Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Full Blowback CO2 BB Pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by Umarex.
Model: Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS.
Materials: Metal & Polymer.
Weight: 1.5 pounds (655 grams).
Total Length: 6.9 inches (17.5cm).
Barrel: Smooth bore 3.5 inch barrel (9cm).
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto blowback, single action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 17 round drop out full size metal magazine.
FPS: Claimed 290.

rigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is very similar to a real steel Glock Pistol as the full blowback action allows for a true single action only trigger and it has similar take-up, weight and release which makes this the perfect trainer if you own a similar Glock. Even the trigger safety is functional and not just for show.

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol so I can only quote what Umarex is saying in terms of FP2 which is around 190. That may seem on the low side for a 4.5 BB Pistol even for a blowback Airgun. This is because the blowback is a true full blowback similar to what you commonly find with Airsoft Blowback Airguns This is not a super efficient design as much of the CO2 usage goes to cycling the action of the slide so less is allocated to going down the barrel and propelling the Steel BB. This type of system also uses more CO2 per shot so it will use up CO2 fast.

Build Quality: The Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pisto being a licensed Glock Pistol means it has to conform to Glocks high standard so it is made very well with excellent fit and finish. Like there real steel version the slide is metal and the frame is a polymer, of course there are other metal components throughout like the magazine, inner and outer barrel, slide catch release and many of the internal parts.

Realism: The Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol absolutely looks the part of a Glock 19 MOS. When sitting on the table and even holding it in your hand, you are going to think it's the real deal until of course you drop the magazine and see that it is a CO2 mag. Mostly everything operates like a real Glock 19 MOS and because it is full blowback the slide cycles all the way back and forth and the slide spring is nice and heavy so there is no lag to it, it does not have the clanky metallic sound a lot of CO2 Blowback pistols have which adds even further to the realism. You can even fully feel strip this version just lie a real Glock 19 MOS.

Pros:

  • Ultra realistic Replica in looks and function.

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

  • Really nice looking and full featured replica of the original Glock 19 Gen 5 MOC.

  • Fully Glock licensed via Umarex

  • Easy to see white dot sights front and back.

  • Recessed barrel for added realism.

  • Accessory rail under barrel for adding a laser or tactical light.

  • MOS (Modular Optical System) on slide for adding a red dot.

  • Comes with MOC adapter plates.

  • Full size drop out metal magazine that holds the CO2 and 17 4.5mm steel BB’s.

  • Slide spring feels really snappy and firm, more than most full blowback Airguns, so it should have a nice heavy blowback recoil feel.

  • Warning instruction are nice and discreet under trigger guard.

  • Fully field strippable.

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

  • Working trigger safety like the real steel version.

  • Has an added Cross Bolt safety on the trigger.

Cons:

  • FPS could be higher but this is generally the case with a full blowback Airgun like this, very similar to Airsoft Full blowback design.

  • Sights are non-adjustable which is common with low cost airguns like this one.

  • No built in serial number safety.

Comments:

I was excited when I first saw the Glock 17 and 19 Gen 5 MOS 4.5mm Steel BB Blowback Airguns at SHOT Show this year adn have been really looking forward to getting my hands on them. Essentially the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pisto is built very much like an Airsoft Full Blowback Airgun but it just shoots 4.5mm Steel BB’s rather than 6mm Airsoft BB’s which some people prefer if you are not so much into Airsoft games. Along with being full blowback the MOS system allows for adding a red dot to the rear of the slide so this gives you even more option when adding accessories to the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. I am pretty sure this one is going to be my favorite Umarex Glock but I’ll know for sure after I Field Test it!

Replica Airguns July 2025 Dual Mystery Box Video

No Comments

Wow, two mystery boxes this time to unpack and see what’s inside! I did have a bit of an idea that there was going to be two new BB Blowback CO2 Glocks from Umarex, the same ones I checked out at this years SHOT Show. There was also some more Air Pistols from various companies. One from Novritsch, the SSX23 NBB Gas Airsoft Pistol, that looked like it was Blowback as the slide does cycles. The Daisy 415 Powerline CO2 BB Pistol, a fairly simplistic Air Pistol, the Vigilante Dual Ammo CO2 BB/Pellet Revolver, I’m pretty sure I have visited before from Crosman. And one more item from Umarex, the Umarex Ruger P345 CO2 NBB Airsoft Pistol keeping to the basic low cost theme.

I also got a few accessor items from a company called GEAR STOCK, Some CO2 in 12 and 88 gram along with some 6mm aluminum Airsoft BB’s. A very cool rechargeable red and green laser that comes in a nice hard shell case and it has a picatinny rail on the bottom she you can stack a second accessory under it.

Here are some links and specs for the Airguns I show off in this mystery box video:

Bug-A-Salt 3.0 Field Test Shooting Video Review

No Comments

Before I get into this Field Test Shooting Video for the Bug-A-Salt 3.0, make sure to watch my Table Top Video Review for it where I go into more details and specifications along with some nice close up video of it. In this Field Test Outdoor Shooting Video I test out the Bug-A-Salt 3.0 on some wrapping paper (Wrapping Tissue Paper) from various distances to see what damage the Bug-A-Salt 3.0 does to it. You do really need to get in pretty close to see significant damage, but if you where a small bug you would at bare minimum be stunned and immobilized waiting for that fatal kill shot.

I was hoping to go on a kind of Bug Safari Hunt out in the yard, so I did a dry run without my cameras running and I quickly found out that bugs in the wild are extremely elusive. They much prefer the comfort of your home which is of course the ideal location for using the Bug-A-Salt 3.0, but not great for shooting a video…

I was not able to record velocity or accuracy for that matter using the Bug-A-Salt 3.0 as it is more like a salt shotgun but as fate would have it, one very unlucky fly did land near by while I was recording, and it met its fate for the sake of this video. I also vaporized some butter cups (These are small yellow flowers that grow wild in the grass). All in all I was able to showcase the effectiveness of the Bug-A-Salt 3.0. My advice is to get in nice and close if you want a one shot kill, or you will have to take some follow up mercy shots.

Alias Gem Mini CO2 Pistol Field Test Shooting Video 4.5mm Steel BB and 6mm Airsoft

No Comments

This Field Test Shooting Video for the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun is part one of three videos where I will be testing out the included 4.5mm Steel BB Barrel and 6mm Airsoft Barrel options that come with it in the box. I also have the .50 Caliber Paintball and rocket Barrels that I will be testing in Field test Videos two and three consecutive to this video. Normally I first test velocity and then I test accuracy, but in this three part video series I test velocity and accuracy at the same time being that the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun is a single shot pistol. I get the same end testing results as I would normally get, but I do only shoot 5 rounds at the target, spoiler alert the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun is not all that accurate, so I am not sure if adding another 5 more shots would have shown us a different result.

In terms of velocity, keep in mind the barrel is super short on the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun at just over 3 inches when using the 4.5mm Steel BB, the 6mm Airsoft, and the .50 caliber Paintball Barrels. That said with 4.5mm Steel BB’s I did average 263 fps and with 6mm .25 gram Plastic Airsoft BB’s, I averaged 383 fps which was actually pretty good. The temperature was mid warm so pretty close to room temperature when I performed my test.

Accuracy was not nearly as good as I was hoping for, I was not expecting stellar results and I would say I got even less than stellar results only getting 3 of the 4.5mm Steel BB’s on the paper target and only 2 of the 6mm Airsoft BB’s on the target. I did struggle with exactly where I needed to aim the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun as BB’s were so inconsistent. Perhaps if I was able to figure out the ideal aim point, I would have had more BB’s land on the target. Even the sights are hard to use with such a small Airgun having a super short barrel. If you are hoping the .50 caliber Paintball rounds and Rockets (Bolts) do better, don’t count on it…

All in all Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun is a super cool and unique Airgun that has a lot of options when it comes to ammo choice. I would not recommend using it at anywhere close to 30 feet away as I did in this test, this is how my Airgun range is setup. It would be a lot better at 20 feet or even 10 feet since it is not a lot of fun if when you shoot at something, you don’t really ever hit it ;) Stay posted for my upcoming Field Test Shooting Videos for the .50 Caliber Paintballs and the Rockets (Bolts). I have also made a Table Top video you can check out if you are interested in more of the details and specifications along with some nice close up video of the Alias GEM Multi Ammo Mini CO2 Airgun.

Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

Before I get into this Field Test Video Review for the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol, make sure to watch my Table Top Video for it if you want information like Specifications and Details along with some more closer up video of it. The Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol for some people will be a pretty entry level BB Pistol many might overlook but if you are simply looking for a Beretta 92 based Airsoft Pistol that is relatively inexpensive to buy and cheap to shoot. And if you don’t need quick semi auto shooting or anything ultra realistic, then the this Spring Airsoft Pistol could be an option for you.

In this video I test out the velocity, accuracy and I basic operation, so let’s get started with the velocity or fps portion of the testing. I loaded up the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol with a full 12 rounds of .12 gram Airsoft BB’s in the drop out magazine. I shot 5 rounds through my Chronograph hitting the following fps: 285, 288, 289, 292, 289, which averaged 289 fps. Umarex claims a velocity of up to 260 fps which I shot a bit over, but if you do plan on using more standard heavier .20 gram Airsoft BB’s, that numbers going to drop a bit perhaps in the mid or lower 200’s.

I then placed a brand new paper target on my backstop 30 feet down range and proceeded to shoot a full 12 round magazine into it using a semi rested shooting position, hands rested on a sand bag up front and sitting on a stool in the back. This generally gives me good stability while performing these field tests but there is always some human factor to take into consideration. I did not get a super impressive grouping, the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol likes to fling Airsoft BB’s around a bit resulting in around a 7 inch grouping. You can see the BB’s curl as they fly through the air. Using heavier Airsoft BB’s should help tighten up the grouping somewhat, but for all intents and purposes I did get all the shots onto my paper target which would represent a person’s mid section well. So if you were using this simple Airsoft Pistol for some fun war games with your friends, you would be able to hit a person easily from closer in ranges.

The Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol is really made for having some fun close range war games with your friends or even shooting pop cans I would say within 20 feet or so. It works pretty good overall with consistent velocity and predictable accuracy even if it is not super accurate. The fact that it is a clear gun makes it a lot less intimidating and for those with parents sitting on the fence about allowing their kids to get an Airsoft Gun, this one may nudge them into the more willing category. So it may come down to the simple fact that you can get this gun or no gun, if your parents are the limiting factor?

Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Airsoft Pistol.
Distributer: Umarex.
Model: Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear.
Materials: Mostly plastic build.
Weight: .5 pounds (227 grams).
Total Length: 8.5 inches (21.6cm).
Barrel: 4.5 inches (114mm), non-rifled.
Propulsion: Spring.
Action: Repeater/Single shot.
Ammunition Type: 6mm Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 12 round drop out magazine.
FPS: 260.

Trigger Pull: The single action only trigger pull on the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol is actually pretty decent as all the work is mainly done cocking the hammer when you pull back the slide to preload the internal spring piston. There is about a half inch of take-up and then another quarter inch before you feel some tension on the trigger, and then about another quarter inch of pull where you can feel the pressure of the release. I would say overall it the weight is on the lighter side but the actual full length is long for a single action only trigger. There is no double action trigger so if you decock the hammer you can not shoot until the hammer has been cocked again.

Accuracy: I did quickly load up a 12 round magazine of Airsoft BB’s and give the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol a bit of a whirl to see what it shot and felt like. Airsoft BB’s did seem to get to the target fairly quickly, I did notice a few of them curve just a bit but they did all hit my paper target close to where I was aiming from 30 feet away. We will see how it shoots when I do make my Field Test Shooting Video for it down the road. I would say the 260 fps claimed velocity looks to be about right but again may actual Chronograph test will tell the true story.

Build Quality: The Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol is an almost all clear plastic built Airsfot Pistol with some scattered metal parts, like the the inner barrel, some springs and screws, and a chunk of metal in the magazine to give it some extra weight and balance. That said the actual fit and finish are good and it should hold up OK since an Airgun this light when dropped has very little mass which can protect it from damage in a fall or drop.

Realism: Again, being a mostly clear plastic Airsoft Pistol with an orange tip, makes this not so real looking as a Replica Airgun, but that is kind of the point here. It is realistic in terms of shape and design to that of a Beretta Mod. 92 FS but that’s about it, the weight is only about a quarter of the real steel version. The Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol is made as perhaps a first time Airsoft Pistol for a younger shooter that may have parents that don’t want them getting anything too realistic looking and potentially getting into trouble with it.

Pros:

  • Fairly low cost and comes with 500 Airsoft BB’s to get you shooting right away.

  • Full size drop size weighted magazine is nice.

  • All the parts feel pretty tight, does not feel overly cheap, has some metal parts where they are needed, barrel, springs, weigght in magazine.

  • Red dot on front sights helps with target acquisition.

  • No CO2 required, just your Airsoft BB’s.

  • Beretta licensing via Umarex.

  • Slide operates as it is required to cock the spring piston.

  • Hammer is actually operational, can be decocted.

  • Makes a good beginner pistol for someone getting into the hobby that may not want a gun that looks super realistic.

  • Not super realistic being clear and having a red tip, so parents may be more open to buying and using for younger shooters.

Cons:

  • It is on the light weight side.

  • Does have an orange tip.

  • Being a clear gun obviously takes away from the realism but that is the point of this gun so as not be confused with a real gun.

  • Loading is a bit finicky.

Comments:

There is a place for an Airsoft Pistol just like this. Something not too realistic but close enough to give a newer shooter an idea of what it might feel like to shoot a gun like this. The price of the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol is reasonable to purchase and the cost to shoot it is low as you already have a bunch of Airsoft BB’s included, so you can get to blasting cans right away. The fact that you have to rack the slide with each shot means it will take a while to get through the initial 500 rounds that come with it, so again there is some cost saving with a setup like this. I think it makes an ideal first target Airsoft Pistol for younger shooters with concerned parents that may just get them into the hobby.
