After my Umarex Walther PPK/S Revisit Videos several people commented about comparing the Umarex Walther PPK/S to some more similar Compact Blowback Airguns other than the KWC Makarov PM. The Sig Sauer 936 came up a few times and so I figured I would see what I could find in terms of some other compact CO2 Blowback BB Pistols.

I picked out a total of 4 other CO2 4.5mm BB Pistols that where compact, had blowback action and shot all around a similar fps or velocity and decided on the Sig Sauer P365 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol, the Umarex Walther PPS M2 CO2 Blowback BB Pistol, the ASG Bersa BP9CC CO2 Blowback BB Pistol and lastly the Umarex Beretta Mod 84FS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol.

In this video I take a look at them all and go over some basic specs and design features for each Blowback CO2 BB Pistol. I will be following this table top compassion with an Indoor Field Test Shooting Comparison for each of these Air Pistols.

This is both a revisit and a comparison Field Test Shooting Video all wrapped up into one so hold onto your socks! Make sure to watch my Table Top Revisit for the Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol where I go over the importance of this gun and how it started things off not only for Umarex but also Replica Airguns!

As always with my Indoor Filed Test Shooting Videos I test out the velocity of each Airgun along with the accuracy but in this case I want to see how a nearly 20 year old Blowback BB Pistol stacks up agains a much more modern similar BB Pistol. The closest CO2 Powered Blowback BB Pistol to the Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol as far as I could tell was the KWC Makarov Full Blowback BB Pistol since both are about the same size, share a similar look and design, have similar velocities and should perform relatively the same.

View fullsize

I’m not going to give it all alway in this written version of my Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol Field Test Revisit, so you will ahed to watch my YouTube Video to find out. I will say both guns performed well and for the first ever working slide with simulated blowback action BB pistol ever made, I would say it holds its own against todays more modern airgun designs.

Way back in 2006 I made a video called the World Smallest Full Auto BB Pistol and uploaded it to YouTube then I kind of forgot about it fro a while… A few months later I went back and checked on it and had received around 100,000 video views and I lost my mind for a bit. It made me wonder perhaps if people wanted to see more Airgun Videos so I started making the occasional Airguns Video when I bought a new Airgun and uploaded them to YouTube. They kept getting decent views and people seemed to want to watch them so I decided maybe starting an Airgun Blog that I could link my YouTube Videos to would be something people would be interested in?

View fullsize

Well that was how the Replica Airguns YouTube Channel and Website all began and since then things have really grown with over 300 thousand Subscribers, 138 million Video Views and over a thousand Video made to date.

I figures it was time to take a look back at the Airgun that started things all off and see if it still stands up to the newer Airguns on the market. That Airgun is the Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol which by the way was Umarex’s first ever BB Pistol and was also the first BB pistol to have a working blowback slide. I tried to find out exactly when the Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol went into production but could not find this exact info but I’m guessing it is around 20 years old by now.

View fullsize

As far as I know there are no new Walther PPK or PPK/S Steel BB pistols on the market, perhaps some in 6mm Airsoft versions so the closest 4.5mm BB Airgun I could compare it to was the Makarov line of Airguns, Umarex and KWC have made versions of the Makarov including the original Umarex non blowback all metal Makarov, the Umarex Legends Blowback Makarov Ultra and the KWC Full Blowback Makarov PM. Of course there is the Baikal Makarov but that is a gun that is hard to compare to other Airguns so I left that one out of the picture.

In this video I compare the Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol to the newer Makarov BB Pistols to see if it holds up at least in terms of appearance and features and to be honest other than the plastic stick magazine it really does hold up considering its age and how much time Airgun Manufacturers have had to make improvements over the years.

Make sure to watch this video to see how the Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol compares to todays modern Airguns and stay posted for my shooting comparison where I test out the much older Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 Blowback BB Pistol to the much newer KWC Makarov PM in the Replica Airguns Indoor Shooting Range.

This is a bit of a different test than my usual Indoor Field Test Shooting Video I make here in the Replica Airguns indoor shooting range. I don’t test the feet per second with my Chronograph, I don’t test how accurate each gun is shooting in semi auto. Instead this Full Auto BB Rifle comparisons is to find out which Full Auto BB rifle has the highest rate of fire and which one stays on target the best shooting 25 rounds in full auto, all in one burst.

The guns I use of this Full Auto BB Rifle Full Auto Rate of Fire and Accuracy Test are:

• Crosman DMPS SBR Full Auto BB Rifle

• Crosman AK1 Full Auto BB Rifle

• Umarex Legends Thompson M1A1 Full Auto BB Rifle

• Umarex Legends MP Full Auto BB Rifle

• KWC Mini UZI Full Auto BB Gun

I made a video a little bit ago talking about how Canada’s new Bill C-21 will affect pretty every gun owner in Canada including even airgun owners of BB, Pellet Airsoft and even Paintball Guns. Make sure to watch that video first called Bill C-21 Canada is Going After Your Red Ryder BB Gun.

This video is all about how you can get involved in making some waves by signing two online petitions along with contacting your local Member of Parliament and letting them know your disapproval of Bill C-21 and all that it imposes on law abiding Canadian gun owners.

Probably the most important online petition to sign would be the House of Commons Petition E-3201 Bill C-21 so make sure to sign that one!

The other online e-petition we need to sign is the change.org petition.

And lastly but also super important is to send an email to your local member of Parliament again let them know your disapproval of Bill C-21. I have included a link to the web[age where you can locate your local MP and below that is a template of what you could include in your email to them.

https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Sign/e-3201

Dear (MP),

I am a constituent in your riding. I am writing to you to voice my concerns over the new provisions that were announced under the proposed Bill C-21, and how this will impact myself, my community and many other Canadians.

"Criminal Code 1 (1) The definition replica firearm in subsection 84(1) of the Criminal Code is replaced by the following:

replica firearm means any device that is designed or intended to exactly resemble, or to resemble with near precision, a firearm that is designed or adapted to discharge a shot, bullet or other projectile at a muzzle velocity exceeding 152.4 m per second and at a muzzle energy exceeding 5.7 Joules, and that itself is not a firearm, but does not include any such device that is designed or intended to exactly resemble, or to resemble with near precision, an antique firearm; (réplique)

(2) Section 84 of the Act is amended by adding the following after subsection (3.1): Certain firearms deemed to be prohibited devices

(3.2) For the purposes of sections 99 to 101, 103 to 107 and 117.03, a firearm is deemed to be a prohibited device if

(a) it is proved that the firearm is not designed or adapted to discharge a shot, bullet or other projectile at a muzzle velocity exceeding 152.4 m per second or at a muzzle energy exceeding 5.7 Joules; and (b) the firearm is designed or intended to exactly resemble, or to resemble with near precision, a firearm, other than an antique firearm, that is designed or adapted to discharge a shot, bullet or other projectile at a muzzle velocity exceeding 152.4 m per second and at a muzzle energy exceeding 5.7 Joules."

Make sure to also sign ePetition e-3201 to put a stop to Bill C-21:

https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Sign/e-3201

The long and short of it, Bill C-21 is an attack on law abiding Canadian gun owners and goes so far as to include the Daisy Red Ryder BB gun and many other Airguns as a Prohibited Firearm in Canada.

I am not a Lawyer or Bureaucrat so this video is my personal take on how I perceive the new Gun laws and Bill C-21. Please do your own investigation on these new laws and come to your own conclusions.

I don’t ask this often, please like and share this video with as many people as you can in Canada and outside of Canada. This is a new level of attack on Canadian Gun rights and we need to stand up for our gun rights or there will be no more guns in Canada eventually. This could happened in your country and has already happened in many others.

So how did we get here… Back in May of 2020 Trudeau (without going through Parliament) banned some 1500 (what he referred to as) Assault rifles. For the most part but not exclusive to, anything that looks scary with a semi auto action. Many rifles with semi auto actions that did not look scary where not on this banned list. Some bolt action rifles and even shotguns made it to this banned list of guns deemed by Trudeau as dangerous Assault Rifles.

Bill C-21 is now going after handguns in a similar capacity along with any Airgun that looks like a Firearm. 

In this video I am going to focus mainly on the Airgun side of how Bill C-21 effects Canadians so we are talking about BB Guns, Pellet Guns, Airsoft Guns, even Paintball Guns. But do understand if you own a handgun or even a rifle, Bill C-21 is coming after many of those guns as well making them literally impossible to own and use in any capacity other than keeping them in a safe at all times until you die in which it has to be relinquished without payment to the government.

How does Bill C-21 effect Airguns? Previously most Airguns where classified as Firearms but where unregulated so they didn’t require registration or even a Firearms license to sell, buy, own or use. Bill C-21 wants to make any Airgun that looks like a firearm (other than an antique firearm) prohibited. This means you will not be able to import, sell, or buy them in Canada. You will be able to keep your existing Prohibited Airguns but with extensive limitations on how you can keep and use them. Basically no use at all.

For the most part you will want to keep your now prohibited Airguns in a gun safe at home at all times or you risk having them confiscated from you since if you are transporting or using an Airgun, the police have the right to ask you to produce a Prohibited Firearms license which if I am not mistaken has not been made available since 1991, so the vast majority of gun owners especially none license holding Airgun owners do not have a Prohibited Firearms license nor is there any way to obtain such a license. How convenient!

Who does Bill C-21 effect? Firearms in Canada is a Multi Billion dollar industry and Airguns are an ever growing part of that industry. Bill C-21 effects Importers, Wholesalers, Retailers, Gun Ranges, Airsoft Fields, Gun Organizations, Gun Groups and of course every Firearm and Airgun owner in Canada. Bill C-21 wants to eliminate many aspects of the firearms Industry in Canada putting large and small business out of business. Replica Airguns will be gone if Bill C-21 passes in Canada, a business I founded and have been part of for over 15 years affecting many employees, families and of course customers.

How will Bill C-21 by eliminating the vast majority of Airguns in Canada keep Canadians safer and save lives as it proposes? I’m tryin to wrap my head around this one… So please tell me how many Pellet Rifles where used in mass shootings? How many drive by shootings involved Paintball guns? How many suicides have there been with BB pistols? How many police officers have died at the hands of an Airsoft wielding mad person? I’m going out on a limb here to say probably zero. And if any of these Airguns had been used in any of these situations that would have been a good thing because no lives would have been lost perhaps except for the user of the Airgun.

I want to end this video off with an example and an analogy of just exactly how ridiculous Bill C-21 is and how it will do absolutely zero to protect Canadians from criminals.

• Daisy Red Ryder BB Rifle (1940) Will now be a Prohibited Firearm in Canada

• Crosman 38T Pellet Revolver (1964) Will now be a Prohibited Firearm in Canada

• Crosman 357 Pellet Revolver (1983) Will now be a Prohibited Firearm in Canada

• Air-Ordnance SMG 22 Caliber Full Auto Machine Gun (Modern Airgun) Currently and even after Bill C-21 will be an Unregulated Firearm in Canada with no license or registration required.

Analogy of how Bill C-21 is supposed to Make Canadians Safer:

Bill C-21 is going after law abiding Licensed and Registered gun owners and only allowing them to keep their now Prohibited Guns but not allowed them to use their prohibited guns in any capacity. Prohibited guns must be in a safe at all times unloaded and locked. You are not allowed to transfer them anywhere, you are not allowed to sell, loan or give them to another person, and upon death the prohibited gun/s must be relinquish to the Government. According to Bill C-21 this is apparently going to help stop non license holding non gun registered criminals from committing gun related crimes that for the most part do not obtain their firearms legally.

This is like saying that ICBC (Canadas Vehicle Insurance Agency) has looked into motor vehicle accidents and found that a high majority of vehicle accidents are caused by people that do not have drivers licenses and that do not have registered or insured vehicles, furthermore ICBC has come to the conclusion that vehicles related to these accidents often times are import sedans that have been lowered and tuned. So in order to reduce car accidents ICBC will be focusing on drivers with drivers licenses and registered and license vehicles that fit this description and any other vehicle they deem a possible threat , these registered and licensed vehicle owners will still be allowed to own their vehicles that fit this criteria and have them registered but they will not be allowed to drive their vehicle/s anymore. Their vehicle/s must be kept in the garage at all times and never driven. You can not sell or loan your vehicle/s to anyone and these vehicle/s will not be allowed to be imported, bought or sold anymore in Canada. Once you die your vehicle/s are relinquished by the Government without payment no matter what their assessed value.

I wanted to compare the KWC/Cybergun PT 24/7 G1/G2 BB and Airsoft Pistols to each other in the Replica Airguns Indoor Airgun Shooting Range to see how they compare side by side not only in terms of accuracy but also what their Feet Per Second Velocity performance would be.

Like all my Field Test Shooting Videos I place 5 rounds through my Chronograph and average out the fps to see what their real world velocity is using a brand new CO2 along with standard 4.5mm Steel BB’s and .25 gram 6mm Plastic Airsoft BB’s. I then place a paper target 30 feet down range and proceed to put 10 rounds from each gun into a fresh paper target to see not only how close the Airguns shoot to the bullseye out of the box but also how close each 10 round grouping is.

View fullsize

All of the KWC Cybergun Taurus PT 24/7 G1/G2 BB and Airsoft Pistols performed fairly well, the KWC PT 24/7 G1 NBB Steel BB Pistol as expected had the highest velocity at close to 400 fps while the KWC PT 24/7 G2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol with the slightly heavier then normal Airsoft Plastic BB’s shot closer to 300 fps. The KWC PT 24/7 G2 Blowback Steel BB Pistol shot just over 300 fps.

In terms of accuracy The KWC PT 24/7 G1 NBB Steel BB Pistol had one of the tighter grouping close to 2 inches but shot a fair amount to the left of the bullseye. The KWC PT 24/7 G2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol shot well centered left to right but low on the target with a spread of just over two inches and the KWC PT 24/7 G2 Blowback Steel BB Pistol was the most centered on target getting again close to a two inch grouping.

I do like the KWC Cybergun Taurus PT 24/7 G1/G2 BB and Airsoft series of Airguns and personally prefer the newer Blowback G2 models but to each their own.

When we have multi potions for a specificities model of Airgun I like to compare them to each other to understand the similarities and differences of each Airgun. Often time the differences are as simple as what ammo they use, if they have licensing or not, who they are distributed through, slightly model revision and of course some cosmetic differences.

In this YouTube Video Comparison I lock at the the KWC Cybergun Taurus PT 24/7 G1/G2 BB and Airsoft lineup and go over their similarities and differences so you can decide which one may be right for you.

• KWC 24/7 CO2 NBB Steel BB (300 fps 21rounds)

• KWC 24/7 CO2 NBB Airsoft BB (393 fps 15 rounds)

• KWC 24/7 G2 CO2 Blowback Steel BB (344 fps 16 rounds)

• KWC 24/7 G2 CO2 Airsoft Steel BB (439 fps 16 rounds)

I often have people ask me what is more powerful in terms of one gun over another and which Airguns have more raw power, BB versus, Pellet, versus Airsoft, versus Paintball?

Well in this indoor field test shooting video I compare all of the above head to head to see which Airgun not only has the most raw power but also how well they perform on a target setup 30 feet down range since after all what does it matter how powerful a gun is if it can not hit the target!

The Airguns I used in this head to head shooting performance test where as follows:

• EKOL ES 55 Non Blowback 4.5mm BB Pistol

• Umarex Desert Eagle Blowback .177 Cal. Pellet Pistol

• Cybergun Desert Eagle Blowback 6mm Airsoft Pistol

• Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Cal. Paintball Revolver

Keep in mind the ammunition for each Airgun is very different not just in terms of materials but also their weight which will have a big effect on the energy they produce. For example for this test I used 4.6 grain 4.5mm Steel BBs, 4.6 grain 6mm Aluminum Airsoft BB’s. 6.9 grain .177 cal. Lead Pellets and 17.7 grain .50 cal. Rubber Paintballs.

Watch my YouTube Video to see how well each Airgun did in this comparison shooting test!

So here it is, my Field Test Shooting review for the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle. Crosman let me in on their upcoming AK1 BB rifle at SHOT Show this year even though no sample was available at the time but since then I have been eagerly anticipating its arrival!

For this Field Test Shooting Review I test out the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle as I do with all my Airguns by first finding out if the velocity matches up with the claimed fps by the company. I do this by using fresh CO2 in the Airgun and making sure the room temperature is in or around the mid temperatures, in this case just over 20 degrees Celsius or just over 68 degrees Fahrenheit. I follow up my velocity test with an accuracy test shooting 10 rounds at a paper target from 30 feet away using a rested and seated shooting position. With full auto Airguns I like to follow up with some full auto shots in this case I did a full mag dump of 28 round to see how well the BB’s stayed one target.

View fullsize

For my velocity test I placed six 5.1 grain steel BB’s through my Chronograph using a mostly brand new pair of CO2 cartridges. I had shot around 8-10 BB’s before hand to make sure my Red Dot was sighed in close to the bullseye. The shot fps spread was 427 as the fastest and 407 fps for the slowest averaging 415 fps which is fairly close to the maximum fps of 430 claimed by Crosman. I can see the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle easily hitting 430 fps or even over in warmer conditions.

View fullsize

Next I setup a brand new paper target 30 feet downrange and carefully placed 10 rounds into the paper using my Red Dot sight. The Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle grouped right around 1.5-2 inches, I’m pretty sure it is capable of getting even sub 1 inch groupings with a little bit of time behind the trigger. I then did a full 28 round magazine dump which the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle unloaded in just under 2 seconds and as expected the groping did spread out a bit more to perhaps 4 inches or so. The grouping did also drop down a little bit compared to the semi auto grouping but this could be from the full auto blowback rocking of the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle.

As kind of expected the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle performed a lot like the other Crosman AR line of Full Auto BB Rifles which is a good thing since so far none of them have let me down. Now we have yet another choice in Full Auto BB Airguns, so if you’ve been waiting for or looking for an AK version this may be your only choice to date in a steel BB Blowback version, that said it is not a bad choice at all!

Accuracy: I have not made my Field Test Shooting Video just yet for the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle but it is a high priority on my list and will most likely be my next YouTube video that I make so stay posted for that. That said I expect it to perform much like the Crosman AR series of Full Auto BB Rifles so check those video out in the mean time.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle is well made all around. Weighing in at 8 pounds without any add on accessories it feels solid and well built. There is a lot of metal going on inside and outside on this rifle but keep in mind the external receiver is plastic with metal parts where they need to be like in the internals, pretty much all the working parts are metal, the charging handle and bolt, the barrel, the swing out buffer tub, the trigger, trigger guard, magazine release and selector lever are all metal along with the rear sight.

View fullsize

Realism: The Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle for sure looks the part of an AK but in a more modernized version with its fold out AR compatible adjustable rear stock and quad rail setup. Even the pistol grip can be swapped out for an AK type pistol grip. Most of the mechanical parts work as expected as in the selector lever, charging handle, magazine release and even the rear adjustable and removable sight. the only slight letdown is perhaps not being able to easily field strip the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle similar to the real steel version so no the top dust cover does not pop off allowing access to the internals.

View fullsize

Pros:

• Super realistic working AK 4.5mm BB rifle, pretty much the only blowback BB AK Rifle on the market.

• Full blowback operation with both semi and full auto shooting, can feel the blowback operation rocking the gun.

• Great weight and feel to it at 8 pounds.

• Almost everything works exactly like the real steel version. (Charging handle, magazine release, selector switch).

• Duel CO2 metal and plastic drop out magazine that holds the 28 4.5mm steel BB’s as well.

• AR Compatible 5 position adjustable fold out butt stock.

• AK compatible pistol grips.

• Rear sight is removable and adjustable for elevation on the fly.

• Lots of rails for mounting additional cool hardware.

• Removable generic reverse thread flash hider.

View fullsize

Cons:

• Receiver is plastic but well made and does not compromise feel or weight since there is lots of metal throughout this gun.

• Not field strippable.

• Flash hider is not my style but can be swapped out easily.

Comments:

The Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle is essentially an AK version fo the Crosman AR Series of Full Auto CO2 powered BB Rifles which is a wonderful thing since there really are not many AK type BB Rifles out there. Even in Airsoft it seems most rifles are based on the AR platform so this is very refreshing. Crosman has had a few years now to perfect the internal operation of their Full Auto BB Rifle lineup so I expect the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle to preform just as well as the other AR versions. Other then not being able to field strip the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifle I am extremely pleased with it so far without yet Field Testing it. Keep them coming Crosman!

I am super excite to showcase three awesome rifles in this Update Preview Unboxing Video. Two of which are Airsoft and one is a Steel BB shooter, all of which are semi and full auto selectable. In this video I do a bit of an unboxing and preview of each Rifle not going into too much detail as I want to leave most of the information for my Table Top and Filed Test Videos. The main purpose of this video is to let everyone know we have these Rifles in our Canada Replica Airguns Store now for sale.

I may as well talk about them in the order they appear in my video so lets start with the ICS CXP APE AEG Airsoft Rifle. The ICS CXP APE AEG Airsoft Rifle is a mostly metal Electric Airsoft Rifle with realistic electronic blowback operation along with a CNC machined aluminum upper and lower receiver. It comes with a hi-cap 300 round magazine and a Ver 2 Full Metal ICS Split Type Gearbox. The ICS CXP APE AEG Airsoft Rifle weighs in at just under 3kg.

Next I showcase the G&G SMC9 GBB Airsoft Carbine, a unique product that converts the G&G GTP9 pistol into a a semi and full auto Carbine and includes a 50 round extended magazine, there is an even higher capacity drum magazine made for this product! You will find a fold out stock along with a CNC Machined MLOK Rail for additional mounting options.

Last but perhaps one that I have been the most eagerly anticipating is the Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback BB Rifle a twin CO2 Blowback 4.5mm Semi and Full auto AK style BB Rifle, finally a decent AK BB Rifle! The Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback BB Rifle has a claimed fps of 430 and shoots 1400 rounds per minute in full auto, very similar to the Crosman DPMS series of AR styled CO2 Blowback Full Auto BB Rifles. The Crosman AK1 CO2 Blowback BB Rifle comes with a 25 round magazine and swing out rear adjustable stock.

Make sure to watch Part 1 of my Umarex Glock Co2 BB Pistol Shootout where I compare the Velocity/PFS for each of these Umarex Glock Replica CO2 BB Pistols.

If you are interested more in the specifications and details fo reach of these Umarex Glock Licensed Air Pistols you can watch my Table Top Comparison Video where I go into the details and explain the differences of these Glock CO2 BB Pistols.

In Part 2 I test out how accurate each of these Umarex Glock Licensed Air Pistols is side by side to see if Non-blowback versus Partial-blowback versus Full-blowback makes much of a difference? The results may surprise you a little bit so make sure to watch the entire video to see how which Umarex Glock CO2 BB Pistol performs shooting at a paper target from 30 feet away using a rested and seated shooting position for best results.

In this Vimeo Shootout Comparison Video I test head to head four Umarex CO2 BB GLock Air Pistols to see what the real world FPS is for each of them and I also give a little bit of my feedback on them at the end of the video. If you are wondering about their accuracy that will be covered in my next video coming out really soon…

And by the way I you want a little more info on these four Umarex Glock Air Pistols then Checkout my Table Top Comparison Video I made earlier for them.

Here are the Umarex Glock CO2 BB Pistols I test out in this Video Review:

I have review all three of these super fun Full Auto CO2 BB Rifles so make sure to watch those YouTube Field Test Video Shooting Reviews to see how they performed on their own in the Sea Can Indoor Airgun Shooting Range.

• Crosman R1 CO2 Full Auto BB Rifle

• Umarex MP CO2 Full Auto BB Rifle

• Umarex Legends M1A1 CO2 Full Auto BB Rifle

In this Field Test Shooting Video I have a little bit of fun to see which of the three Full Auto CO2 BB Rifles is the King in terms of FPS Velocity and all out full auto mag dump acuracy.

All there of these BB Rifles are awesome and I highly recommend picking one up or maybe even all of them! You can get them in our Canada and US Replica Airgun Stores…

Perhaps you might call this a followup video since I already made a full Field Test Shooting Video of the all black version of this pistol and you may wonder if the color of a gun could in some way effect how it performs? Well I don’t think color would really matter but it has been over 6 years since I did my original Field Test Shooting video fo the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver and so perhaps some things have changed, maybe my shooting is better or worse? At any rate let’s find out.

Also make sure to take a look at my Table top Video for the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver if you're interested in the specifications and details along with some nice tight close up video of the Airgun.

Starting off with my Chronograph test I was able to get an average 6 shot velocity of 348 fps which is about 40 fps less than my testing 6 years ago of 390 fps, perhaps the temperatures where a bit different? Perhaps the valve setups of the guns was not the same? By the way the temperature was 23 degrees Celsius in the indoor Airgun Sea Can Shooting Range and I was using a brand new 12 gram CO2 along with 5.1 grain zinc coated steel BB’s.

Moving on to the accuracy test, surely I would get a similar 1 inch 6 shot grouping from the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver, after all it’s been 6 years and I must be a much more advanced shooter… Well there again the Chrome Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum CO2 BB Revolver did not perform as well as the black one from my 2014 Field Test? Again maybe the steel BB’s I was using where not of the same quality? Maybe I simply had one too many espresso shots? As the video shows this time around I was only able to get about a 2 inch 6 shot grouping from the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver. Still not bad but I was hoping for better result or at least the same as before.

I could do this test again and get completely different results using perhaps another brand of CO2 on a warmer day with higher quality Steel BB’s and just maybe with me on my game a little bit better? At the end of the day 350 fps is perfectly fine for putting holes in pop cans and a 2 inch group at 30 feet will get you on most targets every time so I’m not going to sweat it too much. If you are looking for a shell loading CO2 BB Revolver the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver is for sure one of my top picks.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver is good in both single and double action, it’s nice that you have the shorter lighter single action trigger for slower more accurate shooting but you can also blast away in double action when you feel like it. The hammer on the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver is firm with not very much wiggle which some other revolvers in this category do have.

Accuracy: Based on my results shooting the Umarex Colt Python 357 which is essentially the same gun in a different finish. The results I got shooting my 6 round group from a 30 foot out semi rested position where good overall. Vertically there was about a 2 inch spread while horizontally there was about a 1 inch spread. I did find the plastic tips on the brass shells seemed to be a bit tight at first and this is when I did most of my Chronograph and target shooting. I believe the tightness effected the consistency of the FPS which also effected the accuracy especially up and down. I did get one shot out of the Umarex Colt Python 357 well over the claimed 400 fps but again the fps was rather erratic most likely because of the snug BB fit due to shell break-in.

Build Quality: The Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver being mostly metal has a very good build quality and is on par with the Dan Wesson 715 shell loading revolver. It has a nice weigth adn balance to it and feels really good in the hand! The only real plastic I could find was in the grips and the shell tips. Fit and finish was also good with no noticeable chrome wear or sloppy workmanship. It will be interesting to see how the Chrome finish wears over time compared to the black finishes fodun on most KWC made Airguns.

Realism: TheUmarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver overall is a close copy a the real steel Colt Python 357 styled revolver. I did notice the rear portion of the receiver (between the rear cylinder and hammer) to be a bit longer perhaps to accommodate the CO2 valve length, but other than that, this pistol is super close to the original Colt Python 357 styled revolver it is based on. Again being all metal gives this CO2 BB revolver very realistic weight and feel and the loadable brass shells make using this gun almost exactly like using a real shell loading revolver but for much less cost per shot and of course a lot less recoil on the hands and noise to be had.

Pros:

• Shells loading revolver give you the feeling of loading and shooting a real revolver.

• Mostly all metal design.

• Lots of detail, well made, chrome looks nice, not sure if it will wear better than the black finish found on most KWC made pistols?

• Good overall weight, almost 3 pounds.

• Should have good overall power, accuracy and shots per CO2 (based on my previous Colt Python testing).

• Fully adjustable sights.

• Well hidden CO2 Screw.

• Recessed barrel.

• Nice Trigger pull in both single and double action.

Cons:

• Grips are a bit rough and wood grain is only OK.

• Grips may be a bit large for people with small hands.

• Decent enough Colt Python 357 replica but the frame is a bit long between the cylinder and the hammer.

Comments:

It’s been a while since I reviewed a Shell Loading Airgun and this one is pretty much the same Airgun I have reviewed in the past in both the KWC and Umarex Distributed forms. It has been almost 6 years since I took a look at one on my table and it still hods up today. I plan on performing another Field Test Shooting Review for the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver to see if I can replicate the same good results I did back in 2014 when I tested it out on my deck. If you’re looking for a shell loading revolver in the 357 design then for sure checkout the Umarex Colt Python 357 Magnum Chrome CO2 BB Revolver as an option.

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.

You’ve seen them all before but have you seen them in this exact configuration? All the Airguns I show off in this video are made by KWC and generally come in either Steel BB and or Airsoft versions along with non-blowback and blowback versions. You can even find most of them redistributed by other companies like Umarex, Cybergun, Gletcher, Crosman and others even licensed in some cases.

The versions I am showing today I have not review yet in these exact configuration and all of them are the KWC made and distributed unlicensed versions, so nice and clean with virtually none of that ugly white lettering on them…
