It’s been a little while since I’ve done an unboxing, so we’ll call this the February 2026 Mystery Box Unboxing Video.
First up: SHOT Show is officially wrapped on my end, interviews, teaser, the whole run. There should be a playlist available so you can binge everything in one place. Now that the heavy editing grind is done, I’m getting back into regular reviews, unboxings, tabletop breakdowns, and full field tests.
Also: we’re back on YouTube and I’m uploading like crazy. I’m moving the library over from Vimeo one-by-one (lots of clicks, lots of time). We’ve got roughly 1,300 videos total, and I’m already around 500 videos in, so if you’re hunting for something specific, use playlists and search because new uploads can get buried fast. If you can, subscribe and share the channel with other Airgun enthusiasts so we can build momentum again.
What was in the box?
1) SIG P229 (.177 Pellet, blowback)
I initially called it a P226, but it’s the P229 (compact). This is a pellet version (not BB), with:
16-round rotary stick magazine (8 per side)
Blowback, semi-auto
Claimed 380 FPS
3.9" barrel, 7.7" overall length
2.2 lb, hefty all-metal feel (mag is plastic)
No slide lock-back due to the rotary setup, but it looks great in-hand. Tabletop and field test videos are coming, and I’ll run it on typical lead pellets to see real-world performance.
2) T4E TC68 (.68 cal, CO2/HPA capable)
This is the TC68 trainer that shoots .68 caliber rounds (rubber, powder, paint, pepper ball options depending on what you choose). Specs and highlights:
Claimed 330 FPS and 16 joules
20-round magazine-fed setup
Supports dual 12g CO2, 88g CO2, and HPA options
Includes multiple configurations (stocks/adapters) plus a hopper-fed option
I’ll confirm operating modes, setup options, and performance in the upcoming tabletop and field tests.
