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

• EKOL MAJOR 9MM P.A.K. 007 PPK BLANK GUN REVIEW

Type: Blank Pocket Revolver.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Arda.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: .55 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 8mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 5 rounds.

FPS: N/A.

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

Accuracy: N/A.

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

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

Purchased From: the Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

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

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

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

• Extremely compact blank shooter.

• Nice gloss black finish.

Cons:

• 8mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive.

• Only holds 5 rounds

• Single action only with pre-cocking required.

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

Comments:

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

• EKOL ARAS 9MM P.A.K. BLANK GUN REVIEW

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

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

We still have lots other great EKOL Blank Guns in our Replica Airguns Store so make sure to check them all out! And there is always hope for the future...

• UMAREX COLT SPECIAL COMBAT CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

• ASG CZ 75 P-07 DUTY BLOWBACK CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

Type: BB air Revolvers.

Manufacturer: ASG.

Model:Dan Wesson 6 and 8 inch.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 2.25 - 2.3 pounds.

Barrel: Metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Revolver, single and double action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 6 rounds.

FPS: 426.

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

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

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

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

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

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

• Almost all metal design.

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

• Good power and good accuracy.

• Fully adjustable sights.

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

Cons:

• Very hard to get this gun in North America.

• Plastic CO2 screw tab.

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

Comments:

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

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 8mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 6 round magazine.

FPS: N/A.

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

Accuracy: N/A.

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

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

Purchased From: the Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

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

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

• Inexpensive blank gun to purchase. 

• Nice extremely compact blank shooter.

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

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

Cons:

• 8mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive.

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

Comments:

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

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

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

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

• EKOL MAJOR 9MM P.A.K. 007 PPK BLANK GUN REVIEW

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: ASI UZI.

Materials: Plastic (Polymer) shell, metal internals.

Weight: 3.5 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi/Full auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 15 & 25 round magazines.

FPS: N/A.

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

Accuracy: N/A.

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

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

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

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

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

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

• Has a built in foregrip.

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

Cons:

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

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

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

Comments:

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

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Special 99.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 1.7 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi auto single & double action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 round single stack magazine.

FPS: N/A.

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

Accuracy: N/A.

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

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

Purchased From: the Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

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

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

• The two tone satin finish really suits this pistol.

• Good replica of the Beretta Cheetah Model 85.

• Great single action trigger feel.

Cons:

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

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

Comments:

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

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

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

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

EKOL ASI - $269US(Order-now)

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

EKOL FIRAT - $139US (Order-now)

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

EKOL SPECIAL 99 - $119US (Order-now)

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

EKOL ES 55 - $159CAN (Order-now)

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

EKOL MAJOR - $109US (Order-now)

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

EKOL TUNA - $79US (Order-now)

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

EKOL ARDA - $89US (Order-now)

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

• UMAREX H&K USP CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

• UMAREX S&W M&P CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:Colt Defender.

Materials: Mostly metal construction with a few plastic parts.

Weight: 1.6 pounds.

Barrel: 4.3 inches, metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 18 round magazine.

FPS: 440.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this gun is medium and a bit long, the break point is a bit hard to predict but once you get used to it being on the long side it shoots pretty good.

Accuracy: This was my second time shooting the Colt Defender at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and again it performed about the same as the first time, with a decent 2 inch grouping. I think with practice, I could get this easily down to a 1.5 inch group.

Build Quality: As the Colt Defender is almost all metal, you can't really complain to much about the durability aspects of this gun. Where I was let down a bit was the lack of functionality. In other words - parts that normally served a purpose like the hammer, slide release, sight adjustments and rear safety - all where just molded into the metal gun and where only for show.

Realism: The Umarex Colt Defender is a licensed replica of the real 45 auto Colt Defender pistol. It is a close looking copy with the exception of the trigger mechanism.

Purchased this gun at : The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Almost all metal construction!

• Good accuracy and power combination.

• Very solid and durable air gun.

• Decent replica of the actual Colt Defender 45 auto.

Cons:

• Most of the mechanical parts are molded into the gun.

• I don't like the screw holes on the right hand side of the gun - a dead giveaway.

• I would have liked a drop out magazine.

• Ejection port metal material is only a plastic sticker.

Comments:

This is another low cost replica air gun from Umarex designed for the more entry level buyer. It's a very solid and well made gun being that it's mostly metal. There are many positive aspects about teh Colt Defender, it's fairly consistent and accurate, has all the Colt licensing and trademark, has a good 440fps, uses an all metal design, and comes in at a very affordable price.

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Umarex.

Model:H&K USP.

Materials: Mostly Plastic exterior with metal magazine and internal parts.

Weight: 1.8 pounds.

Barrel: 4 inches, metal non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double action.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 22 round magazine.

FPS: 400.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this gun is medium, it has a predictable break point and is easy to shoot.

Accuracy: This was my second time shooting the H&K USP at a target from 20 feet out free standing and again it performed about the same with a decent 2 inch grouping.

Build Quality: You would think as this air pistol is mostly all plastic on the outside, that it would seem cheap and not so well made, but in fact the opposite is true! The plastic is of very good quality and form looking at it you would think the slide was actually made out of metal. Many of the internal parts and the full size drop free magazine are made out of metal giving the H&K USP a very solid and hefty feel.

Realism: The Umarex H&K USP is a licensed replica of the real H&K USP automatic pistol. It is an extremely close looking and accurate copy.

Purchased this gun from: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Good price for such a realistic looking replica - excellent prop gun!

• Good accuracy and power combination.

• Nice full size 22 round drop out metal magazine..

• Even though it has a lot of plastic, they used high quality materials.

Cons:

• No blowback.

• Would have been nice to have at least a metal slide.

• Slide catch is moulded into the frame and the slide does not function in any way.

Comments:

This is another low cost replica air gun from Umarex designed for the more entry level buyer. It's actually a very well made gun despite all the plastic parts and it even has all the H&K USP licensing and trademarks. There is a lot of good with the Umarex H&K USP, it's fairly consistent and accurate, has good fps, uses "good quality" plastic, and  comes in at a very affordable price.

• EKOL - VOLGA - DICLE - JACKAL DUAL - 9MM P.A.K. BLANK GUN SHOOTING REVIEW

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

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Dicle.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 2.5 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi auto single & double action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 15 round magazine.

FPS: N/A.

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

Accuracy: N/A.

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

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

Purchase From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

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

• The two tone finish really suits this pistol.

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

• Looks very much like the Beretta Cougar.

Cons:

• Plastic grips are a bit cheap looking.

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

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

Comments:

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

• UMAREX COLT DEFENDER CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW
• UMAREX S&W M&P CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

Type: BB air pistol.
Manufacturer: Umarex.
Model: Makarov.
Materials: Mostly metal with a few plastic parts.
Weight: 1.5 pounds.
Barrel: 2.8 inches, metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto, double/single action.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 18 round magazine.
FPS: 380.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on this gun is light to medium, in single action mode when the hammer is pre-cocked, the trigger is nice and light and easy to predict. When shooting double action the trigger first cocks the hammer and then near the end there is a break point where the hammer releases.
Accuracy: This was my second time shooting this gun at a target from 20 feet out free standing and again the Makarov performed well. The ability to shoot in single action, definitely helps with the accuracy.
Build Quality: Being an all metal gun (mostly all metal), makes the gun feel solid and sturdy. The only plastic parts I could find on the Umarex Makarov where the grips and the safety lever. The painted finish is nice but maybe a bit on the glossy side.
Realism: The Umarex Makarov is a licensed replica of the Makarov PM 9x18 Russian military and police pistol. It is a very close copy in both looks and feel. 
Purchased this gun from: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Great price for an all metal licensed Makarov replica.
• Good accuracy and power combination.
• Sports both single and double action.
• All metal 18 round drop free magazine.

Cons:

• No blowback.
• The slide catch/release does not work, as it's moulded into the frame.
• Paint may be a bit glossy for some people.

Comments:
This is another low cost replica air gun from Umarex designed for the more entry level buyer. It's actually a very well made all metal gun complete with the Makarov licensing and trademarks. There is a lot to like about the Umarex Makarov, it's accurate, has decent fps, uses good materials, has a working slide and all at a very affordable price.

• EKOL - VOLGA - DICLE - JACKAL DUAL - 9MM P.A.K. BLANK GUN SHOOTING REVIEW

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

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Jackal Dual.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 2.5 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi/Full auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 15 round magazine.

FPS: N/A.

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

Accuracy: N/A.

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

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

Purchase From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

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

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

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

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

Cons:

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

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

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

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

Comments:

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

Comments:

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

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

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

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

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

EKOL ARDA 5 Shot 8mm P.A.K. (Black & Chrome)

EKOL TUNA 5 6 Shot 8mm P.A.K. (Black & Chrome)

EKOL MAJOR 7 Shot 9mm P.A.K. (Black & Chrome)

EKOL SPECIAL 99 8 Shot 9mm P.A.K. (Black & Chrome)

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

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

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

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

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Jackal Dual - Dicle - Volga

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 2.5 - 2.5 - 1 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

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

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 15 - 15 - 6 round magazines.

FPS: N/A.

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

Accuracy: N/A.

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

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

Purchase From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

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

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

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

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

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

Comments:

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

One of my viewers mentioned that the EKOL Volga looks a lot like the Tanfoglio GT27.

Here is a picture....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

S&W M&P - 480

Trigger Pull: On all these guns the trigger pull is about medium with a bit of a break near the end. Only the Makarov has Single Action capability which gives it a much nicer and lighter trigger pull when desired.

Accuracy:

Colt Defender - At 20 feet in standing unrested position I got about a 2 inch group from 10 rounds.

H&K USP - At 20 feet in standing unrested position I got about a 2 inch group from 10 rounds.

Build Quality:

Colt Defender - Mostly metal with plastic grips, the gun had good finishing and a hefty weight to it.

H&K USP - Mostly good quality plastic with a full metal, full size magazine that gave the gun a solid feel

S&W M&P - Almost entirely plastic, it felt more like a toy then a gun because of it's light weight and shinny finish.

Makarov - Mostly metal with plastic grips and safety. This gun has good weight, feel and finishings.

Realism:

Colt Defender - Even though this BB gun is mostly metal, there are not a lot of moving parts, most parts where moulded into the gun and un-operational with the exception of the trigger and magazine release button.

H&K USP - I found it easy to forget about all the plastic in this air gun because of the excellent detail, everything is exactly right where it's supposed to be!

S&W M&P - On paper this gun is the right size and shape and pretty much looks like the real S&W M&P. You just don't want to get too close or pick it up or the illusion is lost.

Makarov -  An overal good replica with a moving slide that's even filed strip-able. The paint is a bit shinny but it makes for a nice looking gun overall.

Purchased thes guns at: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Colt Defender - Mostly metal, high FPS.
• H&K USP - Very realistic, full metal full size drop out magazine.
• S&W M&P - Surprisingly good accuracy, high FPS, drop out metal magazine.
• Makarov - Mostly metal, moving slide, double and single action, drop out metal slide.

Cons:

• Colt Defender - Most moving part are non-functional, no drop out magazine.
• H&K USP - More metal and a moving slide would have been a nice touch.
• S&W M&P - Lots of cheap plastic, no real weigh to it, parts mostly moulded into the air pistol.
• Makarov - No blowback, no slide catch, paint is a bit shinny.

Comments:

I had very low expectations for most of these guns based on their low price point. But in the end, I was impressed with at least a couple things about them each of them! I can honestly recommend all of them but just make sure you buy them for the right reasons... If you want a high FPS and accurate target BB pistol then take a look at the Umarex S&W M&P. If you want an all metal gun with lots of moving parts then the Umarex Makarov is probably for you. If you're looking for a very close replica that's got a full size drop out magazine then you probably want the Umarex H&K M&P. If you want something that is super solid and almost indestructible then get then the Umarex Colt Defender juts might fit that bill.

My low cost Replica BB guns arrived today! The Colt Defender, H&K USP and S&W M&P came in standard clear plastic packaging while the Makarov was the only air gun packaged in a box which is always a nice touch!

Now I haven't shot any of these guns yet, but I did get the chance to open all the packaging and give them a quick once over. My opinions of some of these guns may change after shooting them, depending on how they do, but as it stands I will give my first impressions of the guns. I'm not going to get into all the details as I will be doing individual reviews on each BB gun down the road. So here's a few pros and cons for each replica BB gun based on their first impressions:

Umarex Colt Defender 4.5mm CO2 BB Pistol:

The Umarex Colt Defender is basically a nice looking and fairly heavy all metal BB replica that feels good in the hand and has the Colt markings. It has a medium trigger pull with fairly good finishing.

The down side, it has no removable magazine, and most of the guns external mechanical parts like the hammer, slide release and safety, are molded into the metal and are non-operational.

Umarex Makarov 4.5mm CO2 BB Pistol:

Next we have the Umarex Makarov, this one is probably my immediate favorite out of the bunch for reasons like: It came in a box and has a movable and removable slide. For the most part it is all metal including the drop out magazine. The trigger pull again is about medium and even the safety is in the right place and is actually functional.

Some of my dislikes for this gun are the non-functioning slide release, so even though in this picture it looks like the slide is locked back, it's actually not (I'll show you how I did this in the future video!!). There is also no blowback action with this gun but to be fair, non of the other guns in this comparison have blowback either!

Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P CO2 BB Pistol:

I'm sorry to say the Umarex S&W M&P so far is my least favorite of the bunch, but first let's be positive... It's the right size and shape, has all its bits and pieces and markings in the right places so it would make an excellent low cost prop gun for sure! It is also the only gun with fiber optic sights and it does have a drop out metal magazine.

Now for the bad. When you pick this gun up it just feels cheap and plasticy, more like a toy then a gun! the trigger is OK but it's just so hard to get over the weight and feel of this BB gun. I hope it is a dream to shoot, that might be it's saving grace for me.

Umarex H&K USP CO2 BB Pistol:

OK, so let's leave of on a good note. The Umarex H&K USP was a close second to the Makarov in terms of first impressions with these low cost replica air guns. Even though a lot of the gun is plastic, it has a good weight and feel to it, this is partially due to the full size drop out metal magazine. The Umarex H&K USP also has everything in all the right places including the H&K markings and it too takes advantage of using the safety lever as originally intended, not just molded into the frame for show. Non of the guns had overly heavy trigger pulls and the H&K USP was no exception.

On the down side, it would have been nice to have a metal working slide to finish it off, and even though the hammer moves when the trigger is pulled, it's really only for show as it does not stay back and allow for both single and double action operation. Instead you can only shoot in this gun in double action.

So that about wraps up this initial overview of my first impressions of the Umarex Colt Defender, H&K USP, S&W M&P, and Makarov Replica BB guns. Next I will be shooting a YouTube table top comparison review of these low cost replica BB guns, so make sure to check back!
