Today, we are putting the Specna Arms SA-F249 to the test. If you haven't seen one yet, be sure to check out the detailed tabletop review and the outdoor shooting video I've already posted. Today, however, is all about the hard numbers. We are bringing it into the indoor sea can to check the chronograph performance and see what kind of accuracy we can squeeze out of this absolute beast on paper. Let's get right to it.

Chronograph Velocity Test

To start things off, I loaded up some quality 0.25g airsoft BBs to run through the chrony. This setup currently has a standard voltage adaptor, for the LED lighting system though my usual one died on me, so I’m running an adjustable voltage adapter.

After a brief, accidental full-auto burst (remember, this is a support weapon designed to lay down cover!), we dialed it in for some attempted single shots (super short trigger pulls) to get our baseline velocity readings.

Chronograph Results (0.25g BBs):

• Shot 1: 363 fps

• Shot 2: 364 fps

• Shot 3: 365 fps

• Shot 4: 362 fps

• Shot 5: 363 fps

• Shot 6: 365 fps

The consistency here is phenomenal. We are sitting right in that 363 to 365 fps sweet spot. For an AEG out of the box, seeing variance of only a couple of feet per second between shots is a testament to the internal air seal and overall build quality.

Full-Auto Accuracy Test

With the velocity dialed in, it was time to set up a paper target downrange. Because this is a sport based automatic weapon, there's no semi-auto selector that I could locate, it's meant to be fired in full auto, and that’s exactly how we tested it.

Instead of the massive 1500-round box magazine it comes with, I opted to run a standard AR-15 style magazine for this indoor test. I locked it in, aimed just below the center of the target, and let the spring unwind until the mag the spring could not push anymore Airsoft BB’’s out, dumping roughly 50 to 75 rounds in one continuous burst.

View fullsize

The Results: Absolutely incredible. For a full-auto dump of that size, you would normally expect the BBs to spray across the paper. a little bit Instead, the Specna Arms SA-F249 punched a jagged, blown-out hole right through the target, resulting in a remarkably tight 2-inch grouping.

To pump that many rounds into such a condensed area on full auto is outstanding. It proves that this gun isn't just about suppressing fire; it provides highly accurate, concentrated fire downrange.

Final Thoughts

The Specna Arms SA-F249 is an incredibly impressive piece of kit. It delivers laser-like consistency on the chronograph and lays down surprisingly tight groupings in full auto. If you are looking for a support weapon that doesn't compromise on accuracy, this one needs to be on your radar.

Today, we are checking out the second-generation Lil' Sure Shot Annie Oakley BB Rifle. This is essentially a Red Ryder-styled, spring-powered BB rifle.

If you are interested in seeing how this looks up close along with the specifications and details, make sure to check out the table-top video. Today is going to be all about shooting it.

Chronograph Velocity Test

To get started, I needed to warm up the chrony, which took a little bit of troubleshooting. I had an ongoing voltage issue with my chronograph lighting and had to use a voltage regulator set to almost exactly 7 volts to get it to work properly without a proper adapter.

Once the chrony was up and running, I put several rounds through the rifle to test the velocity. The velocity remained pretty consistent in the mid-300s, with shots recording at 341, 340, 333, 329, 334, and 332 fps. averaging out at 334.

View fullsize

Target Accuracy Performance

For the accuracy portion of the test, I set up a paper target 30 feet down range. Here is how the rifle performed:

• Grouping: After firing about 10 shots, the rifle got just over a two-inch grouping.

• Placement: The shots were well-centered from left to right, though it shot a little high even when aiming just under the bullseye. I noticed a few stray BBs came back, which happens if they hit metal instead of the cloth backboard, causing some high flyers. (This could of been me as the bulk of the shots all grouped really nicely)

• Sights & Adjustability: It can be a little tough on the eyes aiming black front and rear sights on a target when you need readers for most things, which may have contributed to some of those shots hitting slightly higher. You can adjust the elevation slightly by moving a little piece on the sight backward and forward to raise or lower it. The rifle also features a dovetail, allowing you to mount a nice optical sight or a red dot.

Trigger Pull & Feel

• Pull Weight: The trigger pull comes in at around 5 to 6 pounds.

• Action: It is fairly short with a pretty predictable break.

• Usability: It requires a little effort, but it is not a super hair trigger, making it perfect for youngsters who are just starting out with shooting.

Conclusion

Overall, the Annie Oakley Lil' Sure Shot delivers exactly what you want out of a classic, Red Ryder-styled spring-powered BB rifle: it's straightforward, reliable, and just plain fun to shoot. While you aren't going to get competition-level precision out of a smoothbore BB gun, holding a solid two-inch grouping at 30 feet and putting out very consistent mid-300s fps velocities proves that it is more than capable of handling your everyday plinking or indoor target practice.

What really makes this rifle shine is its accessibility. With a predictable 5 to 6-pound trigger pull that requires deliberate effort without being a super hair trigger, it is a fantastic option for youngsters who are just learning the fundamentals of shooting. Plus, the inclusion of a dovetail mount means there is room to grow with the shooter, you can easily slap a red dot on there if the standard black iron sights prove a bit too tough on the eyes against various target. If you are looking for an entry-level plinker that performs right where it should, this second-generation Lil' Sure Shot is a great place to start.

Despite a rocky start, my test with the Specna Arms SA-F249 machine gun did yield some eventual results. Initially, I set up multiple cameras (Three Sony Cameras, Insta360 X4, DJI Neo 2, Looki L1, Meta Ray-ban Gen 2) and planned a full-auto session aiming to empty the 1500-round magazine on a boat load of water filled cans. Unfortunately, the magazine’s feed malfunctioned, preventing the gun from firing as intended. Even so, I pivoted, swapping in an AR-15 magazine and still managed to get some satisfying shots on target. at the end of the video

It’s all part of the process: sometimes you get a lemon, but that doesn’t mean the day is totally lost. We did confirm that the gun itself works very well, and I hope to be revisiting this test with a new 1500 round magazine to give it a proper go. For now, at least we got a bit of action on those water-filled cans. Stay tuned for a follow-up, because I’m determined to show this LMG at its full potential!

The support weapon role in airsoft has always had a certain appeal, and the Specna Arms SA-F249 definitely delivers that intimidating LMG presence right out of the box. This massive AEG support rifle is styled after the legendary FN M249 platform and brings together high-capacity firepower, aggressive looks, and surprisingly good value for players wanting something beyond the typical AR-style airsoft rifle.

At first glance, the SA-F249 looks huge, but despite its size, it’s actually lighter than expected thanks to its reinforced polymer construction. Even so, it still feels substantial in the hands and gives off that true support weapon vibe the moment you shoulder it.

The version reviewed here comes equipped with the GATE X-ASR MOSFET system, a 1500-round auto-feeding electric box magazine, quick spring change capability, adjustable stock, integrated bipod, and multiple Picatinny rail sections for optics and accessories.

First Impressions

One of the first things noticed during the review was how different some components appeared compared to other online reviews. Some reviewers mentioned metal rear stock components while others claimed certain barrel sections were plastic. On this specific version, the rear stock assembly was definitely polymer, while the outer barrel appeared to be metal.

This kind of variation is fairly common with airsoft manufacturers over time as revisions and production updates happen.

Even with the extensive use of polymer, the Specna Arms SA-F249 FN Machine Gun AEG Airsoft Rifle still looks impressive and feels well-balanced considering its overall size. The carry handle, outer barrel, and several internal components are metal, while much of the receiver, stock, and furniture use reinforced polymer to help reduce overall weight.

View fullsize

Electric Auto-Feeding Box Magazine

The standout feature on the SA-F249 is definitely the included 1500-round electric auto-feeding box magazine. This is what transforms the rifle into a true support platform capable of sustained suppressive fire during milsim games or outdoor skirmishes.

The magazine runs on AA batteries and includes three operating modes:

• Off

• Auto

• Sound Control

The “Auto” mode activates the winding mechanism whenever the trigger is pulled, while the “Sound Control” mode intelligently detects pitch changes from the gearbox to determine when BBs stop feeding, automatically rewinding the internal spring system as needed. It’s actually a pretty clever setup and adds a lot to the realism and usability of the rifle.

Another nice touch is that the SA-F249 remains compatible with standard M4-style AEG magazines, allowing emergency reloads if needed.

View fullsize

Build Quality and Construction

The reinforced polymer construction helps keep the SA-F249 from becoming excessively heavy, especially for extended gameplay sessions. While some players may prefer more metal components for realism, there are advantages to quality polymer construction as well.

Polymer can sometimes absorb impacts better than brittle zinc alloy “pot metal” components commonly found in lower-end airsoft guns. The lighter weight may also reduce stress during accidental drops.

That said, there are still some concerns about long-term durability in specific areas, especially considering the rifle’s size and weight. I feel certain parts like the bipod and rear stock would have benefited from additional metal reinforcement.

View fullsize

Quick Spring Change System

The SA-F249 also includes a quick spring change system for easier FPS adjustments. Accessing the spring requires removing the rear stock assembly by pushing out the rear pins.

While the feature itself is excellent, the review sample had extremely tight rear pins that required minor drilling of the polymer mounting holes to improve fitment. Once removed, however, spring access was relatively straightforward.

Field Role and Gameplay Potential

The Specna Arms SA-F249 FN Machine Gun AEG Airsoft Rifle is clearly designed for players wanting to fill a support gunner role. The large magazine capacity, full-auto-only operation, integrated bipod, and intimidating LMG profile make it ideal for suppressive fire and milsim gameplay.

At roughly $400 Canadian, the SA-F249 also offers surprisingly solid value considering what’s included. Many mid-range AR-style AEGs can already approach the $200–$300 range, making the jump to a dedicated support weapon platform more reasonable than some players might expect.

View fullsize

Final Thoughts

The Specna Arms SA-F249 Machine Gun AEG is a very cool support weapon platform that delivers a strong mix of realism, functionality, and affordability. It may not be perfect, and some players will likely wish for more metal construction, but overall it offers excellent value for anyone wanting to step into the LMG support role without spending a fortune.

The 1500-round auto-feeding system alone will make this thing a blast to use, and combined with the MOSFET, quick spring change system, adjustable stock, and M4 magazine compatibility, the SA-F249 brings a lot to the table for milsim and support gun enthusiasts alike.

A full field test shooting review should be especially interesting with this one.

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 review, we are looking at two crossbows that honestly shouldn’t really be compared, but that’s exactly why this comparison is interesting. On one end, we have the Steambow M10, a compact, magazine-fed, fast-shooting crossbow built for fun, training, and high repetition shooting. On the other, the CenterPoint AT400, a full-size, high-powered compound crossbow designed for serious hunting applications.

Aside from both launching bolts/arrows, these two platforms sit at completely opposite ends of the spectrum. The goal here is not to declare a winner, but to help you decide which one actually fits your use case, or if you might want both.

Key Differences Overview:

Steambow M10

The Steambow M10 is a compact repeating crossbow designed more for fun, training, and high-volume shooting. It uses a magazine-fed system that can hold 10 bolts, allowing for very fast follow-up shots. Depending on the limb setup, it can reach speeds of up to around 200 FPS and produce approximately 10 to 15 foot-pounds of energy. Its lighter draw weight options and easy cocking system make it beginner-friendly and much less physically demanding to use. Overall, the M10 is best suited for target shooting, casual use, and potentially small game with the right setup.

CenterPoint AT400

The CenterPoint AT400 is a full-size compound hunting crossbow built for serious power and hunting use. Unlike the M10, it is a single-shot platform that focuses on accuracy, penetration, and range rather than fast repeat shooting. It sends arrows downrange at about 400 FPS and delivers close to 150 foot-pounds of energy, putting it in an entirely different class. With its roughly 200-pound draw weight, it requires much more effort to cock and reload, usually with a rope or crank system. This makes it better suited for medium to large game hunting, where power and shot placement matter far more than speed.

Side-by-Side Summary

If you want something lightweight, compact, fast, and easy to shoot often, the Steambow M10 is the better fit. If your main goal is hunting and you need maximum power, longer range, and serious downrange performance, then the CenterPoint AT400 is clearly the more appropriate choice. Even though both are crossbows, they are built for very different types of users and very different shooting experiences.

Power & Performance

The biggest separation between these two comes down to raw power.

• The Steambow M10 delivers up to about 10–15 foot-pounds of energy, depending on limb configuration and bolt weight. It’s comparable to higher-end airguns or paintball-level power.

• The CenterPoint AT400, by contrast, produces close to 150 foot-pounds of energy and launches arrows at around 400 FPS.

That’s not a small difference, it’s an entirely different category.

Real-world comparison:

• M10 = backyard shooting, small game potential

• AT400 = deer, and potentially even elk with proper shot placement

This is essentially the difference between a BB gun vs a hunting rifle in terms of role and impact.

View fullsize

Shooting Experience:

Steambow M10

• Magazine-fed (10 bolts)

• Extremely fast follow-up shots

• Break-action style cocking (very quick)

• Great for drills, repetition, and skill building

• Minimal effort required

You can realistically fire 10 shots in about 10 seconds, making it a very engaging and fun platform.

CenterPoint AT400

• Single-shot system

• Requires rope cocking or crank system

• Significant physical effort (200 lb draw)

• Slow reload (often 30–60+ seconds)

This is a deliberate shooting experience, not something designed for volume or speed.

Use Case Breakdown:

Steambow M10 – Best For…

• Backyard shooting (with proper backstop)

• Target practice

• Tactical-style drills

• High repetition training

• Casual and frequent use

• Lower-cost shooting (especially with rubber ball version)

View fullsize

You can even use:

• Rubber balls (low cost, reusable)

• Lightweight bolts

• Indoor-friendly setups (with proper safety)

CenterPoint AT400 – Best For…

• Hunting (deer and potentially larger game)

• Long-range accuracy

• Maximum penetration and power

• Purpose-driven shooting

This is not a casual-use product, you typically bring it out when it matters.

Ease of Use & Physical Demand:

Steambow M10

• Very easy to cock (even at lower draw weights)

• Beginner-friendly

• Lightweight (~compact platform)

• Minimal fatigue

View fullsize

CenterPoint AT400

• High effort required

• Needs cocking tools (rope or crank)

• Physically demanding

• Slower workflow between shots

Key takeaway:
Anyone can pick up and use the M10 easily. The AT400 requires more commitment, strength, and practice.

Size & Portability

Steambow M10

• Compact and lightweight

• Can be partially disassembled easily

• Backpack-friendly

• Ideal for mobile use

CenterPoint AT40

• Large, fixed structure

• Not easily transportable without a case

• Designed for field carry, not casual portability

Ammo & Cost of Ownership:

View fullsize

Steambow M10

• Bolts are smaller and cheaper

• Rubber ball version = extremely low cost

• Less wear and tear overall

• High reusability

CenterPoint AT40

• Arrows are larger and more expensive

• More prone to damage/loss at high speeds

• Requires maintenance and replacement over time

Value Consideration:

Interestingly, both fall into a similar price range (~$400–$500), but value depends on usage frequency:

• M10 → Likely used often → Higher practical value

• AT400 → Used less frequently unless hunting regularly

If something sits unused, its value drops regardless of price.

View fullsize

Who Should Buy Each?

Choose the Steambow M10 if you…

• Want fun, fast shooting

• Plan to shoot frequently

• Prefer low effort and ease of use

• Don’t need high power

• Enjoy tactical or training-style shooting

Choose the CenterPoint AT400 if you…

• Are hunting (especially deer or larger game)

• Need high power and penetration

• Value accuracy and range

• Don’t mind slower reload times

• Are comfortable with physical effort

View fullsize

Final Thoughts

These two crossbows are not competitors—they are tools for completely different jobs.

• The Steambow M10 is about frequency, fun, and versatility

• The CenterPoint AT400 is about power, precision, and purpose

If anything, this comparison highlights that you may not need to choose one over the other, you might actually benefit from having both ends of the spectrum covered.

If neither fits perfectly, then the real answer may be to look for something in the middle.

Introduction

The CenterPoint AT400 Composite Tactical Crossbow is not something I review very often. Most of what I normally cover is backyard or basement-friendly, BB guns, pellet guns, airsoft, that kind of thing.

This is completely different.

The CenterPoint AT400 is a serious piece of equipment. This is not for casual plinking. This is designed for hunting and real-world applications, and based on the specs alone, it’s capable of taking small to medium game, potentially even deer.

With 400 FPS and 142 ft-lbs of energy, this is in an entirely different class compared to the compact crossbows I usually review.

Initial Thoughts (Before Shooting)

At the time of this review, I have not shot it yet.

Reason being, this requires a proper archery-rated backstop. This is not something you casually shoot in your backyard without the right setup.

I do have the space, but I would need:

• A proper target

• A safe shooting environment

This is something I plan to revisit once I can set it up properly.

View fullsize

What’s in the Box

• 3x carbon arrows

• Detachable quiver (mounts underneath)

• Crank cocking system

• Manual cocking rope

• String wax

• Allen keys and hardware

• Spare mounting components

Assembly is required, but it’s fairly straightforward:

• Expect about 30–60 minutes

• Mostly attaching the limb and securing hardware

Cocking Methods

This crossbow has a 200 lb draw weight, so you are not pulling this back by hand.

Two Methods:

1. Manual Cocking Rope

• Hooks attach under the string

• Make sure to loop string on rear part of the crossbow

• Foot goes into the stirrup

• Pull using your lower body

• Requires strength, especially in the lower back

2. Crank System

• Mounts into rear slots

• Much easier and controlled

• Recommended if you have any physical limitations

In this table top review, we’re taking a close look at the Air Venturi Annie Oakley Lil’ Sure Shot Spring BB Rifle. While this is technically a “table top” review, lever-action rifles like this are always a bit easier to show off in-hand due to their length and proportions.

This model fits into a long lineage of classic lever-action BB rifles, alongside well-known options like the Daisy Red Ryder and the Marlin variants from Crosman and Umarex. These rifles all share a similar concept, simple, spring-powered, lever-action BB guns designed for training, plinking, and beginner shooters, but each brings its own subtle differences in materials, styling, and features.

Key Specifications

• Model: Air Venturi Annie Oakley Lil’ Sure Shot

• Type: Lever Action Spring Piston BB Rifle

• Caliber: 4.5mm Steel BB

• Power Source: Spring (No CO2 Required)

• Velocity: Up to 350 FPS

• Magazine Capacity: 550 Round Internal Reservoir (Gravity Fed)

• Action: Lever Action

• Safety: Cross Bolt Safety

• Barrel: Smoothbore

• Stock: Stained Solid Wood

• Construction: Primarily Metal with Some Plastic Components

• Weight: Approx. 3.3 lbs

• Overall Length: ~36.25 inches

• Optics Rail: Removable Weaver/Picatinny Style Mount

First Impressions & Build Quality

The Annie Oakley Lil’ Sure Shot stands out with its classic Western styling, enhanced by engraved Annie Oakley branding on the wood stock. It’s a step above many entry-level BB rifles thanks to its real wood stock and metal lever, giving it a more authentic and durable feel compared to fully plastic alternatives.

Most of the rifle is metal and wood, though there are a few plastic components:

• Trigger

• Front sight (on the newer version)

• Adjustable portion of the rear sight

• Removable scope rail

Overall, it feels solid in the hands, lightweight, and well-balanced, especially for younger shooters or anyone new to lever-action rifles.

View fullsize

How It Works

This is a spring-piston, lever-action BB rifle, meaning:

• No CO2 or gas is required

• Each shot is powered by cocking the lever

• BBs are stored in a large internal reservoir

• You must tilt the rifle upward to gravity-feed BBs into position

With a 550-round capacity, you can shoot for quite a while before needing to reload, your arm will likely get tired before you run out of ammo.

Handling & Usability

This rifle is clearly designed with accessibility in mind:

• Lightweight (3.3 lbs) makes it easy to handle

• Shorter length and pull fits smaller shooters well

• Moderate cocking effort is manageable for beginners

• Lever action slows firing rate, adding a safety advantage for new users

Rifles like this are excellent for training because:

• They are easier to aim than pistols

• They encourage controlled shooting

• They are not overly powerful

Even for experienced shooters, these are simply fun and inexpensive for backyard plinking.

Sights & Optics

Out of the box, the Air Venturi Annie Oakley Lil’ Sure Shot Spring BB Rifle includes:

• Fixed front sight (plastic on newer version)

• Adjustable rear sight (elevation only)

One notable feature is the removable Weaver-style rail, allowing you to:

• Mount a red dot or scope

• Or remove it for a more traditional look

Keep in mind the rail is plastic, so care should be taken when mounting optics.

View fullsize

Comparison to Similar BB Rifles

This rifle sits in the same category as:

• Daisy Red Ryder – The original classic

• Umarex Marlin Lever Action – Slightly more adult-oriented design

• Crosman Marlin (older models) – Direct Red Ryder competitor

All of these:

• Use lever-action spring systems

• Have internal BB reservoirs

• Shoot in the ~300–350 FPS range

The Annie Oakley version distinguishes itself with:

• Better visual styling

• Wood and metal construction

• Optional optics mounting

New vs Older Annie Oakley Version (Key Differences)

If you come across different versions, here are the main distinctions:

Newer Version:

• Longer barrel

• Plastic front sight

• Larger loading port (easier to load)

• Metal Lever

• Brighter, more polished wood finish

View fullsize

Older Version:

• Shorter barrel

• Metal front loading system (rotating port)

• Metal front sight (more durable)

• Plastic Lever

• Slightly darker, more matte wood

Both should perform similarly, but the newer version is a bit more refined with that quality all metal lever.

Pros

• Lightweight and easy to handle

• Real wood stock and metal lever construction

• Large 550-round capacity

• No CO2 required (low maintenance and inexpensive to shoot)

• Removable optics rail for flexibility

• Classic Western styling with Annie Oakley branding

• Great for beginners and younger shooters

Cons

• Plastic front sight (new version)

• Lower power compared to CO2 rifles

• Rear sight only adjustable for elevation

• Slightly higher price than some entry-level similar BB rifles

• Less realistic than shell-ejecting lever-action models

Final Thoughts

The Air Venturi Annie Oakley Lil’ Sure Shot is a well-built, visually appealing lever-action BB rifle that blends classic styling with modern usability.

It’s ideal for:

• Beginners and younger shooters

• Backyard plinking

• Anyone wanting a simple, reliable and fun BB rifle

While it doesn’t aim for full realism like higher-end shell-ejecting models, it delivers where it matters, ease of use, affordability, durability, and fun factor.

In this table top review, we take a close look at the Steambow B08 .68 Caliber Tactical Crossbow, a compact and versatile system designed for shooting rubber balls, paintballs, or foam projectiles. This model is particularly suited for controlled environments like indoor ranges (such as a sea can setup or even basement or backyard), thanks to its relatively moderate power and flexible ammunition options.

A full shooting test will follow separately, but for now, let’s break down the specifications, features, and what comes in the box.

Specifications

• Model: Steambow B08

• Caliber: .68 (rubber balls, paintballs, foam balls, etc.)

• System Type: Recurve crossbow

• Draw Weight: 35 lbs (standard included limb)

• Velocity: Up to 260 FPS (manufacturer claim)

• Energy: Approx. 7 ft-lbs (up to ~15 ft-lbs with stronger limbs)

• Magazine Capacity: 8 rounds (removable)

• Weight: Just under 4 lbs

• Length: 24.2 inches

• Width: 3.15 inches (body, excluding limb span)

View fullsize

Key Features

Modular Platform

One of the standout aspects of the B08 is its modular design. The lower receiver is identical to the Steambow M10, meaning you can swap uppers to shoot either:

• .68 caliber balls (B08 upper)

• Crossbow bolts (M10 upper)

This gives users flexibility to adapt the platform for different uses.

Quick Change Limb System

The included 35 lb limb is easy to swap out:

• Secured by a single bolt

• Can be upgraded up to heavier options (up to ~120 lbs available)

• Allows tuning for power vs. ease of cocking

Magazine-Fed Repeater System

• 8-round removable magazine

• Spring-fed system with follower

• Auto-loading mechanism (not semi-auto, but fast cycling)

The system works by “breaking” or pulling back the stock, which:

• Cocks the string

• Loads the next round

• Prepares the trigger

Cocking Mechanism

• Shoulder-supported operation

• Pull stock inward to cock

• Very easy with 35 lb limb

• Allows relatively fast follow-up shots once familiar

Sighting System

• Fiber optic front sight

• Rear alignment via top trough channel

While simple, it works well for close-range shooting. However, the included Picatinny rails (top and bottom) allow for:

• Red dots

• Scopes

• Tactical accessories

Build & Ergonomics

• Polymer lower with reinforced components

• AR-style adjustable stock

• Adjustable cheek rest

• Rubber butt pad

• Included foregrip (user-installed)

Overall, the Steambow B08 .68 Caliber Tactical Crossbow has a solid, lightweight feel while still maintaining good handling characteristics.

What’s Included in the Box

The B08 comes well-packaged with multiple internal boxes and includes:

• Steambow B08 main unit

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.

Today’s unboxing, we’ll call it the March 2026 Unboxing Preview!

I had no idea what was in this box, and honestly, I like it that way. It makes every delivery feel a bit like Christmas. A box shows up from the warehouse, I crack it open, and my job is to let you know what’s inside and what might be coming soon to the store. A lot of the time these are products we’ve never carried before. Not always, but usually there’s at least something new or unexpected in the mix.

As usual, getting into the box was its own little challenge. Good thing I had my “box cutter “ handy. Once I finally got through the packaging, it was clear right away this one had some interesting stuff inside.

What was in the box?

View fullsize

1) Annie Oakley Lil’ Sure Shot BB Rifle

First out of the box was something a little different: the Annie Oakley Lil’ Sure Shot.

This one is brought to you by Air Venturi / Western Justice, and it’s essentially a Red Ryder-style lever action BB rifle with some nice Western-themed touches. Right away, it stood out with the stained solid wood stock, wood forearm with engraving, and engraved Annie Oakley artwork.

Here are some of the listed specs and features:

• Ammo: .177 caliber / 4.5mm steel BBs

• Action: Lever cocking, spring piston

• Barrel: Smoothbore

• Overall Length: 36.25 inches

• Capacity: 550 BBs

• Claimed Velocity: Up to 350 FPS

• Weight: 3.3 pounds

• Max Shooting Distance: 212 yards

Once I opened it up, it definitely gave me that familiar Red Ryder / Marlin Cowboy vibe, but it feels like it may be just a bit bigger overall. Maybe a slightly longer stock, maybe just a bit more substantial in the hands. I’ll have to compare it side-by-side with a Red Ryder later to know for sure.

A few things I noticed right away:

• It has a metal lever

• Metal frame

• Metal barrel

• A plastic muzzle tip

• A rear sight that appears adjustable

• And surprisingly, a Weaver-style rail on top for mounting an optic

That top rail is actually a nice touch. You could absolutely throw a small scope on this if you wanted to, and why not? It makes for a fun little plinker, and the engraving gives it some real visual appeal too.

I’ve always had a soft spot for these little lever-action BB rifles. They’re just fun. They’re simple, classic, and a great way to introduce younger shooters to safe rifle handling. Rifles like this tend to be a bit easier for beginners since they’re not as quick to wave around as a pistol.

So yes, this one looks like it should be a lot of fun, and I’ll be doing both a Tabletop Review and a Field Test Shooting Review on it soon.

View fullsize

2) .68 Caliber Nylon Balls (100 Count)

Also in the box was a pack of 100-count .68 caliber nylon balls.

These feel noticeably heavier than the rounds I was using in my earlier T4E TC68 review. The previous ones were around the 2.8 to almost 3 gram range, and these new ones feel more like they’re getting up into the high 3 gram to 4 gram area.

That added weight could make them especially interesting to test in the TC68, since more projectile mass can sometimes translate into more energy on target, even if velocity comes down a bit.

So these should be fun to test out, and as it turns out, they may have arrived for a very good reason…

3) Steambow B08 / .68 Caliber Rubber Ball Crossbow Platform

This was the big surprise in the box, and definitely the highlight item.

If you watched my SHOT Show coverage, then you may remember this one from the Steambow booth. It’s a really cool product: basically a magazine-fed rubber ball shooting crossbow-style launcher in .68 caliber.

I had already gotten a chance to try it at SHOT Show, and Steambow was great about letting us check it out there. So it was pretty exciting to see one show up here for review.

Some of the box highlights:

• Detachable magazine

• 8-shot capacity

• .68 caliber projectiles

• Includes 25 foam balls

• Comes with a 35-pound limb

• AR-style adjustable buttstock

• Protective shooting glasses included

This product has a lot going on in the box. Once I opened it up, there were multiple components and accessories packed inside, including:

• Main body / receiver section

• Foregrip

• AR-style buttstock

• Upper receiver section with included magazine

• 35-pound limb

• Bow string and related accessories

• Lubricant / wax for the string

• Mounting hardware and tools

• Protective glasses

• 25 included foam balls

There’s definitely going to be some assembly involved before I can do a full review, so that will be part of the tabletop video.

The main unit itself feels solid and substantial. It has some good weight to it, and overall it looks like a very cool design. The included 35-pound limb should offer a decent balance between usability and performance. At SHOT Show we were only using a lighter 25-pound setup, which was very easy to draw, great for casual target practice, but obviously not the high-performance option.

One of the things I like about this platform is that it gives you that crossbow-style shooting experience while using reusable .68 caliber balls. That can make it easier and cheaper to shoot compared to bolt-style systems, where each arrow or bolt can get expensive fast, especially if you miss the target and damage one.

And since I now also have those heavier nylon .68 caliber rounds from the same box, I should be able to test both the included foam balls and the heavier options to see how they compare.

This one should make for a very interesting review.

Final Thoughts

So that was the March 2026 mystery box. We’ve got two very different products here:

• The Annie Oakley Lil’ Sure Shot, which looks like a fun, classic lever-action BB rifle in the Red Ryder tradition

• And the Steambow B08 / .68 Caliber Rubber Ball Crossbow Platform, which is something a little more modern, tactical, and definitely unique

Both of these are getting the full treatment, so expect Tabletop Review and Field Test Shooting Review videos for both products.

The Annie Oakley should be a blast to shoot, especially if it performs anything like the other Red Ryder-style guns I’ve reviewed over the years. And the Steambow system looks like it could be a really practical and fun way to enjoy crossbow-style shooting without the cost and fragility of traditional bolts.

I’ve still got a few earlier products to finish up as well, but I’ll be getting to these as quickly as I can.

In this Field Test Shooting Review I’m taking a look at the Umarex T4E TC68 .68 caliber paintball / less-lethal marker to see how it performs in terms of velocity, accuracy, and overall shooting experience.

I have already done a Table Top Review covering the specifications, features, and overall purpose of the TC68, so make sure to check that video out if you want the full breakdown of the gun itself. This field test review is focused strictly on real-world performance.

For this test the TC68 has been de-restricted, meaning the adjustment screw has been modified slightly so it can reach its full potential. Even with this adjustment it should still remain legally compliant here in Canada, since the velocity will remain under the 500 fps threshold.

For ammunition I used .68 caliber nylon rounds:

• Black rounds: approximately 2.8 grams

• Yellow rounds: approximately 2.6 grams

The TC68 in this test is powered using dual 12-gram CO2 cartridges, rather than the larger 88-gram CO2 cylinder, which will affect both shot consistency and total shot count.

View fullsize

Velocity Testing

For the velocity portion of the test I fired several shots through my chronograph.

Chronograph readings were somewhat tricky to capture at first, but once everything started working correctly I was able to record several shots.

Example readings included:

• 476 fps

• 463 fps

• 453 fps

• 445 fps

The velocity dropped slightly during the test, which is expected when using dual 12-gram CO2 cartridges, as they cool down fairly quickly during rapid shooting.

The slightly heavier 2.8-gram black rounds were also used for some of the shots, which can contribute to minor changes in velocity compared to the lighter 2.6-gram rounds.

Even with that drop, performance was still strong and suggests the TC68 could likely reach high-400 fps velocities with a fresh CO2 setup or an 88-gram CO2 cylinder, which provides much greater gas capacity and improved consistency.

View fullsize

Accuracy Testing

For the accuracy portion of the test I set up a paper target down range and loaded roughly 20 rounds into the magazine.

The first test consisted of 10 shots in semi-automatic mode using the heavier black nylon rounds. A red-dot optic was installed on the TC68 for aiming, though it had not been sighted in or adjusted beforehand.

Results were quite respectable for a marker shooting heavy .68 caliber rounds.

• Overall grouping was approximately 4 inches

• Most shots landed within a 2.5–3 inch cluster

• One shot landed slightly low outside the main group

Considering the optic was not adjusted and this was essentially a right-out-of-the-box test, the accuracy was quite good.

Full-Auto Shooting Test

After the semi-auto accuracy test I attempted a full-auto burst test, but quickly discovered the CO2 had been depleted.

After installing fresh CO2 cartridges, the full-auto test was repeated with approximately 20 rounds loaded.

The TC68 does not have an extremely fast rate of fire, but it still delivers a solid stream of rounds when the trigger is held down.

View fullsize

During full-auto fire:

• The gun remained fairly controllable

• Rate of fire was moderate but effective

• CO2 cooling became noticeable during sustained bursts

A fresh target confirmed that the TC68 was still accurate enough for defensive-style shooting, keeping the majority of rounds within the main target area even during burst fire.

Power and Energy

Using approximately 2.8-gram nylon rounds traveling around 475 fps, the TC68 is producing significantly more energy than its factory-rated 16-joule output. Closer to 30 joules!

The modification performed simply allows the power adjustment screw to reach its full depth, allowing the marker to operate closer to its maximum potential.

While exact energy figures will depend on projectile weight and velocity, the TC68 in this configuration appears capable of producing considerably higher energy levels than stock, while still remaining under the 500 fps legal limit in Canada.

Shooting Impressions

Overall the Umarex T4E TC68 proved to be a solid and reliable platform during testing.

Some observations from the field test:

What I liked

• Strong velocity potential

• Good accuracy for a .68 caliber marker

• Full-auto capability for rapid follow-up shots

• Compatible with multiple CO2 power options

Things to consider

• Dual 12-gram CO2 cartridges cool down quickly

• Larger 88-gram CO2 cylinders will provide better consistency

• The gun includes multiple safety mechanisms that require familiarity

The TC68 includes three levels of safety, which helps prevent accidental discharge but does require some practice to become comfortable with the controls.

Final Thoughts

The Umarex T4E TC68 performed well in this field test.

Velocity was strong, accuracy was respectable for a .68 caliber marker, and the full-auto capability adds an interesting dimension to the platform.

With proper setup and a fresh CO2 source, the TC68 has the potential to deliver high-energy shots while still remaining within Canadian legal limits.

Overall it’s a very capable paintball / less-lethal marker and definitely an interesting option for those looking for a high-power .68 caliber platform.

Trigger Pull
The TC68 uses a semi-auto style trigger that feels closer to a single-action pull (it needs to work this way to support full-auto). The break is straightforward and predictable, and it suits the “training marker / utility” role well.

Accuracy

This table top review is focused on features, build, and usability. Accuracy testing and chronograph results are better handled in a field test once ammo weight is confirmed (rubber vs. paintball vs. hard plastic rounds will all change results). Initial “gut feel” shooting suggests the factory setting is already pushing hard for a training marker, with performance feeling consistent with the advertised 16J class.

Build Quality

The TC68 is largely polymer on the outside, but it doesn’t feel like a toy. The weight is substantial, controls feel solid, and the overall package is clearly built for training and repeated handling. You’re getting a robust platform designed to run multiple air sources and a wide range of .68 caliber projectiles without needing a bunch of aftermarket parts just to get started.

Realism / Ergonomics / Controls

Visually and ergonomically the TC68 leans into an AR-style layout:

• AR-style grip geometry (and AR-compatible grip fitment style)

• Full-length Picatinny top rail

• M-LOK on the handguard (sides and bottom) for lights, foregrips, etc.

• Ambidextrous selector (Safe / Semi / Full)

• Ambidextrous magazine release

It does not have real-steel operating controls like a charging handle or functional bolt/dust cover, this is a marker, not a firearm replica mechanism, but from a distance it reads like a modern sporting rifle pattern, which matters for training applications and general “presence.”

Safety systems are layered:

1. A “quick pierce / activation” setup (pressurizes the marker only when you choose)

2. A cross-bolt style safety that controls readiness to fire and can also depressurize when switched back (you’ll hear it vent)

3. Standard safe selector switch position

Air Source Flexibility (CO2 + HPA) and Included Hardware

This is one of the biggest selling points: it ships with a lot of the “bits and pieces” that usually cost extra.

You can run:

• Dual 12g CO2 (the configuration shown in the review)

• 88g CO2 (full-length stock configuration)

• HPA via included adapter (plus an alternate stock option that works well with compact tanks)

The included quick-pierce style setup is practical: you can stage the marker with CO2 installed without continuously bleeding gas, then activate it only when needed.

View fullsize

Feeding Options: Magazine-Fed or Hopper-Fed

Out of the box you get:

• A 20-round spring-assisted magazine designed to load easily (the spring can be held back during loading, then feeds when inserted)

• A hopper adapter system (hopper not included, but the adapter is), letting you run higher-capacity paintball-style feeding for volume use, especially relevant if you pair HPA + full auto

The magazine also supports First Strike–style shaped rounds (magazine-fed only), expanding the use-case options for training and scenario work.

Sights / Optics

No sights are included, no irons, no basics, nothing. That’s the odd omission on an otherwise “complete” kit. Plan on adding:

• a red dot (often easiest), and/or

• irons that sit higher, or a riser setup, depending on your preferred cheek weld and optic height.

Pros

• Multiple air source support (2x12g CO2, 88g CO2, or HPA via included adapters/stocks)

• Quick-pierce / staged-gas concept is practical for readiness without constant leaking

• Semi-auto and full-auto capability

• Adjustable power/velocity range to suit different training and ammo types

• Magazine-fed or hopper-fed flexibility (adapter included)

• Accepts First Strike–style shaped rounds (magazine)

• AR-style ergonomics and lots of accessory mounting (Picatinny + M-LOK)

• Strong “presence” and serious performance feel for a .68 platform

• In Canada especially, it fills a niche many users are actively looking for (training/marker/home safety versatility)

Cons

• Pricey in Canada (around the ~$600 CAD range at the time of the review)

• No sights included (you must budget for at least basic aiming equipment)

• Maximum performance potential may be restricted by factory tamper measures and local rules (and you should not assume higher settings are legal where you live)

Comments

If you want a .68 caliber platform that can legitimately be configured for multiple roles, paintball, training, scenario use, home safety use, the Umarex T4E TC68 stands out because it’s versatile right out of the box. The “complete kit” nature (CO2/HPA readiness + mag and hopper options) is rare at this price point.

The Umarex T4E TC68 is in probably one of the most powerful “Rubber Ball”Airguns you can get here in Canada right now with the ability to even turn it up a notch (at your own discretion). With Canadian legal gun owners losing their rights to own regulated Firearms more and more each day, being able to acquire something that is not regulated may be the best option for non-Firearms Licensed holders and Firearms Licensed holders.

Field test follow-up (chronograph + practical shooting) will matter a lot with this one, because performance varies dramatically with projectile type and weight. That’s where it will be most interesting to quantify real fps and estimated energy across a couple common round types.

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.

We stopped by the SABRE booth and spoke with Ashley about their Home Defense Pepper Launcher, specifically a second-generation version that (per Ashley) isn’t released yet. With less-lethal options getting more attention in Canada, I wanted to see what’s new, what specs we’re looking at, and whether it’s something we might be able to bring in for reviews and potential store availability.

What’s new with the Gen 2 (as described in the interview)

• “Quick Pierce” magazine system: Ashley demonstrated a faster “pierce and go” style setup, hit the control and you’re ready to aim.

• Pressure indicator: After piercing, an indicator pops out; as CO2 is depleted it retracts, giving you a visual cue that pressure is running out.

• CO2 release button: A control to vent the CO2, then remove the magazine.

Core platform details (current production specs for the .68 launcher family)

These are the commonly listed specs for the current .68 caliber SABRE launcher:

• .68 caliber projectiles

• 7-projectile magazine capacity

• Fiber optic sights (front/rear adjustable)

• Stated velocity up to ~350 FPS

• Range: direct impact effectiveness noted around 60 ft (18 m), with projectiles described as breaking/dispersion capability out to 175 ft (53 m)

Ashley also noted SABRE’s projectiles have a heavier payload than some competitors (in her words) to help with “strength” and accuracy.

Magazines, CO2, and shot count (from the interview)

• CO2 goes into the magazine

• 7 projectiles per magazine

• Two magazines per CO2 (so 14 shots)

Canada angle (what matters for importing)

• Ashley noted the current model is around ~20 joules, and said a Canadian version would likely need to be lower(depending on classification/import requirements).

• SABRE’s own online store states they do not ship internationally, including Canada (so any Canada availability would likely be via distribution/import channels rather than direct-to-consumer shipment).

If we can make the Canada piece work, this looks like a strong candidate for a hands-on review, especially because it’s .68 caliber, 7-round, and built around visibility (fiber optics) and ease of use.

We didn’t catch this one at the Steambow booth, we were out at the SHOT Show indoor range checking out Steambow again, Tyler walked us through their brand-new-for-2026 B08: a magazine-fed .68 caliber ball launcher/crossbow that’s just starting to hit availability.

• New B08 .68 cal “ball launcher” platform (2026): This is a .68 caliber system designed to run .68 spherical projectiles (paint, foam/nylon, and pepper/irritant-type balls were all discussed as compatible options, depending on local rules).

• 8-shot, removable, pre-loadable magazine: The B08 uses a spring-fed 8-round magazine that inserts at the front. Tyler’s demo made it clear you can pre-load multiple mags and keep shooting quickly.

• Simple, repeatable action (easy to learn fast): The manual of arms is very “repeat-and-go”: load the mag, cock it, shoot, then cycle and repeat. Steambow describes the system as their familiar AR-Series quick-tilt/quick-clamp style for fast reloading.

• Ships mild, but can be upgraded for more power: The one I tested was using a 35 lb limb, but it’s built to accept other AR-Series limbs (stronger options sold separately). Tyler specifically said swapping to a much heavier limb can turn it into a high-velocity setup (he referenced up to a 150 lb limb and around 300 fps in his talk).

• Projectile flexibility is the whole point: If you already have .68 cal paintballs or similar at home, that’s the target “ecosystem” this is built around (so long as they’re spherical).

• Important safety + legal reality check: Steambow is very explicit that once you move beyond the “low power + soft balls” envelope, the B08 can become very dangerous, they warn that harder/heavier projectiles (including steel balls) raise risks like severe injury/lethality and ricochets, and that irritant/pepper-type rounds may be legally restricted depending on country.

Tyler’s range demo made the main selling points obvious: magazine speed, easy operation, and a huge range of .68 ball options. If we can get it lined up for Canada, it looks like a very versatile multi use platform, especially for anyone who wants .68 cal fun adn then some, without relying on CO2 or HPA.

We stopped by KWA at SHOT Show 2026 and I caught up with Jonathan to check out one of their hottest new releases for 2026: a licensed Kel-Tec Sub 2000 Replica coming in both Airsoft and BB Airgun variants, with blowback-style fun and that signature folding design.

• EMG x KWA Licensed Kel-Tec Sub 2000 (folding rifle)

  • Variants: Airsoft + Airgun/BB version (already confirmed)

  • Magazine: Uses ATT/ATP GT mags

  • Gas options: Green Gas model shown, with CO2 magazines also planned/available

  • Fire modes: Semi + full auto

  • Controls/rails: Ambidextrous charging handle, M-LOK side rail, Picatinny top + bottom

  • Capacity: ~35 rounds (with potential for slightly higher capacity on the BB version)

  • Timing: Announced at the show; expected late Q2 to early Q3 shipping window

This one looks like a perfect fit for anyone into compact, foldable PCC-style Replicas, especially if you want that “Kel-Tec vibe” with modern rails and full-auto capability.

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.
