In this Table Top Review, we're taking a detailed look at the ASG CZ P-10 C CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol. As always, this is a Table Top Review only, so there won't be any shooting in this video. However, a dedicated Field Test Shooting Video will be coming later to see how it performs in real-world use.

This is an ASG product, officially licensed by CZ, and it features authentic markings, including the 9x19 stamp. It's a modern, full-blowback airsoft replica that mirrors the real steel CZ P-10 C very closely. Manufactured in Taiwan and distributed by ASG, this model stands out with some excellent out-of-the-box features, making it a highly versatile and realistic option for airsoft shooters.

Build Quality & Design

The ASG CZ P-10 C delivers a solid mix of materials with its metal slide and nylon frame construction. The metal slide gives it a realistic, top-heavy weight and feel, while the nylon frame keeps the overall weight balanced at a manageable 1.63 pounds. The full metal 22-round magazine, which houses the 12g CO2 cartridge, adds substantial weight to the grip, giving the gun a very realistic presence in the hand.

Field stripping is incredibly simple and authentic to the real steel version—just pull down the two tabs and rack the slide forward to remove it. While the most of the frame components are mostly plastic, the heavy metal slide ensures durability where it counts.

Handling & Controls

This pistol is designed with ergonomics and modern handling in mind. It features mostly ambidextrous controls, including an ambidextrous slide catch and release. While the magazine release comes set up for right-handed shooters, it is completely reversible. The pistol includes a working trigger safety and comes with three interchangeable backstraps, allowing you to customize the grip size to perfectly fit your hand.

One of the standout design choices on this airgun is the hop-up adjustment. Instead of having to field strip the pistol to make adjustments, you can access the hop-up wheel directly through the open ejection port when the slide is locked back, a massive time-saver during gameplay.

View fullsize

Sights & Optics

Out of the box, the ASG CZ P-10 C is optics-ready and comes with an optics plate already installed on the slide. If you prefer to run standard iron sights, ASG includes a rear white-dot sight in the box that you can easily swap out by removing the plate. It also features a fixed white-dot front sight for quick target acquisition.

Additionally, the gun features a 14mm CCW threaded outer barrel right out of the box, hidden under a protective orange cap. This makes it instantly ready to accept a mock suppressor or a tracer unit once the cap is removed.

View fullsize

Performance Expectations

With a claimed velocity of around 330 FPS (1.05 Joules) using a 12g CO2 cartridge, it hits perfectly within standard indoor CQB limits while still offering enough power for outdoor play. Because it features full blowback operation paired with a fairly heavy metal slide, you can expect a very crisp, realistic recoil effect with every shot.

View fullsize

Pros

• Officially licensed by CZ with authentic 9x19 markings.

• Full blowback operation with a heavy metal slide for realistic recoil.

• Optics-ready out of the box with the plate pre-installed.

• 14mm CCW threaded outer barrel ready for a suppressor or tracer unit.

• Convenient hop-up adjustment dial accessible through the open ejection port (no field stripping required).

• Includes three interchangeable backstraps to customize grip size.

• Ambidextrous slide release and reversible magazine release.

• Simple and realistic field stripping process.

• Comes in a Black and Tan version

Cons

• Comes with an orange cap on the barrel, though it serves to protect the 14mm threads and can be removed.

• The standard rear sight is not installed out of the box (requires swapping the pre-installed optics plate).

• Internal trigger group components are mostly plastic.

Final Thoughts

The ASG CZ P-10 C CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a modern, feature-rich sidearm. It bridges the gap perfectly between a realistic training tool and a highly capable Airsoft primary or secondary. The inclusion of an installed optics plate, a threaded barrel, and a hop-up that doesn't require field stripping shows that ASG really thought about the end-user when designing this replica. I'm looking forward to getting this out for the field test to see how that heavy slide cycles and this Airsoft Pistol tests out on the Chrony and Paper Target.

Today we are staying dry inside out of the rain and stepping into the indoor range for a practical field test and penetration review of the Umarex T4E TP50 Less Lethal Pistol. If you are looking for a legal and unregulated deterrent for home defense that packs a surprising punch, you’ll want to see how this .50 caliber paintball-style pistol performs straight out of the box.

The Test Setup

For this test, we are keeping the TP50 entirely stock. There are no valve modifications or aftermarket upgrades here, this is exactly what you get when you open the box.

We are shooting from a distance of approximately 30 feet. Here are the specs on the ammunition and power for today's test:

• Ammunition: .50 caliber rubber balls with a steel core. These are slightly less dense than nylon but heavier than standard rubber due to the steel center. (Just under 3 grams)

• Power Output: Pushing roughly 12 to 13 Joules.

• Velocity: Traveling at just over 300 feet per second (fps).

Our targets for today include a solid piece of 3-ply wood, a metal trash can lid and some thick plastic bucket lids to see exactly what kind of damage this less-lethal option can do.

View fullsize

Target 1: The 3-Ply Wood Test

First up was the 3-ply wood. Given the velocity and the dense nature of the target, I wasn't expecting the Umarex T4E TP50 Less Lethal Pistol to blow right through the wood.

After putting a couple of rounds downrange, the results were impressive. While it didn't fully penetrate the 3-ply, it hit with a resounding smack and left significant, visible damage on the surface. Honestly, this gun shoots much hotter than I remembered. It is absolutely no slouch.

Target 2: The Galvanized Steel Garbage Can Lid

second up, I aimed at the galvanized steel garbage can lid. Going into this stage, I expected the .50 caliber round to simply smack the surface and fall straight to the ground without penetrating, which is exactly what happened.

However, even though it didn't punch a hole through the metal, the sheer force of the impact was undeniable. The round hit the steel hard, proving that even against dense, unforgiving surfaces, the TP50 is pumping out some serious kinetic energy.

Target 3: The Plastic Barrel Lids

Next, we moved on to the plastic barrel lids. I expected the TP50 to punch through a single lid, so we taped two of them together to see how far it could push.

This is where the Umarex T4E TP50 Less Lethal Pistol really showed its teeth. When I fired, the recoil actually threw my hand back, this gun has genuine kick to it, especially when firing these heavier steel-core rounds.

It does seem to shoot a bit on the high side at 30 feet, so I ended up hitting the target near the top edge. Even so, the steel-core rubber ball blew cleanly through the first plastic lid and struck the second. That level of penetration from a stock, 12-Joule less-lethal pistol is incredibly impressive.

Final Thoughts

The Umarex T4E TP50 is a powerhouse for an out-of-the-box, unregulated less-lethal pistol. While it's designed as a deterrent rather than a lethal option, the 12 to 13 Joules of energy paired with steel-core rubber balls provides more than enough kick to send a very clear message to anyone who shouldn't be up to no good and on your property.

If you are looking for a highly capable less-lethal pistol that sits well within Canada's unregulated legal limits, the TP50 delivers.

If you are interested in picking one up for yourself, or you want to check out our other less-lethal options, head over to replicaairguns.ca in Canada or replicaairguns.us in the US.

The Umarex T4E TP50 Gen 2 continues to impress as one of the more powerful and practical compact less-lethal pistols currently available. In this field test review, I tested the all-black version using .50 caliber rubber-steel core rounds to see how it performs in terms of velocity, energy, and real-world accuracy. The black version is essentially the same as the orange-marked variant, just marketed a bit differently, with a more tactical appearance that may appeal to those looking for a serious training or home defense-style option.

For ammunition, I used the steel-core rubber balls rather than standard solid rubber rounds. These projectiles are slightly heavier and seem to carry noticeably more energy downrange without sacrificing too much velocity. In my opinion, they are probably some of the best ammunition choices for these types of pistols if maximum impact energy is your goal.

Velocity testing through the chronograph produced some very impressive numbers. The TP50 Gen 2 delivered readings of 319 FPS, 304 FPS, 310 FPS, 300 FPS, and 308 FPS, averaging just over 308 feet per second. With the steel-core rubber rounds weighing approximately 2.7 grams, the pistol produced roughly 12-13 Joules of muzzle energy using the Steel Core Rubber Balls but would have been closer the projected 15 Joules with all Rubber Balls, which is extremely respectable for a compact CO2-powered .50 caliber launcher. You can really hear and feel the power when firing this pistol, and it even generates noticeable recoil-like kick during shooting.

Accuracy testing was performed from 30 feet downrange using the six-round internal magazine. Paintball-style projectiles are naturally less precise than pellets or BBs due to their softer construction, surface ridges, and aerodynamic inconsistencies, but the Umarex T4E TP50 Gen 2 still delivered surprisingly solid grouping performance. After adjusting my aim slightly low due to the pistol shooting a little high initially, the remaining shots grouped well into the center portion of the target and produced clean, sharp holes through the paper target with about a 3 inch grouping.

In practical terms, this pistol clearly delivers enough impact energy to strongly discourage an attacker or aggressive threat. The steel-core rubber rounds hit extremely hard, especially considering the combination of high velocity and projectile mass. While heavy clothing would certainly absorb some impact, anyone wearing lighter clothing would absolutely feel these rounds. The all-black appearance also adds to the realistic tactical styling, which alone could act as a deterrent before a shot is ever fired.

Overall, the Umarex T4E TP50 Gen 2 proved to be accurate enough for close-range defensive-style use, delivered excellent power, and offered reliable operation throughout testing. The trigger feels good, the pistol handles nicely, and the performance with steel-core rubber ammunition was impressive across the board. For anyone looking for a compact CO2-powered less-lethal launcher with strong energy output and solid build quality, the TP50 Gen 2 is definitely worth considering.

It’s that time again, another Mystery Box unboxing for the Replica Airguns channel. As usual, no idea what’s inside going in, but this one lines up right after SHOT Show season, which usually means some interesting gear starts showing up.

This isn’t a full review, just a first look at what came in. Detailed Table Top and Field Test videos will follow once everything gets properly looked at and tested.

What’s in the Box?

This month’s box included three very different airsoft products:

View fullsize

1. KJ Works KP-13 CO2 Airsoft Pistol

A Glock-style pistol - but not a Glock.

First Impressions:

• Very familiar Glock-like ergonomics and controls

• Polymer frame with a metal slide

• Trigger safety and integrated accessory rail

• Front fiber optic sight, black rear sight

• Full-size drop-out magazine (CO2 powered)

It also came with a barrel extension, but it arrived with damaged threads. Not a huge loss since those extensions tend to be fragile anyway and aren’t essential for most users.

Takeaway:
If you're looking for a Glock-style platform without licensing restrictions, this fits the role well. Likely compatible with some Glock holsters depending on fit.

View fullsize

2. Specna Arms SA-F249 Machine Gun (ParaFlex)

This was the standout item, and easily the most unexpected.

First Impressions:

• Large, heavy, and very aggressive-looking

• FN M249-style light machine gun “replica” (Non trademarked)

• Battery-powered box magazine with hopper feed system

• Integrated bipod and carry handle

• Multiple Picatinny rails

• Includes extra spring and accessories

The feeding system and internal layout aren’t immediately obvious, it’s one of those guns that clearly requires some setup and understanding before use.

Takeaway:
This is not a casual backyard plinker. It’s a full-on support weapon platform, something you’d expect in a tactical or milsim environment.

View fullsize

3. Specna Arms SA-F04 FLEX Electric Airsoft Rifle (Gen 2)

A much more approachable and practical option compared to the F249.

First Impressions:

• AR-style AEG platform

• Mostly polymer construction with some metal components

• Adjustable stock (buffer tube style)

• Picatinny rails and M-LOK compatibility

• Comes with both orange and black flash hiders

• Includes extra spring (M90) for velocity tuning

• Dean’s connector

Takeaway:
This looks like an entry-level to mid-tier rifle, compact, lightweight, and ideal for someone getting into Airsoft or wanting a versatile CQB setup.

Overall Thoughts

This box had a good mix:

• Pistol platform (KP-13) → familiar, practical

• Entry-level rifle (SA-F04) → accessible and versatile

• Heavy support weapon (SA-F249) → niche, but very cool

The F249 clearly stole the show just based on size and complexity, but the SA-F04 is probably the one most people would actually use regularly.

What’s Next?

As usual:

• Tabletop reviews will come first (closer look, specs, handling)

• Field test shooting videos are stacking up and coming next

Where to Find These

If you're in Canada, these should be available through:

• www.ReplicaAirguns.ca

Some models may also be available in the US store:

In this table top review, we’re taking a look at the Umarex T4E TP50 Gen 2 CO2 Paintball Pistol, part of Umarex’s T4E (Training for Engagement) lineup. This version is marketed more as a tactical training pistol, while its nearly identical counterpart, the HDP50, is positioned toward home defense.

At first glance, the TP50 and HDP50 look almost identical. The main visual difference is that the TP50 comes in an all-black finish, while the HDP50 features an orange slide. Beyond that, the functionality, performance, and specs are essentially the same.

Key Features and Specifications

• Manufacturer: Umarex

• Model: T4E TP50 Gen 2

• Caliber: .50 caliber

• Power Source: 12g CO2 (quick piercing system)

• Action: Semi-auto, double action trigger

• Magazine Capacity: 6 rounds (internal inline magazine)

• Velocity: Rated up to 465 FPS

• Energy: Claimed 11 joules (can be higher depending on ammo)

• Barrel Length: ~4 inches

• Overall Length: ~8 inches

• Weight: ~1.5 lbs (0.7 kg)

• Construction: Polymer frame and slide with metal internals and barrel

• Safety: Integrated trigger safety

• Rail: Under-barrel Picatinny rail

• Sights: Fiber optic front and rear

View fullsize

Overview and First Impressions

The TP50 Gen 2 is a compact, .50 caliber paintball-style pistol designed for training, recreational shooting, and less-lethal applications. It has a solid feel in the hand, not too heavy, not too light, and resembles a full-size handgun profile, similar in size to a large-frame pistol.

Despite its polymer exterior, the internal components that matter, especially around the CO2 system—are metal, giving it durability where needed.

CO2 System (Quick Piercing Feature)

One of the standout features is the quick piercing CO2 system:

• Insert the CO2 cartridge (butt-first)

• Tighten the cap until snug

• When ready to use, give the bottom a firm “whack”

• A pin pops out on the back where you can see it to indicate the system is pressurized

This allows you to keep the pistol loaded but not activated, which is useful for storage or readiness situations.

Ammo Compatibility

The Umarex T4E TP50 Gen 2 CO2 Paintball Pistol supports a wide range of .50 caliber ammunition, including:

• Rubber balls

• Powder balls

• Paintballs

• Steel/rubber hybrid balls

• Pepper balls (limited availability in Canada)

Performance varies significantly depending on the weight of the projectile:

• Lighter rubber balls: ~450 FPS / ~13–15 joules

• Heavier projectiles: lower energy (down to ~7–11 joules)

View fullsize

What’s Included

• TP50 Gen 2 pistol

• Two tubes of 10 rounds each (powder + rubber balls)

• Barrel cleaning squeegee

• Instruction manual

• Cardboard packaging (blue “tactical pistol” branding)

View fullsize

Walkaround Highlights

• Fiber optic sights make target acquisition easy in various lighting conditions

• Textured grip and slide for solid handling

• Metal trigger with integrated safety

• Wide open barrel design

• Picatinny rail for adding lights or lasers

• Clear “Strike” marking for CO2 activation point

Overall, it’s a clean, functional design with a tactical look, especially in the all-black version.

View fullsize

Pros

• Compact size compared to other .50 cal pistols

• Wide variety of compatible ammo types

• Quick piercing CO2 system (very practical)

• Good power for its size (~11–15 joules range)

• Fiber optic sights improve usability

• Picatinny rail for accessories

• Realistic all-black tactical appearance

Cons

• Only 6-round capacity before reload

• Limited shots per CO2 (~3–4 reloads)

• Internal magazine (no quick mag swaps)

• Pepper ball ammo difficult to source in Canada

• Efficiency trades off for higher power

TP50 vs HDP50 (Quick Comparison)

• TP50: All black, marketed as tactical training

• HDP50: Orange slide, marketed for home defense

• Performance: Essentially identical

View fullsize

This difference is largely cosmetic and marketing-driven, so choosing between them comes down to preference and intended use.

Final Thoughts

The Umarex T4E TP50 Gen 2 CO2 Paintball Pistol is a solid, compact .50 caliber CO2 pistol that delivers respectable power in a manageable platform. It’s not designed for high-capacity shooting or efficiency, but rather for impact, simplicity, and versatility in ammo choice.

If you’re looking for a less-lethal option or a training pistol with realistic handling and solid performance, the TP50 fits that role well, especially if you prefer the more discreet all-black tactical look.

In this April 2026 unboxing, there’s a solid mix of power, realism, and variety straight out of the box. Even before opening it up, the size and weight of the package hinted that this wasn’t going to be a light or basic shipment. As usual, this is more of a first look and overview rather than a deep dive, with full tabletop and field test reviews coming later.

CenterPoint AT400 Compound Crossbow Kit (400 FPS)

The first item out of the box is easily the most substantial: an AT400 compound crossbow kit. This is not one of the smaller, backyard-friendly crossbows—it’s a full-sized, high-powered unit designed for serious use.

• Velocity: Rated around 400 feet per second

• Energy: Approximately 142 ft-lbs

• Features:

  • Detachable silent crank system for easier cocking

  • Picatinny rail for mounting optics or accessories

  • Full kit setup with multiple components included

This level of power puts it well into small-to-medium game hunting territory, making it more than just a recreational piece. Because of its size and power, testing it indoors isn’t really practical, so this one will likely get a detailed tabletop breakdown rather than a traditional shooting demo.

View fullsize

Umarex T4E TP50 Gen 2 (.50 Cal Tactical Pistol)

Next up is the Umarex T4E TP50 Gen 2, this time in the all-black tactical version rather than the more recognizable orange training model.

• Caliber: .50 caliber

• Velocity: Up to 465 FPS

• Ammo: Rubber balls (included in the box)

• System: CO2 powered with quick-pierce activation

This version stands out for a couple of reasons. First, the higher velocity suggests noticeably more energy compared to earlier or training-focused versions. Second, the all-black design gives it a much more realistic look, closer to a traditional firearm aesthetic.

Functionally, it uses a spring-fed internal magazine and a preloaded CO2 system, allowing you to keep it ready without gas leakage. When needed, a quick strike activates the CO2, making it immediately usable.

Based on typical .50 cal projectile weights and that velocity, this likely lands somewhere in the mid-to-high teens or possibly around 20 ft-lbs of energy, though exact numbers will be confirmed during testing.

View fullsize

E&L AKS-74N AEG Airsoft Rifle (Legends Series)

The final item in the box is a standout for realism: the E&L AKS-74N AEG airsoft rifle, branded under the “Legends / Legendary Perfection” line.

This is clearly built to replicate the real AK platform as closely as possible.

• Construction:

  • Real wood stock

  • Stamped steel receiver and metal components

  • Folding stock (magnetic lock)

• Operation:

  • AEG (Automatic Electric Gun)

  • Semi and full-auto firing modes

  • Adjustable rear sight (elevation)

• Extras:

  • Deans connector compatibility

  • Included specs sheet with velocity in m/s

The weight is immediately noticeable, estimated around 7–8 pounds, which adds to the realism. The combination of real wood furniture and steel construction gives it a very authentic feel compared to lighter, polymer-heavy Airsoft rifles.

The included magazine is polymer, but it should be compatible with standard AK-style AEG mags, meaning upgrades or swaps are likely straightforward.

Final Thoughts

This unboxing delivers a strong mix across three very different categories:

• High-power archery platform (AT400 crossbow)

• Compact CO2-powered .50 cal pistol (TP50 Gen 2)

• Full-metal, real wood AEG rifle (E&L AKS-74N)

Each item targets a different type of user, from tactical training and backyard use to collectors and realism-focused Airsoft enthusiasts.

As always, this is just the first look. Full tabletop reviews, comparisons, and field tests will break down real-world performance, usability, and value.

I caught up with Mark at the Umarex booth to check out a stack of new releases for 2026, ranging from backyard BB “fun guns,” to a major upgrade for the Thompson, plus a dual-fuel hunting/pest-control PCP concept and some serious less-lethal / training options.

• Storm Line BB Rifle (dual CO2, full auto): A traditional, “tamer-looking” BB rifle that’s anything but tame.

  • Capacity: 400-round main reservoir + 25-round ready magazine

  • Action: Full auto

  • Vibe: Affordable, high-volume backyard fun, while keeping the styling less “tactical,” which could help for markets like Canada.

• Ridge Tech Lever Action (CO2): Lever actions are hot, and this one leans modern while staying simple and budget-friendly.

  • Feed system: 8-round magazine + 120-round reservoir built into the mag

  • Use case: Tin-can plinking and family backyard sessions, “CO2 Red Ryder for adults” energy.

• Thompson M1A1 Drum Magazine Upgrade: The #1 request finally landed: a drum mag for the Thompson.

  • Capacity: 400 BBs

  • How it runs: Wind as needed to keep feeding similar to Airsoft High cap magazines

  • Best part: The drum magazine is planned to be sold separately and should work with the older stick-mag Thompson versions too, so existing owners can upgrade without buying the whole gun again.

• Outpost (25 cal) “Dual Fuel” PCP Concept: One of the most interesting items in the booth, a platform aimed at practical use over pure plinking.

  • Power source: Runs on a nitrogen cartridge or as a traditional PCP-style setup out of the box

  • Caliber: .25 only

  • Design notes: Side lever, folding stock for compact carry, onboard spare-mag storage (prototype shown)

  • Positioning: Built for small game / pest work and “preparedness” minded buyers

  • Canada angle: CO2 use (if supported) could drop velocity, but in this form it sounded like it may currently be on the “too fast for Canada” side, so detuned / CO2-focused variants were discussed as a possibility.

• S68 (68 cal, CO2, ~16J): Compact launcher format with real punch for its size.

  • Power: 12g CO2

  • Magazine: 6-shot standard, extended option mentioned

  • Ballistics talk: Roughly ~360–380 fps with a ~46-grain projectile (as recalled in the interview)

  • Ammo pairing: Steel-core “core defense” style rounds were emphasized for hard impact; pepper options depend heavily on local rules.

• HDX 68 “Shotgun Style” (68 cal): A higher-capacity, higher-energy format.

  • Capacity: 16 rounds

  • Energy: ~36 joules mentioned

  • Use case: Home / business defense in jurisdictions where these products and ammo types are legal.

• HDC 68 (M4/Rifle Style, CO2, adjustable): A configurable platform that can run mag-fed or hopper-fed.

  • Tuning: Adjustable velocity

  • Feeding: Magazine or hopper (round ammo works well; shaped rounds can be used depending on orientation)

  • CO2 options: 88g CO2 or adapters for 12g

  • Why not nitrogen (yet): Too much pressure without regulation, risk of damaging projectiles in the barrel.

• New Ruger-Branded 1911 (CO2 blowback): A dressed-up 1911 variant with extra detail.

  • Notable features: Flared magwell, two-tone finish, extended beavertail, competition-style touches

  • Appeal: A strong trainer option for 1911 fans, great feel, realistic handling, and that classic 1911 cycling character.

• Competition-Style CO2 Pistol (single-shot): A purpose-built target/competition format with modern mounting options.

  • Loading: Single-shot

  • Ergonomics: Competition grip + competition styling

  • Mounting: Built-in rail (no “upgrade it just to mount stuff” hassle)

  • Caliber shown: .177, with the obvious question of a future .22 variant.

Watch the Full Interview Video:

We visited the ASG booth with Bob (his 13th SHOT Show) to check out what’s new for 2026, with several updates aimed at Canadian buyers.

• New budget AR AEG line (April/May target): three versions planned (all-polymer, polymer receiver w/ metal rail, and all-metal). Target pricing is about $150 USD (polymer) and $210–$220 USD (all-metal). Includes battery + charger, plus two springs (one outdoor/Canada-legal and one ~330 FPS), with easy spring swaps. Some models include an ETU.

• GL06 40mm launcher: an older favorite that keeps selling, highlighted for its durable build, long barrel, and long firing pin designed for better reliability with a wider range of shells.

• Canada-focused HPA solution (in development): ASG is working on an HPA setup to help gas blowback models meet Canada’s import threshold (they referenced 367 fps) so more options can be brought into the country.

• Canada version P-10 CO2 (March/April target): updated with a higher-velocity valve aiming around ~380 fps, making it Canada import legal. Comes in black and FDE, full blowback, and includes an optics plate for red dots.

• Blaster BBs refreshed: BB lineup is consolidated into Blaster / Alpha Blaster (premium) / Beta Blaster (budget/field), with options like bio and tracer. US availability is expected early February.

In this Field Test Shooting Video I take a look at the KJ Works KP-19S. I’ve reviewed the KP-19 in the past, so this one should perform similarly, but it’s been a while and I wanted to get this one out for a proper range session.

I’ve already done a tabletop / close-up video for the KP-19S covering the specs, features, and up-close details, so if you want the full walk-around and all the technical info, make sure you check that out first.

For today’s session, I focused strictly on performance in the same basic field-test format: velocity testing, then a 10-shot accuracy group at 30 feet, and finally some overall shooting impressions.

Velocity Testing (Chronograph)

For the chronograph test, I ran 0.25g Airsoft BBs (not 0.20g), so expect the readings to come in a bit lower than what many people quote online.

My chronograph also decided to be difficult today, throwing “Error 2” messages and not registering shots consistently, so I had to keep working at it until it finally started giving me some readings.

Once it cooperated, I got five velocity readings:

• 312 fps, 304 fps, 293 fps, 288 fps, 284 fps:

• Average of 296 fps

A couple notes to keep things fair:

• If I had started the test with zero shots fired beforehand (the way I normally try to do it to maximize “fresh CO2” performance), the first shots could be a bit higher.

• Because this was with 0.25g BBs, if you ran 0.20g BBs, you’d likely see higher numbers, potentially into the low-to-mid 300s depending on conditions.

• This model also includes an extended barrel option that can push velocity higher, but I didn’t test it that way because most people run the pistol in its standard configuration (without a long exposed barrel sticking out).

Accuracy Testing (30 Feet)

For the accuracy test, I put a paper target at 30 feet and fired 10 rounds. The nice thing here is that the pistol should lock back on the last shot, so it makes it easy to confirm you’re done without having to count.

Results were excellent for a quick out-of-the-box test:

• With the exception of one flyer, everything was within about an inch

• The group was well-centered left-to-right

• Elevation was also very good without any sight adjustments

There isn’t much you can do for sight adjustment on this one unless you add a laser or optic, but you can tweak elevation slightly via hop-up, depending on your setup.

Final Thoughts

This pistol performed really well for me today.

The KJ Works KP-19S has that 1911-style trigger feel, light, short, and responsive, paired with a snappy blowback that makes it fun to shoot. Velocity was consistent once the chronograph started behaving, and the 30-foot grouping was far better than I expected without any tuning.

Aesthetically, it’s also a great-looking gun: a tactical, modern two-tone style with a double-stack magazine look that gives it that “2011 / hi-cap tactical 1911” vibe. If that’s the style you’re after, the KP-19S is a strong choice.

It should also work with most KJ Works tactical 1911 / double-stack style magazines, so if you already own similar KJ Works pistols, you may be able to mix and match mags. You can also run green gas magazines, but velocity will generally be lower. If you do choose to run the extended / threaded barrel setup, you can hide it with a mock compensator, but it will turn the pistol into a longer, bulkier package. Personally, I prefer it in the standard configuration.

Where to Buy

You can check this pistol out in our Canada Store (and possibly the US Store, depending on availability). I’ll include links where applicable, along with general store links where you can browse airguns, BB guns, airsoft guns, pellet guns, blank guns, and accessories.

In this Table Top Review, we’re taking a detailed look at the KJ Works KP-19S CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol. I’ve already reviewed the standard KP-19 in the past, and while the two pistols share a lot in common, there are some important differences between the KP-19 and the KP-19S that are worth covering.

I’m not entirely sure what the “S” officially stands for, possibly Sport—but interestingly, I’d actually argue that the non-S KP-19 is the more competition-oriented version, especially for IPSC-style Airsoft shooting. That said, the KP-19S still offers excellent performance, strong build quality, and a feature-rich design.

As always, this is a Table Top Review only. A full Shooting / Field Test Video will follow later.

This pistol is currently available in our Canada Replica Airguns store, and if a similar model is available in the US store, links will be provided in the video description.

In the Box:

• KP-19S CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol

KP-19 vs KP-19S – What’s Different?

The KP-19S shares most of its core design with the standard KP-19:

• Same frame, grip, slide profile, trigger guard

• Same skeletonized trigger and hammer

• Same magazine compatibility

View fullsize

Key Differences

• KP-19 (Non-S):

  • Flared magwell

  • Compensator

  • Removable rear plate for mounting a red dot

  • More competition-oriented configuration

• KP-19S:

  • No flared magwell (cleaner, more streamlined look)

  • Fixed rear sight

  • Two-tone appearance

Performance between the two should be nearly identical, and if you’ve already watched the field test for the standard KP-19, expect similar results from the S version.

Walk-Around & Handling:

The KP-19S is a large pistol with a fairly wide grip. Shooters with smaller hands may find it bulky, but balance and weight distribution are excellent. At just under two pounds, it feels solid without being overly heavy.

Notable features include:

• Slide cutouts on the top and sides

• CNC-style gold/brass-colored fluted barrel visible through the slide

• Fiber-optic sights that are extremely easy to pick up

• Ambidextrous safety

• Reversible magazine release

• Dual threaded barrel system (inner and outer threads)

The full blowback action is strong, crisp, and satisfying, with excellent slide movement and reset.

View fullsize

Field Strip:

Field stripping follows a classic 1911 takedown:

1. Align the slide notch

2. Push out the takedown pin

3. Remove the slide assembly

Once opened, you gain easy access to:

• Inner barrel

• Recoil spring

• Hop-up adjustment wheel

Reassembly is quick and straightforward, making cleaning and maintenance easy.

View fullsize

Pros:

• High metal content with excellent weight and balance

• Strong, realistic full blowback action

• Excellent fit and finish typical of KJ Works pistols

• High-capacity 25-round metal magazine

• CO2 or gas compatibility (with appropriate magazines)

• Dual threaded barrel for accessories and extensions

• Bright fiber-optic sights (easy to acquire on any background)

• Short, light, adjustable 1911-style trigger

• Ambidextrous safety and reversible mag release

• Easy field stripping and hop-up access

Cons:

• Grip is wide and may not suit shooters with smaller hands

• Higher price point compared to similar KWC 1911 models

• Rear sight is not adjustable and does not accept a red-dot plate

  • Optics would need to be rail-mounted from underneath

View fullsize

Final Thoughts:

The KJ Works KP-19S is a high-quality, full-featured CO2 blowback Airsoft pistol with excellent build quality, strong recoil, and competition-inspired styling. While it lacks some of the modular competition features of the KP-19 non-s version, it offers a cleaner, streamlined look and the same reliable performance.

If you’re looking for a quality CO2 Airsoft pistol with a fantastic trigger, solid blowback, and premium construction, the KP-19S is a strong contender.

A full shooting and field test video will be coming soon.

I had the chance to take the KJWorks KP-18 TBC CO2 Full Blowback Airsoft Pistol out for some testing today in the Replica Airguns Indoor Shooting Range to see how it performs. I’ve already done my close-up tabletop breakdown (specs, build, pros/cons), so if you want the close-up visuals adn details, go check that video out. For this session I concentrated solely on performance, a quick 5-shot chronograph run to record velocity and a 10-round semi auto group at 30 feet followed by the rest of the mag in full auto to get a practical feel for out-of-the-box accuracy.

For the chronograph test I used a fresh 12-gram CO2 capsule with stand.25 gram Airsoft BBs, and the temperature was about 20°C. Five shots with .25 gram Airsoft BBs registered 301, 301, 291, 285, and 281 fps, averaging out to 292 fps. That’s within the expected range for a full-blowback CO2 pistol running heavier .25 gram Airsoft BBs, you’d see higher velocities with lighter .20 gram rounds, and it’s plenty adequate for Airsoft games and target work plinking.

View fullsize

On the accuracy side I fired from 30 feet using a semi-rested shooting position (hands braced on a sandbag while seated). In semi-auto the KJWorks KP-18 TBC CO2 Full Blowback Airsoft Pistol shot just slightly low and a touch left, producing roughly a 2-inch group with most rounds clustered reasonably well. Switch to full-auto, however, and it becomes almost impossible to keep on target, the pistol tended to climb high and stray to the right, putting most shots completely off the target. That full-auto behavior makes it poor for controlled rapid-fire engagement, but in semi-auto it’s much more manageable.

All told, the KJWorks KP-18 TBC CO2 Full Blowback Airsoft Pistol is a strong option if you like the Glock style or already own (or plan to own) a real-steel Glock. physically and mechanically it shares a very similar feel. KJWorks has a reputation for high-quality, well-made products, and this pistol is another solid example. If you don’t need official Glock licensing but want a Glock-based Airsoft pistol, the KP-18 is a great choice, especially for shooters who value realism and good build quality in a reasonably priced package.

Total Length: 7.9 inches (20cm)
Barrel: 4 inches (10.6cm) metal non-rifled.

View fullsize

Trigger Pull: The trigger on the KJWorks KP-18 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol behaves like a true Single Action Only unit, pleasantly light with a fairly short travel. There’s a bit of initial take-up, but you can clearly sense the crisp break near the rear where the release occurs, extremely light, consistent, and free of any noticeable slack. Remember you’ll need to rack the slide to chamber the first BB; after that the blowback mechanism handles all subsequent cycling.

View fullsize

Accuracy: I haven’t yet fired the KJWorks KP-18 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol or produced a Field Test Performance video for it. However, I’ve already completed a full field and shooting test for the very similar KJWorks KP-13, so I’d expect comparable on-target performance between the two. I’ll post a full field test and shooting video for the KP-18 TBC down the road, stay tuned.

View fullsize

Build Quality: KJWorks pistols are generally well made, and I expect the KP-18 TBC to follow that pattern. Based on my hands-on time with the KJWorks KP-18 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol and my first impressions of the KP-18, fit and finish look excellent. As with other models, you’ll find metal and polymer components positioned where they would be on a real modern semi-auto pistol, which contributes to the solid, authentic feel.

View fullsize

Realism: The KJWorks KP-18 TBC is a close visual replica of the real-steel Glock G18-style pistol, albeit without official licensing. Umarex holds the Glock license for many BB and Airsoft models, and the fact that a green-gas magazine from the Umarex Glock 17 full-blowback fits the KP-18 suggests KJWorks may be manufacturing some Glock-pattern airguns for Umarex. Glock has historically objected to unlicensed replicas in North America, so how this will play out remains unclear. For now, both licensed and unlicensed options exist for buyers.

View fullsize

Pros:

• Metal and Polymer with decent weight and good feel to it.

• Heavy Full blowback operation.

• Excellent fit and finish as always with KJWorks pistols.

• High capacity full size drop out magazine that holds the CO2 and 22 rounds.

• Well hidden safety incorporated into the serial number under the barrel.

• Working trigger safety.

• White dot front sight and white outlined rear sight for easy target acquisition.

• All working components like a real steel Glock styled pistol.

• Comes with extended threaded outer barrel for adding a possible compensator or mock-suppressor.

• Comes with barrel extension for higher velocity shooting (Possibly for easier import into Canada).

• Would make a good training weapon if you are a real steel Glock owner.

• Has a semi and full auto selector toggle located on the left rear of the slide.

• Can use CO2 or gas magazines.

• Field strip-able.

• No orange tip.

View fullsize

Cons:

• Sights are not adjustable.

• Full auto will use CO2 like crazy but may be worth it.

• Not a licensed version.

View fullsize

Comments:

If you’re a Glock enthusiast seeking a realistic training piece, you can shoot more affordably and in more places, there are more choices than ever. If official licensing matters, Umarex is the go-to option, although I haven’t seen a full-auto Glock from them yet. For those who prioritize a full-auto-style experience, the KJWorks KP-18 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is as close to a real-steel Glock full-auto feel as you’re likely to find. I also appreciate the magazine interchangeability with some Umarex Glock mags if you already own a Glock 17 Airsoft pistol for instance. Whatever route you choose, it’s great to see more Glock-pattern airguns coming to market.

In this Umboxing Preview Video I take a quick look at tow Airsoft Guns from KJWorks, one is a Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle and one is a CO2 Full Blowback Airsoft Pistol. I don’t get into too many of the details or specifications as this is really the first time I have seen either of these Airsoft Guns in person, a full table top and field test video review will be coming up for both of these Airguns down the road but I did want to get them out there so everyone know these are either in the Replica Airguns Online Store or will be showing up soon.

The first item I grabbed out of the box was the KJWorks KP-18 TBC CO2 Full Blowback Airsoft Pistol which looks a lot like a Glock but with a full auto selector switch on the left side of the slide and it also is the TBC model so it comes with a barrel extension that attaches to the inner barrel and the option to add a mock suppressor to the outside barrel threads. This version comes with a CO2 magazine but I am sure there are option to use it with a Gas magazine also.

Next out of the box was the KJWorks M700 Take Down Gas Airsoft Sniper Rifle which is a break down bolt action gas operated Sniper based Rifle as the name suggests. It is super easy to assemble and has a nice smooth bolt with the only sighting option being the addition of a scope added to the included picatinny rail. The base of this rifle is very heavy so it is is not a light weight rifle by any means.

Here are some more details for each of these Airsoft Gun:

KJWorks KP-18 TBC CO2 Full Blowback Airsoft Pistol

• Type: Airsoft pistol.

• Manufacturer: KJ Works.

• Model: KP-18-TBC-CO2.

• Weight: 1.7 Pounds (775 grams).

• Length: 7.9 inches (20cm).

• Caliber: 6mm BBs.

• Propellant: CO2/GAS.

• Capacity: 22 rounds.

• Velocity: 410 FPS.

I had a really fun time teasing out the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol. I’ve already done a full tabletop review covering all the specifications, features, pros, and cons, so check that one out if you want the detailed breakdown adn more closer up video. Today’s video is all about the performance. I’m running it through the chronograph to see how fast it really shoots, and then putting ten rounds on paper target at 30 feet to get a realistic look at its true accuracy.

For the velocity test, I loaded up a fresh 12-gram CO2 cartridge and standard 0.25-gram Airsoft BBs. The temperature during testing was about 24°C, or 75°F. Six shots over the chronograph came in at 296, 316, 299, 296, 301, and 294 feet per second, which works out to a 300 fps average. Not bad using the heavier .25 gram Airsoft BB’s. That’s a solid result for this full blowback platform, and on a warmer day adn using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s, you could probably squeeze a bit more speed out of it.

View fullsize

As per usual, accuracy testing was done from 30 feet out, shooting from a semi-rested position with my hands braced on a sandbag for stability and sitting on a stool in the back. The KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol printed slightly high, but windage was spot-on, and the string came in at roughly a 1.5-inch group. One shot wandered off a bit low as a flyer, but overall, the grouping was tight for a CO2 blowback Airsoft pistol, showing it’s more than capable of consistent performance.

Overall, I came away impressed with the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol. The single-action trigger is crisp and light, giving it a very clean break. The blowback is strong and sharp, adding to the realism, and the build quality looks and feels solid in the hand. With its accurate shooting, great trigger feel, and satisfying recoil, this pistol is an excellent pick for anyone after a high-quality CO2 blowback 1911 that looks, feels, and performs the part. Another winner form KJWorks!

Wow, two mystery boxes this time to unpack and see what’s inside! I did have a bit of an idea that there was going to be two new BB Blowback CO2 Glocks from Umarex, the same ones I checked out at this years SHOT Show. There was also some more Air Pistols from various companies. One from Novritsch, the SSX23 NBB Gas Airsoft Pistol, that looked like it was Blowback as the slide does cycles. The Daisy 415 Powerline CO2 BB Pistol, a fairly simplistic Air Pistol, the Vigilante Dual Ammo CO2 BB/Pellet Revolver, I’m pretty sure I have visited before from Crosman. And one more item from Umarex, the Umarex Ruger P345 CO2 NBB Airsoft Pistol keeping to the basic low cost theme.

I also got a few accessor items from a company called GEAR STOCK, Some CO2 in 12 and 88 gram along with some 6mm aluminum Airsoft BB’s. A very cool rechargeable red and green laser that comes in a nice hard shell case and it has a picatinny rail on the bottom she you can stack a second accessory under it.

Here are some links and specs for the Airguns I show off in this mystery box video:

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol is exactly what you would expect from a similar real steel 1911, it’s super short and light, the take-up is almost non-existent with a super light release. There is no adjustment on it but I don’t feel it is needed at all as this is not a competition Airgun, KJWorks does make and sell 1911’s more suited for competition shooting. There is just something about a 1911 trigger that I love!

View fullsize

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol or even made my Field Test Shooting Performance Video. I have shot a fair amount of KJWorks Full Blowback Airsoft Pistols and they have in all seemed to perform very well for me. So I’m confident when I get to the Field Test Shooting Video for the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol I will not be disappointed in it.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The KJWorks line of Airsoft Guns are known for their quality build and attention to detail, the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol is no exception. It is a mostly all metal Airgun with the acceptation of the grips and gas tube, and perhaps a couple other small internal parts? Fit and finish is bang on and the slide spring feels nice and firm, which should result in a nice crisp blowback action. There is almost no slide wiggle with the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol which again speaks to the quality and workmanship of KJWorks products.

View fullsize

Realism: I’m not really sure how you could get a more realistic Airsoft Pistol than what you have here with the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol. It is 1 to 1 scale and functions almost identically to a real steel 1911 A1. It has full blowback operation and can be field stripped fully top to bottom. Even the grip safety is required in order to shoot it. This version in order to fit the flared out CO2 cartridges does have indents in the magwell which is different than what you would ind on a traditional 1911 but it is not super obvious.

View fullsize

Pros:

• Pretty much all metal pistol with good weight to it.

• Full heavy blowback operation.

• Excellent fit and finish as always with KJWorks pistols.

• High capacity full size drop out magazine that holds the Airsoft BB’s and CO2. (Can get Green Gas mags also).

• Comes with barrel extension and threaded barrel tip.

• Comes in all black and OD green two tone finish.

• Working backstop safety

• Nice short and light true 1911 style single action only trigger.

• Fully field strip-able.

View fullsize

Cons:

• Sight are non-adjustable and do not have any white or fiber inserts.

• No rail mounting options.

• CO2 magazine sticks out a bit.

Comments:

If you are looking for a traditional 1911 styled semi auto Colt Pistol and don’t want a more modernized 1911 then the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol has that classic look but with a bit of an upgraded magazine and the ability to add a mock compensator mainly to protect and hide the barrel extension which when added will increase the velocity and perhaps also accuracy. I like the all black version but you can also get one in two tone OD Green for a more contrasted look. Looking down the sights will be your biggest challenge with the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol, as it has standard post and notch sights that do not have any white dots or marking to assist with aiming. It will be an upgrade for sure from a lessor expensive KWC Full Blowback 1911 and I feel ti is worth the additional money especially if you are a big 1911 fan like me.

In this Unboxing Video I checkout a mid sized mystery box and find some new products inside that I will be making future Table Top and Field Test Shooting Videos for. In this Unboxing Preview Video I mainly talk a look at each item mostly for the fist time and I go over some of the basics for each of them. IN my upcoming full review videos I will go way more into detail so make sure to watch those videos when they come out.

So what did I get in this months box of goodies? The first item I unpacked was the KJWorks 1911-TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol. A firmly traditional 1911 with a single stack magazine configuration at least in terms of external size. I am pretty sure the actual Airsoft BB’s will stack side by side to some degre as it does hold 24 rounds. It also comes with a barrel extension and the ability to add a much suppresser to it to cover the barrel extension I would imagine. It is also available in an OD green receiver version.

The next item I grabbed from the box was the NcSTAR FlipDot Mod. 02 Flip-up Red Dot Sight specifically designed with a MOS compatible mounting plate for Glock Pistols like the new Umarex Glocks I checked out at this years SHOT Show. You can mount this compact Flip-up Red Dot sight directly to the slide of these new Glocks and it also comes with some adaptor plate option for attaching it to a Picatinny Rail.

The next item I took a look at was the Umarex Combat Zone Enforcer Airsoft Pistol. A low cost adn simplistic mostly plastic CO2 powered lightweight Airgun with an all metal 15 round stick magazine and a 400 fps claimed velocity. It’s not going to be the most exciting Airgun but there is very little to go wrong and being so light weight makes it super durable in the even of a drop or fall.

Last but perhaps the oust interesting item that came in this months mystery box was the G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Airsoft Rifle. I kind of butchered the name but I do talk a pretty good look at it in they video. The G&G ARP9 3.0P is a compact AEG Rifle (at least with the stock folded out). It has a unique magazine where the Airsoft BB’s load into 4 separate channels, I am assuming this helps to get more ammo in the magazine (300 rounds) and make it smoother so hopefully less or no jamming. The G&G ARP9 3.0P feels solid in the hand and well made, it also has a claimed velocity of 370 fps which is perfect.

I look forward to making my full Table Top and Shooting Review videos of each of these items so make sure to check back if you are interested in any of them…

This is part 2 of my 2 part Field Test for the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Rubber Ball Less Lethal Pistol. In this video (Part 2), I test out 2.7 gram rubber/steel balls (metal core) to find out what the velocity and accuracy is along with the overall joules energy rating. Umarex claims around 11 joules using the 1.6 gram standard rubber balls, I do expect less velocity and possibly less energy downrange with the heavier 2.7 gram ammunition. While I test out the velocity with my Chronograph, I also aim at a paper target setup 30 feet away to see just how accurate this ammo type is, and hopefully I get all 4 of the max rounds close to where I am aiming on the target.

Starting with velocity or power, I was hoping to get into the 250+ fps so I could get somewhere near the claimed 11 joules, but the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Less Lethal Pistol shot more in the higher 100’s resulting in a three shot average of 176 fps. I did chronograph all 4 shots and they were somewhat close in velocity to each other: 159, 187, 176, 180 fps. Even then the average Joules was only around 4 which is a pretty far off the claimed 11 joules and even less than the 5 Joules I got using the standard all rubber 2.6 gram rubber balls. I did use a brand new CO2 and it was not exactly cold in my testing environment so I am too sure what caused the lower results from both ammo types?

While I was recording the velocity I was simultaneously recording the same 4 shots on the target and I did mange to get all 4 shots on my 8x11 paper target fairly well centered with a grouping with three of the 4 shots all within about 2.5 inches of each other adn very well center to the bullseye. One shot did hit a bit lower extending the group to around 5 inches. If this was an intruder I would have for sure been able to hit them easily at 30 feet away all within their main torso area. So in terms of accuracy with both ammo types, the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Less Lethal Pistol was competent when using both the standard rubber balls and the rubber/steel balls I used in this review.

As mentioned in video 1 of this 2 part series, I do like the smaller size of the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Less Lethal Pistol over the non-compact version but it does seem to be down significantly on power as compared to its larger brother adn this was the case using both ammo types. I am not sure if it would be a good deterrent based on the power output I got in my Field Tests. I am sure it would not want to be on the receiving end of this Less Lethal Pistol, perhaps it the intended vital was not wearing any thick clothing it would deter them but even a light jacket would probably stop most of the impact. Maybe at close range some head and face shots would get the job done, but in the heat of the moment I would not count on being able to make those type of consistent shots. My advice is if you want to use the the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Rubber Ball Less Lethal Pistol as intended, then go with the non compact version as it does hit the claimed power rating and then some.
