EKOL ARDA 8MM P.A.K. BLANK POCKET REVOLVER REVIEW

3 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: Blank Pocket Revolver.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Arda.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: .55 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 8mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 5 rounds.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: As the Arda is single action only, the trigger pull requires pre-cocking of the hammer before each shot, just like the old west six shooters.

Accuracy: N/A.

Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my Zoraki blank guns. The EKOL Arda pocket revolver is well built and uses good quality materials, this gun is almost all metal. The finish quality is typical of other Turkish guns - good but not perfect, the gloss black finish on the Arda looks really good and seems to have filled in most of the imperfections. You will get some powder burns in areas that the gasses escape such as between the cylinder and the beginning of the barrel.

Realism: The EKOL Arda is fairly unique, I don't know of an actual gun that it resembles? It's kind of a cross between a Derringer and a tinny snub nosed revolver.

Purchased From: the Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • In Canada these guns are some of the few blank guns available for purchase that are not prohibited.

  • Would make a good training gun animals (retrievers - guard dogs - police dogs) or a compact starter pistol.

  • Revolvers are always dependable, no loading or ejecting problems like you can have with some semi-autos. 

  • Extremely compact blank shooter.

  • Nice gloss black finish.

Cons:

  • 8mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive.

  • Only holds 5 rounds

  • Single action only with pre-cocking required.

  • The powder from shooting will wear the finish a bit between the barrel and the cylinder.

Comments:

The EKOL Arda blank pocket revolver is a nice addition to our growing number of legal blank guns in Canada. The Arda is a very interesting looking blank pistol and it may not appeal to everyone? I found it so unique looking that I just had to have it as it's just nothing like any other blank gun I own. If you want an ultra compact pistol with revolver reliability then pick yourself up an EKOL Arda and get a small gun with a big bang!

EKOL ARAS VOLGA, DICLE & JACKAL COMING TO THE REPLICA AIRGUNS STORE

No Comments

Related Posts:

I wanted to bring a few more EKOL guns to the Replica Airguns Store. I have done reviews on guns like the Jackal Dual, the Volga and the Dicle but to date I have not had them available for purchase. I'm happy to say I will have them starting April 1st along with my latest blank shooter from EKOL, the EKOL Aras in both the Magnum and Compact versions.

Since I didn't have the EKOL Aras, I wanted to have one in my hands before offering it on the Replica Airguns Store. I have to say it is very nice. I ordered mine in the Compact Gloss Black version and it looks even nicer then I was expecting. I was actually expecting the non-wrap-around grips as most of the pictures online show the gun that way. Another nice touch was the chrome barrel and ejection port opening. Needless to say I am very happy with my EKOL Aras and will be doing a shooting and table top review as always for it.

ASG Dan Wesson 6 inch Silver & 8 inch Black CO2 BB Revolver Review

35 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: BB air Revolvers.

Manufacturer: ASG.

Model:Dan Wesson 6 and 8 inch.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 2.25 - 2.3 pounds.

Barrel: Metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Revolver, single and double action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 6 rounds.

FPS: 426.

Trigger Pull: The ASG Dan Wesson Revolvers have predictable trigers with the single action being a bit more consistent, not just in feel but in fps also. Double action mode is very usable without a lot of extra pressure required. I found I just wanted to shoot this gun in single action mode because it felt more natural with a six shooter.

Accuracy: I shot the pair of Dan Wesson Revolvers  at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and they performed well getting a 1.5 to 2 inch grouping just to the left of the target. The sights are adjustable for elevation and windage so getting these guns centered on the bullseye would be very easy. My Chrony testing with a six shot averaged result was 395 fps for the six inch and 447 fps for the 8 inch Dan Wesson.

Build Quality: These fine revolvers are extremely well built, I am beginning to think just about any product from ASG would not disappoint me, after reviewing the Dan Wesson's and CZ 75 P-07 DUTY. The Dan Wesson BB revolvers are almost all metal with just a few components made out of plastic, like the handles and CO2 screw tab. The handles feel like a cross between plastic and rubber. The finish on the six inch silver Dan Wesson is amazing and looks just like polished stainless steel. The black eight inch version has an almost metallic speckled finish without the shininess.

Realism: The ASG Dan Wesson BB revolvers are as close as you can get to a real six shooter, ASG didn't leave any detail out and thought of a few I may have never even dreamt up! Loading and ejecting actual brass shells into the cylinder makes you feel like this gun is much more then an unassuming airgun!

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • It's a revolver with actual brass shells giving you the feeling of a real 6 shooter!

  • Almost all metal design.

  • lots of detail in this gun, very well made, fit and finish is excellent.

  • Good power and good accuracy.

  • Fully adjustable sights.

  • If I could have dreamt up this gun I don't think I could have done as good a job!

Cons:

  • Very hard to get this gun in North America.

  • Plastic CO2 screw tab.

  • Only shoots BB's, would have been cool to shoot pellets too.

Comments:

I'm not really a revolver person, or should I say I wasn't really a revolver person, well until I got my Dan Wessons! I felt this way because most of the air gun revolvers available look just like that - they look like air guns! The Dan Wesson BB revolvers showed me that an air gun revolver can be just as cool as any of my very realistic automatic air pistols in my collection. And if you where already a revolver fan then the Dan Wesson CO2 BB revolvers are definitely for you.

Preview - CZ 75 P-07 DUTY - Dan Wesson Revolvers - Colt Special Combat

2 Comments

Related Posts:

Today, my ASG CZ 75 P-07 DUTY and Dan Wesson 6 and 8 inch Revolvers arrived along with an Umarex Colt Special Combat. This is kind of a big deal because all of these guns virtually don't exist here in North America. I have been wanting these guns for some time but until now, I had no way to get them! I guess the best part of having a web-store is I have a say in what we are going to carry. And lucky for me I have a really resourceful product manager who was able to locate and import these fine guns not only for myself but also for anyone else here in North America wanting to place an order for one in our Replica Airguns Store.

Let's take a quick look - I won't get too detailed as I will be doing dedicated reviews for all of these guns shortly...

The ASG Dan Wesson's:  6 inch Silver and 8 inch Black

Right off the bat, both of these guns are just flawless. Their finish and quality control is top notch. They have a good solid weight to them and all the moving parts feel tight and responsive. They offer both double and single action and come with a speed loader and six brass shells where the 4.5mm BB's are located. You also have the option of using the included accessory rail for mounting a scope or Red Dot sight.

ASG CZ 75 P-07 DUTY

Again I was really impressed with the quality of this blowback 4.5mm BB shooter! Even though the CZ 75 P-07 DUTY has a polymer frame it has good weight to it, probably because of the metal slide and good usage of metal in other areas like its drop out 20 round metal magazine and metal even in the CO2 door. There is amazing detail and realism all over this gun, it even has the original 9x19 markings on the slide and ejection port, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between this air gun version and the real steel without a very close inspection!

Umarex Colt Special Combat

OK, so the Colt Special Combat isn't a blowback BB pistol! Once you pick it up and take a close look at all the work that went into this gun, you will soon forget all about the blowback. The tradeoff here is more power and usable shots along with features like an all metal design, a working slide, a full size drop free metal magazine, adjustable sights and both a single and double action trigger. Having a classic 1911 that is as nice as this one in my airgun collection is a real treat!

EKOL TUNA 8MM P.A.K. BLANK GUN REVIEW

12 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Tuna.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: .9 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 8mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 6 round magazine.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull of the Tuna is light to medium and as with most of the EKOL guns seems to get lighter as you break the gun in.

Accuracy: N/A.

Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my Zoraki blank guns. The EKOL Tuna is well built and uses good quality materials, this gun is almost all metal. The finish quality is typical of other Turkish guns - good but not perfect, the gloss black finish on the Tuna looks really good and seems to have filled in most of the imperfections.

Realism: The Tuna is very similar in design and appearance to the Tanfoglio GT27, a small .25 Automatic sub compact pistols.

Purchased From: the Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • In Canada these guns are some of the few blank guns available for purchase that are not prohibited.

  • Very good construction, lots of metal parts and good weight to this blank gun even for its small size.

  • Inexpensive blank gun to purchase. 

  • Nice extremely compact blank shooter.

  • Worked very well, no jams, misfires or failure to eject or load in my testing.

  • Great training gun, as it operates exactly like a real gun without the deadly force.

Cons:

  • 8mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive.

  • Mine was a bit hard to field strip at first - when removing the slide.

Comments:

The EKOL Tuna blank gun is a nice addition to our growing number of legal blank guns in Canada. EKOL offers a nice variety of models and finishes to choose from. The EKOL Tuna and Volga are very similar with the Tuna being just a bit smaller, chambered for 8mm and the Tuna has a slightly higher capacity magazine. Out of the two, I would recommend the Tuna unless you want to stick with 9mm P.A.K. ammo only.

EKOL - ARDA - TUNA - MAJOR - SPECIAL 99 - ASI UZI - 8-9MM P.A.K. BLANK GUN SHOOTING REVIEW

1 Comment

Related Posts:

I have been wanting to shoot my latest batch of EKOL Blank Guns, and today I was able to do just that! I left out my EKOL Firat because I have already done a shooting review of the EKOL Jackal and these guns are virtually identical with the exception of the Jack Dual being a semi and full auto blank shooter. Here are the guns I got to shoot today: (EKOL Arda, Tuna, Major, Special 99 and ASI UZI), all of which where purchased from the Replica Airguns Store.

In this video I use both my Canon T2i DSLR and my Casio EX-FC100 high speed camera so I was able to capture it all in both High Definition and in High Speed slow motion. First off I was very impressed with how all of these EKOL blank guns performed, this was my first time shooting them and they all shot every round without a misfire, jam or loading problem.

EKOL ASI UZI 9MM P.A.K. BLANK MACHINE GUN REVIEW

9 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: ASI UZI.

Materials: Plastic (Polymer) shell, metal internals.

Weight: 3.5 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi/Full auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 15 & 25 round magazines.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull of the ASI UZI is typical of a single action semi auto gun, no hammer pull is required so it has a light to medium pull.

Accuracy: N/A.

Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my Zoraki 925 blank gun. The outer polymer shell is very durable and on the inside lives an all metal Jackal Dual. The fit and finish are very good making it hard to image this is essentially a pistol with a plastic shell wrapped around it.

Realism: The ASI UZI closely resembles the Mini UZI but is not an exact copy. It is the basic size weight and shape however.

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Semi and Full auto makes this gun a lot of fun to shoot.

  • Very good construction, lots of internal metal parts and quality plastics on the outside.

  • Comes with both a 15 round and 25 round magazine.

  • Has a built in foregrip.

  • Would make a great prop gun as it looks like the stereotypical mini machine gun.

Cons:

  • 9mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive and this gun can go through it fast!

  • Can be a bit pricey depending on where you purchase it from.

  • Comes in a cardboard box, not a plastic hard shell case.

Comments:

The EKOL ASI UZI is a blank machine gun which right there says it all! Who wouldn't want to get their hands on this and shoot a bunch of blank ammo off in full auto mode? If you don't mind paying a bit more for this luxury then the EKOL ASI blank machine gun is for you. Just make sure to buy lots of 9mm P.A.K ammo.

EKOL SPECIAL 99 9MM P.A.K. BLANK GUN REVIEW

3 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Special 99.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 1.7 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi auto single & double action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 round single stack magazine.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull of the EKOL Special 99 is medium to heavy when in double action mode, but once the hammer is back, the single action mode is one of the lightest triggers I have ever felt. I imagine if this was an actual target shooter it would be a dream to fire on target!

Accuracy: N/A.

Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my Zoraki blank guns. The EKOL Special 99 is well built and uses good quality materials, this gun is almost all metal and for it's medium size has a good weight to it. The finish quality is typical of other Turkish guns - good but not perfect. The two satin tone look suits this gun and brings out its features.

Realism: The EKOL Special 99 is a pretty good replica of the Beretta Cheetah, most like the model 85 (.380 caliber) as they both share the single stack 8 round magazine.

Purchased From: the Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • Very good construction, lots of metal parts and good solid weight in a medium sized gun.

  • Plastic grips and the magazine end cap are much better quality on the Special 99 then on other EKOL guns.

  • The two tone satin finish really suits this pistol.

  • Good replica of the Beretta Cheetah Model 85.

  • Great single action trigger feel.

Cons:

  • There is not much slide to grab when trying to pull it back and the safety gets a bit in the way of racking the slide.

  • The Magazine takes a bit of effort to load into the gun, but you get used to it.

Comments:

The EKOL Special 99 blank gun is a nice addition to our growing number of legal blank guns in Canada. EKOL offers a nice variety of models to choose from with a nice assortment of finishes. I like the fact that the EKOL Special 99 is truly a replica gun very closely resembling the Beretta Cheetah pistol which will draw many Beretta fans to this blank shooter. Another thing that makes the EKOL Special 99 kind of "special" is it's almost perfect mid sized dimensions. It's not too big or small and for that reason should be suitable for almost anyone.

EKOL - ASI - FIRAT - SPECIAL 99 - ES 55 - MAJOR - TUNA - ARDA ARRIVE

UPDATE - Feb. 22nd: Added a YouTube video to this post.

Back on January 30th I made a post about the Replica Airguns Store getting some new EKOL Blank Guns and Airguns. We'll I just got my review shipment of them in today and had some fun looking them all over. I don't plan on keeping all of them, but I will most certainly keep a few for my personal inventory!

Let's take a closer look at some of these fine EKOL blank guns and air guns:

EKOL ASI - $269US(Order-now)

The EKOL ASI is a very nice semi auto and full auto front firing 9mm P.A.K blank machine gun. This well built blank shooter comes with a 15 round and 25 round magazine and has selectable semi or full auto firing modes. This blank machine-gun is destined for my collection...

EKOL FIRAT - $139US (Order-now)

You may remember my reviews on the EKOL Jackal Dual? This is it's little brother in the compact version and with semi auto only. Other than that it's the same exact 15 round 9mm P.A.K. blank gun!

EKOL SPECIAL 99 - $119US (Order-now)

The EKOL Special 99 is a mid-sized Beretta styled blank shooter that comes with a single stack 8 round 9mm P.A.K. magazine. I was instantly impressed with the styling and overall feel of this gun. I'm pretty sure this one is a keeper!

EKOL ES 55 - $159CAN (Order-now)

In the mix of Blank shooters came this EKOL ES 55 4.5mm BB gun, I'm going to have to shoot a few rounds through this arigun before I can really comment on it. Still a very nice looking all metal BB shooter with a full size drop out 16 round magazine.

EKOL MAJOR - $109US (Order-now)

If your a James Bond fan, you will recognize the design of this gun, it's a replica of the Walther PPK compact semi auto, Bond's favorite sidearm in many of the 007 movies. This particular version uses 9mm P.A.K blanks and holds 7 rounds in the magazine. I already have a few PPK styled blank guns so I'm not sure if this one is staying with me...

EKOL TUNA - $79US (Order-now)

Now we are getting into the light weight blank guns, and I thought my EKOL Volga was small! The EKOL Tuna is pretty similar to the EKOL Volga in looks and design but comes in just a bit smaller and hold 6 rounds of 8mm P.A.K. blanks in it's tinny single stack magazine. Even though this blank gun is so similar to my EKOL Volga, I may find it just a bit too hard to give up?

EKOL ARDA - $89US (Order-now)

If you're looking for a small blank gun - look no further! The EKOL Arda is crazy small but even so feels solid in the hand, just make sure to hold on tight! The Arda hold 5 rounds of 8mm P.A.K. blank ammo in it's cylinder and uses a pre-cocked single action only hammer, just like back in the wild west.

EKOL DICLE 9MM P.A.K. BLANK GUN REVIEW

1 Comment

Related Posts:

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Dicle.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 2.5 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi auto single & double action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 15 round magazine.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull of the Dicle is fairly heavy in double action mode, even cocking the hammer takes some effort, but once the hammer is back the single action mode is much lighter. I have not put many rounds through this gun and have found the EKOL's take some breaking in before they loosen up a bit.

Accuracy: N/A.

Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my Zoraki blank guns. The EKOL Dicle is well built and uses good quality materials, this gun is almost all metal and very heavy with a thick slide and heavy frame. The finish quality is typical of other Turkish guns - good but not perfect. The two tone look suits this gun and brings out its features.

Realism: The EKOL Dicle is not an exact copy of the Beretta Cougar, but it does look very similar with the exception of the elongated thumb guard.

Purchase From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Very good construction, lots of metal parts and good solid weight to the Dicle.

  • The two tone finish really suits this pistol.

  • Worked very well, no jams, misfires or failure to eject or load.

  • Looks very much like the Beretta Cougar.

Cons:

  • Plastic grips are a bit cheap looking.

  • The plastic but piece at the bottom of the magazine seems a bit cheap and out of place with the rest of this well made gun.

  • A bit of a bulky gun, may be a bit too much gun for some people.

Comments:

The EKOL Dicle blank gun is a nice addition to our growing number of legal blank guns in Canada. EKOL offers a nice variety of models to choose from with an assortment of finishes. I was not expecting to like the Dicle as much as I did, in photos you just can't fully appreciate how solid this gun really is. The quality and finish is pretty good overall with the usual few minimal cosmetic imperfection found on many Turkish blank guns. This gun test fired without incident, I shoot several rounds through it and had no miss fires, failures to load or eject.

EKOL JACKAL DUAL 9MM P.A.K. BLANK GUN REVIEW

Related Posts:

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Jackal Dual.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 2.5 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi/Full auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 15 round magazine.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull of the Jackal Dual is typical of a single action semi auto gun, no hammer pull is required so it has a light to medium pull.

Accuracy: N/A.

Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my Zoraki blank guns. The EKOL Jackal Dual is well built and uses good quality materials, this gun is almost all metal and very heavy with thick materials. The finish quality is typical of other Turkish guns - good but not perfect. Out of all the EKOL finishes, the black (which is more of  glossy back) is probably the nicest.

Realism: The Jackal Dual is an almost exact copy of the Beretta 92FS, it would be hard to tell them apart from any distance.

Purchase From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Semi and Full auto makes this gun a lot of fun to shoot.

  • Very good construction, lots of metal parts and good solid weight to the Jackal.

  • The black gloss finish is one of the nicer EKOL finishes.

  • If you own a Beretta 92FS or plan to get one, the Jackal would make a great trainer to accompany your real one.

Cons:

  • 9mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive and this gun can go through it fast!

  • The rear safety is non-functional and a bit confusing.

  • The plastic but piece at the bottom of the magazine seems a bit cheap and out of place with the rest of this well made gun.

  • The Jackal is a bit on the high price side compared to the other EKOL blank guns. (You may want to look at the EKOL Firat blank guns as they are the same gun without the full auto feature for about $60 less.)

Comments:

The EKOL Jackal Dual blank gun is a nice addition to our growing number of legal blank guns in Canada. EKOL offers a nice variety of models to choose from with an assortment of finishes. Out of all the EKOL guns, I would consider the Jackal Dual as being the most realistic as it is really a copy of the Beretta 92FS. The quality and finish is pretty good overall with the usual few minimal imperfection found on many Turkish blank guns. This gun test fired without incident. I shoot 10 rounds through it and had no miss fires, failures to load or eject. The full auto feature of this gun makes it very thrilling to shoot, just make sure you have lots of ammo with you and an out of the way place to shoot.

  • Hard to get an empty magazine out of the Volga when the slide is back.

  • Only holds 5 rounds.

Comments:

The EKOL Volga blank gun is a nice addition to our growing number of legal blank guns in Canada. EKOL offers a nice variety of models to choose from with an assortment of finishes, the Volga fits nicely if you're looking for a very compact blank gun. The quality and finish is pretty good overall with the usual few imperfection found on low cost blank guns. This gun test fired without incident, I didn't shoot very many rounds through it but I still had no miss fires, failures to load or eject. If you are thinking about getting a sub compact blank shooter, definitely take a look at the EKOL Volga blank gun.

EKOL Blank and BB Guns Coming to the Replica Airguns Store

Update: Stock has arrived, we are now shipping these guns!

I picked up a few really nice EKOL blank guns a couple of weeks ago to see what they where like. I was not expecting them to be as nice as they where! And I was also impressed with the fact that all three of the guns did not have a single jam, miss-feed or failure to eject the first time shooting them.

I am happy to say that in a couple of weeks, the US Replica Airguns Store will be carrying at least some of the EKOL product line, and not just EKOL's blank shooters but also one of their BB CO2 air pistols, the ES 55.

Here are the products we will be carrying in the Replica Airguns Store:

EKOL - Volga - Dicle - Jackal Dual - 9mm P.A.K. Blank Gun Shooting Review

No Comments

Related Posts:

I finally got to shoot my new EKOL blank firing 9mm P.A K. guns today and I just happened to have my "cameras" rolling: My Canon T2i DSLR and my Casio EX-FC100 high speed camera. First off I was very impressed with how these EKOL blank guns performed, this was my first time shooting all of them and they all shot every round without a misfire, jam or loading problem. I was using Fiocchi 9mm P.A.K. blank ammunition by the way.

Make sure to watch this one, there's lots of action, some full auto, a bit of slow motion and even some full contact!

EKOL - Jackal Dual - Dicle - Volga 9mm P.A.K. Blank Gun Overview

8 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Jackal Dual - Dicle - Volga

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 2.5 - 2.5 - 1 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi/full auto single action - Semi auto single/double action - semi auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 15 - 15 - 6 round magazines.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull for the Jackal Dual and Dicle is fairly light to medium in weight and with the Volga it's a bit harder with more of a medium to heavy trigger pull. I have noticed it getting lighter over time as I work the gun in.

Accuracy: N/A.

Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my Zoraki guns, I have not shot the guns so I can not say yet how they will chamber and fire rounds, but my first impressions after spending some time looking them over and handling them is that they are well built and use good materials. There finish quality is typical of other Turkish guns - good but not perfect.

Realism: The EKOL Jackal Dual is the most realist of the three guns, and I say that because it closely resembles the Beretta 92 FS. And it does look very much like the Beretta 92 FS in many ways. The Dicle and the Volga however do not closely resemble any other guns that I can think of. The closest gun to the Dicle I would have to say is the Beretta PX4, but the Dicle is more like a PX4 and a Sig Sauer combined into one gun. The Volga is similar in design but not spot on to other small .25 Automatic sub compact pistols.

Purchase From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • In Canada these guns are some of the few blank guns available for purchase that are not prohibited.

  • Very good construction, lots of metal parts and good weight to these blank guns.

  • EKOL has a nice assortment of styles and colors to choose from.

  • In the case of the Jackal, this gun would make a good Beretta 92 FS blank shooting replica.

  • Great training guns, as they operate exactly like real guns without the deadly force.

Cons:

  • Jackal Dual's rear safety is non-functioning, this is a bit confusing.

  • 9mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive.

  • Volga's trigger pull is a bit heavy but it seems to be getting better over time.

  • Hard to get an empty magazine out of the Volga when the slide is back.

Comments:

These EKOL VOLTRAN blank guns are a nice addition to our growing number of legal blank guns in Canada. EKOL offers a nice variety of models to choose from with an assortment of finishes. The quality and finish is better than I expected from EKOL, almost matching the Zoraki products and that's a pretty high pedestal to achieve. If you are thinking about getting a blank shooter, definitely take a look at the EKOL VOLTRAN line of blank guns.

Three New Blank Guns - EKOL - Jackal Dual - Dicle - Volga

No Comments

Related Posts:

As I mentioned with my two new BB guns, my mailbox yesterday was teaming with goodies! I also received three new EKOL (Voltran) Blank Guns. The EKOL Jackal Dual, Dicle and the Volga. The Jackal is basically a Beretta 92 FS Replica while the EKOL Dicle and EKOL Volga do not look super close to any one particular pistol. They are all 9mm P.A.K. front shooters, I decided to purchase mine in a variety of different finishes: Gloss black, Satin, and Fume.

I have not had a chance to shoot these guns but initially I am very pleased with the overall quality and finish, like my Zoraki Blank Guns, they are also made in Turkey.

<!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-9036472715040282"; /* Replica Airguns Content */ google_ad_slot = "1487049688"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 15; //-->

The Beretta look alike Jackal Dual is both semi and full auto selectable, and is really a very solid gun with a beautiful glossy back finish. Probably the nicest finish out of the three.

The EKOL Dicle (not sure who named this gun) kind of looks like a gun that a Sig Suaer and Beretta PX4 gave birth to! It really looks in many ways like a bit of both of them. Again I was impressed with how solid this gun was. I really like the two-tone satin look of this blank shooter.

My EKOL Volga looks a bit like a Titan E27 .25 Automatic in some ways and again has a two-tone look but not as drastic as the Satin finish on my EKOL Dicle. This blank gun is even smaller than my Zoraki M906 yet still chambers six 9mm P.A.K. blank rounds in the magazine.

Of course I will follow this post up with some reviews of these fine 9mm P.A.K. blank guns...

ZORAKI M906 9MM P.A.K. BLANK PISTOL SHOOTING REVIEW

Here's a quick YouTube video of the Zoraki M906 P.A.K. Blank pistol firing off some blank rounds. I fire off 6 semi-auto rounds which by the way is the magazines maximum capacity! I also capture the test fire using my Canon High Speed Slow Motion camera in 210 frames per second mode to really slow down the action and see how this small blank shooter cycles rounds.
