I Got The Rona

No Comments

After about 4 years or so of not getting sick at all, I was almost starting to think I was impervious to viruses and colds and flues and then it finally happened… I got the Rona.

Now I am not 100% sure if it is the Rona since I have not been tested yet but all signs indicate it’s probably Omicron. I have ordered some antibody tests that I expect to come in shortly, I will be checking my blood for Covid-19 Antibodies once I know my body has had enough time to make them after getting sick this time.

In this video I talk about my symptoms and how I felt start to finish getting the Rona. I can say at least for me it was not big deal, the soar throat was probably the worst of it for me.

No Comments

Wow, an accessory review, not many of these :) Today I take a look at the Amomax Airsoft Airgun Holster product line since at some point you may want to put your gun in a holster or practice drawing your gun from a holster?

The good news is we just got in a decent amount of product for our Amomax Airsoft Airgun Holsters. Here is a bit of info about Amomax but of course make sure to watch the video as I take a good look at a few of the versions we sell in our Canada and US online Replica Airguns Stores.

Amomax holsters are compatible with 4 different carrying platforms :paddle (standard), belt clip, MOLLE, and drop leg platforms. All the carrying platforms can be replaced by only one screw. Users can carry them in daily use, outdoor sports, normal shooting training and competition. Holster will stay firmly on a belt, leg and MOLLE system even in fast moving situations with a quick release Retention System button that keeps the gun locked in place until you are ready to draw. Holster body and carrying platform are connected with a tooth gear that allows for 360 degrees of rotation. User can easily adjust the carrying position to fit their needs.

Amomax Holsters are currently available in the following versions:

Synco G1 (A2) Wireless Microphone Set Review

No Comments

As with most of the new tech I purchase or acquire that I will be using in my Videos for either my GetFitOver40 or ReplicaAirguns YouTube channels, I generally like to do some sort of a practical review for the item. In this case I take a look at the Synco G1 (A2) Wireless Microphone Set which is a pair of wireless transmitters that pair with a single dedicated receiver allowing me to quickly and easily capture good quality audio for my Videos.

For the past couple of years my go to microphone setup for my video was to use a generic lapel mic connected to my Samsung Galaxy Smartphone recording into an audio program. I would then send the audio file via dropbox to my computer where I would then line up the audio file with the video file in my video editing software to get a much higher quality and more clear voice recording versus what the camera mic would be able to capture.

This system has been working fairly well for me but required a somewhat cumbersome lapel cable and of course my bulky Smartphone in my pocket at all times but did allow me to be as far away from the camera as I wanted without any interference or loss of audio clarity.

After playing around with the Synco G1 (A2) Wireless Microphone System I have determined I will most likely simply be clipping the transmitter onto my shirt without the lavaliere mic plugged in and transmitting the audio into either my Samsung Smartphone or my iPad where I can then again dropbox the audio file to wherever I plan on editing the video.

This video was kind of a test to see how everything sounded in terms of the lapel mic versus the built in mic. What settings to use and how distance effected the audio signal and quality. Unfortunately the lapel mic was a bit close to my voice causing some distortion to occur but you can still hear what I am saying no problem. In the future I would place the lapel mic a bit further away from my voice lower down on my shirt or simply use the built in mic as it was not as sensitive to this distortion and seemed to handle louder volume much better than the lapel mic.

Bill C-21 Let's All Make Some Waves

1 Comment

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."

Insta360 One R 1 Inch Mod versus Sony RX 100 IV

No Comments

In this YouTube Video I test out my new Insta360 One R with the 1 Inch Mod, comparing it to my Sony RX 100 IV to see how they compare against each other.

It’s not really a fair comparison since my Sony RX 100 IV is now 5 or 6 years old which is a long time for a digital camera but it has been really good to me and provided some really great quality video over the years. Compare that to the Insta360 One R that is about a year on the market now and you would think the clear winner would be the Insta360 One R.

On it’s own the Insta360 One R with the standard 4k lens would perform well against the Sony RX 100 IV but the Sony RX 100 IV has a 1 inch sensor allowing it to get the most out of each pixel and since I primarily shoot in 1080p 60 frames per second I need to get as much out of each pixel as I can.

One really great feature about the Insta360 One R is that it is modular so I can swap the 4k module out for a 5.7 k 360 module or even a 1 inch 5.3k module allowing both the Insta360 One R and the Sony RX 100 IV to have that large 1 inch sensor keeping the comparison more inline with each other.

Some things to not that will make a big difference in quality and limitations for this video is that the Insta360 One R 1 Inch Mod was shot using 4k 60 fps while the Sony RX 100 IV was shot using 1080p 60fps. The Insta360 One R 1 Inch Mod has a fixed focus while the Sony RX 100 IV has a variable focus.

Anyway I will let you be the judge and decide which camera you like the look of the video for at least in this shooting situation.

Insta360 One R Camera Review

No Comments

This is by far not a full Review of the Insta360 One R Camera but rather more of my take on the Insta360 One R Camera and what it can do for me and how I plan on using it in by Replica Airguns and Get Fit Over 40 YouTube channels.

I talk about how the Insta360 One R Camera compares to a GoPro type camera and how it can also be much more than a typical action camera because of its ability to morph from one camera to a completely different type of camera because of its modular form factor. Not to mention possible future new hardware lenses and even main modules that could increase the ability of this camera even further.

SJCAM SJ10 Pro Action Front Top.jpg

Without the cool cameras there would be no cool Airgun videos and so when a company reached out to me and says… Hey, would you like to try out one of our new 4K Action cameras? I say sure! I can always use another high quality 4K camera for even more angles and who knows what else…

SJCAM SJ10 Pro Action Display.png

In this unboxing video I take a look at the SJCAM SJ10 Pro Action Camera to see what’s in the box obviously, what it looks like and what my first impressions of the SJCAM SJ10 Pro Action Camera are. I have to say the build quality is a lot better than I thought it was going to be, I’m pretty sure the main body is made out of metal and the crips looking lcd screen pretty much takes up the entire back of the camera. The camera is a lot smaller than I was expecting too which is a good thing since the more compact a camera is, the more likely I will be taking it along with me and using it.

Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun Field Test Review

No Comments

Make sure to watch my Table Top view for the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun where I take a closer look a talk about the specifications and go over the Pros and Cons.

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun to see what the fps velocity is when shooting in 3 and 6 round burst modes. I also shoot a target 30 feet away again in both 3 shot burst and 6 shot burst mode tor see what the accuracy and groupings look like.

Starting with the velocity performance of the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun. Using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s I placed several shots through my chronograph in 3 shot burst mode and averaged around 325 fps. When I switched over to 6 round burst mode the fps did not really change much averaging 321 fps. This was interesting since I thought adding Airsoft BB’s would slow the fps down but it did not.

I then setup a paper target 30 feet away to test out the accuracy or should I say grouping of the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun. I was not excepting any 1 or two inch groupings since the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun is designed to shoot like a shotgun and spread out the BB’s to some degree. I did find that the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun out of the box shot a bit low but the front sight is adjustable for elevation so this is easy to correct. In both 3 and 6 round burst mode hitting the approximate 1 foot by 1 foot target was no problem and at this distance I would say the Airsoft BB’s spread out about 3-4 inches form each otters in both 3 and 6 shot burst modes.

Overall the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun is a really fun Airsoft Shotgun to shoot. You get a lot of shots per green gas fill (around 100) and the fps is right on the money just over 300 fps both 3 and 6 shot burst. If you are looking for something a bit different then what most people are using on the field than the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun will for sure catch some looks.

Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Pump Action Shotgun.
Manufacturer: Jag Precision
Model: Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun.
Materials: Mostly aluminum metal construction.
Weight: 4 Pounds (1.8 kg).
Barrel Length: 11 inches
Total Length: 31 inches.
Propulsion: Green gas or propane
Action: Pump action 3/6 rounds burst.
Ammunition Type: 6mm Airsoft BB’s
Ammunition Capacity: 28-30 rounds per shell.
Max FPS: 350-400 fps.

Trigger Pull: Since the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun is a pump action shotgun you will need to work the pump action to load rounds into the barrel and cock the internal firing mechanism. The tigger is then engaged as a single action only trigger. The trigger pull is short and light. You can also hold the trigger down and pump the action for quick repetition shooting.

Accuracy: So far I have not tested the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun but will be making my Field Test Shooting Video later this week. I have played around with the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun and it seems to shoot pretty hard and the multi-round shots group fairly close together.

Build Quality: The build quality of the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun is excellent. Most of the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun is made out of aluminum with only a few parts made out of plastic including the pistol grips, rear stock and perhaps the side saddle for holding the shotguns shells/magazines.

Realism: The Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun is an awesome replica of a tactical fully tricked out pump action shotgun complete with AR accessories and rails for mounting whatever accessory you can dream of. Shells will not eject when pumping the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun since the shells are essentially the magazines holding up to 30 rounds each.

Pros:

  • Full metal construction (mostly aluminum)

  • Comes pretty much fully loaded, nothing really to add on unless you want to customize it.

  • Tons of shots per gas fill with expected good fps.

  • Fully adjustable and removable pop-up iron sights.

  • AR compatible pistol grip and but stock.

  • Multiple mounting points for a sling.

  • Side saddle holds 6 rounds, 2 more just in case can be placed in the magazine tube.

  • 3 or 6 round burst selectable.

  • The SPX2 comes in tan or black, lots of other options available.

  • Well priced for what you get compared to other gas Airsoft shotguns

Cons:

  • Does come with an orange tip but I am sure it can be removed.

  • Pump tube will show wear marks over time.

  • Will not be as accurate as an Airsoft rifle.

Comments:
The Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun is a really cool product. So far I have not come across a Green Gas Pump Action Airsoft Shotgun so this was a real treat for me. The build quality and the realism of the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun is what I really like. It feels like a real shotgun and even performs much like one. Having the ability to shoot either 3 or 6 round bursts is also nice. If you want more shots per shell load then you can use the 3 round option, likewise if you select 6 round burst for more ammo down range with each shot. I like that the Jag Arms SPX2 Scattergun Green Gas Airsoft Shotgun comes pretty much all tricked out so you really don’t need to spend additional money on a bunch of accessories which adds a lot of value to this purchase.

Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle Field Test Review

No Comments

Make sure to watch my Table Top view for the Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle where I take a closer look a talk about the specifications and go over the Pros and Cons.

Umarex claims the Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle will perform with 30% faster and farther shots than a similarly styled rifle. If you look up the average speed of a Nerf Gun on Google, Wikipedia says that it is a around 70 fps and Umarex claims 90+fps. I placed 7 shots through my Chronograph averaging 127 fps, the slowest shot was 100 fps and the fasters shot was 148 fps do a fairly big spread. faster shots hitting close to 150 fps will hurt so be careful!

Next I wanted to see if the Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle can actually hit a person sized target at around 30 feet which I feel would be about the max distance you would be shooting the Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle as you will probably using it indoors or outside but in close proximity. My paper target is about 1 foot by 1 foot in size which is around the same size as a human torso. If I can hit that from 30 feet then I should be able to hit a person. The Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle was able to reach out 30 feet no problem but during the last 10 feet the Nerf style darts did seem to veer off target. I was able to get some of the darts on target but found that at 20 feet it was way more consistent. So try and get in a bit closer if you want to be more sure of placing an accurate shot on target. By the way the dart will travel as far as 150 feet.

The Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle is for sure a step up from a standard Nerf rifle in terms of power, distance, quicker reloading and especially when it comes to realism as the Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle looks like a traditional AR Rifle rather than a toy gun like most Nerf gun designs. I figure why not grab a couple Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifles for when you get bored around the house.

Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle Table Top Review

1 Comment

Type: Nerf Type Gun.
Manufacturer: Umarex
Model: REKT OPFOUR.
Materials: Mostly plastic build with some internal metal parts.
Weight: 1 pound 8 oz (680 grams).
Length: 30 inches (762mm).
Propulsion: 12 gram CO2 x2.
Action: Pump single action.
Ammunition Type: Nerf type foam darts.
Ammunition Capacity: 12 rounds.
Max FPS: NA. Claimed 30% faster and 30% father than standard similar type Nerf spring pistols.

Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle is what you would expect form a single action only trigger. Very little take up with a crisp light release. When you pull the Free Grip back you are working the pump action which loads a dart into the breach and at the same time cocks the internal hammer/striker.

Accuracy: I haven’t performed my Field Test Shooting video for the Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle but I can say after play around with it I expect it to shoot a lot harder than 90 fps. When the dual CO2 system is fully charged I was getting some pretty ferociously fast shots form the Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle. I would say it was even able to shoot out into my yard at least 150+ feet. I was even a bit concerned shooting the Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle inside my house as it is possible to dent walls with the Nerf Darts. IN terms of accuracy it seems pretty good but I will know more once I have made my Field Test Shooting Video later this week.

Build Quality: The Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle is built pretty much exactly like other Umarex all plastic CO2 BB guns and that’s a good thing since they are pretty much bullet proof. I would even go on record to say the Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle is built better or should I say stronger than a Standard Nerf gun in terms of plastic thickness and even the fit and finish is very good.

Realism: One big advantage over most Nerf Guns is that the Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle looks a lot more like a real gun, it’s about the same size, has the same feel and looks a lot like a modern AR Rilfe other than the bright coloring going on. Ergonomically speaking the Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle would make a much better trainer than a Nerf gun since it is close to a one to one scale replica.

Pros:

  • No need to work a spring before each shot because of the CO2 power source.

  • More power and range than a traditional Nerf Gun.

  • More realistic looking than most Nerf Gun.

  • Like an Airsoft Gun but more usable indoors and less chance of injury.

  • Rear Peep sight is removable and can be swapped out.

  • Has a working selector switch safety.

  • Uses Standard Nerf Foam Darts.

  • Picatinny Rail top and sides for adding on accessories.

  • Dual CO2 system for extended shooting time before changing.

  • A great option for having some indoor fun!

Cons:

  • Will require CO2 x2.

  • May actually be a bit too powerful and can cause damage or injury if not careful?

  • More money than a traditional similar type Nerf rifles.

Comments:
The Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle may be the ideal indoor fun Nerf styled rifle right now while we are all staying at home a lot more these days. Sure you could use a standard Nerf Gun but having a CO2 powered AR-15 looking Nerf gun is way cooler! I like that the Umarex REKT OPFOUR CO2 Foam Dart Rifle is more realistic looking then a traditional Nerf Gun, perhaps the perfect intermediary gun if you want something between a Nerf Gun and an Airsoft Gun? If you’re interested in a pistol version of the REKT line of Nerf Dart shooting guns then checkout the REKT OPSIX.

Rx Target Systems Preview Video

No Comments

I want to thank David Bitkowski from Rx Target Systems for providing me with this sample unit to share with the Replica Airguns community. This video is only a Preview video as I wanted to get the RX Target System out there before I follow up with my actual Table Top and Shooting Videos for it.

For now here are some of the key points I want to get out to everyone:

Mission:
Rx Target Systems are meant to bridge the gap between firearms and airguns. They allow high precision shooting on a reactive, three- dimensional, rugged target that can be carted around in a back pack.  What makes Rx Target Systems unique is that it is a system. It is so modular and adaptable with interchangable faceplates and paddles. Rx Target Systems are not going to break or get dented or dissembled on the range as many of the lighter gauged steel targets on the market today vs today’s high powered airguns.

Modular 

  • One base allows interchange of faceplates for different target configurations 

  • One threaded axel allows interchange of paddle from 10 gauge to 3/8 inch-thick paddles 

Portable 

  • Mount it on a shelf indoors 

  • Mount it on a sawhorse outdoors  

  • Carry it in a backpack or duffle bag- its 10 pounds 

Rugged 

  • Solid steel design 

  • Faceplates from 10 gauge to ¼ inch thick 

3-Dimensional 

  • Faceplate is offset from paddles 

  • Clipping the aperture does not guarantee a score 

Intentions of target configurations 

  • Standard 1 inch bulls.- represents kill zone of many small game at 30 yards, great for sighting in prior to the hunt. Also is ¼ scale of bull used in rapid fire pistol when shot from 8.3 meters. (25 meters distance/100mm bull) 

  • 1.2 inch bulls- represents the 4-10 ring of the NRA 10 meter air rifle target. Gears the shooter to consistently hitting the “black” of that target on paper 

  • AAFTA style- represents common kill zones found in American Airgun Field Target Assosciation using 1.5”, 1”, ¾", ½", and 3/8”.  

  • WFTF style- represents common kill zones found in World Field Target Federation using 15mm, 25mm, and 38mm apertures 

  • 10-15- Inspired by customer request, uses 10mm and 15mm apertures.  High-Precision shooting.

Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol Field Test Review

2 Comments

The expectation is going to be high with the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol since it is called the “Super Target” right! In terms of 350 fps well I guess it’s not really anything to wright home about but for a target pistol this velocity is more than enough. What matters most is consistency of each shot as that can effect the trajectory which in tern will effect the elevation of each shot. At the end of the day with a Target Shooter like the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol what I’m really looking for is consistency.

Let’s start with the Chronograph portion of my Indoor Field Test Shooting Review for the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol. Sig Sauer says I will get around 350 fps and spoiler alert I got exactly 350 fps shooting a 3 shot string. I only shot 3 rounds since all shots where very close together at 353, 347 and 350 fps. Remember what I was saying about consistency, that’s pretty consistent. I was using Sig Sauer Wad Cutter Lead pellets for all of my testing and since the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is not a CO2 Airgun room temperature was not a factor.

Moving on to the accuracy portion of my testing for the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol. I was originally going to shoot 10 rounds but decided to go with 5 since between shots I need to open the Airgun, place a pellet in the barrel and then close and cock the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol. I then need to reset my hand position on the sand bag and place another shot on target. All of this really breaks up the shooting rhythm which makes it a bit harder to be as consistent when compared to simply pressing the trigger between shots. I was shooting 30 feet away from my paper target using a seated and rested shooting position. It’s kind of hard to say exactly how tight my grouping was since the paper ripped a bit but looking back later at the video I am pretty sure all of the shots where pretty much on top of each other getting under a 1/2 inch grouping. The ripping of the paper made it look like the grouping was larger than it was.

All in all the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is a very consistent and accurate Single Pump Pneumatic Target Air Pistol that I would agree with lives up to the name “Super Target”. Make sure to also checkout my Table Top Review for the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol where I go into the details and specification for the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target.

Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Pellet Taget Pistol.
Manufacturer: Sig Sauer ASP
Model: Sig Sauer ASP Super Target
Materials: Metal and Wood build.
Weight: 2.1 Pounds (953 grams).
Barrel: 7.5 inch steel rifled.
Propulsion: Single-shot over-lever single-stroke pneumatic.
Action: Single action 2-stage adjustable trigger.
Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 1 round.
FPS: 350.

Trigger Pull: The single action only trigger pull on the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is fantastic right out of the box. I personally felt no need or desire to tamper with it as the trigger is crazy short and very light. That said if you feel the need to play around with the trigger adjustments you can as the ASP Super Target has a 2-stage adjustable trigger.

Accuracy: So far I have not done my official Field Test Shooting Video for the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol , I did crack a few free standing shots down range in my Indoor Airgun Sea Can Shooting Range and was impressed with not only the trigger feel but how peppy the ASP Super Target felt. Sig claims a 350 fps velocity using lead .177 caliber pellets but I got the feeling they may have been moving faster than that? In terms of accuracy I was not shooting rested so it’s hard to say but I am expecting the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol to be a tac driver for the price that you will pay for one!

Build Quality: The build quality for Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is good, it feels solid and well made, the finish is also good but I did notice a slight casting imperfection on the front sight. I have found with Italian made Airguns they can sometimes have a few finishing flaws but overall they are mechanically very well made which is more important at the end of the day, but still for just under $500 Canadian I think this Precision Target Air Pistol should be near perfect!

Realism: The Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is designed after the Sig Sauer P210 9mm Pistol with some liberties taken to accommodate the single-stroke pneumatic internal pump and reservoir. For this reason it is not exactly a 1 to 1 scale replica of the Sig Sauer P210 but it is fully Sig Sauer licensed and looks close enough for what it is at the end of the day.

Pros:

  • Pretty much all metal and wood construction.

  • Fully adjustable rear sight as you would expect from a precision target pistol like this one.

  • Light 18 pound single-stroke cocking effect.

  • Sig Sauer Lisenced.

  • Made in Italy.

  • Comes in a nice hard shell Sig branded case.

  • Single action trigger is fully adjustable and feels amazing.

  • Claimed fps of 350 felt to me to be conservative, maybe we will see a little bit more out of the ASP Super Target?

  • Ambidextrous design suitable for left and right handers.

Cons:

  • A bit on the expensive side so it may be out of budget for some.

  • Not a true replica which is kind of expected as this is not a CO2 based airgun.

  • I found loading pellets in the barrel a bit tuff as it is recessed and harder for large fingers to access but loading got better as I used it.

Comments:

The Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is not going to be for everyone as it is on the high end and out of the price range of most. If you do have the budget for a high quality Precision Target Air Pistol and you are wanting it to look more like a traditional Real Steel Gun rather than an Air Target Pistol, then The Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is probably the most authentic looking option out there. I am really hoping it performs amazing during my Field Test Shooting Review so we can all justify the kind of up there price point.

Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP and ASP Super Target Pellet Gun Preview

No Comments

I have two new products from Sig Sauer Airgun devision to share with everyone here on the channel. They are both really different but I really like them both. Before I get into it I want to thank Sig Sauer for sending me both of these Airguns.

First up is the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus .22 Caliber PCP Air Rifle I showed y at SHOT Show this year. Well now it’s shipping and I have one :) At this time the only version of the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus .22 Caliber PCP Air Rifle is the 700 fps 12 not popguns version. This version is legal in Canada but you will need an unrestricted Firearms License since it falls under the definition of a non-centered fired long gun in the Canadian Firearms Act. Perhaps Sig Sauer will come out with a detuned version under 500 fps?

The Sig Sauer MCX Virtus .22 Caliber PCP Air Rifle uses a 13CI-3000PSI tank situated at the rear of the gun as part of the butt stock. You will need some sort of a pump or scuba pressurization system to refill the PCP tank which will get you up to 150 to 200 shots per fill up. The belt fed magazine holds 30 rounds which you can fire as fast as you can pull the semi auto trigger. By the way the trigger pull indexes the belt magazine while the PCP air pressure works the bolt allowing for a fairly smooth trigger pull. You will need to charge the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus .22 Caliber PCP Air Rifle before you start shooting.

The Sig Sauer MCX Virtus .22 Caliber PCP Air Rifle weighs in at 7.5 pounds, has a 17.5 inch barrel and a total length of 37.5 inches.

Next I show off the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pneumatic Precision Air Pistol modlelded after the Sig Sauer P210 Hadn't gun. The Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pneumatic Precision Pistol only requires 1 pump to get up to full FPS which is claimed bu Sig Sauer to be around 350 fps. I have a feeling that maybe it will shoot just a little bit faster based on my trial test shots. The Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pneumatic Precision Pistol has a full adjustable rear sight with a three stage single action trigger. Out of the box or should I say hard shell case the trigger feels really great. As expected with such a high end Match Grade Target Air Pistol you get real wood grips.

Stay posted for my Full Table Top and Field Test Shooting videos for both of these fine Sig Sauer Airguns.

Air Venturi SHOT Show 2020 Las Vegas Interview

No Comments

air-venturi.png

In this SHOT Show Las Vegas 2020 Interview Video Scott takes us through a range of new products from Air Venturi.

Scott and I talk about the Air Venturi TR5 and how it came about to fill the hole the Baikal MP-61 left behind. We also talk a look at some new Air Rifles, a pumper called the Butterfly with a super cool linkage based system that makes pumping a lot easier. A PCP side lever cocking Air Rifle that I’m not even sure has a name yet but will be available in .177 .22 and .25 caliber pellet for around $299 US.

The only Air Venturi replica we looked at is a new Springfield Armory under lever Spring Piston Air rifle modeled after the M1A. Last up Scott went showed us how the Bada Bang targeting system is shaping up and looks to be almost ready for production.

Comica WS60 UHF Dual Mini Wireless Microphone Combo Full Review

No Comments

The following product review for the Comica WS60 UHF Dual Mini Wireless Microphone Combo has nothing to do with Replica Airguns but as a YouTuber with a couple of YouTube channels, I have to make sure I not only have good quality video but also good quality audio when I make a YouTube Video for one of my channels.

After all if it sounds like I’m in a wind tunnel or the bat cave and you can not hear clearly what I’m saying then it can be very distracting for you the viewer to understand what I ‘m trying to share with you!

Perhaps you can also utilize a product like the Comica WS60 UHF Dual Mini Wireless Microphone Combo for your audio and video needs, which could also be for something social media related or even just for your own personal use to get the best quality home video and audio.

For the last couple of years I have been using a lapel mic more and more in my videos and I try to use one whenever possible since the audio is just so much better than the Microphone audio built into the camera. It's not that the camera mics are really all that bad, the problem is that most of the time the camera is simply not close enough to the person speaking so you tend to get a lot of background and room noise which makes the speaking audio sound distant with noticeable ambient noise and echo.

Generally I have been using a wired lapel mic that I record directly into my SmartPhone, which I place in my pocket while recording. I use a different camera to record my vide, I then sync the audio to the video in post production on my computer but this requires a bit of audio and video software know how. The advantage to a wireless setup is that you can record directly into the camera if it supports an audio input meaning no more requirements to sycn audio later and no long cord bwteen the audio source and the camera. A wireless setup usually is more compact and versatile. What I like about the Comica WS60 UHF Dual Mini Wireless Microphone Combo is the fact that it comes with two lapel mics that both have their own transmitter so they can be worn independently by two separate people, perfect for conducting interviews or even when you simply need a mic in more than one location.

In this Comica WS60 UHF Dual Mini Wireless Microphone Combo YouTube Video Review I first unbox the Comica WS60 UHF Dual Mini Wireless Microphone Combo and show you what you get inside the box and talk about some of the basic features and specification. I then test it out and record audio so you can hear for yourself what it sounds like. I first test it plugged into my SmartPhone like I normally do and then I pug it into my DJI Osmo Pocket for a second reference test. Please keep in mind I performed my original testing without monitoring the real time audio output so I did not catch that there was some interference from my overhead LED lighting. I was able to change the channels on my Comica WS60 UHF Dual Mini Wireless Microphone Combo and completely remove the background bussing I was getting from the LED lighting in my room.
