Replica Airguns July 2025 Dual Mystery Box Video

No Comments

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

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

SHOT Show Las Vegas 2025 Replica Airguns Crosman Daisy Interview

No Comments

This will be my final Interview Video for SHOT Show 2025. I did get to talk with someone from Crosman but the Daisy rep was not around totally with so I did my best to talk about a couple of the Daisy products that I felt were interesting. If you are not aware, Crosman and Daisy have now joined forces together along with Gamo, Benjamin and SPLATRBALL so all of these product were on display at the Crosman Daisy Booth. I focussed on the Crosman M1 Full Auto Carbine and their updated all black ST1 Full Auto BB Rifle. We then took a look at some of the Game Face Airsoft Products and then I performed my own Interview/Review for Daisy talking about the Woodland Trail Model 1911 and Model 25 Lever and Pump Action BB Rifles.

SHOT Show Las Vegas 2025 Replica Airguns Teaser

No Comments

I’m back from SHOT Show 2025 Las Vegas and finished transferring and uploading all the video from all the cameras we shot it all on. We had a great time, we met a lot of great folks at the booths and it’s now time to put it all together and make some videos for everyone so I can share the experience!

I always like to put out a “Teaser Video” with some quick clips of the entire experience including some of the travels, a bit of the resort we stayed at, shots of Vegas and of course lots of the SHOT Show 2025 experience along with the booths we visited. Enjoy this quick preview and stay posted for my upcoming Interview Videos shortly…

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.

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.

Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol Field Test Review

1 Comment

This Field Test Shooting Review for the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is a lot different from most of my other shooting video reviews mainly because the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is not a CO2 powered BB Pistol like pretty much every other 4.5mm Steel BB pistol I have ever tested. There are way more 6mm Airsoft spring pistols but when it comes to actual 4.5mm BB Pistols they are not very common. The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is Kind of like the pistol version of the Daisy Red Ryder BB Rifle…

I have already made a Table Top Review Video for the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol so make sure to check out that review for specifications and details on the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol.

So let’s get right into the nitty gritty on how the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol performed in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range. Starting off with the feet per second velocity for the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol Daisy claims around 240 fps. shooting about 8 shots through my chronographs with standard 5.1 grain 4.5,, steel BB’s I was able to get an average of just over 180 fps, the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol was super consistent shooting all shots between 181 and 189 fps.

I then proceeded to place 10 shots on my paper target setup 30 feet down range shooting from a rested portion with a sand bag up front supporting my hadbn’s and a stool to sit on in the back. The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol did shoot a bit low and to the left but all 10 shots grouped within 3 inches of each other, actually a bit better than I was expecting from a low cost BB Pistol like this. If I was shooting at a pop can and adjusted my aim point a bit I would have hit the can 10 out of 10 times which is about as good as you can ask for a plinker like this.

The best way I can describe the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is the pistol equivalent of the Daisy Re Ryder in that it shoots 4.5mm Steel BB’s has a high capacity BB reservoir that holds lots of BB’s and you are required to cock the spring for each shot rather than use CO2 for power. This makes for an over low cost Airgun but like the Daisy Red Ryder it is a lot fo fun to shoot at the end of the day. The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol has a surprisingly good trigger and at the end of the day shot really consistently for me.

Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol Table Top Review

3 Comments

Type: BB Pistol.
Manufacturer: Daisy
Model: Powerline 340.
Materials: Mostly metal construction.
Weight: 1 Pound (454 grams).
Barrel Length: 4-5 inches
Total Length: 8.5 inches.
Propulsion: Spring
Action: Single action only.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB’s.
Ammunition Capacity: 13/200 round magazine.
Max FPS: 240 fps.

Trigger Pull: The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol has a single action only trigger. You will have to pull the slide back for each shot as this motion draws the spring back and also cocks the hammer. The trigger pull is fairly decent with about a quarter inch of take-up followed by a light predictable release. There will not be any action shooting since the trigger is not double action and the fact that the slide must be pulled back for each shot.

Accuracy: So far I have not made my Field Test Shooting Video for the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol but I did take it outside for some good old plinking to see how it would perform causally shooting in the yard. The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol shot a bit harder than I was expecting it to and I was even able to hit targets a good 50 or so feet away but did have to account for some trajectory arch. Accuracy seemed good in general without a lot of need to adjust my aim point as the sights seemed well centered out of the box which is good since they are not adjustable.

Build Quality: The build quality of the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is nothing exciting as it is mostly plastic with a metal barrel and perhaps a few other internal metal parts. Being that the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is mostly plastic it only weighs in at about a pound but feels good in the hand. Everything feels pretty solid on the airgun with good overall fit and finish.

Realism: In terms of realism the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is a good replica of a Beretta 92 in terms of looks and size comparison. Other than the open slide area that exposes the inner barrel being shorter than a real steel Beretta (probably to accommodate the internal spring) the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol looks very close to a Beretta 92. Moving parts include the slide, hammer, magazine release and slide catch release which is actually the safety. Even the magazine is drop out and near full size. I also like that there are no perceivable screw holes which is usually the case with these types of low cost all plastic Airguns when they are basically two halves slapped and screwed together.

Pros:

  • Pretty decent replica of a Beretta 92 in general.

  • For an inexpensive Airgun  it has a lot of working parts that make it more realistic.

  • Very low cost to buy and operate, no CO2 required (Under $40 in Canada Store right now).

  • Has a recessed barrel for added realism.

  • Single action only trigger is not overly long or heavy.

  • Lots of ammo stored in the internal hopper so no need for a lot reloading.

  • Safety actually looks like part of the gun built into the slide catch release.

  • Full size dropout magazine.

  • Weight and feel of gun are pretty good considering so much plastic.

Cons:

  • Not super high in the fps department.

  • Need to cock the slide for every shot so not going to be an action shooter.

  • Made in China.

Comments:
The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is one of those low cost yet kind of fun BB guns that as long as you don’t have super high expectations you will get a ton of fun out of for very little cost. At about $40 Canadian with a bit more for some 4.5mm steel BB’s you are ready to shoot all day long. I was a bit surprised at how decent of a little BB gun the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is. It looks real enough, has a decent build quality to it, actually shoots pretty good with a nice trigger and for such a low cost airgun it has a lot going for it like lots of working parts and even a removable full size magazine that doubles as a 200 round hopper with 13 round internal magazine. I don’t think anyone will be disappointed buying the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol and it would make a perfect first BB gun for a younger person looking to get started out in the sport.

Umarex Legends Cowboy Rifle Versus Daisy Red Ryder BB Rifle Shooting Comparison

No Comments

I have not officially done a Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle other than my quick outside shooting test where I simply shot a bunch of rounds at some pop cans just to see how the Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle would work for me and it did perform well during that test.

Jumping ahead to a little while later when I went to make my Official Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle. I found it was not performing well at all, shooting well under the 410 claimed fps closer to 200 fps which was a surprise since it seemed to do a lot better for me on my previous test. I even changed out the CO2 but still did not get any better results. I racked this up to maybe being a defective gun and so I went about getting my hands on another Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle.

Guess what? Same thing with rifle number two. Very poor fps, again almost half of the claimed rated velocity. So at this point I decided I was goring to make the Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle and let the results speak for themselves… I also thought it would be fun to compare it to the Classic 1938 Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun since I figured they would both get similar fps and accuracy and be rather comparable at the end of the day.

I do have to say that the Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle did make me eat my words and I am happy it did since I really like the Umarex Legends CO2 BB Lever Action Cowboy Rifle and wanted it to do well!

Usually I state all there results for My Field Test Shooting Videos here in the written article but I kind of feel it is best if you just watch this one from start to finishes since the video result s did turn out to really surprise me in the end.

Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol Field Test Review

1 Comment

Make sure to watch my Table Top Review Video if you want more info on the details and specifications for the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol! in this Field Test Shooting video I test out the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol inside the Replica Airguns indoor Sea Can Airgun Range to see how well it performs in terms of Velocity and Accuracy. The temperature was 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) so not too hot or too cold on this test day. I was also using a brand new CO2 along with 5.1 grain RWS zinc coated steel BB’s.

For the first test to find out what the actual velocity is for the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol, I placed 5 rounds through my Chronograph back to back and I was able to get an average of 456 fps with the fastest shoot hitting 460 fps and the slowest shot in the string hitting 451 fps. All within 9 fps of each other so very consistent.

Next I setup a fresh paper target 30 feet down range and proceeded to do my best to obtain a 10 shot grouping using a seated and rested shooting position. Most of the shots form the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol where all under 1.5 inches apart, just a little bit high and slightly to the left. I did get a flyer that went a little bit lower than the rest lengthening out the 10 shot grouping to about 2 inches in diameter. I am pretty sure I would be able to get a 1 inch grouping with the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol after some practice.

Overall the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol performed well for me shooting consistently without any issues. The Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol is fairly basic in design but does have the added much suppressor that allows for a longer inner barrel giving it a little more fps. You also have the removable sight rail fi you want to add some optical sights or perhaps a laser or tactical light or maybe all of them? Pickup the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol in a variety of colors over at the Replica Airguns Online Canada and US Stores!

Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol Left Side.jpg

Type: Non-blowback CO2 BB Pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by Daisy.
Model: Powerline 5170.
Materials: Metal & plastic.
Weight: 1.8 pounds.
Barrel: Smooth bore goes entire length of much compensator.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto non-blowback, double action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 21 round drop out plastic magazine.
FPS: Claimed 520.

Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol Right Side.jpg

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol is that of a Double Action only Trigger and so you will expect it to be on the long side. That said it is smooth all the way through the pull and no overly heavy. It also has a rather satisfying feeling that I can only explain as a feeling that you are working well put together internal metal parts.

Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol Compensator Close.jpg

Accuracy & Power: At this point I have not shot the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol so I can only quote what Daisy is saying in terms of velocity which is rather optimistic 520fps. This sounds high but we will have to see when I get to the Field Test Shooting Review for the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol.

Build Quality: The Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol seems to be decently made for a mostly plastic airgun. Like I said the metal trigger feels solid and it also has a metal safety which is nice, other than that all other external parts are plastic but it does feel like there are a lot of metal internal parts based on the weight. I would have liked to see more metal in the magazine as it does feel to be the cheapest part of the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol.

Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol Back Close.jpg

Realism: The Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol is basically a replica of a 1911 in most ways. It does have a shorter slide than a standard 1911 but the compensator adds a lot of length back to the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol. The working safety is out of place for a 1911 since it is located where the slide catch would be and does not even look like a 1911 slide catch. The location where the real 1911 safety would be has a moulded in non-working safety. Not to be overly picky but the trigger on a 1911 is also totally different since it would be a very short single action only trigger. The only working parts on the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol are the trigger, safety and magazine release.

Available From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol Grip Close.jpg

Pros:

  • Fairly low cost with what looks to be decent fps and hopefully good accuracy.

  • Has an added compensator that extends the barrel internally.

  • Double action trigger is very smooth and satisfying feel to it.

  • Comes with sight rail for addition of top, bottom and side Weaver accessories.

  • Safety actually looks like part of the gun even though not a 1911 style lever.

  • CO2 tab is well hidden by magazine but plate.

  • Weight and feel of gun are pretty good considering so much plastic. 

  • Pretty decent replica of a Colt 1911.

  • Made in Japan.

Cons:

  • Will need an optical sight of some sort or will have to take off sight rail to use built in sights.

  • Drop out magazine is all plastic.

  • Not many working parts.

Comments:

I’m not really a big fan of all plastic non-blowback airguns but I am willing to give the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol a chance since it does have some things going for it like high fps which I know is important to many of you. The Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol also has a really nice double action trigger which should make shooting it easy and fun. The sight rail also gives the Daisy Powerline 5170 CO2 BB Pistol a lot of versatility when it comes to making the Daisy Powerline 5170 your own by adding on pretty much any accessory you can imagine.

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.

Which 1911 Airgun is the Best?

1 Comment

In this comparison video I look at a variety of different 1911 Airguns and compare them to each other to determine which one I feel is the best 1911 Airgun, well at least for me.

Some of the guns I consider are the Umarex Colt Government 1911 A1 Pellet Pistol, the Sig Sauer Max Michel and Spartan 1911 BB Pistols, the Daisy Winchester Model 11 BB Pistol, and a selection of KWC made 1911's: Tanfoglio Witness 1911, Swiss Arms SA 1911 Tactical, Swiss Arms SA 1911 Seventies, KWC M1911 Tac A1 and the Umarex Colt Commander 1911.

So which one did I like the best? Well watch my YouTube Video to find out :)

Daisy Red Ryder Field Test Shooting Review

1 Comment

It's been a while since I pulled out the old Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun. And I know I have already done some Vimeo videos for the Red Ryder and the Crosman Marlin Cowboy but I really wanted to make an updated Field Test Video specifically for the Red Ryder and see how it fairs in a more controlled shooting test.

As always with my Field Test Shooting videos I test out the velocity using my Chrony Chronograph and see what the real world fps is compared to what Daisy Claims which by the way is up to 350 fps. I also setup a paper target about 30 feet back and take 10 shots using a rested and seated shooting position to determine what kind of grouping I can get and how well centered the airgun is out of the box.

During my velocity testing the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun shot well under the claimed 350 fps by around 100 fps. I can say that the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun was super consistent and shot between 242 fps as a low and 244 fps as a high averaging 243 fps. The Daisy Red Ryder is sure one of the most consistent airguns I have tested to date in terms of velocity constancy! This will help a lot with vertical accuracy.

During my accuracy test I would have to say the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun shot pretty close to a 2 inch grouping and was pretty well centered with 4 shots hitting the black bullseye , I did pull my last shot a bit which extended the group a little but this was for sure my fault as I new I pulled it as soon as I shot it, the stock actually dropped on my shoulder a little just as I pulled the trigger.

Overall I really enjoy shooting the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun, it's so simple yet so fun to shoot, there is just something about a lever action rifle that I really like and the super low cost to purchase and shoot a Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun also makes it a must have for anyone no matter how many airguns you own or what type you shoot.

Daisy Powerline 5501 and 5502 Field Test Comparison Review

1 Comment

In this Field Test Shooting video I test out both the Daisy Powerline 5501 and Daisy Powerline 5502 CO2 Blowback BB pistols to determine what the real work velocity is and also how well they performs in terms of accuracy. To test velocities for both Airguns I use a my Chrony Chronograph and do my best to get 5 good readings which I then average out. I always use a brand new 12 gram CO2 cartridge and generally use 5.1 grain Zink Coated Steel BB's for my entire Field Testing. For my accuracy test, I set myself up 30 feet back using a semi rested position, to do this I place a sand bag up front to rest my hands and gun on and then stand securely in the back while I place 10 rounds on a paper target. There will obviously be some humane factor involved since I am not perfect but I can usually get a good idea on how accurate a given gun is using this method.

During my Velocity or FPS Chronograph testing, I managed to get 4 good readings out of 15 shots with the Daisy Powerline 5501 scoring an average of 367fps. Amazingly my first 5 shots with the Daisy Powerline 5502 all ready perfectly on my Chronograph even though they where moving a good 50fps faster, go figure? My average velocity for this 5 shot sting of shots was 417fps.

For my accuracy testing I was expecting both guns to perform about the same since mechanically they arevirtually the same other than a longer barrel on the 5502. The Daisy Powerline 5501 however seemed to struggle with consistency, it did group well left to right and up and down on the target but the spread was about 5 inches and it should of gotten closer to 2-3 inches in my books for a blowback pistol like this. The Daisy Powerline 5502 did perform better in terms of accuracy getting closer to a 2-3 inch grouping so overall I have to give the Powerline 5502 the advantage in both velocity and accuracy.

Another noteworthy point to mention is how much quieter the Daisy Powerline 5502 is in person! I am assuming the longer barrel along with the compensator perhaps muffling the sound a bit plays a roll in this. Both Daisy Powerline CO2 Blowback BB Pistols have a nice solid blowback action simulating some recoil and the triggers on both are fairly decent being that they simulate more of a double action feel with their long medium weight pull.

I do like the look of the more simplified Daisy Powerline 5501 with it's chrome frame but the performance and accessory option of the Powerline 5502 are a definite benefit for this model.

Umarex Beretta Desert Storm and Daisy Powerline 5502 Preview Video

No Comments

First off I want to point out that both of these guns I have already reviewed in slightly different cosmetic versions. The Umarex Beretta M92 A1 Desert Storm is essentially the same gun as the Umarex Beretta Mod. 92 A1 Blowback CO2 BB Pistol but with a distressed aged look and the Commemorative Desert Storm licensing on it. Similarly the Daisy Powerline Tactical 5502 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is based on the chrome framed Daisy Powerline 5501 but the Daisy Powerline 5502 comes with a sight rail and compensator.

Check out my other reviews for the Daisy Powerline 5501 and Umarex Mod. 92 A1.

In this video I show you around both the Umarex Beretta M92 A1 Desert Storm and Daisy Powerline Tactical 5502 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol and compare them to their significant similar versions. I talk a bit about specifications but this is a preview video so I don't go into full details. I hope to add some follow up reviews especially a comparison shooting video between the Daisy Powerline Tactical 5502 and Daisy Powerline 5501 since there is a barrel length difference that may give the Powerline 5502 an FPS performance advantage.

I will leave you now with some specifications for both guns.

Daisy Powerline Model 400 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Table Top Review

6 Comments

Type: Air Pistol.

Manufacturer: Daisy

Model:Powerline Model 400.

Materials: Plastic main body with some metal parts.

Weight: 1.6 pounds (708 grams).

Barrel: 5.5 inches - Metal none rifled.

Propulsion: 12 gram CO2.

Action: Blowback single action only.

Ammunition Type: 4.5mm Steel BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 20 round top loading stick magazine.

FPS: 350+.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Daisy Powerline Model 400 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is single action only and has about a medium pull to it, not the lightest single action trigger I have shot by far but not too heavy by any means. There is some initial take-up with a noticeable release point.

Accuracy: Make sure to watch my full Field Test Shooting video for th PHOTO4 Daisy Powerline Model 400 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. When performing my usual 30 foot out paper target shooting performance test I was able to get about a 2 inch 10 shot grouping using a semi rested stance. This pistol did shoot rather on the high side so you will have to aim low as the sights are non-adjustable. In terms of velocity I was able to get fairly consistent 350fps performance using a brand new CO2, this is pretty good considering this is a 20 year old pistol and may have been one of the first blowback airguns to hit the market. The Daisy Powerline Model 400 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol was a bit of a CO2 hog only getting around 50 shots out of one 12 gram CO2.

Build Quality: The Daisy Powerline Model 400 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is a mainly all metal airgun but it is solid and well built, The plastics used long ago in my opinion are superior in terms of longevity to today plastics. Being a Japan built gun is also a plus and you will find metal parts where they need to be as in the hammer, trigger, barrel, safety and many other internal parts. Keep my used pistol is over 20 years old and still looks and works like new.

Realism: The Daisy Powerline Model 400 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is an obvious replica of a Desert Eagle Semi Auto Pistol, there are no licensed markings but there is no doubt what this gun is intended to look like. In terms of size and overall appearance it is a good copy of a real steel Desert Eagle but it does weigh in a lot lighter being made mostly from plastics. Some mechanical parts are moulded into the gun like the safety and slide catch but the blowback operation helps add back to the realism. Of course the top loading 20 round BB magazine is not at all what you would expect to find on the real Desert Eagle, that said it is practical for loading a BB gun.

Available in the: Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • Pretty decent Desert Eagle replica.

  • True single action Blowback operation.

  • Metal parts where they need to be (Barrel, safety, hammer, trigger and other internal parts).

  • Top loading 20 round stick mag is removable.

  • Shot a bit high but proved to be fairly accurate.

  • Got decent fps for super early generation blowback pistol.

  • Very unique and hard to find airgun to add to ones collection.

  • Made in Japan

Cons:

  • No longer in production.

  • Mostly plastic build.

  • None adjustable sights, shot kind of high.

  • Did not get a lot of shots per CO2, maybe 50-60 or so.

Comments:

I like my Blowback airguns and I also like guns that are a bit unusual or you don't see very often. The Daisy Powerline Model 400 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol hits both of these point in my books and also turned out to be a fun gun to shoot! Good luck finding one in good condition but there are other options out there if you are wanting to pickup a Desert Eagle Replica Airgun, take a look at the Umarex CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Shooting Blowback Desert Eagle or the KWC Full Blowback CO2 Airsoft Desert Eagle.
