Tacamo T68 AK47 Paintball Rifle Review

1 Comment

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.

Added the Umarex SA177 Blowback BB Pistol to the Store

6 Comments

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

Baikal Drozd Classic IZH MP-661K BB Machine Gun Review

4 Comments

Type: BB Machine gun.

Manufacturer:Baikal.

Model:IZH MP-661K.

Materials: Metal & Polymer.

Weight: 3.5 pounds.

Barrel: 8 inches, metal-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 or (Bulk air with adaptor).

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!

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Very well made BB machine gun.

  • Excellent power.

  • Good accuracy in all shooting modes.

  • Uses the 12 gram CO2 - a bit cheaper! (Can also convert to bulk air)

  • Stock version can shoot up to 600 rounds per minute.

  • Multiple stock lengths.

  • Rifled barrel.

  • Adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation.

  • Removable magazine hold BB's and CO2.

  • Many mods for this gun.

  • Great for pest control, especially the ones that don't stay still.

  • Made in Russia.

Cons:

  • 12 Gram CO2 - you need to change it often!

  • Top Accessory rail is a bit short and low.

  • 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!

Cybergun Sig Sauer X-Five P226 Open CO2 BB Pistol Review

41 Comments

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.

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

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.

Umarex EBOS CO2 BB Machine Gun Review

8 Comments

Type: CO2 BB Machine gun.

Manufacturer:UmarexUSA.

Model:EBOS. (Electronic Burst Of Steel)

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!

Supplied by UmarexUSA - Can be purchased in the Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • Inexpensive full featured BB machine gun at just over $100.

  • Very good accuracy in all shooting modes.

  • Excellent power - right around the 500 fps mark even on a well used CO2.

  • Uses the 88 gram CO2 - you're going to need it!

  • Has two rails for accessories and comes with the fore-grip.

  • I liked the high 8 round full auto burst option.

  • Nice stock design and easy CO2 access.

  • 10 out of 10 on the fun factor.

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

Cons:

  • 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.

Crosman PRO77 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Review

5 Comments

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.

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

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...

This is the first so hopefully everyone likes the idea! This one mentions the crazy blank shooting EKOL ASI Machine Gun deal going on right now and also the pellet shooting Valtro Airgun 92 with Shoot2 System temporary price cut.

Umarex EBOS CO2 BB Machine Gun - Gone Tactical

No Comments

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 decided to go with an EOTech Styled Red-Green Dot Tactical Scope and I have to tell you this guns looks awesome with it installed!

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 :)

Umarex EBOS CO2 BB Machine Gun Arrives

No Comments

Look what arrived in the mail today :)

This one was provided to me by UmarexUSA for Review along with my Umarex Walther SG9000 BB Shotgun that I just reviewed and also the very nice Umarex S&W M&P 45 Pellet and BB  Pistol that I have yet to review.

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!

Crosman C41 and PRO77 CO2 BB Air Pistol Preview

1 Comment

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.

The two guns given to me by Crosman for review are the Crosman C41 Walther P38 BB Gun Replica and the Crosman PRO77 Blowback CO2 BB Pistol. I also quickly show you another Crosman pistol - the Crosman 1377 American Classic that I recently purchased from myself  "The Replica Airguns Store".

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.

Crosman PRO77 Arrives for Review

2 Comments

The other airgun so graciously provided to me by Crosman Corporation was the Crosman PRO77 Blowback 4.5mm CO2 BB pistol. The PRO77 is a true blowback operated semi auto pistol, the slide cocks the exposed hammer with each shot taken and it has a very short trigger pull that does not need to be fully reset with each shot so it should be a really quick shooter!

The PRO77 reminds me an awful lot of my Walther CP99 Compact which sets the bar high, both have metal slide and polymer frames, both are about the same size with very similar specifications. I am looking forward to giving this a try and doing a full review on it. Like the Crosman C41 I just received from Crosman Corporation, you can also pick one up today in our Replica Airguns Store.

Specifications of the Crosman PRO77:

  • 4.5mm Steel BB's
  • 17 round magazine
  • 12 gram CO2
  • Single action only trigger
  • 4.1 inch steel barrel
  • 350 fps
  • 1.3 pounds
  • Fixed sights
  • Blowback operation
  • Metal slide and polymer frame

100th Video Contest Giveaway!

8 Comments

100 YouTube Videos! Can you believe it? About a year ago I started actively making videos for my YouTube Channel and here we are today with my 100th YouTube video.

And not only does this video mark my 100th video uploaded, but I also reached several other milestones pretty much at about the same time:

  • 2,000,000 Video Views
  • 50,000 Channel Views
  • 2500 Subscribers.

Before I get into the contest giveaway I just wanted to recap where this all began and where I am now...

About four years ago I uploaded my "Worlds Smallest Full Auto BB Gun" YouTube video just for fun and when I checked back a few months later it had what I thought was crazy amount of views (Something like 20,000 or so). Now it's getting close to 400,000 hits! skip ahead a few more years to just over a year ago and I got to thinking, why not upload a few more airgun videos since people seem to like them and I like making and talking about airguns.

After several videos I figured I might as well start a "website - blog" and place my YouTube videos on it along with some written reviews and articles, that's when ReplicaAirguns.com was born. Skip ahead to around February of this year and kind of by accident I started selling a few hard to get air guns and blank guns to kind of test the waters and I found that there was a definite market for them here in North America and that my viewers where also shoppers :)

Jump ahead to present day and and as you can see in my Replica Airguns Store, I have a nice selection of mostly replica Air and Blank Guns along with some accessories for my shopping viewers to choose from. And all of this is keeping me so busy that this is all I do now, make videos, work on my website and web-store and of course I spend a great deal of time answering questions from my YouTube viewers and Website visitors and customers.

OK, so let's get back to the contest! I am giving away a Cybergun Tanfoglio Witness 1911 CO2 4.5mm BB pistol to one of my lucky Subscribers, so how does one go about entering this contest - Giveaway for a chance to win?

  • You have to be a Subscriber of my YouTube Channel.
  • You need to Favorite my 100th Video Contest - Giveaway video and send me a comment in my 100th Video stating as much.
  • You need to tell a minimum of 3 of your friends about my YouTube Channel or the ReplicaAirguns.com website.
  • You need to be an adult or have your parent or guardian accept the giveaway gift on your behalf.
  • If you are not located in North America, you will be given a PayPal payment in the amount of the North America value of the Tanfoglio Witness 1911.

And that's it! Here's to the next 100 YouTube videos...

Umarex Walther CP99 Compact Recon BB Pistol Review

6 Comments

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: Umarex.

Model: CP99 Compact Recon Version.

Materials: Metal slide, polymer frame.

Weight: 1.8 pounds.

Barrel: 5 inches, non-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, blowback, single action only.

Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 18 rounds.

FPS: Up to 400.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex CP99 Compact Recon is amazing, it is short and light making it one of the best action shooters I own. You can fire this gun accurately and fast all day long.

Accuracy: Great! The addition of the Green Dot Scope and slightly longer barrel on the CP99 Compact Recon version work amazingly well, this is one of the most consistent BB shooter I own getting under 2 inch groups at will from 20 feet out.

Build Quality: Excellent, this BB gun is made in Japan and uses metal where it is really needed like in the slide, slide release, safety, trigger, magazine release, magazine and most of the mechanical parts. It's well made, well finished and feels great in the hand.

Realism: This Replica BB gun has many of the same characteristics of the actual 9mm P99 Compact with the exception of having a longer handle and much different safety mechanism. Umarex has even changed the design a bit with the newer CP99 Compacts and made the ejection port cut out adding to the realism of this BB shooter.

Available at: the Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Decent reproduction of the original Walther P99 Compact 9mm.

  • Would make an excellent training gun as it has a similar size, weight, and feel to the actual Walther P99 Compact 9mm handgun.

  • Blowback action is very firm adding to the realism of shooting this weapon.

  • Really good FPS, accuracy and CO2 efficiency for a blowback BB air gun.

  • The Recon version has a longer barrel adding a few more FPS to this already great air pistol.

  • Amazing light and fast trigger pull making it a blast to shoot.

  • Addition of the Sight Rail, Compensator and Green Dot scope really add to the esthetics and performance of this BB pistol.

Cons:

  • The Sight Rail, Compensator and most of the Green Dot scope are plastic but this does not seem to effect the performance in any way.

  • Safety lever seems out of place and takes away from the realism of this replica.

  • Switch on the Green Dot Scope is silver making it stand out from the rest of the all black air gun.

Comments:

I already loved the CP99 Compact non-Recon version so I had very high expectations for this BB gun to be at least as good if not better and I was not disappointed! I was actual surprised at the improvements that the longer barrel and Green Dot Scope made not only in a much higher Feet Per Second rating (about 75 fps), but also the much improved accuracy in what was already a decent shooter. For the additional $40, you get the Sight Rail which allows you to add multiple accessories if required. You get the Green Dot Scope that noticeably improved the accuracy, and you also get the compensator which hides the extra long barrel for more FPS.
