I wanted to get this video out to you a bit sooner but I have been really sick the past three days and so I have not had a lot of time to put this YouTube Video together. It's a pretty simple compilation of some photos and videos I took during my time walking around the 2012 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, not all of it is to do with airguns but most of it is. I even took a few touristy shots since it wasn't all work ;)
We now have some extra magazines available for our popular BB shooting Colt Special Combat! Not only odes the magazine hold the 20 rounds of BB's but also a CO2 cartridge. So if you already have a Colt Special Combat or you're thinking of getting one, be sure to pickup an extra magazine while you're at it!
My recently acquired (Thanks UmarexUSA) Umaerx EBOS CO2 BB Machine Gun was just screaming for some add-ons and to be honest the first thing that I noticed was the open sights really needed upgrading. Luckily the rear sight is removable allowing you to mount just about any type of Red Dot Scope or sighting system you want, just make sure it is high enough to see up and over the front BB hopper.
I decided to go with an EOTech Styled Red-Green Dot Tactical Scope and I have to tell you this guns looks awesome with it installed!
I finished off the look with an unobtrusive Tactical Rail Mount Flashlight. All in all I think I spent about as much if not more on accessories for this gun as it is worth to buy :)
Type: CO2 BB Shotgun.
Manufacturer: UmarexUSA.
Model: Walther SG9000.
Materials: Plastic (polymer) and some metal construction.
Weight: 2.35 pounds.
Barrel: 11.5 inches, metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1 (88 gram).
Action: Semi auto, double action only.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's
Ammunition Capacity: 40 shot internal spring fed magazine.
FPS: 480 (single shot) - 250 (three shot burst).
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Walther SG 9000 is in the mid range and is a bit long but once you get used to it you can fire off shots very quickly with little resistance. There really aren't any sticky spots in the trigger pull to speak of.
Accuracy: I shot this CO2 BB Shotgun at a target from the hip 20 feet away using my NcSTAR laser sight I installed on it in a free standing position, and it performed excellent getting a 1.5 inch grouping fairly centered on target. I also performed my accuracy test from 30 feet out in a semi-rested position using my 6x32 NcSTAR Scope and again I got a 1.5 inch grouping proving that a BB gun can show decent accuracy even from further out when setup properly. With my Chrony Chronograph testing I scored much higher then the factory claimed feet per second of 480fps in single shot mode and 250fps in three shot burst mode. I ended up getting an average 8 shot fps in single shot mode of 504fps and 309fps in three shot burst mode!
Build Quality: This is an almost all external polymer air gun with some metal components on the inside giving the Walther SG9000 a bit of a light to medium overall weight but once you add the large 88 gram CO2 cartridge and some accessories this gun can quickly gain a pound or two. All four accessory rails are metal along with the trigger. The fit and finish is very good on the SG9000 and the plastic quality seems very durable.
Realism: The Umarex Walther SG9000 is licensed by Walther but other then a similarity in the pistol grip it doesn't closely look like any specific Walther product or any specific Tactical shotgun for that matter. It does have a very tactical look and with a few accessories added you will have yourself a very persuasive looking shotgun on your hands.
Supplied by UmarexUSA - Can be purchased from: The Replica Airguns Store.

Comments:
The Umarex Walther SG9000 is a really fun and very inexpensive CO2 BB shotgun. With its multiple shooting modes you have the option of power and accuracy in single shot mode or to simply blow stuff away in three shot burst mode. The Walther SG9000 is also very customizable allowing you to really make this Tactical BB shotgun your own by decking it out with just about any combination of add ons and accessories you like! I found this gun the most fun to shoot in three shot burst mode using my laser sight and literally knocking down everything I pointed at!
Watch my YouTube Video Review of the Umarex Walther SG9000 CO2 BB Shotgun:
Mil3 sent me some more updated photos of his customized Cybergun Tanfoglio Witness 1911 now with the Sight Rail add on.
Type: BB air pistol.
Manufacturer: Umarex.
Model: CP99 Compact Recon Version.
Materials: Metal slide, polymer frame.
Weight: 1.8 pounds.
Barrel: 5 inches, non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto, blowback, single action only.
Ammunition Type: Steel BBs 4.5mm.
Ammunition Capacity: 18 rounds.
FPS: Up to 400.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex CP99 Compact Recon is amazing, it is short and light making it one of the best action shooters I own. You can fire this gun accurately and fast all day long.
Accuracy: Great! The addition of the Green Dot Scope and slightly longer barrel on the CP99 Compact Recon version work amazingly well, this is one of the most consistent BB shooter I own getting under 2 inch groups at will from 20 feet out.
Build Quality: Excellent, this BB gun is made in Japan and uses metal where it is really needed like in the slide, slide release, safety, trigger, magazine release, magazine and most of the mechanical parts. It's well made, well finished and feels great in the hand.
Realism: This Replica BB gun has many of the same characteristics of the actual 9mm P99 Compact with the exception of having a longer handle and much different safety mechanism. Umarex has even changed the design a bit with the newer CP99 Compacts and made the ejection port cut out adding to the realism of this BB shooter.
Available at: the Replica Airguns Store.
Pros:
Decent reproduction of the original Walther P99 Compact 9mm.
Would make an excellent training gun as it has a similar size, weight, and feel to the actual Walther P99 Compact 9mm handgun.
Blowback action is very firm adding to the realism of shooting this weapon.
Really good FPS, accuracy and CO2 efficiency for a blowback BB air gun.
The Recon version has a longer barrel adding a few more FPS to this already great air pistol.
Amazing light and fast trigger pull making it a blast to shoot.
Addition of the Sight Rail, Compensator and Green Dot scope really add to the esthetics and performance of this BB pistol.
Cons:
The Sight Rail, Compensator and most of the Green Dot scope are plastic but this does not seem to effect the performance in any way.
Safety lever seems out of place and takes away from the realism of this replica.
Switch on the Green Dot Scope is silver making it stand out from the rest of the all black air gun.
Comments:
I already loved the CP99 Compact non-Recon version so I had very high expectations for this BB gun to be at least as good if not better and I was not disappointed! I was actual surprised at the improvements that the longer barrel and Green Dot Scope made not only in a much higher Feet Per Second rating (about 75 fps), but also the much improved accuracy in what was already a decent shooter. For the additional $40, you get the Sight Rail which allows you to add multiple accessories if required. You get the Green Dot Scope that noticeably improved the accuracy, and you also get the compensator which hides the extra long barrel for more FPS.
I can't help but share some of the photos my happy viewers and customers send me and it seem like the hot item right now is the Cybergun Tanfoglio Witness 1911 CO2 BB Pistol yet again.
These latest photos are brought to you by Mil3 who added rubber grips and an accessory rail to his Tanfoglio Witness 1911. He said the rubber grips only needed some slight carving out on the back side to make them fit.
I've had a few questions about replacing the gips on the Cybergun Tanfoglio Witness 1911 BB pistol and if it is possible to use standard 1911 wood grips? The answer is yes if you don't mind spending about 15-20 minutes removing just a bit of the wood material in a few spots on the 1911 Wood Grips
Here are the instruction thanks to one of my Customers and viewers Michel:
First of all the holes are in the right place thank god for that! A dremel is the ideal tool youll need, and the whole mod.
After on the other side of the mag release button make sure there is enough clearance for when you depress the button.
Here are a few pictures of the mod. Have fun:
I've written a few posts on the Umarex Walther CP99 Compact. It was even featured in my very first YouTube video with my Umarex Walther PPK Full Auto BB Pistol. I do sell the CP99 Compact in my web-store but not the regular version, rather the Recon version. With the Recon version you get a few extras: The Sight Rail, a Red Dot Scope and a Compensator extension which I feel is better value over the standard version.
One thing that I noticed about the Compensator extension is that it's not just an add on simply for looks, this Recon version of the CP99 Compact has a longer barrel inside the compensator which should give the Recon version of the CP99 Compact a bit higher FPS. I will test this theory down the road with my Chrony Chronograph.
Enjoy the picture for now...
I dropped into my local Wholesale Sports Outdoor Outfitters today just to have a look around and walked out with a Champion .22 Caliber Bullet Trap. I figured the time had come to stop using cardboard boxes as my backstops, sure I have lots of backyard and so safety is not an issue but I think this new Champion Bullet Trap will work well for me!
One really nice feature about the Champion Bullet Trap is that it's rated to shoot right up to .22 caliber rimfire bullets (no magnums), so I can use my Henry .22 rimfire Lever action rifle with it too.
I am hoping that it will trap BB's OK, if they tend to get a little lively in it I may have to through a little cardboard in behind my target paper.
The only trouble I encountered was getting it home as I brought my Kawasaki KLX250SF motorcycle with me on this trip but fortunately I had installed a rack on the back that the Champion Bullet Trap fit nicely on to.
One thing that can really add functionality but also give your gun that customized look is a Fore-grip and or a Bipod. I've added two Fore-grips for you to choose from and a really nice barrel mounted quick release Bipod.
NcSTAR - Tactical Fore-grip (with rail)
C$21.00
Â
NcSTAR - AR-15 Heavy Duty Fore-grip
C$45.00
Â
NcSTAR - Quick Release Uni-Bipod
C$45.00

You can always have some more holsters, everyones needs are different! Some like it discrete and some like to lay it all out for everyone to see. Now to go with our already existing Beretta 92FS Leather Belt Holster, Nylon Laser Holster and Nylon Shoulder Holster we have two more for you to choose from.
I did have one pistol laser in the Replica Airguns Store but I really wanted to add some more variety, especially when it came to Tactical Lights since I didn't have any of these yet. I picked out a nice selection of lights and lasers from NcSTAR that should fill most requirements for your rifle or pistol.
I am really focused on adding more products all the time to the Replica Airguns Store and one product that was completely missing was rifle scopes.
I just listed 4 new scopes from NcSTAR:
NcSTAR - 6 X 32 Scope with Rings
C$49.00
Â
NcSTAR - 6 X 42 Scope with High Rings
C$59.00
Â
NcSTAR - 3 X 9 X 40 Scope with High Rings
C$49.00
Â
NcSTAR - 3 X 9 X 40 Illuminated Scope with High Rings
C$85.00

I already have a customized full auto Drozd Blackbird who can pass up another Dorzd when the price is right! I will be making a double Drozd video down the road :)
My new Classic Drozd came with the Full Auto mod chip, the JimC hand made barrel, a 68ci Nitro Duck 4500 PSI carbon fiber tank and bulk air hose.
I also got the Red Dot scope with my new purchase but used one of my rial risers that fit perfectly giving my new Drozd an AR look to it.
We are starting to get a fair amount of Beretta 92FS styled guns over here at Replica Airguns so I thought it would be nice to have a custom hand made hip holster that perfectly fits the Beretta 92FS styled hand gun.
The one we brought in is custom hand made out of black leather with basket weave detailing, a real high quality belt holster that fits perfectly on your hip.
This fine holster fits many of the Beretta 92 FS styled guns like the:

It's no secret we sell airgun over at the Replica Airguns Store but I added another pretty necessary accessory to the store a bit ago, and that would be CO2, lord knows I go through lots of it!
We now have CO2 available Individually for 99 cents per CO2 cartridge. We also sell it in 50 Unit quantities which works out to 70 cents per CO2 cartridge and if you're expecting a Zombie attach any time soon you can even buy our 400 Unit Pack which works out to 50 cents per CO2 but who's counting money at that point, your just glad to still be alive!
We just got in some Wood Grips for your Zoraki 914. Well technically they are plastic but they look like wood! We have limited supplies of these real imitation wood grain grips and once they are gone they may be gone for ever - or at least till we get some more. That is if we can get some more, it's really hard to say?
This may not be a big deal to most of you but if you happen to own or are thinking about getting a Webley Alecto in either a .177 caliber or .22 caliber pellet version, and you are a left handed shooter... then having the appropriate grips is going to make life just a little easier for you!
If you haven't taken a look at the Webley Alecto, maybe you should because it is a pretty amazing Pellet Pistol for target or pest control.
