As the title suggest this a video about a Huge Mystery Box so I am not going to say what’s in it, I can say that their are 4 main products mostly rifles per-say. One is a Futuristic Full Auto BB Rifle, one is a Paintball Shotgun, One is an AEG Airsoft Rifle and one is a Replica Break Barrel Pellet Rifle.
So I have a lot of variety here to show everyone! I did absolutely zero research on any of the products I show in this video since like you I had no real idea what was inside other than how many and that most where rifle based.
Enjoy finding out what new products I will be reviewing over the next month with dedicated Table Top and Field Test Shooting videos.
Sights for guns in general are the same for Airguns as is with real steel guns for the most part and can be mixed and matched with a couple of exceptions. Spring piston rifles for instance are an exception because of the unique vibration the spring makes and how it can damage a standard optical sight, so in this case you’re best to use an optical sight designed for a spring piston Airgun. In most other cases sights can be used on all types of guns.
In this Airgun Sights video I will go over the various types of sights that either come as part of the gun design or can be added afterwards using a rail or mounting system.
Types of Airgun Sights most commonly used.
Iron Sight (Fixed or removable).
Iron Sight (Adjustable).
Iron Sight (White Dot, Fiber Optic).
Come in Post/Notch, Post/Aperture (Peep).
Common on Pistols and Rifles
Laser Sight:
Generally added to a rail or can sometime be integrated into the design of the gun.
Common on both Pistols and Rifles.
Red DotandHolographic:
Generally not magnified.
Most common on Rifles but can be used on Pistols.
Optical Magnified (Telescopic)
Come in a variety of magnifications for different shooting ranges.
There are many types of magazines used in Airguns and some of this is dependent on the ammunition used.
For instance a stacked type of magazine often used for Steel BB and Airsoft can not be used for Pellets as pellets tend to deform when stacked in such a way since there is no metal casting protecting them from mashing into each other.
So what type of magazines do we generally see in Airguns? The most common Airgun magazines are as follows:
Simple Stick Magazine
Mostly used with Steel BB but also found in some Airsoft Airguns.
Some Pellet Airguns use a type of stick magazine with a rotary magazine on each end.
Used in non-blowback and blowback Airguns.
Can be made from plastic or steel or a combination of both materials.
Full Size Drop Out Magazine
Used with Steel BB and Airsoft guns.
Generally you will find these types magazines hold both the BB’s and CO2.
Used in non-blowback and blowback Airguns.
Commonly used with Airsoft Rifles in mid to high capacity.
Can be made from plastic or steel or a combination of both materials.
Rotary magazine
Used with Steel BB, Airsoft and Pellet Airguns.
Used in non-blowback and blowback Airguns.
Can be made from plastic or steel.
Can often use mixed ammo types as in both 4.5mm Steel BB and .177 caliber pellet.
Belt Fed Magazine
Like rotary magazine belt fed magazine can accommodate Steel BB, Pellet and Airsoft but are most often used with Pellet Airguns.
Usually found in a full size magazine that also holds the CO2.
Used in non-blowback and blowback Airguns.
Can be made from plastic or steel or a combination of both materials.
Internal Magazine
Used with Steel BB, Airsoft.
Can have a hopper built in hat feeds a spring fed magazine.
Usually found in lesser expensive Airguns but not a rule.
In this Video I go through each type of Airgun Magazine and talk about their differences and uses.
I have another Full Auto Fun Video this one focusing on 4.5mm Steel BB Versus 6mm Plastic and which one is better in terms of accuracy and shredding power. I perform this super scientific test by shooting obviously in full auto two comparable Steel BB and Plastic Airsoft Rifles at a paper target setup 20 feet away with a magazine as a backer so I can see what the accuracy is like and how much of the paper magazine gets shredded by each ammo being tested.
I have split this video into three separate videos, in video one I compare two similar AR styled rifles, a CO2 powered Blowback 4.5mm BB Rifle to a Gas Blowback 6mm Airsoft Rifle. In video two I compare two AK type Blowback Rifles to each otters, again a CO2 4.5mm Steel BB along with a Gas 6mm Airsoft.
And lastly in Video three I compare my top picks for each category which include a non-Blowback CO2 4.5mm BB Machine gun to an AEG 6mm Airsoft Rifle.

For this Video 2 Accuracy Test I shoot all of the above listed Airguns at a paper target setup 30 feet down range using a semi rested shooting position with my hands resting on a sand bag up front and seated on a stool in the back. It’s not perfect but works well enough. I didn’t take a ton of time with each gun since there where 4 to shoot in this Field Test Shooting Video so accuracy may have been a bit better if I took a little more time with each gun.
In Video 2 I test the power and penetration of each Airgun option shooting at a pop can, a soup can and a toilet paper roll so make sure to watch that video if you have not already watched it.
For this Video 1 Power Test I shoot all of the above listed Airguns first at a pop can, then a soup can and then a toilet paper roll. The ides is to test penetration abilities with the pop and soup can and then raw force shooting the toilet paper as it will absorb all the energy from each airgun round and by gauging how much the toilet paper reacts or moves it should tell us which airgun has the most raw power or energy.
In Video 2 I will be testing accuracy using my standard 30 round paper target setup in the Replica Airguns Sea Can so stay posted for that upcoming video shortly…
This is Video 2 of the Full Auto Fun 2022 video series where I shoot my Crosman AK1 Duel CO2 Full Auto BB Machine Gun at some water filled cans and a paper gel target just for some good old fun times! In Video 1 which is already posted, I tested out the Crosman A4-P Duel CO2 Full Auto BB Gun. And in Video 3 which I have not posted yet I will be shooting the Air Ordnance SMG .22 which is a PCP powered Full Auto .22 Caliber Pellet Machine Gun to finish this 2022 Full Auto Fun Series off.
In this years 2022 Full Auto Fun Video series I take three Full auto Airguns outside in the yard and have some fun with them shooting at water filled cans and a gel target. I picked two Full Auto CO2 4.5mm Steel BB Guns from Crosman, the A4-P AR-15 Pistol and the AK1 Rifle which is a modernized AK 47. The Crosman A4-P representing my most compact entry with the Crosman AK1 representing my mid size entry even though it is fairly large. I end this series with the Air Ordnance SMG .22 which is a PCP powered Full Auto .22 Caliber Pellet Machine Gun and yes this represents my large or at least most powerful choice for this years 2022 Full Auto Fun Video.
In this video, (Video 1 of the series) I have some Full Auto Fun with the Crosman A4-P, watch and enjoy along with me as I place 100 rounds down range ripping up some water filled cans and putting holes in my gel target.
Type:Airsoft Rifle. Manufacturer: Tokyo Marui. Model:CQBR Block1. Materials: Metal and Polymer. Weight: 9.97 pounds (4.52kg). Barrel: 9.84 inches (250mm). Propulsion: Gas Blowback. Action: Semi & Full Auto - SAO trigger. Ammunition Type: .6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s. Ammunition Capacity: 35 Max FPS: 350 Tested (.20 gram).
Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle is single action only so the charging handle will need to be engaged on your first shot un less the bolt is already back for a preview empty magazine and reload. The trigger is light and short with virtual no makeup but then just a bit of creep before releasing the internal striker and firing a round.
Accuracy: I did already perform my Field Test Shooting Video for the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle so I do have some information to share relating to the shooting abilities of this Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle. During my Velocity Chronograph Test I was able to average 332 fps using .20 gram Airsfot BB’s with my highest velocity shot hitting 350 fps. My 10 shot grouping at 30 feet away yielded a 1.5 inch spread and when I placed the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle in full auto it did open up a fair amount since the blowback action really rocks this gun around a lot making full auto shooting spread out much monroe than semi auto shooting but still so much fun to shoot in full auto :). You can watch my full Field Test Shooting Video here!
Build Quality: The build quality of the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle is one of the highest out there with high quality metal parts throughout this GBB AIrsfot Rifle both inside and out. Some of the internals include a heavy duty 19mm blowback piston, New mechanism Z-system to prevent wear and tear of bolt catch, piston absorber and friction relief bolt roller to reduce the burden on internal parts due to bolt operation.
Realism: The Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle is a near perfect replica of a Colt licensed AR 15 and Tokyo Marui has a ton of detail to the fit and finish including the unique and multiple finishes on the external parts: The rail hand guard, front sight, and stock reproduce the difference in FDE color tone applied to each part as in the real thing. The metal rail hand guard reproduces the color by alumite treatment with excellent scratch resistance. In addition, the upper / lower frame and bolts are made of Ceracoat, which has a strong coating film and excellent scratch resistance.
Pros:
Super high quality GBB Airsoft Rifle.
Bolt locks back for easy hop-up adjustments.
Very heavy blowback operation.
Lots of metal parts, mostly everything except the stock, fore grip and pistol grip.
Lots of mounting points with it’s quad rail setup.
Awesome internals: Heavy duty 19mm blowback piston, New mechanism Z-system to prevent wear and tear of bolt catch, piston absorber and friction relief bolt roller to reduce the burden on internal parts due to bolt operation.
Attention to detail goes beyond expectation! Color reproduction and special surface treatment is a good example of this.
Easy to mount a sling with it’s QD tactical sling mounts on handguard, lower receiver, and stock.
Adjustable hop-up as expected.
6 portion rear stock.
Removable and fully adjustable rear sight.
Great for close and mid range shooting situations with a 350 average fps using .20 gram BB’s.
Accuracy was good at 30 feet getting around a 1.5 inch 10 shot grouping.
Cons:
My magazine did not seem to seal very well in the nozzle area when filling with propane but mag seemed to fill OK, just seemed to waste a bit of gas while filling.
Heavy blowback makes full auto accuracy move around a fair amount.
Pretty much have sue the included magazine filling tube to load BB’s in the magazine sop will need ot be carried with you in a game.
On the very high end of the price spectrum.
Comments: I am a bit of a sucker for Blowback Airguns in general whether it be Pistol, Rifle, BB, Pellet, Paintball or Airsoft. So right out of the box I loved the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle with its heavy blowback recoil. All that aside the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle is one of the highest quality Gas Blowback AR 15 type Airsoft Rifles you will be able to get your hands on assuming if you can find it in stock. It is a near perfect Airsoft Replica of a real steel Colt AR with only the best finishes and parts available for such a GBB Rifle.
Starting with my velocity test, I placed 6 rounds through my Chronpgrah using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s with a fully gassed up magazine. The slowest shot was 332 fps while the fastest shot was 350 fps for a 6 shot average of 337 fps, the temperature was not overly warm in the Sea Can for this Field Test so I would imagine in a warmer shooting conditions the velocity would be a little bit higher.
Switch to my Accuracy test for the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle I set myself up using a rested seated shooting position with a sand bag up front for stability. My fresh paper target was 30 feet down range for this test. I was able to place 10 rounds in semi auto all within about 1.5 inches slightly high on the target but well centered left to right. This is just using out of the box already setup hop-up and sight adjustments. I then shot the remaining 25 rounds left in the magazine using several full auto bursts until the magazine was empty and as expected the grouping opened up more since this Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle really does have some kick and does move around a fair bit.
I really enjoyed testing out the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle in the Replcai Airguns Sea Can Indoor Airgun Shooting Range. It performed exactly how I was hoping with mid range velocity and excellent accuracy in semi auto. If you are looking for one of the more realistic and higher quality GBB Airsoft AR-15 type Airsoft Rifles on the market you really can not go wrong with the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 GBB Airsoft Rifle as it checks all these boxes!
Yet another Indoor Field Test Shooting Video performed in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range. Today I put the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle through its paces and it came out a winner for sure! I really like the way this AR15 type AEG Airsoft Rifle looks and feels and was hoping to get a good result today, I was not disappointed! I have not yet made my Table Top Video for the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle but plan for this next week, you can watch my Preview Video for some details and specifications in the mean time…
As I always do, I first tested out the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle by shooting several rounds through my Chronograph to see what the actual velocity is in fps. I used .20 gram Airsoft BB’s for this test and was able to get a 6 shot average of 408 fps so perfect for most shooting situations as this is not too hot or too cold. My slowest shot was 402 fps while the fastest shot was 410 so pretty consistent for sure.
Next I placed a fresh paper target 30 feet down range on my ammo trap and proceeded to shoot around 10 rounds into it using a rested seated shooting position with a sand bag up front to help with stability. The first shot out of the barrel felt and sounded like a double shot and this one did strike the target just a tad low so I left that one out of the test results. All the other Airsoft BB’s shot easily within 1.5 inches maybe even a bit tighter and all where well centered left to right but just a bit low on the target most likely because I was using a red dot with a riser that places the sights fairly high. Since the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle can also shoot in full auto I had to give it a try and pretty much emptied the magazine until the target actually fell off the ammo trap. The full auto grouping did open up just a slight bit as expected but only marginally.
I really like the Sig Sauer Proforce MCX Virtus AEG Airsoft Rifle, yes it’s an AR15 at it’s core but Sig has made it their own in terms of looks and styling. The performance was also excellent so this gun is not just for show. You will need a sighting system of some sort when you buy it so keep that in mind. I suggest a red dot of some sort but you could add on iron sights if you like more traditional sights.
In this Preview Unboxing Video I take a look at three rifles, two are Airsoft Rifles and one is an Archery Rifle. Then First Airsoft Rifle form Tokyo Marui i s full Gas Blowback all metal build AR 15 of the highest quality and realism while the second Airsoft Rifle from Sig Sauer is an AEG but again a high quality product for sure. Lastly I take a look at Umarex’s lates Airsaber which now sports dual Arrow configuration for quick follow up shots. I do plan to make future more intensive table top and shooting videos for some if not all of thees Rifles but this video will at least wet your appetite a bit.
In this Field Test Shooting Review I test out the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Shooting Range to find out its velocity and accuracy using both 4.5mm Steel BB’s and .177 Caliber Lead Pellets. The version I am using is the BB version but my viewers have informed me that the BB version may in fact shoot just as well as the pellet version using pellets even without the rifled barrel due to how pellets are shaped not always requiring a rifled barrel to fly true. So let’s find out!
Starting with the velocity test, I shot 4 rounds of each ammo through my Chronograph using a fresh CO2 cartridge. Umarex claims the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver is able to get a maximum fps of 420 using standard 4.5mm steel BB’s and I was able to average 396 so every close. In warmer conditions 420 fps should be possible. Switching to the .177 caliber lead pellets the fps lowered a bit to an average of 323 fps as expected since the pellets are much heavier (around 7 grain versus 5 grain). I would expect the energy of the pellets to be a bit higher and also keep that energy out to further ranges so if you plan to shoot longer ranges perhaps go with the lead pellets over the BB’s as long as they are similar in accuracy which I test next.
For the accuracy portion of the test I again started off with the 4.5mm Steel BB’s and fired 6 rounds into my paper target setup 30 feet down range. I shot the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver using a seated shooting position with my hands resting up front on a sand bag to help with stability but it’s not perfect and there is always some human factor to consider. That said I was able to shoot a 1.5 inch 6 shot grouping with the BB’s and if I remove one outlier from the group that reduced it to closer to around an inch so not too bad for a BB shooter. I then switching up to the .177 caliber lead pellets and was a bit surprised that even without a rifled barrel the pellets seemed to perform better than the Steel BB’s getting a solid 1 inch grouping with no real outliers in it!
Unfortunately I do not have the actual rifled barrel version of the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 Revolver. Perhaps in the future I can compare the BB verso to the Pellet version using pellets to see if there is an improvement with the addition of the rifled barrel. I can say the BB version without the rifled version shoots pellets just fine at least up to 30 feet so feel free to shoot whatever ammo you want to with it and not be worried about compromising accuracy or velocity.
Type: BB Pistol. Manufacturer: Umarex. Model: M29. Materials: Metal & plastic. Weight: 2.5 pounds (1135 grams). Barrel Length: 8.375 inches (Smooth bore). Total Length: 12.13 inches. Propulsion: 12 gram CO2 cartridge. Action: Revolver, single and double action. Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's (Also available in 6mm Airsoft). Ammunition Capacity: 6 rounds. FPS: 420fps claimed.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver is light in single action but not too light, there is virtually no take up and the release is predictable. In double action the trigger pull is heavier as the cylinder and hammer are both actuated manually by the trigger but even so the pull is not what I would call heavy for a double action revolver. The double action trigger pull is nice and even and will not tire out your finger too much firing all six rounds quickly.
Accuracy: At this point i have not made my Field Test Shooting portion of my review for the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver but I expect to get close to the 420 fps claimed velocity and I also expect to shoot around a 1 to 2 inch grouping based on my past experienced with similar Shell Loading BB Revolvers. I may even pull of a 1/5 inch group if I am on my game and so is the gun… We will have to all wait till next week when I record the shooting portion of my review for the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver.
Build Quality: Overall the all metal build quality of the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver is very good. The black chrome finish looks really nice but does show every finger print and any grease from your hands. The imitation wood grips look just like real wood and with only the exception of a small scratch or crack in the front plastic red sight, the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver was flawless.
Realism: The Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver is the same revolver used in one of the Dirty Hariy Movies and really looks exactly the same. As with all the shell loading BB/pellet/Airsoft Revolvers, they look and perform exactly like the real steel versions other than recoil of course. The only give away for the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver would be the diameter of the shells as Umarex decided to repurpose the 38/357 shells used in their other smaller caliber shell loading revolvers. It would have been nice to have a larger 44/45 caliber sized shell that they could use in both the Colt 45 Single Action Army Revolvers and this 44 Magnum version of the Smith and Wesson M29 Revolver. The barrel opening is closer to that of a 44 Magnum so they did get that part right.
Pros:
Classic iconic 44 magnum movie revolver.
Mostly all metal build.
Good overall weight, it’s big so expected to weigh a fair amount.
Lots of detail, well made, fit and finish is very good.
Fully S&W Licensed via Umarex.
Love the black chrome look but prone to finger prints.
Simulated wood grips look real enough.
Should have good overall power, accuracy and shots per CO2 (claimed around 80 per CO2).
Adjustable rear sight for windage/elevation with red dot front sight.
CO2 Allen key built into grip.
Recessed barrel true to 44 magnum opening size.
Nice Trigger pull in both single and double action.
Cons:
Shells are closer to 357 not 44 magnum in size.
Don’t like the white writing on the right side.
Black chrome finish shows lots of finger prints and grease.
Comments:
I really like that Umarex decided to give us this more classic Revolver to add to our collection of Airgun Revolvers! I was a big fan of the Dirty Harry Movies so this gun is for sure going to be part of my Airgun collection and even if you are not a fan, you should probably be a fan of the Smith and Wesson M29 which was considered to be one of the most powerful revolvers back in its day. Right now you can get it in 4.5mm Steel BB and 6mm Plastic Airsoft but hopefully there is a .177 caliber Pellet version on its way at some point.
My Table Top Video of the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver:
I have a nice Airgun Pistol Update Unboxing video to checkout where I take a look at 5 Airguns four of which are Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistols and one is a CO2 BB Revolver. I don’t go into a lot of details here on each Airgun as this is mainly just a preview video to let everyone know we have these products in our Online Replica Airgun Stores and give a you a quick look at them. I will be following up with individual Table Top and Field Test Videos where I go into more details and also show you how each gun performs in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Shooting Range.
Yet another Field test Shooting review for the Crosman AR line of CO2 BB Blowback Full Auto Machine Guns. Today I test out the Pistol version or A4-P model. Basically this is the same BB Gun mechanically as all the other Crosman AR’s but with some cosmetic differences which can affect power and accuracy a bit. And that would be a slightly shorter barrel which can reduce velocity and the lack of a but stock for less stability.
As always I first test out the power or velocity for the Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun, I always use brand new CO2 and make sure the temperature is not too cold in the Replica Airguns Sea Can. Crosman claims around 400+ fps for the Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun and in my Chronograph test I was able to get a 5 shot average of 357 fps. The temperature was not super warm so I would expect on a hot summer day to get closer to 400 fps so pretty close.
I then proceeded to see what kind of accuracy I could get from the Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun shooting 10 rounds in semi auto at a paper target setup 30 feet down range. I use a stabilized shooting position with the Airgun resting on a sand bag up front and me sitting on a stool in the back so the lack of a stock was not a huge drawback here. Regular stand up shooting and not being able to shoulder this Airgun as easily will mean a difference for sure. In semi auto mode with 10 rounds I was able to get around a 2 inch group but I would say this BB Machine gun should get closer to a 1 inch grouping as 8 out of the 10 rounds where all within 1 inch of each other so perhaps some human error on my part was at play here. Just for fun I unloaded the last 15 rounds in full auto on the unsuspecting target and as expected the grouping widened to around 4-5 inches.
Personally I prefer the Crosman AR Full Auto BB guns with a rear stock for that added extended shoulder support but the Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun will fit much better into a back pack if you want to take it out in the woods for some shooting fun. Not everyone has a proper backyard or indoor range to use! the Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun is also one of the coolest looking in this lineup so that has to count for something ;) I wonder what Crosman has planned for their line of Full Auto BB Machine guns now that they have several AR versions and even the AK1. Maybe an MP5 or a SCAR?
Type: BB Pistol/Rifle. Manufacturer: Crosman. Model: A4-P. Materials: Metal & plastic. Weight: 5.3 pounds (2.4 kilograms). Length: 21.2 inches. Propulsion: 12 gram CO2 dual cartridges. Action: Blowback - Semi & full auto, single action only. Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 25 rounds. FPS: 430fps. Rate of Fire: 1400 rounds per minute in full auto
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun is single action only since the charging handle must be cocked first before you can shoot it. The trigger is short and fairly light as you would expect from an AR type trigger action. The real fun happens with the Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun when you switch it over to full auto mode and with just one pull and hold of the trigger you empty the 25 round magazine in mere seconds. You may want to pickup the Crosman High Capacity magazine if you plan on doing a lot fo full auto shooting!
Accuracy: I have not made my Field Test Shooting Video just yet but you can checkout my Field Test Shooting Video for the Crosman R1 CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun which is a very similar product to the Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun. I test out the Crosman R1 CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun using my Chronograph where I get an average of 385 fps and a nice 30 foot grouping of right around 1 inch in semi out and a decently tight full auto group of about 3-4 inches. We should expect about the same with the Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun as long as not being able to shoulder it is a big factor?
Build Quality: The Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun is well made all around just like the rest of the Crosman AR series of BB Machine Guns. Weighing in at 5.3 pounds without any add on accessories it feel solid and well built. There is a lot of metal going on inside and out of this rifle but keep in mind the top and bottom receiver are plastic with metal parts where they need to be like in the internals, pretty much all the working parts are metal, the magazine is full metal, the buffer tub is metal, charging handle, selector switch, magazine release, bolt release, trigger and of course the barrel is metal.
Realism: The Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun is about as real as you are going to get in a CO2 Blowback AR/M4 styled Airgun. You can even take it apart and split the top and bottom receivers like the real steal version. The blowback action gives you some recoil but more importantly offers a true single action trigger and of course the full auto ability we all love. Almost all the working parts work like they would on a real AR / M4 other than the forward assist which is moulded into the receiver. Keep in mind this is the pistol version but like other AR styled “Pistols” the buffer tube area is still required to make the action work.
Pros:
Super realistic working M4/AR 4.5mm BB Rifle just like the other Crosman Rifles in this lineup.
Full blowback operation with both semi and full auto shooting, can feel the blowback operation rocking the gun.
Great weight and feel to it.
Almost everything works exactly like the real steel version. (Charging handle, dust cover, bolt release, magazine release, selector switch).
Duel CO2 metal drop out magazine that holds the 25 4.5mm steel BB’s as well as the dual CO2.
Compact maneuverable pistol version but may be able to add an AR butt stock if you want?
Included red dot sight and ability to add pop-up iron sights.
Lots of rails for mounting additional cool hardware.
Removable flash hider.
Works with Crosman High Capacity magazine.
Cons:
Receiver is plastic but well made and does not compromise feel or weight since there is lots of metal throughout this gun.
No iron sights included.
No but stock included.
Comments:
The Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun is really pretty much the same as the Crosman DPMS SBR and Crosman MPW and Crosman R1 CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun with more or less Cosmetic changes, most notably being the lack of a butt stock and being more of the pistol version. Like the otters Crosman AR products, the Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun has an AR compatible pistol grip, adn like the Crosman R1 CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun you also have the ability to change out the flash hider, you can even put a mock suppression on in it if you choose to. No matter which of the Crosman AR Full Auto CO2 BB Rifles you chooses to get they are mechanically every similar and share most of the same parts. If you want the most compact version than the Crosman A4-P CO2 Blowback BB Machine Gun is the way to go!
