Umarex Combat Zone Enforcer CO2 NBB Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review
I took the Umarex Combat Zone Enforcer CO2 NBB Airsoft Pistol out for some testing today to see how it performs in action. I’ve already put together a detailed tabletop review a while back covering all the specs, build quality, pros, and cons, so if you’re after the close-up details you can check that out separately. For this session, I wanted to focus only on performance—running it over the chronograph to measure velocity and then shooting a 10-round group at 30 feet to check accuracy in a more practical setup.
For the chronograph test, I used a new 12-gram CO2 cartridge paired with standard 0.25-gram BBs, and the weather was sitting at about 24°C (75°F). Across five shots, the readings came in at 327, 330, 330, 323, and 321 fps, averaging out to 326 fps. That’s a solid number for a non-blowback pistol running slightly heavier BBs, and if you were to switch down to .20-gram BBs, you’d likely see a noticeable increase in velocity.
When it came to accuracy, I shot from 30 feet in a semi-rested stance, bracing my hands against a sandbag while seated. The Umarex Combat Zone Enforcer CO2 NBB Airsoft Pistol grouped right around 2.5 inches, which is respectable for its category. Straight out of the box, with fixed sights that can’t be adjusted, it landed shots centered left to right and just a touch low. Since there’s no hop-up built in, you’ll need to adjust your point of aim or consider adding a laser if you want a more refined zero.
All in all, the Umarex Combat Zone Enforcer CO2 NBB Airsoft Pistol performed about as expected. Velocity was a little lower than I had initially hoped, but that comes down to using .25-gram BBs, which naturally slow things down a bit. Accuracy was solid for an entry-level pistol, and while the double-action trigger is on the heavier side, it breaks cleanly and predictably once you get used to it. It’s not really designed for rapid-fire action shooting, but if you’re looking for a budget-friendly sidearm that works reliably and allows you to carry multiple compact, affordable magazines, the Enforcer is definitely up to the task.
