Bill C-21 Canada is Going After Your Red Ryder BB Gun

8 Comments

No To Bill C-21.jpg

The long and short of it, Bill C-21 is an attack on law abiding Canadian gun owners and goes so far as to include the Daisy Red Ryder BB gun and many other Airguns as a Prohibited Firearm in Canada.

I am not a Lawyer or Bureaucrat so this video is my personal take on how I perceive the new Gun laws and Bill C-21. Please do your own investigation on these new laws and come to your own conclusions.

I don’t ask this often, please like and share this video with as many people as you can in Canada and outside of Canada. This is a new level of attack on Canadian Gun rights and we need to stand up for our gun rights or there will be no more guns in Canada eventually. This could happened in your country and has already happened in many others.

So how did we get here… Back in May of 2020 Trudeau (without going through Parliament) banned some 1500 (what he referred to as) Assault rifles. For the most part but not exclusive to, anything that looks scary with a semi auto action. Many rifles with semi auto actions that did not look scary where not on this banned list. Some bolt action rifles and even shotguns made it to this banned list of guns deemed by Trudeau as dangerous Assault Rifles.

Bill C-21 is now going after handguns in a similar capacity along with any Airgun that looks like a Firearm. 

In this video I am going to focus mainly on the Airgun side of how Bill C-21 effects Canadians so we are talking about BB Guns, Pellet Guns, Airsoft Guns, even Paintball Guns. But do understand if you own a handgun or even a rifle, Bill C-21 is coming after many of those guns as well making them literally impossible to own and use in any capacity other than keeping them in a safe at all times until you die in which it has to be relinquished without payment to the government.

How does Bill C-21 effect Airguns? Previously most Airguns where classified as Firearms but where unregulated so they didn’t require registration or even a Firearms license to sell, buy, own or use. Bill C-21 wants to make any Airgun that looks like a firearm (other than an antique firearm) prohibited. This means you will not be able to import, sell, or buy them in Canada. You will be able to keep your existing Prohibited Airguns but with extensive limitations on how you can keep and use them. Basically no use at all.

No Guns Canada.jpg

For the most part you will want to keep your now prohibited Airguns in a gun safe at home at all times or you risk having them confiscated from you since if you are transporting or using an Airgun, the police have the right to ask you to produce a Prohibited Firearms license which if I am not mistaken has not been made available since 1991, so the vast majority of gun owners especially none license holding Airgun owners do not have a Prohibited Firearms license nor is there any way to obtain such a license. How convenient!

Who does Bill C-21 effect? Firearms in Canada is a Multi Billion dollar industry and Airguns are an ever growing part of that industry. Bill C-21 effects Importers, Wholesalers, Retailers, Gun Ranges, Airsoft Fields, Gun Organizations, Gun Groups and of course every Firearm and Airgun owner in Canada. Bill C-21 wants to eliminate many aspects of the firearms Industry in Canada putting large and small business out of business. Replica Airguns will be gone if Bill C-21 passes in Canada, a business I founded and have been part of for over 15 years affecting many employees, families and of course customers.

How will Bill C-21 by eliminating the vast majority of Airguns in Canada keep Canadians safer and save lives as it proposes? I’m tryin to wrap my head around this one… So please tell me how many Pellet Rifles where used in mass shootings? How many drive by shootings involved Paintball guns? How many suicides have there been with BB pistols? How many police officers have died at the hands of an Airsoft wielding mad person? I’m going out on a limb here to say probably zero. And if any of these Airguns had been used in any of these situations that would have been a good thing because no lives would have been lost perhaps except for the user of the Airgun.

I want to end this video off with an example and an analogy of just exactly how ridiculous Bill C-21 is and how it will do absolutely zero to protect Canadians from criminals.

  • Daisy Red Ryder BB Rifle (1940) Will now be a Prohibited Firearm in Canada

  • Crosman 38T Pellet Revolver (1964) Will now be a Prohibited Firearm in Canada

  • Crosman 357 Pellet Revolver (1983) Will now be a Prohibited Firearm in Canada

  • Air-Ordnance SMG 22 Caliber Full Auto Machine Gun (Modern Airgun) Currently and even after Bill C-21 will be an Unregulated Firearm in Canada with no license or registration required.

Analogy of how Bill C-21 is supposed to Make Canadians Safer:

Bill C-21 is going after law abiding Licensed and Registered gun owners and only allowing them to keep their now Prohibited Guns but not allowed them to use their prohibited guns in any capacity. Prohibited guns must be in a safe at all times unloaded and locked. You are not allowed to transfer them anywhere, you are not allowed to sell, loan or give them to another person, and upon death the prohibited gun/s must be relinquish to the Government. According to Bill C-21 this is apparently going to help stop non license holding non gun registered criminals from committing gun related crimes that for the most part do not obtain their firearms legally.

This is like saying that ICBC (Canadas Vehicle Insurance Agency) has looked into motor vehicle accidents and found that a high majority of vehicle accidents are caused by people that do not have drivers licenses and that do not have registered or insured vehicles, furthermore ICBC has come to the conclusion that vehicles related to these accidents often times are import sedans that have been lowered and tuned. So in order to reduce car accidents ICBC will be focusing on drivers with drivers licenses and registered and license vehicles that fit this description and any other vehicle they deem a possible threat , these registered and licensed vehicle owners will still be allowed to own their vehicles that fit this criteria and have them registered but they will not be allowed to drive their vehicle/s anymore. Their vehicle/s must be kept in the garage at all times and never driven. You can not sell or loan your vehicle/s to anyone and these vehicle/s will not be allowed to be imported, bought or sold anymore in Canada. Once you die your vehicle/s are relinquished by the Government without payment no matter what their assessed value.

Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

Make sure to watch my Table Top Review for the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol if you haven’t already done so to get all the specifications and features along with some nice close up video. In this Field Test Shooting video I test out the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol to find out what the real world velocity is and also just how accurate it will be shooting a paper target from 30 feet back using a rested shooting position. Since the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol is a target pistol I was hoping for good accuracy since the Diana Chaser performed so well for me in my earlier Field Test Shooting video this week. The Diana Bandit does have a claimed 700 fps velocity but I believe this is for the non-Canada detuned version so it will be interesting to find out exactly what the power is.

First up I placed 5 shots through my Chronograph with a fully charged PCP tank using 6.9 grain RWS lead pellets and got just over 500 fps results averaging 517 fps, so yes the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol has been detuned to make it Canada non-regulated legal.

Next I performed my accuracy test shooting at a paper target 30 feet down range with the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol rested on a sand bag up front and sitting in the back. Since the magazine holds 9 rounds I placed 9 round on the target to see what kind of grouping I could get. At first I was not sure why my 9 shot grouping seemed to be much more spread out than My Dianna Chaser results but after watching the video I saw that only one shot really came out of the 1 inch grouping not including the random accident shot I took. Perhaps I had a misinformed pellet or perhaps I pulled that one shot. That shot aside both the Diana Bandit and Chaser performed about the same, even shooting just a hair to the left from the bullseye.

The trigger feels pretty decent, not super light or to heavy, there is a little bit of take-up and then a slight resistance then a quick release. The bolt action along with the 9 round rotary magazine worked flawlessly for me with no jamming at all. For the low price this PCP Target Pellet Pistol comes in at you really can’t go wrong and if you want to modify or upgrade it down the road there are tons of things you can do to the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol. I highly recommend the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol if you are looking for a super affordable PCP target pellet pistol.

Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

Make sure to watch my Table Top Review for the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol if you haven’t already to get all the specifications and features along with some nice close up video. In this Field Test Shooting video I test out the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol to find out what the real world velocity is and also just how accurate it will be shooting a paper target from 30 feet back using a rested shooting position. Since the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol is a target pistol I was hoping for good accuracy but based on the claimed 525 fps velocity I was also hoping for close to 500 fps results.

First up I placed 4 shots through my Chronograph using a brand new CO2 along with 6.9 grain RWS lead pellets and got pretty close to 500 fps results averaging 490 fps, not bad considering the temperature was not super warm and I was using led pellets not hyper velocity alloy pellets.

Next I performed my accuracy test shooting at a paper target 30 feet down range with the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol rested on a sand bag up front and sitting in the back. Since the magazine holds 9 rounds I placed 9 round on the target to see what kind of grouping I could get. I was impressed to see a nice 1 inch grouping, maybe even a little bit less removing the paper tearing. Shots where vertically right on the mark and just a tad to the left but easily fixable with a quick tweak of the full adjustable sights.

The trigger feels pretty decent, not super light or to heavy , there is a little bit of take up and then a slight resistance then a quick release. The bolt action along with the 9 round rotary magazine worked flawlessly for me with no jamming at all. For the low price this CO2 Target Pellet Pistol comes in at you really can’t go wrong and if you want to modify or upgrade it down the road there are tons of things you can do to the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol. I highly recommend the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol if you are looking for a super affordable target pellet pistol.

Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Pellet Pistol
Manufacturer: Diana.
Model: Bandit
Materials: Wood and Metal, some plastic.
Weight: 2.2 pounds (1000 grams).
Total Length: 20.1 inches (51 cm)
Barrel: 9.5 inches (24 cm), metal rifled.
Propulsion: PCP.
Action: Bolt.
Ammunition Type: .177 & .22 Caliber pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: Single shot to 9 & 7 round magazines..
FPS: 725 (.177) - 630 (.22). Need to test for Canada import version

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol is single action only meaning in order to cock the internal hammer/striker, you need to cycle the bolt back and forth allowing for a short and light trigger action. It does come with a rotary multi-round magazine that allows for the cycling of the bolt to automatically advance a pellet allowing for much quicker followup shots.

Accuracy: At this point I have not personally tested the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol in terms of actual power and accuracy but I expect the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol to perform well since in fact this is a target pistol with fairly high claimed fps. In the next few weeks I plan on making my Field Test Shooting Video so stay posted for the results from that video for confirmation of the performance.

Build Quality: The Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol is made in China which might make you wonder about the overall quality of this target pistol but after taking a good look around and working all the mechanical parts I ma very impressed with the overall quality and chosen material that went into the production of the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol. You will finds metal where you need it as in the barrel, bolt and trigger. The pistol grip are made of wood but you will find some portions of the sights are plastic but it would have been nice if they where all metal.

Realism: Realism isn’t really a concern with the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol since it is not a Replica Airguns but in terms of looking like a gun it serves that purpose, no mistaken that so no waving it around in public or things may not turn out so good for you…

Pros:

  • Inexpensive fairly high quality full featured target pistol for the price.

  • Expect good accuracy!

  • Metal construction where it needs to be (Bolt, barrel, trigger).

  • Rifled barrel.

  • Fully adjustable sights.

  • Adjustable and light single action trigger.

  • Dove tail on bolt for adding optical sight.

  • Nice wood pistol grip.

  • Good for small pest control because of fairly high fps and expected good accuracy for shot placement ability.

  • Overall the gun feels really high quality for the price.

  • Even comes with a nice soft shell case.

  • Available in both .22 and .177 caliber pellet versions.

Cons:

  • Grips may be a bit too wide for smaller handed shooters.

  • Allen key does not fight the trigger adjustment.

  • Made in China.

  • Will need a pump or way to pressurize.

Comments:

For the price I don’t think you will find anything out there in terms of a PCP target pellet pistols with as many features as the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol. At least in the lower cost price point Diana is offering it at. For that reason it is not going to be the absolute best all around PCP pellet firing target pistol you can get but I am sure bang for your buck you will be happy with this one. Everything about the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol feels good quality, I would expect to pay at least double the price for something similar for sure. I have a feeling keeping the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol in stock is going to be a challenge for us so if you see it in stock don’t take too long making up your mind or you may be in for a bit of a wait.

Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol Field Test Review

1 Comment

This Field Test Shooting Review for the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is a lot different from most of my other shooting video reviews mainly because the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is not a CO2 powered BB Pistol like pretty much every other 4.5mm Steel BB pistol I have ever tested. There are way more 6mm Airsoft spring pistols but when it comes to actual 4.5mm BB Pistols they are not very common. The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is Kind of like the pistol version of the Daisy Red Ryder BB Rifle…

I have already made a Table Top Review Video for the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol so make sure to check out that review for specifications and details on the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol.

So let’s get right into the nitty gritty on how the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol performed in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range. Starting off with the feet per second velocity for the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol Daisy claims around 240 fps. shooting about 8 shots through my chronographs with standard 5.1 grain 4.5,, steel BB’s I was able to get an average of just over 180 fps, the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol was super consistent shooting all shots between 181 and 189 fps.

I then proceeded to place 10 shots on my paper target setup 30 feet down range shooting from a rested portion with a sand bag up front supporting my hadbn’s and a stool to sit on in the back. The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol did shoot a bit low and to the left but all 10 shots grouped within 3 inches of each other, actually a bit better than I was expecting from a low cost BB Pistol like this. If I was shooting at a pop can and adjusted my aim point a bit I would have hit the can 10 out of 10 times which is about as good as you can ask for a plinker like this.

The best way I can describe the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is the pistol equivalent of the Daisy Re Ryder in that it shoots 4.5mm Steel BB’s has a high capacity BB reservoir that holds lots of BB’s and you are required to cock the spring for each shot rather than use CO2 for power. This makes for an over low cost Airgun but like the Daisy Red Ryder it is a lot fo fun to shoot at the end of the day. The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol has a surprisingly good trigger and at the end of the day shot really consistently for me.

Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle Field Test Review

1 Comment

The Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle is one that you are really going to want to take outside and set targets up around 50-60 feet await make it a little more challenging adn I do plan on getting outside with the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle in a bit once the weather gets a bit nicer and have some fun shooting at longer ranges. For now I wanted to at least get out my Indoor Field Test Shooting Video where I can Chronograph the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle and also see what it can do shooting at 30 feet out.

Sig claims the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle to shoot .22 caliber lead pellets at up to 700 fps with a power output of 12 foot pounds. Using 14.5 grain lead pellets I placed 6 rounds though my Chronograph and averaged 585 fps with the fastest shoot hitting 611 fps. Keep in mind there are much lighter lead pellets out there and when it comes to alloy pellets they drop in weight even more so hitting 700 fps with a light grain lead or alloy pellet is very realistic. What about Sigs claimed 12 foot pounds of energy? I did the math and using a 14.5 grain pellet with a maximum velocity of 611 fps, these numbers produce just a hair over 12 foot pounds! Mission accomplished :)

What about accuracy, I have seen a few claims online that the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle is not the most accurate Pellet rifle out there and you know what I don’t think that was the absolute intension when Sig thought this one up. After all it is a semi auto high capacity Airgun replica, not a target rifle. I still like to find things out for myself so of course I performed my accuracy test for the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle shooting 10 rounds into a fresh paper target from 30 feet back using a seated and rested shooting position. For this test I was using a red dot scope with a 3x magnifier on it. My first 10 rounds did OK producing just over a 1 inch grouping, not super great but most of the rods (8 of them) all struck the target within about 3/4 of an inch.

At this point decided to empty the rest of the magazine so about 15 rounds on the same target to see if the grouping stayed the same or maybe even speed out a bit. I was a bit surprised to find that my second 15 shot grouping all stayed within the higher 10 shot group again producing about a 3/4 inch grouping with just those two first test outliers? Maybe it was me, maybe it was the pellets, maybe it was the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle? The good news is you have 30 rounds to hit your target so even if a couple of them stray a bit you still got 28 left to get the job done.

The Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle is one of the coolest Air Rifles I have tested and now own, not only is it a great Replica Airgun but it also performs well and can be used for plinking or small pest control. All at even a fraction of the cost of shooting 22LR rounds and that’s not even that expensive compared to 9mm and larger ammo. Let’s hope Sig Sauer makes a detuned Canada version so we can offer it up in our Canada Replica Airguns Store and if you live in the US then checkout the US Store for Sig Sauer buying options.

Umarex Legends Cowboy Rifle Versus Daisy Red Ryder BB Rifle Shooting Comparison

No Comments

I have not officially done a Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle other than my quick outside shooting test where I simply shot a bunch of rounds at some pop cans just to see how the Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle would work for me and it did perform well during that test.

Jumping ahead to a little while later when I went to make my Official Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle. I found it was not performing well at all, shooting well under the 410 claimed fps closer to 200 fps which was a surprise since it seemed to do a lot better for me on my previous test. I even changed out the CO2 but still did not get any better results. I racked this up to maybe being a defective gun and so I went about getting my hands on another Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle.

Guess what? Same thing with rifle number two. Very poor fps, again almost half of the claimed rated velocity. So at this point I decided I was goring to make the Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle and let the results speak for themselves… I also thought it would be fun to compare it to the Classic 1938 Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun since I figured they would both get similar fps and accuracy and be rather comparable at the end of the day.

I do have to say that the Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle did make me eat my words and I am happy it did since I really like the Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle and wanted it to do well!

Usually I state all there results for My Field Test Shooting Videos here in the written article but I kind of feel it is best if you just watch this one from start to finishes since the video result s did turn out to really surprise me in the end.

Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol Field Test Review

1 Comment

Make sure to watch my Table Top Review Video if you want more info on the details and specifications for the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol! in this Field Test Shooting video I test out the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol inside the Replica Airguns indoor Sea Can Airgun Range to see how well it performs in terms of Velocity and Accuracy. The temperature was 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) so not too hot or too cold on this test day. I was also using a brand new CO2 along with 5.1 grain RWS zinc coated steel BB’s.

For the first test to find out what the actual velocity is for the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol, I placed 5 rounds through my Chronograph back to back and I was able to get an average of 456 fps with the fastest shoot hitting 460 fps and the slowest shot in the string hitting 451 fps. All within 9 fps of each other so very consistent.

Next I setup a fresh paper target 30 feet down range and proceeded to do my best to obtain a 10 shot grouping using a seated and rested shooting position. Most of the shots form the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol where all under 1.5 inches apart, just a little bit high and slightly to the left. I did get a flyer that went a little bit lower than the rest lengthening out the 10 shot grouping to about 2 inches in diameter. I am pretty sure I would be able to get a 1 inch grouping with the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol after some practice.

Overall the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol performed well for me shooting consistently without any issues. The Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol is fairly basic in design but does have the added much suppressor that allows for a longer inner barrel giving it a little more fps. You also have the removable sight rail fi you want to add some optical sights or perhaps a laser or tactical light or maybe all of them? Pickup the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol in a variety of colors over at the Replica Airguns Online Canada and US Stores!

Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit Field Test Review

No Comments

Make sure to watch my Table Top Review Video if you want more info on the details and specifications for the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit! in this Field Test Shooting video I test out the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit inside the Replica Airguns indoor Sea Can Airgun Range to see how well it performs in terms of Velocity and accuracy. The temperature was 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) so not too hot or too cold on this test day. I was also using a brand new CO2 along with 5.1 grain RWS zinc coated steel BB’s.

For the first test to find out what the actual velocity is for the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit I placed 5 rounds through my Chronograph back to back and I was able to get an average of 396 fps with the fastest shoot hitting 404 fps and the slowest shot in the string hitting 389 fps. Interestingly enough the fastest shot was the last shot in my 5 shot string so CO2 cooling did not effect the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit too much.

Next I setup a fresh paper target 30 feet down range and proceeded to do my best to obtain a 10 shot grouping using a seated and rested shooting position. I may have only loaded 9 rounds this time but I was still able to get a good idea on how well the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit performs in the accuracy department. Most of the shots where all under 2 inches and well center on the target with at least 3 or 4 rounds in the bullseye. I did get a flyer that went rather high but we will assume there may have been a bad BB in the bunch shine I did not feel I pulled that shot at all and since the other rods all placed well together well will go with the smaller grouping of under 2 inches.

Overall the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit performed well for me shooting consistently without any issues. The Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit is a very basic airgun with your standard double action trigger that will be on the longer side, that said it felt pretty good and was not overly heavy with a fairly predictable pull and release making it easy enough to find your target. Action shooting will be OK too since the trigger is not super heavy for a double action only trigger. Pickup the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol in a variety of colors over at the Replica Airguns Online Canada and US Stores!

Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol Airgun Kit Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Non-blowback CO2 BB Pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by Crosman.
Model: P10 Wildcat / Phantom.
Materials: Plastic & metal.
Weight: 1.1 pounds (500 grams).
Barrel: Smooth bore barrel.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto non-blowback, double action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 20 round drop out plastic magazine.
FPS: Claimed 480.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol is typical of a Double Action Only Trigger and so you will expect it to be a longer medium to heavy pull. I’d say it’s more of a medium pull, it’s not going to be the fastest action shooter because of this but it will get the job done emptying the 20 round stick magazine quick enough. Like many of these lower cost basic CO2 BB pistols the barrel acts like the hammer in that it does protrude out of the barrel opening when you pull the trigger and snap back upon release.

Accuracy & Power: At this point I have not shot the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol so I can only quote what Crosman claims on their packaging in terms of velocity which is a peppy 480fps. We will have to see if this figure is close to the mark when I get to the Field Test Shooting Review for the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol, along with test results for accuracy at 30 feet downrange.

Build Quality: The Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol is mostly all plastic with some metal internal parts where they need to be for strength and durability issues. The Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol is basically two plastic halves put together with screws on the right side. This may not be the prettiest way to build a CO2 Airgun but it does work and keeps things simple, simple means there are a lot less things to go wrong which means you will have an airgun that is reliable for a long time.

Realism: The Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol is not a replica of any specific real steel pistol in production but in my opinion it kind of looks like a hybrid of a Beretta and Sig merged together. Obviously the Blue and Pink versions are made to show they are not real steel guns but you can get the P10 in the all black Phantom version which will look more like a real gun. There are few moving parts on the Crosman P10 line of Airguns, just the trigger, safety and magazine release. All other parts are moulded into the plastic with no working slide or even hammer. The CO2 tab is well hidden by the grips but the barrel is not reassessed at all.

Available From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Blue and pink color scheme may ease some parents when buying a first BB gun.

  • High FPS rating.

  • Non-blowback will get more shots per CO2.

  • Comes with a generic nylon holster you can use with other airguns too .

  • CO2 tab is nicely hidden inside the grip.

  • Double action trigger pull is long but not too firm.

  • Should work with other similar styled magazines commonly found on lower cost BB pistols.

  • Assembled in the US.

Cons:

  • All plastic gun for the most part with just a few internal metal parts.

  • Not many working parts pretty much all moulded gun.

  • Grips fairly loose, don't really snap into place, could fall off easily.

Comments:

I’m not really a big fan of all plastic non-blowback airguns as I have made aware in many of my other videos. That said there is a place for Airguns like the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol for those looking to buy an Airgun not so much as a close replace but simply just to shoot at targets and have fun with. The Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol will do just that very dependably while offering lots of shots per CO2 with a high fps, it should also get reasonable accuracy while doing so. Being able to get it in a variety of colors means you can personalize the Crosman P10 Wildcat CO2 BB Pistol a bit more and the blue and pink versions may be the deciding factor for some parents sitting not the fence on whether or not to allow their young adult or teenager to buy their first CO2 BB Pistol.

TR5 Pellet Rifle - Schofield No. 3 BB-Pellet Revolver - RG-88 Chrome Blank Pistol Unboxing Preview Video

No Comments

Here we have three very different products I Unbox and Preview for everyone. A Spring Piston multi-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle, a single action BB/Pellet revolver that’s not a Colt! And a really nice looking Semi Auto Blank Pistol in a Chrome finish.

Let’s start with the Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle. I think this is a really well thought out Air Rifle. It’s “almost a Bullpup” in design but it does actually load in front of the trigger just a bit, that said most of the spring piston is behind the trigger setup making it really compact yet with a longer than normal barrel compared to regular Break Barrel Spring Piston Air Rifles. The Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle also has a side lever cocking mechanism along with a 5 round auto indexing magazine which makes it much quicker to cock and reload for fast follow-up shots, again compared to a standard Break Barrel Air Rifle, not to mention no barrel droop! The Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle has a claimed fps of up to 500 so we are getting the max amount of velocity possible for our Canadian laws without making it a regulated firearm and requiring a PAL license. And by the way the Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle does come in both a Lime Green and all Black version just in case you are not a fan of the Lime Green finish I show in this video.

Moving onto the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica, if you like single action revolvers then take a look at the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica. It’s a lot more bulky than a Colt Single Action Revolver and also has that top Break design that makes reloading quick and easy. The version we are selling inner Replica Airgun Online Store is the kit version that comes with 6 BB shells and 6 pellet shells so you can take your pick on ammo types. The barrel is not rifled so Steel BB’s will not hurt the Airgun and since pellets are skirted they do not need a rifled barrel to fly straight and true. You can expect around 445 fps for the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica.

Last up is one of my favorite Blank firing Semi Auto Pistols which I have already full reviews in the all Black version so checkout those Video Reviews for more info on the ROHM RG-88 line of Front Firing 9mm Blank Pistols. All I really wanted to show you guys with the ROHM RG-88 9mm PAK Blank Pistol in Polished Chrome is how awesome it looked with the Polished Chrome finish and that we do have more choices now than we use to have in terms of what finish you can get your ROHM RG-88 in. Personally I like the Polished Chrome finish the best but you can also get it in all Black and Matte Chrome, so you decide which one you like the best.

Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: CO2 Bolt action pellet pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by Webley.
Model: Webley Nemesis.
Materials: Metal & Polymer.
Weight: 2 pounds (907 grams).
Barrel: 6.25 inches metal rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Bolt action repeater, single action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: .177 / .22 caliber pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 14/ 12 round double sided rotary magazines.
FPS: Claimed 430 / 370.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is rather good, there is just a little bit of take up with a light and crisp release. You will have to work the bolt to engage the internal hammer for single action only shooting.

Accuracy: This is one of those times when I actually have already done my Field Test Shooting Video for the Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol and it performed well. My test version was the .177 caliber model with a claimed fps of 430 and I got exactly that with a 5 shot average sting on my Chronograph. I was using 6.9 grain lead pellets so not the lightest or heaviest pellets. I then placed 14 rounds into my paper target setup 30 feet down range and proceeded to get a 1.5 inch 14 round grouping. That’s with no previous time shooting this Airgun so I know it is for sure capable of sub 1 inch grouping with open sights. Keep in mind you can mount a laser, red dot or optical sight on this Airgun very easily for even better potential accuracy!

Build Quality: The Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol on the outside is pretty much an all plastic Airgun but it does have good weight to it at 2 pounds so there must be a fair amount of internal metal parts. The barrel and bolt for sure are metal! The plastic does seem very good quality with nice fit and finish throughout the Airgun.

Realism: The Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is not styled specially to look like any particular one gun but I have to say it does have an overall Glock look to it but in a much larger form factor. For a CO2 bolt Action Pellet Pistol it is fairly modern looking compered to other target styled pellet pistols out there.
Available From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • First multi-shot rotary mag CO2 Pellet pistol I have come across.

  • Good accuracy and power!

  • Can add a red dot or optical sight to it using the top built in Dovetail rail.

  • Can add a laser or tac light using the bottom built in Weaver Picatinny rail.

  • Has a nice modern look to it for a target pellet pistol.

  • Rifled steel barrel.

  • Fiber optic sights adjustable for windage.

  • Nice light and short single action trigger.

  • Allen key and magazine storage compartment built into airgun.

  • Would be good for small pest control because of decent fps and good accuracy.

Cons:

  • Doesn’t like all pellet sections.

  • Sights are not adjustable for elevation.

Comments:

The Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is not really a Replica Airgun so to speak but it’s nice to shoot a dedicated target pellet pistol once in a while and the Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is that for sure but with a more modern and cool looking exterior than most. The Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is also one of the first bolt action Air pistols I have come across that has a rotary magazine which combined with decent power and accuracy could make it usable for small pest control since you do have quick follow up shots just in case the first shot doesn't get the job done. I will say the Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is a bit pellet picky especially if the skirting on your pellet choice is narrow. I would advise you to choose a more chunky pellet with a wider skirt which will make magazine indexing smooth and consistent.

Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

Make sure to watch my Preview Table Top Review for the Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol if you’re looking for more specifications and details.

The Webley Nemesis is a really interesting CO2 Pellet Pistol, so far I have not reviewed an Airgun like it. Yes I have reviewed bolt action CO2 Pellet Pistols in the past but not one with a rotary magazine for much quicker followup shots. This is by no means as quick as a semi auto shooter but being able to quickly work the bolt action without having to manually place a pellet in the breach area sure does speed things up.

On the box Webley claims up to 420 fps with the ,177 caliber version the Webley Nemesis is a really interesting CO2 Pellet Pistol I was testing and I was able to get an average of 430 fps using a brand new CO2 along with RWS 6.9 grain lead pellets. I did find the RWS pellets I was using did not feed all that well perhaps because they had a fairly narrow waist on them which does effect the way pellets are held in the rotary magazine. The temperature was fairly normal at right around room temperature.

For my accuracy portion of the Field Test Shooting Video for the Webley Nemesis is a really interesting CO2 Pellet Pistol, I switched to Sig Sauer .177 caliber lead pellets and they worked much better in terms of chambering cleanly for me. I found the Webley Nemesis is a really interesting CO2 Pellet Pistol shot a bit high on my paper target placed 30 feet away, so I set my sights on the bottom ring which placed almost all my 14 shots right in the bullseye. My 14 shot string was grouping around 1.5 inches but I am sure the Webley Nemesis is a really interesting CO2 Pellet Pistol could shoot quarter sized objects at 30 feet downrange all day long once you get use to it.

The trigger on the Webley Nemesis Bolt Action CO2 Pellet Pistol is one of the highlights of this air pistol, it really feels great. Combine this with nice high consistent fps and excellent accuracy and the Webley Nemesis is a really interesting CO2 Pellet Pistol is a great target shooter with potential for up close small pest control.

Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle Review

1 Comment

This Review for the Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle is a bit different than most I do since usually I perform a dedicated Table Top and Field Test Reviews for each gun I review here on the Replica Airguns Website. I feel that since the Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle is such a “long gun” that showing it on the table would not work so well , plus it was a super nice day and I wanted to get outside and maybe even shoot a little bit.

I will be performing my usual Field Test Shooting video where I test the Feet Per Second and accuracy at 30 feet so stay posted for that. For now I will leave you with this outdoor “Show and Tell” review.

Specifications:

Type: CO2 BB Rifle.
Manufacturer: Umarex
Model: Umarex Legends Cowboy
Materials: Mainly metal with plastic stock.
Weight: 5.95 pounds (2699 grams).
Length: 38 inches total length
Barrel: 19.25 inch Metal non-rifled smooth bore.
Propulsion: Dual 12 gram CO2.
Action: Lever Action.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm Steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 10.
FPS: 410 fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle is pretty much a single action only trigger since you will need to work the lever action to not only elect and chamber a shell but to also pre cock the hammer. Once the hammer is cocked and ready the trigger pull is short, light and crips, perfect for accurate shooting.

Accuracy: I have only shot 16 rounds through the Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle during the making of this review video and found the Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle to shoot right on target at 30 feet out. I did notice it shot just slightly high at this range but not a lot and it was dead center windage wise. For longer ranges you can adjust the rear sight to raise the barrel even more. In terms of power it’s hard to say what I was getting, Umarex says it should hit around 410 fps, I felt like it was pretty close to this , maybe a tad bit faster but I will find out for sure when I perform my Field Test Shooting Video Review shortly.

Build Quality: The Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle looks and feels great coming in at nearly 6 pounds and built out of mostly metal with a plastic stock. Don’t be too put out by the plastic stock, it does mimmic the part of wood very well. All the metal parts have a semi-gloss or I would even say matt back finish and so far the paint is wearing pretty good, no noticeable paint coming off that I can see. The action works great with no failure to chamber, eject or shoot rounds.

Realism: The Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle is an awesome example of the classic lever action cowboy rifle. Having the ejecting shells makes it feel like you are shooting the real deal right from the time you start loading up the 10 shells into the pipe magazine, until you work that lever action and pull the trigger. Watching the ejected shells fly through the air is the icing on the cake :) There is not much more you can ask for from a BB firing replica Lever Action Cowboy Rifle!

Pros:

  • Super realistic replica lever action BB firing Cowboy Rifle.

  • Fully working lever action, chambers and ejects shells perfectly.

  • Good weight and feel to it with lots of metal throughout.

  • Everything works exactly like the real steel version.

  • Duel CO2 to help get not only more shots before reloading CO2 but also a more consistent FPS from all shots.

  • Adjustable rear sight for elevation.

  • Comes with 10 rounds and can also use your Umarex Colt Single Action Army BB shells in it.

  • Plastic imitation wood stock looks very much like real wood.

Cons:

  • Stock is not real wood, hopefully Umarex offers a wood upgrade for it at some time.

  • A bit low in FPS, why not take it right up to 499 fps since the US version has a 600 fps rating.

  • Took too long for us to get it here in Canada!.

Comments:

The Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle is a perfect example of an Airgun company listening to their customers and bringing to market exactly what we are looking for, kind of like the Single Action Army Revolvers that came out a while back. These old cowboy guns are a blast to shoot from the time you pick up the rifle, insert 10 shells into the magazine, work the lever action, pull that trigger and then repeat 10 times. This is a must have for anyone looking for a super realistic BB rifle, even if you’re not an old west cowboy fan I think you will love shooting the Umarex Legends Cowboy Shell Ejecting CO2 BB Rifle!

The Best Way to Hold Your Airgun

No Comments

I made a similar video about how to hold your airgun a while back but sometimes they get a bit buried in all the video I make. I feel it's really important how you grip your gun even if it's only an airgun with very little kick or recoil. Proper pistol grip is something you should use no matter what so that you can carry it forward to what ever gun you are shooting.

More kick or recoil means a firmer grip is required to hold the gun so when shooting a powder burner with lots of kick grip becomes even more important.

In this video I go over the proper two handed grip to use when holding a pistol, which hand to hold lose and which had to grip tight, how to overlap your fingers and thumbs.

Umarex NXG APX Multi-pump Pellet-BB Rifle Table Top Review

1 Comment

Type: Multi-pump Pellet-BB rifle.
Manufacturer: Umarex USA.
Model: NXG APX.
Materials: Metal and polymer parts.
Weight: 3.4 pounds (1.54 kg).
Barrel: 20 inches, rifled.
Propulsion: Multi-pump.
Action: Single shot pellets/repeater BB's.
Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets & 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 75 BB's in hopper.
FPS: up to 490.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex NXG APX Multi-pump Pellet-BB Rifle is not too bad, I would not say it's overly light but not on the heavy side either. Essentially it has a single action trigger since you need to pre-charge the bolt to engage the trigger. There is a little bit of take-up and then a fairly noticeable break point where you will feel the most trigger weight right before it releases.

Accuracy: So far I have not performed my Field Test Shooting review for the Umarex NXG APX Multi-pump Pellet-BB Rifle so I do not have any velocity or accuracy information to share at this point. I do plan on making that Shooting video Review this week so stay posted for that one.

Build Quality: The Umarex NXG APX Multi-pump Pellet-BB Rifle is not going to be one of your highest quality airguns but it does get the job done and feels solid enough with all the working parts feeling tight and secure. Most of the Umarex NXG APX Multi-pump Pellet-BB Rifle is plastic, even the bolt and trigger but you will find more metal inside where it counts like the inner steel barrel and the outer steel barrel shroud. The stock is plastic and that's OK, I do like the addition of the rubber butt pad and cheek rest as they work well and help to make the Umarex Umarex NXG APX Multi-pump Pellet-BB Rifle feel comfortable to hold in position and shoot.

Realism: Since the Umarex NXG APX Multi-pump Pellet-BB Rifle is not a replica, realism is not really a factor here but it does look like a gun so treat it as if it was a real gun since most people will not know the difference. Always transport and store any airgun safely and discreetly.

Pros:

  • Low cost air rifle with a lot of features.

  • Iron sights actually look really usable with the fiber optic red dot up front.

  • Comes with an 4x15 optical sight which should help with accuracy at longer ranges.

  • Super easy to pump even when getting close to the 10 pump max.

  • Built in auto safety.

  • Stock and cheek rest position feel really good.

  • Choice of shooting pellets or BB’s.

  • Trigger feels pretty good, not too heavy.

  • Mostly an ambidextrous design so good for lefties too.

  • Has a rifled barrel.

  • Overall a good looking air rifle.

Cons:

  • Mostly plastic, not the highest quality build.

  • Included 4x15 scope is super low budget but will work till you can upgrade it down the road.

Comments:
I really hope the Umarex NXG APX Multi-pump Pellet-BB Rifle shoots well as it is kind of a cool air rifle with a lot of features at a low price tag and would make a great little target and maybe even small pest air rifle if it turns out to be accurate and hit that near 500 fps mark with pellets. The Umarex NXG APX Multi-pump Pellet-BB Rifle is not going to win any quality or design awards but from a usability stand point it works well and feels good to hold and shoot, the rear stock and cheek rest are in a perfect piston for me and this is a pretty small airgun overal. Personally I would invest in an upgraded scope, something like the Walther 4x32 would be perfect and not too expensive.

The Umarex NXG APX Multi-pump Pellet-BB Rifle is available in both the Stand Alone Air Rifle and Kit Version that comes with the addition of safety glasses, targets and ammo.

Umarex Morph 3X CO2 BB Gun Table Top Review

2 Comments

Type: BB Gun/Rifle.
Manufacturer: Umarex USA.
Model: Morph 3X.
Materials: Plastic with some internal metal parts.
Weight: 2.5 pounds (1134 grams).
Barrel: 4.5 inches, metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: 12 gram CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto, double action only.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 30 round internal magazine.
FPS: 480+.

Trigger Pull: The double action type trigger pull on the Umarex Morph 3X CO2 BB Gun is reasonable, it is a bit on the longer side but is smooth with low friction and has a predictable break point. I found it very easy to shoot this gun with good accuracy shooting out in front as a pistol or rested on the shoulder using the shoulder stock more like a rifle.

Accuracy: The good news is that I have already done my Field Test Shooting video for the Umarex Morph 3X CO2 BB Gun so make sure to check that video review out when you have a moment. I was very impressed with the overall shooting performance of the Umarex Morph 3X CO2 BB Gun, it scored well in both power and accuracy! I was able to get a nice tight 3/4 inch 10 round grouping on my paper target setup 30 feet away and even with this Canadian versions 4.5 max length barrel I was still able to get really close to 500 fps out of the Umarex Morph 3X CO2 BB Gun! I wonder what velocity I would have managed if the extension barrel actually included the inner barrel portion for the full 12 inches of barrel length?

Build Quality: The Umarex Morph 3X CO2 BB Gun coming in at around $100 is a low cost BB gun considering it is so versatile. At this price point you are going to find an almost all plastic build with the exception of some internal metal parts. That said the Umarex Morph 3X CO2 BB Gun feels solid and well made, all the fitted parts feel tight when put together.

Realism: The Umarex Morph 3X CO2 BB Gun is not a replica of any gun that I can point out? It can also morph into so many different variation, Umarex says it has 3x configuration but I counted 8 possible configuration when mixing and matching components.
Available From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Under $100 in Canada at the moment of this review.

  • Super versatile airgun with lots of configurations.

  • Very powerful CO2 BB gun even in short barrel pistol only mode.

  • Shooting test showed it had good accuracy, as good as any BB gun I have tested.

  • Rails top and bottom for accessories.

  • Fiber optic sights front and back.

  • Has a Velocity Screw for adjusting fps power.

  • In Pistol form with the rear stock, it would make a great back pack airgun.

  • 30 round internal magazine for lots of shooting fun without having to reload so often.

  • Uses 12 gram CO2, cheap and easy to buy.

Cons:

  • Mostly plastic build.

  • No inner barrel inside rifle extension so just for show, does not increase velocity.

  • Rear sight is not adjustable but you have the option to add on a red dot or optical sight to the rail.

Comments:
I was pleasantly surprised with the Umarex Morph 3X CO2 BB Gun, I expected it to be much different from a lot of the other airguns I have reviewed since it is so versatile with all of its configurations. I was not expecting it to be so powerful with only the short 4.5 inch inner barrel. I was again surprised but the accuracy, not many BB guns get a 3/4 inch grouping at 30 feet out! Another kind of cool feature I didn't even know about at first is the ability to adjust the velocity using a screw for higher or lower fps. Lower fps will maximize the amount of shots you get from a 12 gram CO2 while higher fps is just kind of more fun to shoot in. I also don't often recommend BB  guns for pest control but in this case with how light weight and easy the Umarex Morph 3X CO2 BB Gun is to break down and put in a backpack, and the fact that it is fairly powerful and accurate out to 300 feet. I feel in a pinch you could take down some small vermin if you found yourself hungry and lost in the woods.

Crosman Marlin Cowboy BB Rifle Field Test Shooting Review

No Comments

Another revisit for an inexpensive and fun BB shooter, the Crosman Marlin Cowboy BB Rifle! I have done some previous video reviews and comparisons for the Crosman Marlin Cowboy BB Rifle so make sure to check them out. I also recently did an update Field Test Shooting Video for the Daisy Red Ryder BB gun which is a very comparable airgun to the Crosman Marlin Cowboy BB Rifle.

Here is a quick overview of the Crosman Marlin Cowboy BB Rifle, it's designed for younger smaller shooter with it's short stock but it's still fun of all ages! You can store 700 4.5mm Steel BB's in its internal magazine and Crosman claims a max velocity of 350 fps. Like the Daisy Red Ryder the power source is a spring piston that is activated by the lever action.

Now let's talk about how the Crosman Marlin Cowboy BB Rifle performed in my Sea Can Field Test Shooting test...  Crosman claims a max fps of 350, my Chronograph results came in at a 5 shot average of 316 fps which is not bad compared to the Daisy Red Ryder that also has a claimed fps of 350 but only shot around 240 fps.

So the Crosman Marlin Cowboy BB Rifle is the clear winner in terms of velocity over the Daisy Red Ryder but what about accuracy? That's a different story, the Crosman did not perform all that great for me shooting at a paper target 30 feet away using a rested shooting position. I shot 10 rounds at my paper target and got about a 5-6 inch grouping, there was an underlying smaller tight group that was closer to about 3 inches but a god 3-4 of the BB's came out of it spreading out the group significantly.  Compare that to the Daisy Red Ryder with a nice tight 2 inch group.

So what do you want? Power or accuracy? I figure since the Crosman Marlin Cowboy BB Rifle is really targeted of the younger more entry level shooter that it should have good accuracy so they know when they are doing it right and less concerned on if the gun is performing as it should. Sure power is fun and smashing your targets does give a certain satisfaction but you have to hit the target first :)

Both the Crosman Marlin Cowboy BB Rifle and Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun are fun airguns for sure, I guess it just comes down to which one you want to buy...
