Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

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?

Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Airsoft Pistol.
Distributer: Umarex.
Model: Beretta Mod. 92 FS Spring Clear.
Materials: Mostly plastic build.
Weight: .5 pounds (227 grams).
Total Length: 8.5 inches (21.6cm).
Barrel: 4.5 inches (114mm), non-rifled.
Propulsion: Spring.
Action: Repeater/Single shot.
Ammunition Type: 6mm Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 12 round drop out magazine.
FPS: 260.

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.

Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle Table Top Review

No Comments

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.

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…

KJWorks M9A1 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

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.

KJWorks M9A1 TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

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.

KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Shooting Video Review of the KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol I set out the Velocity in FPS using a Chronograph along with the accuracy shooting 10 rounds at a paper target setup 30 feet away. Umarex claims just under 400 fps so the goal will be to see how close we can get to that power rating. I have already made a Table Top Review Video for the KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol where I go into details about specification and also show more close up video of this NBB CO2 BB Pistol. Make sure to watch that video if that is the information you are looking for as this video only goes into performance characteristics.

For my Velocity Test of the KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol, I shot 5 rounds through my Chronograph using a brand new CO2 in a typical room temperature environment, not too cold or too warm. I was able to get an average velocity of 355 fps with my slowest recored shot hitting 344 fps and my fastest recored shot hitting 362 fps. I did notice that the fps seemed to increase a bit with each shot which is not typical of CO2 Airguns. This may mean the CO2 was not fully pierced but I did crank it down pretty tight. Perhaps there is more potential power out of this CO2 pistol by using a slightly different brand CO2 than I was using, as sometimes a CO2 can just not fight properly, so by switching CO2 brands with a slightly different nozzle shape, you can get a better fit?

Moving on to my accuracy test, I setup a brand new paper target 30 feet away form my shooting position which uses a sand bag up front to rest the gun on and me sitting on a stool in the back to help stabilize each shot. There is also some human factor when performing accuracy shooting totes with any gun but I do my best to get the most out of each Airgun. The KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol shot very well centered on the target left to right and just a bit on the high side but not by much. The 10 shot grouping did spread out a bit to around 4 inches or so but it was an even spread. I would have liked to have seen just bit tighter grouping, even a 3 inch grouping means you are going to hit a pop can at 30 feet pretty consistently.

All in all the KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol is a fun plinker with enough power and accuracy at the end of the day to enjoy blasting targets in your back yard effectively. The double action trigger is pretty good, like most double action trigger it is a little longer but it is smooth and the trigger weigth is light to medium with a predictive breaking point at the end. I am a Sig Sauer fan so I do like the look and feel of this pistol an even though it is mostly plastic, the all metal magazine adds enough weight to make it feel more substantial in your hand than what you would expect form a mostly plastic Airgun. if you want a fun inexpensive plinker that is going to be efficient on CO2 and cost very little to shoot then the KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol would be a good choice.

KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: NBB CO2 BB Pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by KWC.
Model: SP2022.
Materials: Plastic & metal.
Weight: 1.67 pounds (760 grams).
Total Length: 7.48 inches (190mm)
Barrel: 4 inches (102mm) metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto NBB, double action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 21 Round full size metal magazine.
FPS: Claimed 395.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol is the same as pretty much all of the DOA trigger low cost BB Pistols, where the trigger has to do most of the work rather than the blowback operation. Much of which is pulling back the fairly strong internal hammer spring. That said the Double Action Only trigger pull is lighter than most DOA triggers with an medium or average length of trigger pull. I would say the trigger is suitable as an action shooter for quick repetitive shots.

Accuracy: At this point I have reviewed a similar older version of this KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol. I did make a Field test video where I Tested it out along with 2 other pistols so I will add link to that video here but I do plan on making a dedicated Field Test Video for this newer version of the KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol down the road a bit. For now all I can tell you is it shot around 350 fps with about a 3 inch grouping shooting 10 rounds at a paper target setup 30 feet away. We will see how I do in test number two!

Build Quality: The KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol is mostly all metal with the exception of the full size all metal magazine, internal barrel, trigger and some other internal metal parts. The slide and frame are however plastic so when you take the all metal magazine out of the gun it does feel rather light weight and cheap, when you pop the magazine back in, it all of a sudden feels so much heftier in the hand with a decent overall weight of a bit over a pound and a half. I like that the KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol is not made like a lot of other low cost BB Pistols where they simply mould two halves of the gun and slap them together with screws on one side. The KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol is built more like a traditional pistol with a separate frame and slide along with the magazine. The slide does not function in any way however.

Realism: The KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol as it is made more like a real gun in terms of separate parts, does look more realistic as there are no telltale screws on one side. It also has a recessed barrel and the full size drop out metal magazine helps out with realism. You also have a working safety and magazine release but the hammer is just there for show, as it doesn’t even function when you pull the trigger back. You can only work the hammer with your thumb, and even then it does not function for any actual use shooting the pistol. Even though it is mostly plastic, the 1.67 pound weight does give the impression of more metal than is actually in the Airgun.

Pros:

  • Decent weight to it considering it is mostly plastic, full all metal magazine helps a lot.

  • Very Accurate Sig Sauer SP2022 replica without licensing.

  • Recessed barrel for added realism.

  • Full size all metal magazine.

  • Front sight does have a white dot for easier sight viewing.

  • Nice medium/light and fairly quick double action trigger

  • Picatinny rail for accessories.

  • Fairly affordable.

  • Simple design means it will be reliable.

Cons:

  • Almost all plastic.

  • No blowback - slide does not move either

  • Hammer does not move at all when shooting.

  • Non adjustable rear sight.

Comments:

I for the most part prefer blowback Airguns as I like the single action triggers you get with them, and that little bit of recoil that make shooting them that much more fun. The KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol is a good option if you not as interested in blowback action or perhaps want something a little bit less expensive with a bit higher velocity and more shots per CO2. You also tend to get more reliability with a non blowback Airgun as there are a lot less working parts to fail on you. I am not worried about the plastic as it is well made but a metal slide would be nice and there are version of these KWC 2022 pistols that do have metal slides, but they tend to come and go and are not always available. The only difference between the two would be the additional weight and better balance of the metal slide. the KWC SP2022 NBB CO2 BB Pistol is a nice looking Airgun and should perform well in my upcoming Field Test Shooting Video.

Long Awaited Item Mystery Box Unboxing - November 2024

No Comments

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.

Top Most Popular Replica Airgun Pistol Design Types

No Comments

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.

  • Glock

  • Sig Sauer

  • 1911

  • Beretta 92 / 84

  • S&W M&P

  • Makarov / Walther PPK

Which Beretta 92 Airgun is the Best - Updated

1 Comment

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…

Umarex Mod 92 A1 and 1911 Tac Airsoft - Barra Schofield Steel BB Pistol Update Video

No Comments

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.

WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

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.

WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

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.

KWC 2022 NBB - 24/7 NBB - 24/7 Blowback CO2 BB Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

This is a combined Filed Test Shooting Video for the KWC 2022 NBB - 24/7 NBB - 24/7 Blowback CO2 BB Pistols. I already made an update video for these KWC Steel BB Pistols since they are slightly different version I have not covered in any video beforehand.

As per my typical Field Test Shooting Videos I first place 5 shots through my Chronograph to test out the real world fps of each gun. I then shoot 10 rounds on a paper target setup 30 feet away using a seated and rested shooting position. My ammo for this test was 5.1 grain zinc coated 4.5mm Steel BB’s for all airguns along within a brand new 12 gram CO2. The temperature in my indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range was around 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) for this test.

First up was the KWC 2022 NBB 4.5mm CO2 Steel BB Pistol with an average five shot fps of 347. The KWC 2022 NBB 4.5mm CO2 Steel BB Pistol was the least accurate of the three Airguns tested on this day getting about a 5-6 inch 10 shot grouping. I did notice when I went to edit the video that it did shoot a double shot on the first shot which lowered that first shot making the group a bit larger. This may have been as a result of pulling the trigger with the safety on right before which probably loaded a round into the barrel followed by the second pull loading a second BB into the barrel.

I then tested out the KWC 24/7 NBB 4.5mm CO2 Steel BB Pistol which was by far the most powerful Airgun tested out of the three hitting a top fps of 452 with a five shot average of 420 fps! The KWC 24/7 NBB 4.5mm CO2 Steel BB Pistol was also fairly accurate getting a nice 2 inch 10 shot grouping, slightly to the left and just under the bullseye. Nothing wrong with that!

The last KWC 4.5mm Steel BB pistol for the day was my KWC 24/7 Blowback CO2 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol. The only only blowback single action shooter out of the bunch. As expected from a blowback CO2 Airgun the fps was lower averaging just under 300 fps (298 to be precise). The surprise of the day was the accuracy from the KWC 24/7 Blowback CO2 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol was the best out of this test group getting really close to a 1 inch grouping very well centered just a tad to the right but with near perfect elevation.

Depending on what you are going for, all of these Airguns are great choices. If you want ultimate power perhaps go for the KWC 24/7 NBB 4.5mm CO2 Steel BB Pistol with its 450+ fps, if you want accuracy and realism then I would suggest the KWC 24/7 Blowback CO2 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol with its full blowback action and excellent accuracy.

Umarex Beretta M9A3 Full Auto CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Table Top Review

3 Comments

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.

Accuracy: I have not shot this "version" of the  Umarex Beretta M9A3 Full Auto CO2 Blowback BB Pistol but it will undoubtedly perform very similar to the  Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 A1 CO2 Blowback 4.5mm BB Pistol I previously tested since both guns are mechanically very similar. You shoudl expect around 320-340 fps deeding on the outside temperature and 10 shot groupings from 30 feet away to be in the 2-3 inch diameter range.

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.

Realism: The Umarex Beretta M9A3 Full Auto CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is a 1 to 1 replica of the Real Steel Beretta M9A3 and when I looked at the Real Steel version online I was amazed at how close they looked each other, the Real Steel Beretta M9A3 does have a full beveled magazine well but you can only really see this when the magazine is out of the gun. You are going to find the mechanical parts on the Umarex Beretta M9A3 Full Auto CO2 Blowback BB Pistol work pretty much the same as the real steel version including the ability to field strip it.

Available at the: Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • 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!

Umarex Beretta APX CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Airsoft pistol.
Distributer: Umarex.
Model: Beretta APX.
Materials: Metal slide polymer frame.
Weight: 1.47 pounds (667 grams).
Barrel: 4.17 inches, non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x1.
Action: Semi auto blowback, double action.
Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 15 rounds.
FPS: 325.

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.

Accuracy: I have not shot the Umarex Beretta APX CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol so far but I have shot the 4.5mm Steel BB version of this CO2 Pistol and it performed well getting pretty much exactly what Umarex claimed for fps so I would expect the Airsfot version to shoot pretty close to 325 fps with .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. Accuracy for the Steel BB version was about 2 inches from 30 feet away with a 10 round group. Generally speaking the same Airsoft version will shoot a bit more open so I am hoping to get somewhere near a 4 inch group with the Umarex Beretta APX CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol.

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.

Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sportline CO2 Airsoft Pistol Shooting Review

1 Comment

First off let's get the fact that the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sportline CO2 Airsoft Pistol is not going to win any awards for true to scale weight and materials used in its production. This Airsoft pistol is virtually all plastic with the exception of some internal metal parts. It weighs next to nothing but that could actually be a good thing if you don't want a heavy sidearm dragging you down on the field. Once you are all geared up with your primary weapon and all it's extra magazines and what not. And of course you are probably covered head to toe in some sort of tactical uniform, why drag yourself down even more with a heavy sidearm and all it's heavy backup magazines? Just a thought!

What's really important is how does the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sportline CO2 Airsoft Pistol actually perform? Well really good for an inexpensive pistol and since there is no blowback operation you are going to get a lot more shots per CO2 and higher fps.

In terms of power, being non-blowback did seem to help out the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sportline CO2 Airsoft Pistol. I got an average of 390 fps shooting 6 shots through my Chrony Chronograph. I was using .20 gram plastic Airsoft BB's with a brand new CO2 cartridge. The temperature was around 16-17 degrees Celsius which is around 62 degree Fahrenheit.

Next up I placed 10 rounds into my paper target setup 30 feet down range. From my seated and rested position I was able to get about a 2 inch grouping and all the shots where fairly well centered, just a tad to the left. This is good considering most lower priced Airsoft pistols are not going to have adjustable sights which is the same with the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sportline CO2 Airsoft Pistol.

Being that the Cybergun Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sportline CO2 Airsoft Pistol is non-blowback, it only shoots in double action only but I found the trigger to be really good. It's nice and light, not too long and even good for rapid fire shooting! You just need to learn the break point if you want to slow it down and go for accuracy. Overall I think the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sportline CO2 Airsoft Pistol is a nice under the radar kind of Airsoft pistol and if you are looking for a light weight inexpensive backup gun then the Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Sportline CO2 Airsoft Pistol would be a good option.

No Comments

I'm back from my family Vacation in sunny Oceanside California and ready to start making more review videos for everyone! To kick things off I show you 6 Cybergun Airsoft pistols. All of these bad boys are actually made by KWC, Cybergun licenses the Colt, Taurus and Sig Sauer names and redistributes them out of the US hence the orange tips on most of the barrels.

All five Cybergun pistols are full metal with blowback operation with the exception of the Sig Sauer SP2022 which is non-blowback and primarily plastic including the frame, slide and even the magazine. All these Cybergun Airsoft Pistols shoot 6mm Plastic Airsoft BB's and use 12 gram CO2 cartridges in their full size drop out magazines.
