Before I get into this Field Test Video Review for the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol, make sure to watch my Table Top Video for it if you want information like Specifications and Details along with some more closer up video of it. The Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol for some people will be a pretty entry level BB Pistol many might overlook but if you are simply looking for a Beretta 92 based Airsoft Pistol that is relatively inexpensive to buy and cheap to shoot. And if you don’t need quick semi auto shooting or anything ultra realistic, then the this Spring Airsoft Pistol could be an option for you.
In this video I test out the velocity, accuracy and I basic operation, so let’s get started with the velocity or fps portion of the testing. I loaded up the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol with a full 12 rounds of .12 gram Airsoft BB’s in the drop out magazine. I shot 5 rounds through my Chronograph hitting the following fps: 285, 288, 289, 292, 289, which averaged 289 fps. Umarex claims a velocity of up to 260 fps which I shot a bit over, but if you do plan on using more standard heavier .20 gram Airsoft BB’s, that numbers going to drop a bit perhaps in the mid or lower 200’s.
I then placed a brand new paper target on my backstop 30 feet down range and proceeded to shoot a full 12 round magazine into it using a semi rested shooting position, hands rested on a sand bag up front and sitting on a stool in the back. This generally gives me good stability while performing these field tests but there is always some human factor to take into consideration. I did not get a super impressive grouping, the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol likes to fling Airsoft BB’s around a bit resulting in around a 7 inch grouping. You can see the BB’s curl as they fly through the air. Using heavier Airsoft BB’s should help tighten up the grouping somewhat, but for all intents and purposes I did get all the shots onto my paper target which would represent a person’s mid section well. So if you were using this simple Airsoft Pistol for some fun war games with your friends, you would be able to hit a person easily from closer in ranges.
The Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol is really made for having some fun close range war games with your friends or even shooting pop cans I would say within 20 feet or so. It works pretty good overall with consistent velocity and predictable accuracy even if it is not super accurate. The fact that it is a clear gun makes it a lot less intimidating and for those with parents sitting on the fence about allowing their kids to get an Airsoft Gun, this one may nudge them into the more willing category. So it may come down to the simple fact that you can get this gun or no gun, if your parents are the limiting factor?
Trigger Pull: The single action only trigger pull on the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol is actually pretty decent as all the work is mainly done cocking the hammer when you pull back the slide to preload the internal spring piston. There is about a half inch of take-up and then another quarter inch before you feel some tension on the trigger, and then about another quarter inch of pull where you can feel the pressure of the release. I would say overall it the weight is on the lighter side but the actual full length is long for a single action only trigger. There is no double action trigger so if you decock the hammer you can not shoot until the hammer has been cocked again.
Accuracy: I did quickly load up a 12 round magazine of Airsoft BB’s and give the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol a bit of a whirl to see what it shot and felt like. Airsoft BB’s did seem to get to the target fairly quickly, I did notice a few of them curve just a bit but they did all hit my paper target close to where I was aiming from 30 feet away. We will see how it shoots when I do make my Field Test Shooting Video for it down the road. I would say the 260 fps claimed velocity looks to be about right but again may actual Chronograph test will tell the true story.
Build Quality: The Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol is an almost all clear plastic built Airsfot Pistol with some scattered metal parts, like the the inner barrel, some springs and screws, and a chunk of metal in the magazine to give it some extra weight and balance. That said the actual fit and finish are good and it should hold up OK since an Airgun this light when dropped has very little mass which can protect it from damage in a fall or drop.
Realism: Again, being a mostly clear plastic Airsoft Pistol with an orange tip, makes this not so real looking as a Replica Airgun, but that is kind of the point here. It is realistic in terms of shape and design to that of a Beretta Mod. 92 FS but that’s about it, the weight is only about a quarter of the real steel version. The Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol is made as perhaps a first time Airsoft Pistol for a younger shooter that may have parents that don’t want them getting anything too realistic looking and potentially getting into trouble with it.
Pros:
Fairly low cost and comes with 500 Airsoft BB’s to get you shooting right away.
Full size drop size weighted magazine is nice.
All the parts feel pretty tight, does not feel overly cheap, has some metal parts where they are needed, barrel, springs, weigght in magazine.
Red dot on front sights helps with target acquisition.
No CO2 required, just your Airsoft BB’s.
Beretta licensing via Umarex.
Slide operates as it is required to cock the spring piston.
Hammer is actually operational, can be decocted.
Makes a good beginner pistol for someone getting into the hobby that may not want a gun that looks super realistic.
Not super realistic being clear and having a red tip, so parents may be more open to buying and using for younger shooters.
Cons:
It is on the light weight side.
Does have an orange tip.
Being a clear gun obviously takes away from the realism but that is the point of this gun so as not be confused with a real gun.
Loading is a bit finicky.
Comments:
There is a place for an Airsoft Pistol just like this. Something not too realistic but close enough to give a newer shooter an idea of what it might feel like to shoot a gun like this. The price of the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol is reasonable to purchase and the cost to shoot it is low as you already have a bunch of Airsoft BB’s included, so you can get to blasting cans right away. The fact that you have to rack the slide with each shot means it will take a while to get through the initial 500 rounds that come with it, so again there is some cost saving with a setup like this. I think it makes an ideal first target Airsoft Pistol for younger shooters with concerned parents that may just get them into the hobby.
Type:Airsoft AEG Rifle. Manufacturer: Specna Arms. Model: SA-FX02 FLEX. Materials: Reinforced Polymer, Zinc Alloy, and Steel Construction. Weight: 4.7 pounds (2.1 kg). Total Length: 30-33 inches (76-84cm). Barrel Length: 12.5 inches (32cm). Barrel: Metal non-rifled. Propulsion: AEG. Action: Semi and full auto single action only programable trigger. Hop-up: Rotary adjustable hop-up via ejection port. Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 270 round full size drop out 9mm style plastic magazine. FPS: 350-370.
Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle is typical of most AEG Airsfot rifles as it is essentially an off trigger that completes a circuit that signals the controller to use what every trigger programming has been setup by the user. What is unique with the Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifles is the ability for the user to fully program the trigger with various semi and full auto setting, along with an adjustable trigger point and even a pre-cocking adjustment. Specna Arms does give you a plastic card that has all the setting listed to make programing easier.
Accuracy: I have not shot the Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle or tested it out so far here in the Sea Can indoor shooting range, so I have no real idea in terms of accuracy or if it is close to the claimed 360 ish fps. I will be making a full dedicated Field Test Shooting Video for it shortly as soon as I am able to. This AEG Airsoft Rifle is specifically made for even advanced shooters so I would expect it to perform very well. Stay posted for that upcoming Field Test Shooting Video.
Build Quality: The Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle is made to be a light weight and easy to cary Airsoft Rifle that will not break the bank, but still includes a lot of higher grade materials and parts internally like a Metal V2 Gearbox and MOSFET ETU. The outer skin is mostly plastic but it is fiber reenforced for added durability. You do get a 6.03mm precision inner barrel for increased accuracy along with other metal parts like the Picatinny Rails, Charging Handle, Bolt Release, Flash Hider, Assorted Pins, Rings and Screws.
Realism: The Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle is built around an AR-15 (AR-9) based submachine gun (SMG). It is not built as a replica of any specific real steel model, but in terms of size and controls it operates much the same. It is lighter weight since the outer construction incorporates a lot of plastic but it still comes in at a decent weight for an SMG Airsoft Rifle.
Pros:
Affordable yet very high quality product for what you pay. Perfect for all types shooters.
Quality components throughout.
Customizable trigger settings for sensitivity and shooting modes.
Lots of color choices.
6 position rear stock.
ESA™ quick spring change system makes spring changes quick and easy.
Comes with two springs for potential indoor and outdoor usage.
Plastic parts are fiberglass reenforced making them very durable.
Quick release fully adjustable pop-up sights.
No orange tips on our Canada Store versions.
Lots of rial mounting options Picatinny rails top sides and bottom with M-LOCK.
Metal V2 Gearboxes with metal gears and mostly all metal parts inside.
Easy access to motor for any possible trouble shooting you may need to do.
Cons:
Lots of plastic on this Airsoft Rifle makes it a bit light weight.
Will need your own battery and charger setup.
You will need a very compact battery setup with most Specna Arms models
Comments:
The Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle is specially built for beginners and more advanced users. How can this be? Well it is priced so someone getting into the hobby can afford it and see if this is something they might be interested in pursuing. Often times a first Airsoft Gun when priced lower is going to have a lot of compromises that can affect performance and use. With the Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle, this is not the case. So why would a more advanced user want something like this? Maybe they have already invested a ton of money into their primary weapon, but want something a bit different, or even something they can beat up a bit and not feel bad about it. But they still want an Airsoft Rifle that performs. Well the Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle kinda checks all those boxes. I hope I don’t eat my words when I make my Field Test Shooting Video so don’t let me down Specna Arms…
In this Field Test Shooting Video Review I test out the KJWorks M9A1 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol to find out what to expect in terms of velocity in fps, and accuracy shooting at a paper target setup 30 feet away. I have already made my Table Top review for this KJWorks Full Blowback Airsoft Pistol, so if you are interested in finding out the details specifications along with some nice 4k close up video, then make sure to watch my KJWorks M9A1 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review located here.
As always, I install a brand new 12 gram CO2 cartridge and place five rounds through my chronograph using .20 gram Airstot BB’ s and average them out to see what the actual velocity is. I was able to achieve a five shot average of 349 fps. Consistency between each shot was very good, here are the actual velocities for all five shots: 348, 344, 346, 356, 351 fps. The temperate in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Shooting Range was right around 20 degrees Celsius or 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind the KJWorks M9A1 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol does come with a barrel extension that when installed will increase the velocity to some degree but I did not test with it as most people will not use it anyway.
Moving on to the accuracy portion of the Field Test Shooting Video, I carefully placed 10 shots on a fresh paper target setup 30 feet away. My shooting position was fairly stable with me sitting on a stool in the back with my hands resting on a sand bag up front. this is not perfect, but it does give us a good idea of what we can expect in general. Seven of the ten shots all placed around 1.5 inches apart near the top of the target and slightly to the left with two shots shooting a little bit lower extending the grouping to about 2.5 inches. I did have one flyer come out of the tighter grouping even lower and to the left that did extend the grouping to about 4 inches in total. The KJWorks M9A1 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol does not have adjustable sights but you could dial in the hop-up to perhaps lower or higher the shot placement depending on your shooting distance.
In terms of my shooting experience for the KJWorks M9A1 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol, it shot as expected with no issues and the blowback action is super snappy with a lot of simulated recoil feel to it. The single action trigger is not super light but light enough for sure to get well placed shots or faster paced action shots. Some Airguns just make you smile a little bit when you shoot them, and this one of those Airsoft guns. It does come in different color schemes, but I do like the tan version I was testing out in this video. If you are looking for a fairly classic Beretta M9A1 that is not too moderned out, then this version would be a good choice.
Type: Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol. Manufacturer: Distributed by KJ Works. Model:M9A1 TBC. Materials: Mostly all Metal. Weight: 2.1 pounds (926 grams). Total Length: 9.25 inches (23.5cm) Barrel: 4 inches (10.2cm) metal non-rifled. Propulsion: CO2 x 1. Action: Semi auto blowback, SA & DA trigger. Ammunition Type: .6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s. Ammunition Capacity: 24 round drop out full size metal magazine. FPS: Claimed 360+.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the KJWorks M9A1 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is single and double action. When the hammer is back and it is in singe action, the trigger is short and light with about a quarter inch take-up before the release which is crisp and fairly light. You can decock the hammer and shoot in double action which does make the trigger pull much longer and a bit heavier but it is still very usable. There is also a semi cock-option where the hammer is partially cocked. This keeps the hammer off the firing pin and allows for a safer double action trigger pull.
Accuracy: So far I have not shot the KJWorks M9A1 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol or made my Field Test Shooting Video. I have shot lots of KJWorks Full Blowback Airsoft Pistols in the past and they have in general performed as expected. So I am confident when I get to the Field Test Shooting Video for the KJWorks M9A1 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol, it should perform well for me!
Build Quality: The KJWorks line of Airsoft Guns are known for their excellent build quality, the KJWorks M9A1 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is another example of a well made Airsoft Pistol with lots of metal parts including the slide, frame, inner and outer barrel, magazine, trigger, safety, slide catch release, take down lever and magazine release. The only real plastic I can see is the grips, butt plate, and CO2 gas nozzle. Fit and finish is really good. There is just a little bit of slide wiggle, but all the mechanical parts work well.
Realism: Most Full Blowback Airsoft Pistols are built to be as close to a real steel pistol as possible with similar dimensions, weight and feel. The blowback action gives a Blowback Airsoft Pistol the required slide action to allow for chambering of an Airsoft BB along with the reseting of the hammer, so true single action shooting is possible. Other than shooting a real steel Beretta M9A1, the KJWorks M9A1 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is as close as you can get to it. Holding this pistol in your hand, it would be hard to tell it is not the real deal.
Pros:
Pretty much all metal pistols 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)
Comes with threaded outer barrel for adding a compensator or mock suppressor.
Comes with barrel extension for higher velocity shooting.
Easy to add accessories to under barrel picatinny rail.
White dot sights front and back.
Ambidextrous safeties.
Two toned tan and black finish looks good.
Field strip-able.
Cons:
Sight are non-adjustable.
Grips may be a bit wide for some small handed people.
Extended magazine makes it a bit bulkier.
You need an Allan key to adjust the Hop-up.
Comments:
The Beretta M9 is a classic Semi Auto Pistol that has been used in military and police for decades and has proven itself over time. I would say it is right up there with the classic 1911 as being recognized as a dependable and solid semi auto pistol. I still kind of prefer the 1911 but I’d take a Beretta M9A1 any day of the week. You really can’t go too wrong with the KJWorks M9A1 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol, it has it all… Almost all metal build, full blowback operation with both single and double action shooting options. You have a picatinny rail for adding accessories and easy to see white dot sights front and back. This is probably one of my favorite Beretta M9’s in terms of looks and features.
This was a really fun Unboxing Video for me as I received something I feel a lot of Canadians might be really interested in protecting yourself in Canada is not a right especially if you use lethal force. So having a less lethal option is a really good idea.
Let’s get into what I found in this most recent Mystery Box in order of appearance…
The first item I unboxed was the KWC SP2022 CO2 NBB 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol. A pretty basic 4.5mm CO2 BB Pistol mostly made out of plastic but with a full size 21 round drop out metal magazine that does help a lot to add some much needed weight to this Airgun. It uses standard 12 gram CO2 with a claimed velocity of 450 fps.
Probably the most exciting item I pulled out of this months Mystery Box was the Gen2 Umarex P2P HDP 50 Rubber Ball purpose built Less-lethal solution for personal and family protection. Most of the similar Rubber ball Less-lethal Airguns I have tested generally do not pack enough punch to really be much of a deterrent in my opinion but the Gen2 Umarex P2P HDP 50 has a claimed 495 fps and when I tested it out after making this video it defiantly has some power. I would not want to be at the receiving end of this product especially in close proximity. The Gen2 Umarex P2P HDP 50 uses a traditional 12 gram CO2 and holds 6 rounds of rubber ball or powder ball, it does come with 10 of each to get you started.
Next I took a look at three KJWORKS Airsoft Pistols all of which came with CO2 Magazines, extension barrels and thread on tips. The KJWORKS KP-19, the KJWORKS M9A1 TBC, and the KJWORKS KP-13 TBC. As expected with KJWORKS Airsoft Guns, they looked really good and will be a joy to review and test out.
Last out of the Mystery Box was a new product from Umarex, a full sized Marlin Cowboy Lever Action BB Rifle in the style of the classic Red Ryder BB Gun but as mentioned in a larger size more suitable for an adult. Hey why do the kids get to have all the fun? The Umarex Marlin BB Rifle holds 650 rounds in its BB hopper and has a claimed fps pf 300. It also has an adjustable for elevation peep sight in the back with a metal lever and a Classic Faux Wood Finish.
This is not exclusive to Airguns since trends of Airguns are highly influenced by what type of Real Steel Pistols are popular to people. This is often based on what people see portrayed in movies and TV Series, and also promoted online. There is for sure an overlap in what is popular and it is hard to say what is influencing what? Is it the popularity of Pistols out in the real world that influences what we see being used in the movies and on TV? Or is it what we see in Movies and TV that influences our choices of pistols out in the real world? Perhaps it is a combination of both?
My list is based on my own personal experience and does not represent the entirety of types of Pistol designs available.
Back in 2017 I made “Which Beretta Airgun is the Best” Video and showed off some 4.5mm Steel BB and .177 Caliber Pellet versions of my favorite Beretta 92 - M9 style Air Pistols. There have been some changes since then most noticeably the addition to Airsoft versions so I thought I would update this video with more current Beretta Airguns along with of course some of the same ones form my last video.
Because I show off 4.5mm Steel BB, .177 Caliber Pellet and 6mm Plastic Airsoft versions I decided to pick my favorites form each category. Watch my Vimeo Review Comparison Video so checkout these Air Pistols and see which ones are my favorites…
.177 Caliber Pellet Beretta 92 -M9 CO2 Air Pistols
In this Vimeo Replica Airguns Update Video I take a look at three CO2 Airguns, one is a 4.5mm Steel BB revolver distributed by Barra and two are CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistols distributed by Umarex. All of these CO2 Airguns I have previously reviewed in slightly different versions either barrel length and finish or Steel BB as compared to 6mm Airsoft So checkout why other reviews on similar version Airguns.
The Barra Barra Schofield CO2 BB Revolver is a replica of the Schofield No. 3 single action revolver and utilizes 6 reloadable shells for a very realistic shooting experience. It is very solid in construction bing made mostly out of metal and weighs in at around 2.4 pounds. This version shots 4.5 mm Steel BBs at a velocity of up to 400 fps. It comes in a variety of barrel lengths and finishes so amen sure to have a look in our Online Replica Airguns Store for what we have available…
Next up from Umarex is the fully licensed Beretta Pietro Mod. 92 A1 CO2 Blowback Semi and Full Auto Airsoft Pistol, this product is distributed by Umarex but is made by KWC. Another solid metal pistol with a hefty 2.4 pound weigth that holds 21 rounds in its full size drop out metal magazine and offers both semi and full auto shooting at the flick of a switch!
Again from Umarex I showcase the Elite Force 1911 Tac CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol and like the Beretta Pietro it too is made in the KWC factory for Umarex. The 1911 Tac as the name suggest is a tactical version of the standard Colt 1911 but with some upgrades like a skeletonized hammer and trigger along with an ambidextrous safety, white dot sights front and back and a picatinny rail on the frame for add ons. You can expect velocity to be somewhere in the 400 fps range and the full size drop out metal magazine holds 15 Airsoft BB’s.
Type: GBB Airsoft Pistol. Manufacturer: WE Airsoft Model:1039 M2 Materials: Mostly all metal build. Weight: 2.43 pounds (1100 grams). Barrel: 4.53 inches, non-rifled. Length: 8.5 inches. Propulsion: Green Gas Action: Semi & full Auto, single and double action trigger. Ammunition Type: 6mm Plastic Airsoft BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 26 round full size dropout metal magazine. FPS: 366+.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is good in both single and double action. Double action as expected has the longer heavier pull but is still smooth and fairly light with a predictable release. Single action shooting has a much shorter trigger pull with a bit of take-up and an even lighter release than in double action shooting mode.
Accuracy: This is one of those times I actually performed my Field Test Portion of my Review first so I do have some feedback in terms of the accuracy and velocity for the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol. WE claims an fps of around 366+ using the extended barrel that comes with it so this is how I tested it. I did use .26 gram airsoft BB’s so the fps was a bit lower but I did get close to 320 fps, So you should expect around a 20% increase in FPS using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s, so closer to 360-380 fps. In terms of accuracy I did notice that the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol shot rather low for me, as much as 8 inches at 30 feet out, perhaps adjustment get hop-up will fix that, at longer ranges it should… That said I found I was able to get around a 1-5.2 inch 10 round grouping at 30 feet out. In terms of full auto, all I can say is don’t expect to hit very much you point at as the gun really likes to rock around!
Build Quality: The WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is a really gorgeous looking pistol and has one of my favorite looking finishes in that stainless steel look. You will find it has an overall solid build quality, it is virtually all metal with only the grips and some internal parts like the gas chamber and nozzle being plastic. There is almost zero slide wiggle and all in all this Airsoft pistol performed great for me with no mechanical problems.
Realism: As is with most Full Blowback Airsoft Pistols they are built to look and act the part of their real steel counterparts and the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is no exception! All mechanical parts work as intended and you can easily field strip the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol to swap out the internal barrel and adjust the hop-up. I like the fact that WE Airsoft color matched the magazine rather than simply shipping it with the black magazine as I have found some other companies do.
Pros:
All metal pistol with good weight to it.
Crisp firm full blowback operation.
Excellent fit and finish.
No markings on the metal parts at all, just the WE branding on the grips.
Color matching magazine.
Gun will accept real Beretta M9 grips.
Semi and full auto selector safety switch.
White dot sights front and back.
Good fps, right around the claimed 366 using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s.
Very believable working replica of the real steel Beretta M9 Pistol.
Fully field strip-able.
Comes with extension barrel and replaceable inner barrel if not going to use extension.
Cons:
No marking on the gun if that is important to you?
Shot rather low in my testing but hop-up and barrel change may fix it.
Almost unusable in Full Auto mode.
The WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is one of the nicer looking Airsoft Beretta M9 pistols on the market and is comparable in quality to other higher end brands like KWA and KJWorks. The price point is also in line with what you are getting. I really like the Stainless - Silver - Chrome finish or what ever you want to call it… One thing I was not able to determine 100% is if this version is in fact the Gen 2 version but I do believe it is given that it has the black gas tube in it. We just don’t have it advertised as such. If you’re in the market for a Beretta style M9 Pistol then consider the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol as a solid choice.
I haven’t reviewed many WE products over the years as they where not part of our inventory in the Replica Airguns Store. The good news is we do carry a selection of their pistols in our Canada Store including the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol I review in this video along with some 1911’s. In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Shooting Range to find out what the real world velocity and accuracy is.
Starting with the velocity portion of the test I place 6 rounds through my Chronograph using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s and I averaged 317 fps which is about right considering the claimed fps is 366+ using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. The temperature was also not overly hot or cold in the Sea Can so in warner shooting conditions the fps will up a bit too.
Next I performed my accuracy test where i generally shoot 10 rounds on a paper target for 30 feet back ling a rested shooting position, sand bag up front and sensated in the back. I found the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol was shooting a good 6-8 inches low at this range with the default hop-up setup so I had to aim near the top of my target to place rounds closer to the bullseye for the sake of the video. I would say the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is capable of 1-2 inch 10 rod groupings, my test was closer to 2 inches but I can see potential for sub 2 inch groups. A quick hop-up adjustment should bring the aim point closer to where the rounds are actually hitting. I did perform a full auto mag dump and the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol was able to get through all 26 rounds with a full mag of gas but as expected accuracy was not very goo dat all as the heavy blowback action really throws this gun around.
All in all the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is a really nice Airsoft pistol that performs fairly well and in a game situation would get the job done nicely. It’s also a real looker with it’s stainless looking finish. Keep posted for my Table Top Video I will be making shortly for the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol.
Another Field Test Shooting Video Review coming for the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Airgun Shooting Range! In todays Shooting Review I test out the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver using both 4.5mm 5/1 grain Steel BB’s and .177 Caliber 6.9 grain Lead Pellets to see how well they perform in velocity and accuracy. As always I use a brand new CO2 for my velocity testing and for reference the temperature during my testing in the Sea Can was 23 degrees Celsius or 73 degrees Fahrenheit. For my accuracy portion of the shooting test I use a rested and seated shooting position shot 30 feet away from my fresh paper targets.
Starting off with the velocity or power potion of my Field Test Shooting Video for the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver. I first used the 4.5mm Steel BB shells and shot 3 rounds through my Chronograph averaging 369 fps. I then loaded up the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver with pellet shells and again placed three .177 caliber lead pellets through my Chrony and got a very similar result with an average of 361 fps. Keep in mind the lead pellets where 6.9 grain versus the steel BB’s at only 5.1 grain, so the lead pellets will be carrying more raw energy at the point of impact even though they where going just a tad bit slower than the steel BB’s.
In terms of accuracy both rounds performed about the same shooting at my paper target 30 feet away. Since the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver has a 6 round cylinder I shot 6 sounds for each test, 6 steel BB’s and then 6 lead pellets. I also changed the targets for each type of ammo between reloading. I found the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver shot fairly close to the bullseye, l but with both the Steel BB’s and lead pellets I got one outlier that spread out my groupings significantly, the other 5 rounds where all close being about 2 inches apart? Perhaps it was a bad or misshaped round, or maybe even me ;) I did notice the lead pellets seemed to have a really nice 4 round group out of the 6 that all fell within the bullseye. Hard to really say if BB’s or pellets performed better than the other one at least in my testing.
Overall the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver shot well for me, the trigger is nice and short and light making placing your shots easy, of course since it is a single action only trigger you kind of need to reset yourself between every shot which can effect groupings just a bit. Since the barrel is not rifled with no danger of damaging the rifling, you can really shoot what ever ammo type you feel like shooting or have on hand and since Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolvers get about the same speed and accuracy then it really doesn’t matter that much at the end of the day!
Type: BB/Pellet air revolver. Manufacturer/Distributor: Bear River. Model: Schofield No. 3 Materials: Mostly metal with plastic grips. Weight: 2.4 pounds. (1089 grams) Barrel: 7 inch (178mm) smooth bore barrel. Propulsion: 12 gram CO2. Action: Revolver, single action only. Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's and .177 Cal. Pellets. Ammunition Capacity: 6 rounds. FPS: 445fps.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the single action only Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is what you would expect from a pistol of this design. Like the Colt Single Action Army the trigger pull is very short, light and crips, perfect for taking your time and getting a precise shot on target. You will of course have to cock the hammer manually before each shot ao no real action shooting.
Accuracy: I have not tested the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Airgun Range but plan to get to it shortly. I will test out both 4.5mm Steel BB’s and some .177 caliber lead Pellets and see how the different ammo types effect both power and accuracy. Keep in mind the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver has a smooth bore barrel but I am pretty sure pellets will still perform well at 30 feet away.
Build Quality: The Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is built a lot like the Webley MK VI .455 CO2 Shell Loading Revolver line, perhaps even made in the same factory in Taiwan? The Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is pretty much an all metal construction other than the plastic grips and any internal seals. The fit and finish is excellent with a great overall weight in the hand. The pistol grips is a lot like what you have with the Colt Single Action Army pistol but the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is a lot more front end heavy because of its beefy barrel.
Realism: In terms of replicating a real steel Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver for sure looks and feels that part. The reassessed barrel and well hidden CO2 screw don’t give anything away that the Airgun version is not the real deal. But as with all of these shell loading Airgun Revolvers, the shells are actually closer to a .380 Caliber in diameter rather than a 45 which is what the real steel Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver would be designed for.
If you are like a bulky revolver with good weight to it then the Bear River Schofield No. 3 is it.
Can shoot Steel BB’s or Pellets since it comers with both shell types.
Recessed barrel.
Well concealed CO2.
Shell loading design that loads from the back so no need to remove shells if you wish not to.
Single Action Only hammer and trigger action feel good, nice and light with short take-up and release.
Fairly discreet safety location right behind the hammer so easy to get at.
Super easy to load, pellet shells can even be reloaded with shells in the gun if you are using the pellet shells.
Really like the Nickel Finish on this gun.
Can get simulated Ivory grips for it if you prefer that look.
Cons:
Sights are not adjustable.
Warning instructions on side of the frame.
Barrel is not rifled for pellet use?
Only a Single Action Only Hammer and Trigger but true to the style of the gun.
Comments:
Yet another classic shell loading CO2 BB Revolver, and again the more the merrier in my option! I like that you get 12 shells with our kit version, 6 removable shells for 4.5mm Steel BB’s and 6 removable shells for .177 caliber Pellets. The Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is for sure a hefty revolver but the pistol grip is not super large so even people with smaller hands should not have a problem shooting the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver. The real problem is deciding which Shell Loading Airgun Revolver to buy now since we have so many to choose from… Classic or modern, nickel or black, or perhaps weathered?
My Table Top Review for the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB/Pellet Revolver:
Here we have three very different products I Unbox and Preview for everyone. A Spring Piston multi-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle, a single action BB/Pellet revolver that’s not a Colt! And a really nice looking Semi Auto Blank Pistol in a Chrome finish.
Let’s start with the Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle. I think this is a really well thought out Air Rifle. It’s “almost a Bullpup” in design but it does actually load in front of the trigger just a bit, that said most of the spring piston is behind the trigger setup making it really compact yet with a longer than normal barrel compared to regular Break Barrel Spring Piston Air Rifles. The Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle also has a side lever cocking mechanism along with a 5 round auto indexing magazine which makes it much quicker to cock and reload for fast follow-up shots, again compared to a standard Break Barrel Air Rifle, not to mention no barrel droop! The Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle has a claimed fps of up to 500 so we are getting the max amount of velocity possible for our Canadian laws without making it a regulated firearm and requiring a PAL license. And by the way the Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle does come in both a Lime Green and all Black version just in case you are not a fan of the Lime Green finish I show in this video.
Moving onto the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica, if you like single action revolvers then take a look at the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica. It’s a lot more bulky than a Colt Single Action Revolver and also has that top Break design that makes reloading quick and easy. The version we are selling inner Replica Airgun Online Store is the kit version that comes with 6 BB shells and 6 pellet shells so you can take your pick on ammo types. The barrel is not rifled so Steel BB’s will not hurt the Airgun and since pellets are skirted they do not need a rifled barrel to fly straight and true. You can expect around 445 fps for the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica.
Some new guns came in for me to highlight, some will get full reviews and some are KWC unlicensed versions of some Airguns I have already reviewed so this unboxing update video will suffice for them.
Type: BB air pistol. Distributer:Umarex. Model:Beretta M9A3. Materials: Metal and polymer build. Weight: 1.9 pounds (861 grams). Barrel: 4.5 inches metal, non-rifled. Propulsion: CO2 x1. Action: Semi and full auto blowback, single and double action. Ammunition Type: 4.5mm Steel BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 18 rounds. FPS: 330.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Beretta M9A3 Full Auto CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is like what you would expect from a real Beretta of this style, it offers both single and double action but most of the time you will be shooting in single action since the slide blowback cocks the hammer after each shot. Single action has a little bit of take-up but has a predictable release that is not overly light or heavy. Double action shots are longer and heavier which is as expected but will only be required for that first shot if you have de-cocked your chambered pistol.
Build Quality: The Umarex Beretta M9A3 Full Auto CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is slightly lighter than the standard Beretta Mod. 92 A1 since it has a polymer frame but it still has a good weight to it at close to 2 pounds. All the materials feel high quality and the fit and finish is top notch. It’s a real looker for sure! The slide spring is one of the heavier ones I have seen in a full blowback CO2 BB pistol giving a real snappy blowback action.
Your choice of shooting in either semi auto or full auto mode.
Really nice replica of the original real steel Beretta M9A1.
Great weight and feel to it. Not too heavy!
High quality metal and polymer design, fit and finish is very good.
Strong slide spring so has nice crisp blowback action.
Realistic working safety and working slide catch release.
Full size dropout metal magazine that holds BB's and CO2.
Can be field stripped like original Beretta M9A3.
Fully Beretta licensed.
Can put a mock suppressor on it.
Really a great looking airgun!
Cons:
Will eat CO2 especially in full auto mode.
None adjustable sights but the front sight is removable.
Typical Umarex ugly white warning instruction on the slide.
Comments:
If you’re a Beretta fan then I think you are really going to want to pick one of these Umarex Beretta M9A3 Full Auto CO2 Blowback BB Pistols, even if you are lady have a different version. The new Umarex Beretta M9A3 Full Auto CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is by far one of the best to date in terms of getting it all right. You get all the typical Full Blowback features like a working slide catch release and magazine release, an ambidextrous safety, full size drop out metal magazine that hods the CO2 and 18 4.5mm Steel BB's. On top of all of this you also have a threaded barrel tip for adding a mock suppressor and the Authentic FDE Color Scheme that really makes the Umarex Beretta M9A3 Full Auto CO2 Blowback BB Pistol a real looker!
My Vimeo Videos for the Umarex Beretta M9A3 Full Auto CO2 Blowback BB Pistol:
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Beretta APX CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is a little different then that of the real steel APX. On the real steel APX there is actually a trigger safety and the actual gun uses a striker based system with a fairly short reset and take-up. On the Umarex Replica Airsoft version the trigger does not have a built in safety and the reset and take-up are much longer (full length). I have read that both the real steal and Airsoft versions of the APX both have about 6 pounds trigger pulls but I personally felt like the Airsoft version was heavier than that, perhaps because of the long pull. Overall the Umarex Beretta APX CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol trigger is acceptable but not my favorite.
Build Quality: Very good, the Umarex Beretta APX CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol feels heavier than 1.5 pounds in the hand, perhaps because it is a more compact gun. The metal slide, metal stick mag and internal metal parts all help to balance off the polymer frame nicely. Fit and finish is also good.
Realism: The Umarex Beretta APX CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol overall is a really close replica to the real steel APX other than the added safety and missing trigger safety. The added safety does not stand out too much and does serve a purpose while the missing trigger safety could of at least been there for show if not an actual working safety. Other than that the Umarex Beretta APX CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is very close to the Beretta APX with its full licensing, open ejection port, recessed barrel working slide catch release and blowback operation. Available at the:Replica Airguns Store
Pros:
Good weight and feel to it, build quality seems good overall.
Really nice replica of the original Beretta APX in most ways.
Working slide catch and release. Will also lock back on last shot.
Fully Beretta licensed through umarex.
Easy to see white dot sights front and back.
Recessed barrel and open ejection port for added realism.
Accessory rail for adding a laser or tactical light.
Stick magazine but plate gives the elusion of a full size magazine.
Warning instruction are nice and discreet!
Comes with two magazines and an additional back strap grip in a different color.
Cons:
Trigger is a bit long and perhaps heavier than the real steel APX trigger. It also does not have the trigger safety.
Has a stick magazine rather than a full size magazine.
Comes with orange tip but can be removed with some work.
Comments:
I like that the Airsoft version of the Beretta APX now comes in a box and also includes not only an extra magazine but also an included grip back strap in an alternate color for those that want a bit of customization. The Umarex Beretta APX CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol feels good in the hand and even thought the trigger is a bit long you can still get off some pretty quick shots since the trigger pull is not too tough. The Umarex Beretta APX CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol makes a fairly economical option for your sidearm in Airsoft battles and if you want more than two magazines than additional magazines are not that expensive and will not weigh you down on the field.
My YouTube Videos for the Umarex Beretta APX CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol:
First off make sure to checkout my Table top review for the G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS GBB Airsoft Pistol, it really is a nice Beretta Airsoft copy, perhaps one of the best out there!
In the Field Test Shooting Video I perform my standard Chronograph and accuracy tests on the G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS GBB Airsoft Pistol. I put 5 rounds through my Chrony Chronograph using .20 gram plastic Airsoft BB's with a full propane filled magazine. My Sea Can indoor airgun range was warmed up sufficiently for a gas gun test but I found the G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS GBB Airsoft Pistol did shoot a tad bit slower than the 330 or so claimed fps coming in closer to 300fps. Still totally usable for indoor airgun wars.
Moving onto my accuracy test I placed 10 shots on target 30 feet down range using a rested shooting position, sitting in the back and sand bag up front. This time I was impressed with how tight a group I got, I was able to get the bulk of the shots all within about three quarters of an inch with only two shots hitting just a little outside of this. I did notice the G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS GBB Airsoft Pistol was shooting a bit low for me but that can be easily corrected by adjusting the the internal hop-up to raise the shot placement up as required.
The G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS GBB Airsoft Pistol has a somewhat relaxed blowback but has plenty to give some recoil feel. You will get at least a full 27 round magazines worth of shots from each gas fill, perhaps even two if you stretch out your shooting a bit.
Type: Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol. Manufacturer: G&G Model: GPM92 Materials: Metal slide & frame. Weight: 2.24 pounds (1016 grams). Length: 8.9 inches total Barrel: 4.6 inches,Metal non-rifled smooth bore. Propulsion: Green gas or propane. Action: Blowback, single and double action. Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 27 rounds. FPS: 350+ fps.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS GBB Airsoft Pistol is very good in both single and double action. Double action is a bit longer but not that much heavier when shooting in single action. Single action shooting is short, light and crisp as you would expect when shooting a real steel Beretta 92 style pistol.
Accuracy: I have not done my actual Field Test Shooting video review for the G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS GBB Airsoft Pistol but I did get the chance to shot it quickly in my Sea Can indoor shooting range. Blowback felt good and accuracy seemed tight even though I was shooting free hand. I did notice the G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS GBB Airsoft Pistol shot just a little bit low but I can adjust the hop-up slightly to account for it.
Build Quality: Like pretty much all G&G Airsoft guns, the G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS GBB Airsoft Pistol build quality is right inline. Fit and finish where excellent and a lot of attention to detail was seen all over this Replica Airsoft Pistol. There is also some new gas valve technology from G&G that should significantly help with freezing in colder or fast shooting situations.
Realism: The G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS GBB Airsoft Pistol is an excellent replica of the real steel Beretta Mod. 92FS, the safety even acts as a working decocker. You'll also find 5, 10, and 15 numbered markings on the backside of the magazine that would normally indicate how many bullets are in the magazine, a nice touch for sure! Everything works pretty much the same as it would on a real Beretta M9 including the ability to fully field strip the G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS GBB Airsoft Pistol.
Whirl Cylinder Valve system should expect to get decent amounts of shots per gas fill.
White dot sights front and back.
Comes with hard shell case.
Very detailed full size drop out metal magazine.
20mm rail for accessories.
Comes with high quality speed loader.
Safety also works as a decocker.
Threaded removable barrel tip for add on mock suppressor.
Cons:
Sights are non adjustable.
A little bit more expensive than some other Beretta M92 full blowback Airsoft pistols
Barrel opening not as recessed as much as a real 9mm would be.
Comments:
I would have to say the G&G GPM92 is one of the nicest Beretta Model 92FS Airsoft Pistols you are going to find out there. There is a ton of attention to detail for sure, You also get the hard shell case with included high quality speed loader and G&G's new Advanced Safety Release Valve and Revolutionary Whirl Cylinder Valve that help with freeze-up issues. You might pay just a smidgen more that some other similar Blowback Beretta M92's out there but I feel it is well worth it.
My Vimeo Table Top Review of the G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS GBB Airsoft Pistol:
I just received some really nice G& G Airsoft guns to share with everyone, I have two CQB Styled AEG rifles and a fantastic Gas Blowback Beretta Mod. 92FS.
The AEG CQB AR or M4 styled rifles are similar in a lot of ways and are super compact and really well built. The G&G ARP-9 has a polymer receiver and hand guard while the G&G ARP-556 has a full metal receiver and hand guard. Both have good weight to them. You will also find Skeletonized PDW stocks and large crown flash hiders on both models along with M-LOK hand guards. Inside you will find upgraded ETU and MOSFET electronics.
Obvious difference are the 9mm style magazine found on the G&G ARP-9 versus the M4 styled high capacity magazine on the G&G ARP-556. You also get an ambidextrous safety sector switch on the G&G ARP-556.
Next I show off the G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol. It comes in a high quality hard plastic case with a well made speed loader. If you place the magazine in the gun you will have room for two magazine in the hard shell case. The G&G GPM92 hold 27 roads in it's double stack magazine that has some interesting new features that help it perform much beet in cold environments and really boost green gas usage. G& G calls them the Whirl Cylinder Valve system and Micro gas filter. Both help eliminate free up in the gun when shooting fast.
The G&G GPM92 Beretta Mod. 92FS is really well made and shoot in double and single action and the safety even works as a decocker. For those looking to add a mock suppressor you will happy to know the G&G GPM92 has a threaded barrel tip.
