I finally got my hands on the new Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol that was introduced this year at SHOT Show and I have already made my Table Top Review Video so make sure to watch that video for information on specifications, details, Pro’s and Con’s and more close up video… In this Field test Shooting video I focus on the performance of the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol by testing the velocity out with my Chronograph and also shooting 10 rounds into a paper target setup 30 feet away to see what the real world velocity and accuracy actually is.
Starting off with the Velocity portion the test, I us a brand new 12 gram CO2 along with standard 5.1 grain Steel BB’s. Temperature for the record was about 22 degrees Celsius or 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Here were the result of my 5 shot Chronograph testing: 278, 275, 273, 273, 271 fps with an average of 274 fps. That was very consistent for a full blowback CO2 Airgun and close to the 280-290 claimed fps. Warmer temperatures could for sure get this Airgun up to the claimed fps.
Next I shot 10 rounds into a fresh paper target 30 feet down range using a semi rested shooting position, so with my hands resting on a sand bag up front and sitting on a stool in the back for somewhat stable shooting. There is always a bit of human factor involved but I seemed pretty steady on this day, and for what I consider to be a good result for a Full Blowback CO2 Air Pistol. The Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol shot a little bit low out of the box but well centered left to right. The grouping spread out about 3 inches total and that was mostly in the elevation so perhaps an inconsistency in velocity may have played a roll. In terms of windage (left to right placement), the group was closer to two inches total.
I was very pleased with the performance of the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol , it shot really close to the claimed velocity with a fairly consistent fps for the most part. The accuracy was also right where I would expect a gun like this to perform and even though it shot a bit low on the bullseye, it was in the ball park and easy enough to simply adjust ones aim point to get more on target. The blowback action is quick and snappy with a nice simulated recoil and the single action trigger feels good. I did end up shooting two full 17 round magazines through this Airgun with no problem, and after letting it warm up a bit there is more than likely a third magazine left of CO2. If you want the most ultra realistic BB version of a Full Blowback Airgun with the ability to add a Red Dot to the top slide, then the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is the prefect choice!
