• ZORAKI 914 AND KIMAR LADY K BLANK GUN REVIEW
• BLANK GUN CANADIAN LAWS

I know my website mainly covers Replica Airguns, but I also have a few non-replic airguns listed on the site and may plan to include others down the road. So the new rule is that if it's an Air Gun or if it is a Replica of a gun then I just might put some information about it here on the site. But for the most part I'm going to stick with "Replica Airguns".

One gun I have not mentioned is a 8mm Blank Replica gun that I own. I don't want to get into details about Canadian law, but in a nutshell we can own them but we can not buy or sell them if they fall into the classification of being a "Replica" and not being able to "cause bodily harm".

The reason we can get Replica Airguns in Canada is because Airguns have projectiles that can cause bodily harm, classifying them as a firearm but because most air guns do not shoot faster than 500 FPS, they fall into a grey area where you do not need a firearms license to purchase or own them. In theory they are classified as a firearm because they can cause bodily harm and shoot stuff out of the barrel. I know it's nuts!

Back to my point! I am going to do a side by side review of one of my Blank Replica guns whcih is a Lady K 8MM Starter Pistol or some would refer to as a Blank gun.

And the other gun which I don't have yet but should show up shortly is a Zoraki 914 Semi/Full Auto Blank Pistol in 9mm PAK. I'm not sure why this gun is available in Canada for purchase, but it may be because it can also be used as a flare gun or perhaps that it's not designed after an actual gun like in the case of the Lady K looking very much like a Walther PPK. I hope to know more about this later.

The timing is good for these reviews as Halloween is coming up soon and I can get away with making a bunch of noise. Even though I live in a farm area, these guns are as loud as a real gun and shooting a full auto blank gun might be alarming for my neighbors any other time of the year :)

Check back soon for more on these guns...

• BERETTA CX4 RIFLE & PX4 STORM TACTICAL PISTOL ADDED TO COLLECTION

• UMAREX BERETTA PX4 STORM RECON CO2 BLOWBACK PELLET-BB GUN REVIEW

Type: Pellet air pistol.

Manufacturer: Umarex.

Model:PX4 Storm.

Materials: Metal slide, composite frame.

Weight: 1.6 pounds.

Barrel: 4.5 inches, metal-rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, blowback, double and single action.

Ammunition Type: .177 cal. Pellets or Steel BBs 4.5mm.

Ammunition Capacity: 16 rounds.

FPS: 380.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull is long and light when in single action mode, there is a slight heavy spot at the begging when the rotary magazine is turned to advance to the next pellet and then another break point near the end to actuate the hammer.

Accuracy: Good, not amazing but pretty good.

Build Quality: Excellent, with a very nice slide finish that is more of a dyed metal rather than painted like most airguns. The non-metal components seem to be very durable and the fit and finish to this gun is outstanding.

Realism: This is a very close replica to the real Beretta PX4 Storm with licensed trademarks and most everything in all the right places. The only real acceptation is the safety lever which has been repurposed from the Umarex CP99 Compact BB Blowback Airgun.

Purchased this gun in: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Good reproduction of the original Beretta PX4 Storm.

• Would make an excellent training gun as it has a similar size, weight, and feel to the actual Beretta PX4 Storm handgun.

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

• Good FPS and CO2 efficiency for a blowback Pellet air gun.

• Nice easy to use sights with white spot markings for quick targeting.

• Picatinny rail for accessories like a laser sight and/or tactical light.

Cons:

• Non functioning slide release on frame and safety lever on slide.

• Slide does not stay back after 8th shot so you need to count them off or you end up wasting a few shots before you realize no pellets are coming out.

• No way to keep the slide back, no working slide release.

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

Comments:

The Umarex Beretta PX4 Storm is a very unique pellet blowback air pistol and there are very few airguns that sport all the same features. Not only is it a very close replica of the original Beretta PX4 Storm but it's also a blowback pellet shooter with decent FPS velocity. The Umarex PX4 Storm has decent accuracy and you can expect about 60 good shots out of a CO2 cartridge. At well under $100, this replica airgun is a great value and a nice addition to any airgun enthusiasts collection.
