The Webley Alecto (AKA: Zoraki HP-01) may not fit in exactly as a "Replica" Airgun, although it does resemble a bloated Dessert Eagle! But it is an Airgun worthy of spending some time reviewing an this is now my third Vimeo Video review for the Webley Alecto. My first Video Review was a Table Top Review where I covered most of the Webley's basic operation. My second Vimeo Video was a Chronograph Test to see what my Webley Alecto could do performance wise for FPS.

I really wanted to do a video of this gun just shooting because that's what it does best, put lead down range very accurately! So I setup three cameras to capture it all from just about every angle I could think of and I set up 30 feet away from my target and shot 5 rounds in a rested position using a Red Dot Scope. The results where not surprising - pretty close to a 1/2 inch grouping!
If you're looking for a compact, hard hitting, accurate target or small pest control Air gun then look no further, the Webley Alecto has the goods!
Watch the full Multi-angle Vimeo Video of my Webley Alecto Shooting Test:
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.
I am really focused on adding more products all the time to the Replica Airguns Store and one product that was completely missing was rifle scopes.
I just listed 4 new scopes from NcSTAR:

I already have a customized full auto Drozd Blackbird who can pass up another Dorzd when the price is right! I will be making a double Drozd video down the road :)
My new Classic Drozd came with the Full Auto mod chip, the JimC hand made barrel, a 68ci Nitro Duck 4500 PSI carbon fiber tank and bulk air hose.
I also got the Red Dot scope with my new purchase but used one of my rial risers that fit perfectly giving my new Drozd an AR look to it.
I purchased a bunch of "near new" air guns from a friend of mine last week who was't using them anymore and thought I could put them to better use. I was happy to oblige!
I already have the Crosman Quest 800 Break Barrel .22 caliber rifle for my pest control but you can always use one with more power! The break barrel Benjamin Sheridan Super Streak in .22 caliber is rated at up to 1000 fps and it is a real beast of an air gun to say the least. It came with a nice 4-16-40mm scope and I added an NCStar bi-pod to it to help distribute some of the weight.
I sighted it in at about 50 feet and was able to get about a nice 1 inch grouping with it from a rested position. I am looking forward to using this gun when my fruit trees start producing.
It took a little longer then expected but we finally have out Airgun 92 Shoot2 System CO2 Airguns in stock!
If you didn't already have one on pre-order and want to pick one up then order yours today!

Not only do I have some more photos of the Umarex Walther PPQ CO2 Pellet and BB Pistol, but I have one coming direct form Umarex USA so I should have it by mid week and a YouTube video and photos by the end of the week for you...
I found some more photos of the Umarex S&W M&P R8 CO2 BB Revolver although they look just a bit too good so I am thinking they are computer generated. At least it gives us more of an idea on what it looks like!
Sorry, I only have the one photo I could find of the Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P 45. This CO2 pistol shoots both BB's and Pellets and looks like it uses some of the design elements from other rotary magazine Umarex guns like the CPSport and CP88. Again I am not sure if the slide is metal or plastic because of the lower weight factor?

The Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P R8 is coming to North America, I know that for sure! From what I can tell by looking at the photos and the weight of the gun, it looks like it's got a lot of plastic components? it does have pretty good fps but states double action and not single action? Guess we'll have to see when it gets here?

I don't have too much in the way of specification for the Umarex S&W 327 TRR8 but I can say it pretty much looks like an ASG Dan Wesson that has been re-skinned! Something I found a bit funny with this gun si that it is supposed to be a TRR8 replica, and the real S&W 327 TRR8 is an 8 shooter and the Umarex copy is a 6 shooter! Maybe they though nobody would notice?

I'm not sure which of these we will get in North America but there are some nice new Umarex products coming out in the next few months.

I'll will post some pictures and more info on some of these guns shortly...
Here are a couple videos featuring some of these new products from Umarex:

We get requests for accessories all the time and one of the more popular requests is for Red Dot Scopes! I will be expanding the Replica Airguns Store more frequently now and posting new arrivals as we add them to the Replica Airguns Store.
So to kick things off we have the BSA Multi-Purpose RD30 Red Dot Scope:
The BSA Multi-Purpose Sighting Systems are a wonderful light weight sight for close quarter and medium range targets. Light enough for small calibers plicking on the range, yet durable enough for larger calibers used by hunters and law enforcement departments. A great addition to your pistol or rifle!

One of my website viewers "Ian" tipped me of that Umarex has a new downloadable catalog available here. It has some more details on the Walther PPQ, S&W M&P 45 and S&W M&P R8 Pellet and BB CO2 pistols.
Walther PPQ BB/Pellet CO2 Pistol
Smith & Wesson M&P 45 BB/Pellet CO2 Pistol
Smith & Wesson R8 BB CO2 Revolver
UmarexAir released a SHOT Show YouTube video of their new replica BB and Pellet CO2 Airgun pistol styled after the Smith & Wesson M&P 45. Like Umarex's brand new Walther PPQ CO2 Pistol, the M&P 45 also utilizes a two magazine system with an 8 round capacity, one in black plastic for the BB's and one in silver metal for pellets. This air pistol looks to share many similarities with the CP99 and CPSport in design.

UmarexAir just released a YouTube video showcasing their latest replica Walther PPQ BB and Pellet CO2 Pistol introduced at the SHOT Show. It come with two 8 shot rotary magazines, one in black that is used for BB's and one in sliver for the pellets. I am assuming the black one is made out of plastic and the silver magazine is made out of metal. It also looks like the PPQ has an all metal top slide and uses a similar deign to the Umarex Walther CP99 and CPSport CO2 pellet pistols.
