in terms of performance. Another nice Airsoft product from ASG!
In this Field Test Shooting Video I shoot the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol in my indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range to see what the real world velocity is and also how well it will group shooting 10 rounds at a paper target 30 feet down range. I was using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s for my testing along with Propane Gas. The temperature inside the sea can was around 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit).
Because the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol coms with both a shorter internal barrel and a screw on extended barrel designed to be hidden inside a mock suppressor I thought it would make sense to test both the short and long barrels to see what the fps difference would be. With the short internal barrel I shot 4 rounds and average 255 fps. I then added the longer barrel extension again shooting 4 rounds but this time I averaged 363 fps so a good 100+ fps faster with the longer barrel attachment added to the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol.
For my accuracy portion of the testing I left the extended barrel on the gun but was a bit disappointed in my 10 shot grouping. The Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol did not get the tightest of groupings coming in at around 5 inches. It also shot a little bit to the right but vertically was fairly well centered. Perhaps changing up the barrels and lengths might make a difference?
I did really like the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol, it has a really light trigger that is a bit hard to find the release point, the blowback action is crisp but not overly heavy. I’m pretty sure the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is a VFC product so the quality is bang on. Other than the grouping being a little bit spread out I really liked everything about the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol.
Without the cool cameras there would be no cool Airgun videos and so when a company reached out to me and says… Hey, would you like to try out one of our new 4K Action cameras? I say sure! I can always use another high quality 4K camera for even more angles and who knows what else…
In this unboxing video I take a look at the SJCAM SJ10 Pro Action Camera to see what’s in the box obviously, what it looks like and what my first impressions of the SJCAM SJ10 Pro Action Camera are. I have to say the build quality is a lot better than I thought it was going to be, I’m pretty sure the main body is made out of metal and the crips looking lcd screen pretty much takes up the entire back of the camera. The camera is a lot smaller than I was expecting too which is a good thing since the more compact a camera is, the more likely I will be taking it along with me and using it.
Until I get the chance to play around with the SJCAM SJ10 Pro Action Camera fully and see what the quality and functionality are like, here are some of the specifications and details:
Sensor Brand: Sony IMX377.
Sensor Type: 7-Layer Glass with 2 aspherical glass lenses.
Video Resolutions: Up to 4K60fps without GYRO up to 4K30fps with Supersmooth GYRO Stabilization, Slow-motion 2,4,8x.
Type: Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol. Manufacturer: ASG Model:CZ P-09 Threaded Barrel. Materials: Metal and polymer construction. Weight: 2.3 Pounds (1050 grams). Barrel Length: 4.4 inches (11.2 cm). Total Length: 9 Inches (22.9 cm). Propulsion: CO2 Action: Single and double action. Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s. Ammunition Capacity: 25 round magazine. Max FPS: 376 fps.
Trigger Pull: The ASG CZ P-09 Threaded Barrel CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol has a single and double action trigger setup. Both feel pretty decent, the double action trigger pull is a little on the heavy side but you won’t really be shooting in double action all that much since the blowback action will cock the hammer between shots allowing for the vast majority of your shots to be single action which you will find are short and very light. There is a slight bit of take-up followed by a crisp very light release.
Accuracy: So far I have not made my Field Test Shooting Video for the ASG CZ P-09 Threaded Barrel CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol. Check back shortly for my upcoming Field Test Shooting Video for the ASG CZ P-09 Threaded Barrel CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol, until then the shooting results will remain a mystery but if this product is like otter ASG products it should produce good results for me .
Build Quality: The build quality of the ASG CZ P-09 Threaded Barrel CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is what I would expect from an ASG Airgun. The materials used look good and have an excellent finish to them. Slide wiggle is very minimal and all the mechanical parts feel solid and responsive. You will find metal parts where you would expect them to be like in the slide, barrel components, magazine, slide catch release take-down leaver, safety, hammer, trigger, rear sight, magazine release and lots of other internal parts.
Realism: In terms of realism the ASG CZ P-09 Threaded Barrel CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is an excellent copy of the real steel CZ P-09 with all the markings and licensing in all the right places. Mechanically everything works about the same including full field strip-ability and the ability to add a mock suppressor if you want to.
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.

Easily Filed Strippable.
Tips are easy to remove for the addition of a mock compensator.
Adjustable Hop-up.
Cons:
Sights don’t seem to be adjustable.
Controls are not all ambidextrous.
Comments: The ASG CZ P-09 Threaded Barrel CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is another great addition to the ASG CZ line of Airguns. You can now get CZ Replica Airguns from ASG in a variety of models including the CZ 75D, CZ 75 P-07 Duty, CZ 75D Compact and of course the CZ P-09 in Airsoft, Steel BB and even Pellet firing ammunition. I would say the ASG CZ P-09 Threaded Barrel CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is probably one of the most realistic in terms of looks, action and functionally but no matter what your preferences is, ASG will have something for you in the CZ lineup of Airguns for sure!
