Type: BB air pistol. Manufacturer: Cybergun. Model:Sig Sauer SP2022. Materials: Metal and polymer build. Weight: 1.7 pounds. Barrel: 4 inches, brass, non-rifled. Propulsion: CO2 x1. Action: Semi auto non-blowback, double action only. Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm. Ammunition Capacity: 23 rounds FPS: 328 (Tested way higher!) Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Sig Sauer SP2028 was much lighter then I expected! As the SP2022 is a double action only pistol, the trigger must first cock the hammer before the hammer can be released, usually requiring additional force. The trigger was a bit long but smooth and light.
Accuracy: Very decent for a low cost short barreled BB shooter, I got just over a 2 inch grouping from a 20 foot away free standing position, shooting just to the left and a bit high. I also put the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Metal Slide version through my Chrony Chronograph and even though the box has a 328 fps rating on it, I got an incredible 8 shot average velocity of 478 fps and no my Chronograph was not broken! I really don't know what to say abut this? Perhaps my gun was an exception or maybe I accidentally got the "powered Version" as one does exist from Cybegun with a higher 426 fps claimed velocity. Or maybe they are all just this way? Build Quality: Very good, I was extremely pleased with the fit and finish of my Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro! The metal slide and polymer frame along with the all metal full size drop out magazine gave this air pistol a really nice balance and weight to it, I would expect it to be very similar to the real steel as they are both constructed similarly.
Realism: The Cybergun Sig Pro SP2022 is very close to the look, weight, and feel of the real Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro! For a lower cost airgun, I was very impressed with all the detail that it had including the licensing and trademarks throughout the pistol and amazing attention to detail. Available From: The Replica Airguns Store
Pros:
Good weight and very solid feeling gun.
Metal slide and all metal full size drop out magazine.
Very Accurate licensed Sig Sauer SP2022 replica.
Crazy high fps results!
Very affordable.
Fairly light double action trigger.
Magazine holds both the CO2 and BB's - always nice.
Recessed barrel for added realism.
Good overall accuracy and shots per CO2.
Cons:
Non-blowback and the slide does not move either.
The hammer is only for show and does not move when firing.
Non adjustable rear sights.
Comments: I ordered my Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro with two other Cybergun pistols (The Jericho 941 and Sigarms GSR), all of them in the lower and more affordable price point, out of all three of them so far I am really liking the SP2022 for a lot of reasons: It just looks really good, it has good weight and feel, for an air pistol in this price range to have a metal slide and full metal drop out magazine is also a welcome change. But most of all mine shot so much harder then expected that I was almost afraid to publish my test results! Even if it shot closer to the claimed fps this gun is well worth it and I would still be very happy and quick to recommend the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro.
My YouTube Videos for the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro Metal Slide version Airgun:
I wanted to give you a quick preview of some very nice yet inexpensive Cybergun - KWC BB guns I received today, and I am happy to say I'm also selling them in the Replica Airguns Store.
The Cybergun Air Pistols are the Sig Sauer SP2022, the Jericho 941, and the Sigarms GSR. All of which have metal slides, full size all metal drop out magazines and corresponding licensing and trademarks. Make sure to scroll down to the bottom of this preview where you will find my YouTube video Preview for these Cybergun Air Pistols.
First off is the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022:
This BB shooting Sig Sauer SP2022 is a metal and polymer gun with a metal slide and polymer frame just like the real steel it is licensed under. The full size drop out all metal magazine holds the 23 BB's and CO2. The Sig Sauer SP2022 shoots 4.5mm steel BB's, has a rated velocity of 328 fps, weighs in at 1.7 pounds, has a double action only trigger and is just over 7 inches long. The SP2022 is probably my favorite gun out of all of them so far!
2nd we have the Cybergun IWI Jericho 941:
The Jericho 941 is a replica of the Baby Desert Eagle and is the most powerful out of the group with a claimed velocity of 443 fps. The Jericho 941 also has a full metal slide, metal outer barrel, and full size metal drop out magazine that holds 22 4.5mm steel BB's and the CO2. The Jericho 941 weighs in at a hefty 2 pounds and is over 8 inches long with a double action only trigger. It also is claimed to get more than 200 shots out of a single CO2 cartridge!
Lastly we have the Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms:
By far the heaviest gun out of the trio, the GSR comes in at 2.4 pounds and is made almost entirely out of metal, even including the grips so if your looking for a gun that feels the part this is the one for you. The Sig Sauer GSR also has the full size drop out metal magazine like the rest of them and can hold 21 4.5mm steel BB's along with the CO2 in it. You can expect to get close to 400 fps and the 1911 styled GSR even has a true 1911 styled trigger, although it is double action only.
All three of these Cybergun - KWC value priced air pistols are available at the Replica Airguns Store so make sure to drop in and get yours today!
Checkout my Vimeo Video Preview of these very fine Cybergun Air Pistols:
Last but not least and maybe my favorite out of the bunch, the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro with metal slide. make sure if you buy this one to get the metal slide version as they make it in a plastic slide version too which I don't carry.
This is a Cybergun distributed air pistol made by KWC, the Sig Sauer SP2022 is a very detailed replica of the real steel Sig Sauer SP2022 Sig Pro used by the DEA and many other law enforcement agencies worldwide. The Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 features a metal slide and full size drop out all metal magazine giving this BB pistol even more realism! It has a very light double action trigger and working magazine release and safety.
Cybergun product number two to be added to the Replica Airguns Store store is the Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms in all metal!
This is a Cybergun distributed air pistol made by KWC, the Sig Sauer GSR is a very detailed replica of the real steel Sig Sauer GSR Sigarms 45 ACP. This Cybergun product is virtually all metal even including the side panel grips! The Cybergun Sig Sauer GSR features a full size all metal drop out magazine giving this BB pistol even more realism! It is a very heavy 2.4 pounds and has a working magazine release and safety.
I received three new Cybergun/KWC products today, all of them well under the $100 price point but with a lot of metal parts and full size drop out metal magazines.
This is a Cybergun distributed air pistol made by KWC, the Cybergun Jericho 941 is a very detailed replica of the real steel IWI Jericho 941 9 mm Baby Desert Eagle. This Cybergun product has a metal slide and polymer frame with a full size all metal drop out magazine giving this BB pistol excellent wight and realism! The manufactures claims up to 200 shots out of an individual CO2. The Jericho 941 has a working magazine release and safety.
I've had several inquiries about adding the Baikal MP-655K to the store and I am proud to let you know we now have another very fine Baikal product available for sale.
This finely crafted Baikal MP-655Kair pistol is capabel fo firing both Pellet and BB using either an 8 shot pellet magazine or switching it over to a BB magazine that loads BB's from a 100 round internal hopper. The MP-655K has a rifled barrel and is know to be very accurate even when shooting BB's from it. It is a replica of the Baikal Viking and just like teh real steel it incorporates metal slide and polymer frame. The Drop out magazine neatly holds and conceals the CO2.
Action: Electronic trigger with 1-3-6 round burst & 300-340-600 Rounds Per Minute.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 30 rounds.
FPS: 360-500.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the IZH Drozd is nice and light due to the fact that the trigger is not mechanical but is instead an electronic on-off switch that operates a solenoid. The solenoid pulsates in turn hitting the CO2 valve release. This is how the single fire and burst fire rates are achieved.
Accuracy: When I was sighting the Baikal Drozd in I got several 5 shot groups well within 1 inch 30 feet out from the target. But when I did my actual video accuracy test, the Drozd did not perform as well, getting more like a 2 inch group, still very reasonable for a gun that can shoot 600 rounds per minute out of the box and 1200 rounds per minute when modified. With metal streaming out the barrel like that you are pretty much going to hit what ever you point it at, the odds are in your favor!
Build Quality: This is a typical Russian made gun, all business and less importance put on looks but even so it is visually appealing, at least to me! Everything works exactly as it should and even though the main shell is plastic it is really a weapons grade polymer so there is no cause for concern here. There are a fair amount of metal components like the factory barrel, most of the magazine and many internal parts.
Realism: Again, the Baikal Drozd IZH MP-661K is not a replica, but it does look like a sub machine gun in many ways, I'm really just not sure exactly what it looks like but when you are shooting this gun you really don't think much about this point because you are too busy grinning!
Rear stock can get lose sometimes (just add some tape to tighten it up a bit).
Comments:
The Baikal IZH MP-661K is one of the most fun BB machine guns out there and well worth the extra cost to get such a quality product that not only is great out of the box but can also be modified in so many ways to improve it's performance and looks dramatically. Sure the Baikal IZH MP-661K now has a big brother, the Drozd Blackbird, but the Blackbird may be just a bit of overkill for some, I kind of like the Drozd Classics more compact size and if you can't nail what your shooting at with 30 rounds then your doing something very wrong! The Drozd is really the epitome of extreme BB gun weaponry!
My Vimeo Video Review for this Russian made BB Machine gun:
We now have some extra magazines available for our popular BB shooting Colt Special Combat! Not only odes the magazine hold the 20 rounds of BB's but also a CO2 cartridge. So if you already have a Colt Special Combat or you're thinking of getting one, be sure to pickup an extra magazine while you're at it!
Action: Semi auto blowback, double and single action.
Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.
Ammunition Capacity: 18 rounds
FPS: 330
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Sig Sauer X-Five is what you would expect from a real automatic pistol, in single action mode it is very light and short. The blowback action re-cocks the hammer with each shot.
Accuracy: Excellent for a BB shooter, I got about a 1 inch grouping from a 20 foot away free standing position with this red dot equipped BB shooter. I also put the Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 Open version through my Chrony Chronograph and even though the box has a 300 FPS rating on it I, I was able to get an 8 shot average of 343 FPS.
Build Quality: Excellent, with an almost all metal construction, this gun has some weight to it and the craftsmanship is also very good!
Realism: The Cybergun Sig Sauer X-Five P226 is as close as you can come to the look, weight, feel, and action of the real Sig Sauer X-Five. P226! Everything about this gun makes it feel real, it would make an excellent training gun for someone just getting started in the sport or even for a skilled semi auto shooter wanting to hone their skills when a gun range is not easily accessible.
Sacrifice some fps and shots per CO2 because of the heavy blowback but worth it.
A bit hard to load up.
Can not field strip without taking off the sight rail?
Comments:
This Cybergun BB air pistol is styled after many modern blowback Airsoft pistols, this means it functions very similarly to the real steel. It is a very hefty gun made almost entirely from metal and has a very snappy blowback action which adds to its shooting realism. Even the magazine looks and feels like a real 9mm magazine with similar weight and dimensions. The Cybergun Sig Sauer X-Five Open version shoots even more accurately than the non-sight rail version because of the addition of a Red Dot scope helping the accuracy! Both the regular version of teh Sig Sauer X-Five P226 and this "Open" version are absolutely great air pistols but for the extra $10 price tag you get some really nice additions to this pistol including an adjustable rear sight.
My Vimeo Videos for this very fine Cybergun Sig Sauer P226 X-Five Open version Airgun:
The results are in and you're going to have to watch my YouTube video to see who won this time! As alway the video will be at the bottom of the post for you to view and it's not really a long one.
I want to thank everyone again for taking part in this Contest-Giveaway, I really noticed a boost in Subscribers and even some more traffic on the my ReplicaAirguns.com Website!
Materials: Plastic (polymer) and some metal construction.
Weight: 2.95 pounds.
Barrel: 9.75 inches, metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1 (88 gram).
Action: Semi/Full auto 1-4-8 shot burst, electronic trigger motor driven.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's
Ammunition Capacity: 360-400round hopper with 24 shot internal spring fed magazine.
FPS: 540 (single shot).
Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Umarex EBOS is electronic so it does not have any real distinct break point or resistance to it. It is essentially a switch that actives a motor and the motor operates the CO2 valve. It works very well and even in single fire mode you can fire very quickly, almost as fast as when shooting in 500 rounds per minute mode but with a lot more effort from the user!
Accuracy: I shot this CO2 BB Machine gun at a target from 30 feet away using my EOTech Styled Red-Green Dot Tactical Scope in a semi rested standing position, and it performed excellent getting a little over a 1 inch grouping fairly centered on target. I also performed my accuracy test in full auto 8 round burst mode and although the grouping did get a bit larger, the EBOS still stayed well on target. I decided to use a partially used 88 gram CO2 cartridge to see what the EBOS could do in a very real world Feet Per Second test and I was able to get a 481 fps average 8 shot result which was very good considering I was well into the CO2 tank at that point. On a brand new CO2 cartridge, attaining the maximum claimed fps rating is very achievable.
Build Quality: The EBOS is an almost all external polymer air gun with some metal components on the inside. For the most part it feels solid and has good weight especially when you load up the 88 gram CO2 tank and slap on a Red Dot and a couple other accessories. Everything seemed to operate as you would expect and I especially liked the easy access to the CO2 and well designed rear stock which conceals the CO2 cartridge very nicely. My only concern with the EBOS is the front barrel which protrudes out from the EBOS a bit and because it is made of plastic, it may be prone to breakage in the event of a drop directly onto the barrel.
Realism: The Umarex EBOS BB machine gun doesn't closely look like any specific Tactical rifle, but does have that very assault rifle look to it. It almost looks to me like something from a Science Fiction movie!
The all plastic exterior may put off some people looking for a heavier more metal gun.
88 Gram CO2 can be a bit pricy, not as cost effective as 12 gram CO2.
The rear sight was way to wide - it is the first thing to replace or upgrade.
The plastic barrel worries me just a bit in the event of a fall?
Comments:
The Umarex EBOS is a really - really fun BB gun! That should almost be enough right there to buy it on the spot as it's not all that expensive all thing considered! The EBOS has a lot going for it, nice high up to 540 fps velocities, very good accuracy for a BB shooter even in full auto mode, a high capacity CO2 and BB feeding system, versatile shooting selection (1-4-8 shot burst) and (300-400-500 rounds per minute), the ability to add accessories top and bottom and a price tag that is very reasonable. Unfortunately this Umarex product is not that readily available here in Canada because the scary 540 FPS rating on the box, but for you non-Canadians, you're in luck so make sure to think about us Canucks when your spraying BB's with the Umarex EBOS.
Watch my Vimeo Video Review of the Umarex EBOS CO2 BB Machine gun:
The Cybergun Mini UZI has been a really popular Blowback BB gun with the most realistic Blowback recoil available. This UZI replica looks, feels sand shoots just like the real 9mm Mini UZI and has lots of metal on it giving it close to a 5 pound weight. It comes out of the box as a semi auto CO2 driven Air gun but can be easily converted to full auto if so desired - check out this link for the details on converting it to full auto. I also have a full video review located here.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman PRO77 is good and light as it should be for a single action only airgun. I did find it to be a bit creepy when the magazine is loaded but on an unloaded magazine it is smooth as silk. There must be something going on with the chambering of BB's.
Accuracy: I found the Crosman PRO77 to be a decent shooter, getting about a 2 inch grouping from 20 feet out standing in a free standing position. After my test grouping I shot another 2 magazines into the target in a more rushed shooting style and the pattern did not grow much larger than the original 2 inches. I also put 8 rounds through my Chrony Chronograph and the PRO77 averaged a respectable 285 fps, not too far off of the factory claim of 325 fps and keep in mind it was not a very warm day for the testing.
Build Quality: The Crosman PRO77 looks and feels overall like a pretty well made airgun. The slide, trigger, hammer, slide release, CO2 screw and safety are all made out of metal. The only part that could use an upgrade would be the all plastic magazine, it would have been nice to have a metal magazine for durability and a bit extra weight in the gun. The fit and paint looked good and did not show any signs of wear problems in the high point areas.
Realism: The Crosman PRO77 is not a Replica gun so to speak but it does look a bit like a combination of perhaps a Sig Sauer, Steyr M9 and maybe even a little Walther P series thrown in to the pot? Crosman seems to keep well away from licensing guns for the most part. Maybe they figure they can put more money into the product and less money into other companies accounts?
A bit low on fps compared to some other blowback guns.
Ejection port is not cut out but molded into the slide.
Magazine could have been made out of metal and not all plastic.
Non-adjustable sights, kind of normal in this category.
Comments:
The Crosman PRO77 I believe is Crosman's first modern blowback operated air pistol and they did a pretty good job with it getting most things right like a true single action trigger and working hammer, a discreet CO2 system, lots of metal parts where they really need to be and an overall good performer. Sure there is room for some improvement but as a first attempt it's a nice gun and not one that's going to set you back to much money either. I am looking forward to Crosman's upcoming blowback air pistol, the C51 that should be out in a month or two...
My Vimeo Video Review of the Crosman PRO77 Blowback BB Pistol:
Type: Pellet & BB air pistol. Manufacturer:UmarexUSA. Model:Smith & Wesson M&P 45. Materials: Plastic (polymer) and metal construction. Weight: 1.35 pounds. Barrel: 3.3 inches, metal rifled. Propulsion: CO2 x 1. Action: Semi auto, single and double action. Ammunition Type: .177 caliber Pellets and 4.5mm BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 8 shot rotary magazine. FPS: 360. Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P 45 is better then with the Umarex PPQ and not only because you also get a single action trigger with the S&W M&P 45 but the double action trigger is also smother with less force required. Shooting this gun pre-cocked in single action mode is great for when you want to zone in on a target but you can always shoot double action when it's time to just blast! Accuracy: I shot this air pistol at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and it performed well getting a decent 2 inch grouping with both the pellets and the BB's very close to the center of the target. I found it performed equally as well in both single and double action. As I shot this gun I seemed to get more focussed and I ended up getting tighter groupings with it. The sights can be adjusted for windage if your aim is off to one side or the other. My Chrony Chronograph testing using 6.9 grain lead pellets and standard weight BB's averaged about the same in the 330-340 fps.
Build Quality: This is an almost all external polymer air gun with a good deal of metal components on the inside giving the S&W M&P 45 a decent overall weight and heft. I actually felt the stated weight seemed a bit low, it would be interesting to put this one on a scale and find out for sure? Some of the external metal parts worth noting are the safety switch, slide release, and trigger. The fit and finish is very good on the PPQ and the plastic is the good stuff just like the similarly made Umarex PPQ. Realism: The Umarex S&W M&P 45 is a licensed replica of the actual Smith & Wesson M&P 45 semi auto pistol. It is a very close looking copy with the exception of the missing extractor pin and right side slide release. There is a lot of attention to detail that helps make this gun very believable like the large diameter barrel opening and Smith and Wesson markings throughout the airgun! Provided by:UmarexUSA.
Pros:
Very reasonable price for a well made full featured airgun.
Excellent reproduction of the real S&W M&P 45 semi auto pistol.
Shoots both pellets and BB's.
Rifled barrel.
Easy to use yellow dot sights adjustable for windage.
Slide catch and safety are realistic and functional.
Single and double action trigger.
Well designed CO2 access both hides the CO2 and makes it easy to install.
Good combination of power, accuracy and CO2 efficiency - I got 10 good magazines
Even though there is a lot of plastic on the outside, there is a lot of metal on the inside giving this airgun some good weight and heft.
Cons:
The plastic exterior may put off some customers looking for metal guns.
Missing extractor pin takes a bit away form the realism.
Could have just a bit more power - would be worth getting less shots per CO2.
Comments: The Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P 45 Pellet and BB CO2 air pistol really impressed me. I was already fairly impressed with the Umarex PPQ and how far a little bit of money went with that very similarly designed Umarex model. But I have to say for me the S&W M&P 45 has the clear advantage mainly because of the addition of the single action trigger. The Umarex S&W M&P 45 really has a lot going for it: Great entry level price point, it shoots both Pellets or BB's, it has a rifled barrel, an adjustable rear sight, good accuracy with decent power and CO2 efficient and great looks. As with the Umarex PPQ, these qualities make it very easy to overlook the mostly plastic exterior!
My YouTube Video Review for this versatile Smith & Wesson Pellet and BB CO2 Pistol:
Type: BB Air Pistol. Manufacturer:Crosman. Model:C41. Materials: Metal & plasctic. Weight: 2 pounds. Barrel: 5.19 inches, metal non-rifled. Propulsion: CO2 x1 (12 gram). Action: Semi auto double action only. Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 18 rounds. FPS: 495. Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman C42 is surprisingly good for a double action only airgun, it is a tad bit long but the extra length seems to smooth out the trigger pull giving the C41 a light yet predictable trigger pull. Accuracy: This BB shooter out of the box did not do very well! It did get better over time and I was able to get closer to a 2 inch grouping from 20 feet out in a free standing position. My Crosman C41 had a noticeable amount of oil on the magazine when I got it and if this oil came from the internal parts of the gun, the oil could most certainly effect accuracy and feet per second ratings. I also noticed that the FPS seemed to increase over time which is contradictory to how CO2 generally performs. (Usually FPS lowers as the CO2 gets used up and the gun cools down)
Build Quality: This is a relatively inexpensive air gun to purchase, in most cases an airgun in this price range will be mostly made out of plastic but the C41 is the other way around and is almost all metal! It isn't an overly complicated gun with a lot of moving parts other than the slide and trigger so to speak, but that means there is less to go wrong. This gun is very rugged with the exception of the handle which seems a bit loose but I doubt will cause any problems down the road. Realism: Although the Crosman C41 is not advertised as a Walther P38 Replica nor is it licensed in any way, it does very closely resemble the Walther P38 semi auto 9mm pistol used in the Second World War. There are some slight differences but overall it is a close copy to the German Walther P38. Available in the:Replica Airguns Store.
Pros:
Low price for an all metal gun.
Very solid feeling gun.
Nice all metal drop out magazine.
Nice combination of FPS and accuracy.
Excellent CO2 efficiency - over 150 shots per CO2!
Not too many World War Two Replicas - nice version of the German Walther P38.
CO2 and CO2 tab are nicely hidden.
Nice smooth trigger pull for a double action only gun.
Cons:
Not a lot of working parts (left side safety and hammer molded into gun).
Grips are fairly lose, they don't really snap into open or closed position all that well.
FPS did't get that close to the factory claim of 495 FPS - but was increasing over time.
Handle may be a bit thick for smaller hands?
Comments: The Crosman C41 has an excellent combination of FPS, Accuracy and CO2 efficiency with an amazing 150 plus shots per CO2. It is also one of the few older styled replicas available, closly replicating the German made Walther P38 9mm semi auto pistol used in the Second World War making it a great addition to any airgun collection. The Crosman C41 is a very good overall airgun for the money giving you pretty much an all metal airgun that should give you years of enjoyment.
My YouTube Video Review of the Walther P38 looking Crosman C41:
My recently acquired (Thanks UmarexUSA) Umaerx EBOS CO2 BB Machine Gun was just screaming for some add-ons and to be honest the first thing that I noticed was the open sights really needed upgrading. Luckily the rear sight is removable allowing you to mount just about any type of Red Dot Scope or sighting system you want, just make sure it is high enough to see up and over the front BB hopper.
I finished off the look with an unobtrusive Tactical Rail Mount Flashlight. All in all I think I spent about as much if not more on accessories for this gun as it is worth to buy :)
I hope to review the EBOS sometime next week. Basically the Umarex EBOS is a CO2 powered 1-4-8 shot burst machine gun that uses an electrically powered trigger system in conjunction with an 88 gram CO2 Power-source to hurl BB's at just over 500 FPS downrange. Should be fun!
Type: CO2 BB Shotgun. Manufacturer:UmarexUSA. Model:Walther SG9000. Materials: Plastic (polymer) and some metal construction. Weight: 2.35 pounds. Barrel: 11.5 inches, metal non-rifled. Propulsion: CO2 x 1 (88 gram). Action: Semi auto, double action only. Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's Ammunition Capacity: 40 shot internal spring fed magazine. FPS: 480 (single shot) - 250 (three shot burst). Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Walther SG 9000 is in the mid range and is a bit long but once you get used to it you can fire off shots very quickly with little resistance. There really aren't any sticky spots in the trigger pull to speak of.
Accuracy: I shot this CO2 BB Shotgun at a target from the hip 20 feet away using my NcSTAR laser sight I installed on it in a free standing position, and it performed excellent getting a 1.5 inch grouping fairly centered on target. I also performed my accuracy test from 30 feet out in a semi-rested position using my 6x32 NcSTAR Scope and again I got a 1.5 inch grouping proving that a BB gun can show decent accuracy even from further out when setup properly. With my Chrony Chronograph testing I scored much higher then the factory claimed feet per second of 480fps in single shot mode and 250fps in three shot burst mode. I ended up getting an average 8 shot fps in single shot mode of 504fps and 309fps in three shot burst mode! Build Quality: This is an almost all external polymer air gun with some metal components on the inside giving the Walther SG9000 a bit of a light to medium overall weight but once you add the large 88 gram CO2 cartridge and some accessories this gun can quickly gain a pound or two. All four accessory rails are metal along with the trigger. The fit and finish is very good on the SG9000 and the plastic quality seems very durable.
Realism: The Umarex Walther SG9000 is licensed by Walther but other then a similarity in the pistol grip it doesn't closely look like any specific Walther product or any specific Tactical shotgun for that matter. It does have a very tactical look and with a few accessories added you will have yourself a very persuasive looking shotgun on your hands. Supplied by UmarexUSA - Can be purchased from: The Replica Airguns Store.
Pros:
Inexpensive versatile BB shotgun.
Nothing else really like it out there.
Multiple shooting modes - singe and three shot burst.
Uses 88 Gram CO2 so less stopping to change CO2.
Very good FPS readings - above factory claims.
Very accurate for a BB gun from close up and further out.
Lots of rail locations for all kinds of accessories and different customizable looks.
High capacity 40 round internal magazine.
Totally fun!
Cons:
The plastic exterior may put off some people looking for a heavier more metal gun.
88 Gram CO2 can be a bit pricy, not as cost effective as 12 gram CO2.
Trigger pull is kind of long.
You will need to purchase some sort of a sighting system for it as all you have is a rail on top.
Comments: The Umarex Walther SG9000 is a really fun and very inexpensive CO2 BB shotgun. With its multiple shooting modes you have the option of power and accuracy in single shot mode or to simply blow stuff away in three shot burst mode. The Walther SG9000 is also very customizable allowing you to really make this Tactical BB shotgun your own by decking it out with just about any combination of add ons and accessories you like! I found this gun the most fun to shoot in three shot burst mode using my laser sight and literally knocking down everything I pointed at!
Watch my YouTube Video Review of the Umarex Walther SG9000 CO2 BB Shotgun:
Crosman Corporation sent me two CO2 BB guns for review and like my recently received Umarex Air guns I thought I would make a quick Preview Video before I go into detail with them and make the full Review videos.
A few highlights worth mentioning about each air gun:
The Crosman C41 is an all metal gun weighing in at close to 3 pounds!
The Crosman C41 has a high fps of 495fps and should also do very well in the accuracy department.
The PRO77 is a metal and polymer airgun with heavy blowback operation.
The PRO77 is a single action only gun with a working hammer.
The Crosman 1377 American Classic is a .177 caliber pellet pistol capable of up to 499fps
The Crosman 1377 is extremely accurate and can be modified a number of different ways with parts readily available for this very fine target air pistol.
Take a quick look at these three Crosman products in my YouTube video:
A few highlights worth mentioning about each air gun:
The Walther SG9000 shoots in both single shot and a 3 shot burst that fires all 3 rounds at exactly the same time, in the same manner that an actual shotgun would simultaneously fire all the buck shot.
The Walther SG9000 is capable of 480 fps and uses an 88gram CO2 cartridge so you can refill the 40 rounds spring fed magazine a multitude of times before needing to replace your CO2.
The Walther SG9000 does not come with any actual sights so you will need to add either a Red Dot Scope or Laser on to one of the many provided Picatinny rails located on the shotgun.
The S&W M&P 45 can shoot in both double action and also single action by pulling the rear portion of the slide back to cock the internal hammer allowing for a very light single action trigger.
The Smith & Wesson M&P 45 has a very nice solid weight to it, I was actually surprised at how hefty it was considering it has a mainly all plastic outer shell, my best guess would be close to 2 pounds. I think it's time to invest in a scale!
The S&W M&P 45 also has a recessed barrel giving the muzzle the large caliber look of a real 45 auto adding to the realism of this replica gun.
