I will be doing full reviews of these three Retay guns; the CS9 (Smith & Wesson CS9 Copy), Baron HK (Sig Sauer P228 Copy), and the Eagle (Desert Eagle Copy). For know I wanted to at least give you a quick preview video of them. My full review videos will focus on each Retay blank gun individually and go into detail with shooting tests and Fields Strips when possible.

My basic first impressions of this new blank gun offering from Retay is that they are a welcome addition to our current blank gun offerings here in Canada and what I like most is that all three guns are very different in look and design then the EKOL guns we have had for some time now. As far as quality goes, I would say they are on par with the EKOL guns and being that they are made in Turkey this shouldn't be too unexpected.

Keep checking back as I will be reviewing all three Retay 9mm P.A.K. blank guns over the next little while.

Last but not least and certainly not the smallest! I just added the Retay Desert to the Replica Airguns Store. And I am sure most of you can figure out what this 9mm P.A.K. blank shooter is a replica of... the infamous Desert Eagle! I wanted to make this one just a bit more special by also offering it in a shiny Nickel finish. It also comes in Matte Black and Chrome but keep in mind that Turkish Chrome is not a shiny Chrome, it's more like a soft metal look.The Retay Desert is being pre-sold at a special pre-sale savings of $44 off on this one, shipping right around October 20th.

The Retay Eagle is a very nice copy of the IMI Desert Eagle full size semi auto pistol. It is a mostly all metal 9mm P.A.K. blank shooter that is front firing and comes in a hard shell case with a flare adaptor. This blanks shooter can be shot in both single and double action and is a real handful!

• 9mm P.A.K blanks
• 18+1 round magazines

Another Retay blank gun added to the Replica Airguns Store is one of my favorites, the Retay Baron HK which is a very accurate copy of the Sig Sauer P228, I know because I own one! This model comes in Matte Black and Satin and is also available at a $24 discount right now as a pre-order item with stock being available right around October 20th.

The Retay Baron HK is a nice copy of the Sig Sauer P228 mid sized semi auto pistol. It is a mostly all metal 9mm P.A.K. blank shooter that is front firing and comes in a hard shell case with a flare adaptor. Additionally it utilizes a de-cocker and fires in single action only.

I am happy to announce that I just added the Retay line of 9mm P.A.K blank guns to my Replica Airguns Store. The first one I am listing here is the Retay CS9.

The Retay CS9 is available in Matte Black and Satin finish.

The Retay CS9 is a nice copy of the Smith & Wesson CS9 compact semi auto pistol. It is a mostly all metal 9mm P.A.K. blank shooter that is front firing and comes in a hard shell case with a flare adaptor. Additionally it utilizes a de-cocker and fires in single action only.

I just got three new 9mm P.A.K. Blank guns to look over. These ones are from Retay, another Turkish company. Retay makes a Smith and Wesson CS9 copy, a Sig Suaer P228 copy, and a Dessert Eagle copy. And I have to say they look pretty darn good on first impression. Now I know I'm going to be getting emailed like crazy about whether we are going to be carrying these guns and you're just going to have to wait to find out. So stay tuned for more information to follow...

Here's some photos to keep you drooling for now!

This is going to be a rather short lived post because I think this will be the last of these very popular Zoraki M906 blank guns. I was only able get a small batch of them and based on all the request I have had since we ran out, I'm pretty sure they will be gone fairly quickly. So if you're one of the people who has been emailing me asking for one, this is probably your last chance to get one.

As promised, I went out and picked up some Reball (reusable) paintballs to try in my Tacamo T68 AK47 styled paintball rifle. I wanted to see what kind of damage they could inflict on various targets. The purpose of the Reball is mainly for practice or training use with paintball guns, they are also used in some indoor paintball facilities. Reballs have the advantage of not only being reusable but also not making a lot of mess.

Another benefit is that Reballs do not break apart and so they will deliver more energy on target which may be useful in a self defense situation with a high fps Paintball gun. Now I am not recommending these guns in any ways to be used for self defense or non-lethal use but other people have suggested it to me, and I wanted to see what these little rubber balls could do to different targets.

Keep in mind I was not looking for penetration as that is not the purpose of a "traumatic round", such as a rubber bullet. Rubber bullets are not supposed to penetrate but rather stun a person.

I found the Rubber Reball Paintballs to be about the same weight as standard paintballs and so they shoot about the same fps which in my gun was about 350 fps.

In conclusion, I would not want to be shot with a Reball out of a high fps paintball gun, as for stopping an intruder, maybe? You most certainly would be able to pick them out of a police lineup because they would be riddled with red welts :)

Update on 2011-09-21 19:37 by Michael Kaye

The price has gone up due to high demand and low supply. I sell them much cheaper if you purchase blanks with a gun. If you are one of my customers that purchased a blank gun while we did not have any blanks available, please contact me with your order number and I will sell them to you at the older price.

I get a fair bit of interest and questions from people in the TV, Movie, Stage, Internet and Photo business looking for guns they can use in their productions, so I thought I would put together an informative video to show them some options available to them at least here in Canada.

The problem is a lot of times a "Gun Handler" is required, as in many cases real firearms are used and very strict guidelines need to be in place for obvious safety reasons. This is most likely the best option in the case of a Matrix styled movie and an extensive amount of guns are required in the production. What if you only need a few guns and you want to keep your budget and complications to a minimum? Well there are other options and that's where I come in.

Watch this short Promotional Video for more information if you are looking for a simplified and easy solution for your realistic gun use in Movie, Stage, Internet and Photo productions.

And the winner is... Rambo1216

Type: Paintball air rifle.

Manufacturer: Tacamo (unbranded).

Model: T86 AK47.

Materials: Metal & wood build.

Weight: 8 pounds.

Barrel: 14 inches, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 or compressed air.

Action: Semi auto blowback, single action only.

Ammunition Type: Paintball marker .68 caliber.

Ammunition Capacity: Dependent on hopper system used.

FPS: 350

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Tacamo T68 AK-47 is what you would expect from a blowback operated single action gun, easy and light with just a bit of creep to it. The action of the bolt gives the gun a nice little snap to it and with the extra CO2 needed to push out the large .68 caliber paintball markers you also get a little bit of recoil adding to the shooting enjoyment.

Accuracy: I'm not going to spend a lot of time talking about accuracy with the Tacamo T68 Paintball gun as I don't really have any other references to base it on but I can say I was pretty impressed with how well it stayed on target considering most paintball ammo is not really uniform in shape which effects accuracy a lot. I was also expecting lower FPS performance closer to the 250-300 FPS range but I got nice consistent 350 FPS shots with the Tacamo T68 AK47.

Build Quality: Very nice, the  Tacamo T68 AK-47 is made of mostly metal and wood with many actual parts from a real AK 47 including the wood handle and stock, rear sight, safety, magazine and authentic strap. The Tacamo Paintball rifle has some weight to it also making the AK 47 replica feel solid and durable.

Realism: Again the Tacamo AK 47 replica is made of lots of real AK47 parts making this gun very realistic, you can't really get around the telltale Paintball marker top loading tube and CO2 hookups but other then that the Tacamo AK47 really looks like a an actual AK47, so if you want to play the bad guy you can definitely pull it off with this replica paintball rifle.

Available From: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• Very believable AK 47 replica.
• Lots of real AK-47 parts
• Mostly metal and wood design.
• Magazine can be used for storage of tools or extra paintballs
• Adjustable sights
• 3 models to choose from with different styled stocks.
• Comes with genuine strap.
• Fun to play the bad guy with this villainous rifle.

Cons:

• Semi auto only, no full auto - would have been nice!
• May be a bit large and heavy compared to other more compact Paintball guns.
• A few paintballs broke in my barrel when shooting, FPS pressure may have been set too high?

Comments:

I really like my Tacamo T68 AK47 Paintball rifle, again I have virtually no experience with Paintball guns so my reasons for liking it are mostly based on the all metal and wood build and real AK 47 look of the Tacamo T68 AK47. That said I thought it performed pretty good overall getting decent accuracy and shooting well into the 300+ FPS. I may pull this one out once in a while even to shot some various targets just because it does have a more realistic recoil feel when shooting then my smaller caliber pellet and BB airguns.

After what seemed like an eternity, I finally caved in to popular demand and brought the very Glock-like Umarex SA177 Blowback BB Pistol to the Replica Airguns Store!

I stepped it up a notch and have included not just one but two magazines with every SA177 so you can practice your quick magazine changes and just keep on shooting :) After all, isn't that what you really want to do?

Here 's some more info on the SA177 from Umarex:

The Umarex SA177 BB Repeater is modeled after the popular Glock carry pistol widely used by governmental agencies, and it uses blowback action to simulate a real firearm. The metal slide and integrated accessory rail add to the overall realism of this gun. A drop-out metal magazine houses the CO2 and 19 BBs for the air pistol. The fiber optic sights and ergonomic grips allow for accurate and comfortable shooting at up to 400 fps velocity which is very high for a gun in this price range and with blowback functionality.

• 4.5mm BB
• CO2 Powered
• 19 round metal magazine
• 400 fps
• 1.5 pounds
• 4.1 inch steel non-rifled barrel
• Double action
• Blowback
• Metal slide - polymer frame
• Tactical Rail Mount
• Fiber optic sights
• Comes with two magazines

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Cybergun.

Model:Sig Sauer X-Five P226 Open.

Materials: 99% all metal build.

Weight: 2.86 pounds.

Barrel: 4.4 inches, brass, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x1.

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.

Available From: The Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• All metal construction - Extremely good weight and solid feeling gun. As real as you can get in an airgun.

• Heavy blowback action adds to the realism.

• Very Accurate Sig Sauer replica.

• Really good accuracy for a BB gun (Red Dot helps),

• Awesome training gun.

• Both SA & DA with excellent pull, very smooth and light. 

• Field strips just like the real Sig Sauer X-Five P226.

• Mine came in with much higher FPS then claimed.

• Carries Sig Sauer licensed trademarks.

• For only $10 more you get the sight rail, compensator and rear adjustable sight.

Cons:

• 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.

Type: BB Air Pistol.

Manufacturer:Crosman.

Model:PRO77.

Materials: Metal & plasctic.

Weight: 1.3 pounds.

Barrel: 4.1 inches, metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x1 (12 gram).

Action: Semi auto single action only.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 17 rounds.

FPS: 325.

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?

Available in the:Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Inexpensive blowback gun.

• Good usage of metal parts. (Metal slide, trigger, hammer, slide release and safety)

• True single action trigger with working hammer.

• Nice combination of FPS and accuracy.

• Reasonable accuracy even when shooting fast.

• Has an accessory rail for a laser or Tac light.

• CO2 and CO2 tab are nicely hidden.

Cons:

• 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...
