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.

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 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!

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.

View fullsize

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.

Model:  Colt Python 375
Materials: Almost entirely all Metal.
Weight: 2.75 pounds (1218 grams).
Barrel: 5.5 inches, metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: 12 gram CO2.
Action: Revolver, single & double actions.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 6 round cylinder.
FPS: 400.

View fullsize

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.

View fullsize

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.

View fullsize

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.

View fullsize

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.

View fullsize

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.

Type: Pellet Revolver.
Manufacturer: Gamo
Model: PR-776.
Materials: Mostly metal construction.
Weight: 2.2 Pounds (1 kg).
Barrel Length: 6 inches
Total Length: 11.5 inches.
Propulsion: CO2 x1
Action: Revolver single and double action.
Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 8 rounds per magazine.
Max FPS: 400+ fps.

Trigger Pull: The Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver has your traditional revolver single and double action trigger setup. In double action, the trigger is going to be a bit longer and heavier but it feel fairly smooth with no real friction points and I would consider it to have a medium trigger pull. When you cock the hammer back placing the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver in single action, the trigger pull becomes very short with virtually no take-up at all and the weight of the trigger is very light allowing for more accurate shots.

View fullsize

Accuracy: Make sure to watch my Field Test Shooting video for the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver where I test out the velocity and accuracy in the Replica Airguns Indoor Airgun Shooting Range. In summary the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver shot a little bit hotter than claimed at just over 400 fps using around 7 grain lead pellets. In terms of accuracy with a total of 16 shots the grouping spread out to around 4 inches but I am pretty sure a different pellet choice may have made a difference.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The build quality of the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver is pretty good overall. It is mostly all metal with the exception of the grips of course, Fit and finishes looks good, everything feel snug adn tight with the exception of the pistol grips. I feel like the grips could easily move out of place and get caught on something. This is not a problem when shooting, more so when in a holster. The Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver feels good in the hadn't, nice and solid and with a good weight to it.

View fullsize

Realism: The Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver is a decent looking Airgun in the style of a traditional revolver, I wouldn’t say it’s an exact replica of any specific revolver in production but it does tick off all the boxes in terms of looking realistic. The weight and feel for now and the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver also has a recessed barrel and hidden CO2 crew. The only real giveaway would be the cylinder size as it is a bit smaller than expected and of course is chambered for .177 caliber pellets.

View fullsize

Pros:

• Good power over 400 fps using actual lead pellets.

• Quicker reloading over shell loading revolvers

• More shots per magazine reload, 8 versus 6.

• Comes with two metal 8 round magazines.

• Traditional single and double action trigger.

• White dot front sight with fully adjustable rear sight.

• Good weight and feel to it.

• Fit and finish look good.

• Recessed barrel for realistic looking barrel opening.

• Should be able to use a dovetail type scope mount for adding on a red dot or magnified scope.

Cons:

• Not a fan of the loose pistol grip setup to access the CO2.

• Was hoping to get a bit tighter grouping but may have been a pellet choice issue.

Comments:
It was nice reviewing the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver as it was a bit different then most of today shell loading revolvers. I like that the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver still offered a realistic looking cylinder that the shell loading revolvers have but with the moon clip style magazines that allow for quick adn easy reloading of 8 rounds at a time. The velocity or power of the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver was even a bit high than Gamo claims using PBA Platinum pellets since Gamo claims 400 fps using these 5.1 grain lead pellets. My testing with closer to 7 grain pellets yielded fps up and over 400 fps. All the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver needs is to be just a little bit more accurate but I feel this may simply be more of a pallet choice, once you find a pellet the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver likes I am pretty sure it will deliver accurate shots.

Make sure to watch my upcoming Table Top Review for the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver where I go over the specifications, pros and cons and show it up nice and close. In this Field Test Shooting Video I determine what the accuracy and velocity of the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver by testing out the fps with my Chronograph along with a accuracy test shooting a paper target at a distance of 30 feet away using a rested shooting position.

View fullsize

For the velocity test I placed a brand new CO2 Cartridge in the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver and shot five 6.9 grain lead pellets though my Chronograph. Gamo claims their 5.1 grain PBA Platinum pellets will shoot around 400 fps so I was expecting something in the low to mid 300’s but was surprised at a five shot average of 4115 fps with the much heavier RWS6.9 grain pellets. The slowest shot I achieved was 396 fps while the fastest shot was 434 fps. The temperature was right around 24 degrees Celsius or 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

View fullsize

For the next section of my Field Test Shooting Review I setup a brand new paper target 30 feet down range and loaded up two eight round magazines. The results for the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver where a bit confusing with both eight round magazines. It seemed like most of the shots wanted to group within about 1-2 inches of each other but I was getting several outliers that extended the grouping to closer to four inches. Not the best performance but as I have found with many guns, sometimes you need to find a pellet that the gun is happy with. the wrong pellet can really make a difference and I am fairly sure this was the case with the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver using the RWS pellets. just not the best choice for it.

View fullsize

The Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver overall performer well, like I said I really think pellet choice will be the deciding factor in how accurate it is going to be. The velocity was very good for a CO2 Pellet revolver considering I was suing actual lead pellets and not the alloy pellets Gamo was using as their reference. The Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver uses metal eight round magazines which are easy to preload and allow for two additional shots over the more common these days shell loading revolvers, which makes the Gamo PR-776 CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Revolver more practical as a target pistol allowing for more power and easier loading.

If you have not already checked out my Table Top Video for the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver then make sure to do so for specifications and a closer look at it.

The Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is an interesting Paintball pistol, it has a very different look and also uses .50 caliber Paintballs which are a little bit less common than the .68 and .43 caliber paintball gun I have been reviewing up until now. The Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is some countries is marketed as a self defense gun but those versions do have a little bit more fps and foot pounds of energy. The version I am testing is not marketed here in Canada or the US as self defense products but rather as more of a training Paintball Gun.

View fullsize

Starting with my Chronograph velocity test I placed 5 Rubber Balls through my Chronograph using a brand new CO2. The Rubber balls I am going to say are a little bit heavier than standard Paintballs and Umarex claims the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is capable of hitting around 360 fps so with the heavier rubber balls I was expecting a little bit under the max fps. I was able to get an average of 328 fps so not bad at all.

View fullsize

Moving on to my accuracy test. I need up placing 10 of my 12 rounds into the paper target as I had two rounds that went off in what I am going to call an uncontrolled manor. The 10 rubber paintball rounds that did hit my paper target that was setup 30 feet down range all hit within about 6 inches of each other daily well centered left and right and a little bit low on the target. Gettin back to the uncontrolled shots, I had a situation where I pulled the trigger and the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver went click as you would expect but no CO2 was expelled and so no round was shot. I thought perhaps the cylinder was caught up so I went to wiggle it to try and free it up. As I did so the gun went off without my finger anywhere near the trigger. I am glad I was using rubber balls since the rubber ball hit my cabinet leaning a biota a mark but really causing any damage. This happened twice with the same cylinder, the second time I was bit more prepared for it and had the gun pointed well downrange. I was not able to recreate this problem again so perhaps the cylinder magazine was not seated properly but this still concerns me a bit.

View fullsize

Overall I really like the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver, it’s a pretty cool looking Paintball Gun with decent accuracy and power, you can even feel a little push back and barrel lift when you shoot it. I also like that you can preload a CO2 and puncture it whenever hypo are ready to shoot with a quick smack on the bottom of the grip. Just made sure to put the CO2 in the right way :)

Purchase the T4E TR50 from: The Canada Replica Airguns Store or the US Replica Airguns Store

It was a pretty nice day today so I got outside and tested out the Rx Target Systems to see how well it worked shooting my Sig Sauer Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Air Rifle at it for about 50 feet down range.

My systems setup for a more powerful airgun as I was shooting .22 caliber lead pellets with about 11-12 foot pounds of energy. Direct hits passing through the 3/4 inch cut outs had no problem laying down the metal paddles and resetting the paddles was a lot easier than I though it would be even way back 50 feet.

View fullsize

I did not have my Sig Sauer Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Air Rifle perfectly sighted in so I did have to aim low and to the left which made it a bit harder dropping the plates but I did manage to get the job done at least for providing a decent test video fo the Rx Target Systems for the purposes of this video.

Make sure to not only watch my Field Test Shooting video included in this post but also checkout my Rx Target Systems Preview Video where I show it up and close and also go into more details on the Rx Target Systems and how modular and versatile it really is.

We hope to have the Rx Target Systems in our Canada and US Online Replica Airguns stores in the near future but until them you can concat Rx Target Systems at their website.

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 

View fullsize

• 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.

This isn’t a SHOT Show 2020 Interview but most certainly worth reporting on. While walking around SHOT Show I ventured into the Chiappa Booth as I own a .22 caliber 1911 styled pistol from them and they do have some interesting products to take a look at.

View fullsize

Then I saw a red tip on one of their Chiappa Rhino Revolvers which caught my eye since I was not aware that Chiappa was making an Airgun version of their Rhino. Well as it turns out they are hoping to be shipping both an Airsoft version and Steel BB version around spring time and from what I can tell there will be two finishes, a kind of Gold Satin finish and also a Back finish version. As is with a lot of revolvers these days they will be shell loading which will help them look the part of a real steel Chiappa Rhino Revolver.

Looking forward to getting my hands on one when they come out in Spring this year!

Type: Paintball Gun.
Manufacturer: Umarex - T4E.
Model: T4E TR50
Materials: Metal & Polymer.
Weight: 726 grams (1.6 pounds).
Barrel: Smooth bore.
Power Source: 1x12 gram CO2.
Action: Revolver - Double action only trigger.
Ammo Type: .50 Caliber Paintball or Rubber Ball.
Ammo Capacity: 6 Rounds x 5 magazines.
FPS: 360.

View fullsize

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is double action only but not very long with a very different feel than I am use to. The best way to describe it is kind of lumpy, it starts out a bit firm and then eases off a lot just before it releases. Like climbing a hill and then coasting down the otters side. I will have to see how it feels when it’s all loaded up with CO2 and Paintballs and actually shooting at a target.

View fullsize

Accuracy: So far I have not had the opportunity to test the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver out and before I can do so I need to get myself some .50 caliber rubber Paintballs as all I have on hand right now are .43 and .68 caliber paintballs. Stay posted for my Field Test Shooting Video review for the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The build quality of the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is good overall. It is a mostly plastic build with some metal parts where they need to be internally. It is essentially two plastic halves held together by screws with the few actual mechanical working external parts. You have the trigger with it’s working trigger safety, the removable magazine and magazine release and of course the quick puncture CO2 screw knob. The hammer is internal. The Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is not very heavy but it does feel really solid in the hand.

View fullsize

Realism: The Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver  is not really a replica of any real steel gun that I know of. It does share a lot of similarities with the Umarex Brodax which is a CO2 BB Revolver. The Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is basically a very modern looking revolver. It is not going to fool anyone up close that you actually have a real steel revolver but then again I don’t think if you are shooting it at anyone they are going to want to get all that close to you :)

Purchase it from: The Canada Replica Airguns Store or the US Replica Airguns Store

View fullsize

Pros:

• Expected fairly high fps power of 360 with .50 caliber paintballs, a bit too high for your average paintball field but perhaps powerful enough to discourage an intruder?

• Lots of mounting option for accessories like a tac light, laser or other sighting option with it’s upper and lower picatinny rail setup.

• Quick CO2 pierce system so you can leave a CO2 in it ready to go any time with no worries about CO2 leaking out.

• Working Trigger Safety.

• Comes with 5 total magazines you can preload ready for use.

• Super non-complicated design. Once loaded with CO2 and Paintballs all you need to do is hit the CO2 knob and then pull the trigger.

• Build quality feels good, the gun is fairly beefy but not overly heavy or hard to hold.

View fullsize

Cons:

• Mostly all plastic build.

• Sights do not have white dots on them and are not adjustable.

• Do not expect a lot of shots per CO2. Will find out when I do my Field Test Shooting Review.

Comments:

The Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is an interesting Paintball gun, overseas versions are marketed as the HDR50 which stands for “Home Defense Revolver”, while the North American version is marketed as the TR50 or “Training Revolver”. This is mainly because in the Europe most countries are not allowed to own real handguns but can own “Self Defense handguns”. In North America as most people are well aware, in the US real handguns are very easy to obtain and can be used for self defense. Just across the border here in Canada we can not really purposely have on hand anything that we plan to use as a weapon for self defense so the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is marketed as a Training Revolver. What’s the difference? Not much, our North American 360 fps version is a lot like the 7.5 joule German version in terms of power but you can also get a more powerful 11 joule version in the UK. All that said, the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver at least here in Canada is made and marketed as a Paintball gun but on the field may be too powerful? What you decide to do with it is up to you!

It’s been a while since I had Blank Gun available for silent auction here in Canada and this one is an EKOL Firat Compact 9mm PAK Front Firing Blank Gun in great shape well kept and with only 20 rounds through it.

View fullsize

It comes with a hard shell case, the flare adaptor, take down tool and manual. Pretty much everything it came with. The finish is closest to a stainless but I believe was called Chrome back in the day. I would call it a Satin nickel finish? Anyway watch the video and look at the photos to get a better idea of what I mean.

View fullsize

The EKOL FIrat is a lot like the EKOL Jackal which also came in compact and Magnum version and resemble a Beretta 92. The EKOL Jackal however is semi auto and full auto capable while the EKOL Firat is semi auto only. This will save you a lot of money on blanks since blanks cost around $40 for a 50 pack.

View fullsize

To take part in the silent auction for this EKOL Firat Compact 9mm PAK Front Firing Blank Gun you will need to email me and let me know what your top bid is for it. The person with the highest bid will become the new only once paid for.

View fullsize

There are a couple things to keep in mind:

• Get your bids in by noon Monday December 23rd.

• Shipping will be added to the cost which is $29

• Payment must be made within 24 hours of notification via EMT (Email Money Transfer), details to follow.

• This can be a Christmas gift to yourself but it is not likely you will receive it by Christmas.

Best of luck to all participants!

Another Field Test Shooting Video Review coming for the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Airgun Shooting Range! In todays Shooting Review I test out the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver using both 4.5mm 5/1 grain Steel BB’s and .177 Caliber 6.9 grain Lead Pellets to see how well they perform in velocity and accuracy. As always I use a brand new CO2 for my velocity testing and for reference the temperature during my testing in the Sea Can was 23 degrees Celsius or 73 degrees Fahrenheit. For my accuracy portion of the shooting test I use a rested and seated shooting position shot 30 feet away from my fresh paper targets.

View fullsize

Starting off with the velocity or power potion of my Field Test Shooting Video for the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver. I first used the 4.5mm Steel BB shells and shot 3 rounds through my Chronograph averaging 369 fps. I then loaded up the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver with pellet shells and again placed three .177 caliber lead pellets through my Chrony and got a very similar result with an average of 361 fps. Keep in mind the lead pellets where 6.9 grain versus the steel BB’s at only 5.1 grain, so the lead pellets will be carrying more raw energy at the point of impact even though they where going just a tad bit slower than the steel BB’s.

View fullsize

In terms of accuracy both rounds performed about the same shooting at my paper target 30 feet away. Since the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver has a 6 round cylinder I shot 6 sounds for each test, 6 steel BB’s and then 6 lead pellets. I also changed the targets for each type of ammo between reloading. I found the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver shot fairly close to the bullseye, l but with both the Steel BB’s and lead pellets I got one outlier that spread out my groupings significantly, the other 5 rounds where all close being about 2 inches apart? Perhaps it was a bad or misshaped round, or maybe even me ;) I did notice the lead pellets seemed to have a really nice 4 round group out of the 6 that all fell within the bullseye. Hard to really say if BB’s or pellets performed better than the other one at least in my testing.

View fullsize

Overall the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver shot well for me, the trigger is nice and short and light making placing your shots easy, of course since it is a single action only trigger you kind of need to reset yourself between every shot which can effect groupings just a bit. Since the barrel is not rifled with no danger of damaging the rifling, you can really shoot what ever ammo type you feel like shooting or have on hand and since Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolvers get about the same speed and accuracy then it really doesn’t matter that much at the end of the day!

Type: BB/Pellet air revolver.
Manufacturer/Distributor: Bear River.
Model: Schofield No. 3
Materials: Mostly metal with plastic grips.
Weight: 2.4 pounds. (1089 grams)
Barrel: 7 inch (178mm) smooth bore barrel.

Action: Revolver, single action only.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's and .177 Cal. Pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 6 rounds.

View fullsize

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the single action only Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is what you would expect from a pistol of this design. Like the Colt Single Action Army the trigger pull is very short, light and crips, perfect for taking your time and getting a precise shot on target. You will of course have to cock the hammer manually before each shot ao no real action shooting.

View fullsize

Accuracy: I have not tested the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Airgun Range but plan to get to it shortly. I will test out both 4.5mm Steel BB’s and some .177 caliber lead Pellets and see how the different ammo types effect both power and accuracy. Keep in mind the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver has a smooth bore barrel but I am pretty sure pellets will still perform well at 30 feet away.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is built a lot like the Webley MK VI .455 CO2 Shell Loading Revolver line, perhaps even made in the same factory in Taiwan? The Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is pretty much an all metal construction other than the plastic grips and any internal seals. The fit and finish is excellent with a great overall weight in the hand. The pistol grips is a lot like what you have with the Colt Single Action Army pistol but the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is a lot more front end heavy because of its beefy barrel.

View fullsize

Realism: In terms of replicating a real steel Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver for sure looks and feels that part. The reassessed barrel and well hidden CO2 screw don’t give anything away that the Airgun version is not the real deal. But as with all of these shell loading Airgun Revolvers, the shells are actually closer to a .380 Caliber in diameter rather than a 45 which is what the real steel Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver would be designed for.

Available in the: Replica Airguns Store

View fullsize

Pros:

• If you are like a bulky revolver with good weight to it then the Bear River Schofield No. 3 is it.

• Can shoot Steel BB’s or Pellets since it comers with both shell types.

• Recessed barrel.

• Well concealed CO2.

• Shell loading design that loads from the back so no need to remove shells if you wish not to.

• Single Action Only hammer and trigger action feel good, nice and light with short take-up and release.

• Fairly discreet safety location right behind the hammer so easy to get at.

• Super easy to load, pellet shells can even be reloaded with shells in the gun if you are using the pellet shells.

• Really like the Nickel Finish on this gun.

• Can get simulated Ivory grips for it if you prefer that look.

Cons:

• Sights are not adjustable.

• Warning instructions on side of the frame.

• Barrel is not rifled for pellet use?

• Only a Single Action Only Hammer and Trigger but true to the style of the gun.

Comments:

Yet another classic shell loading CO2 BB Revolver, and again the more the merrier in my option! I like that you get 12 shells with our kit version, 6 removable shells for 4.5mm Steel BB’s and 6 removable shells for .177 caliber Pellets. The Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver is for sure a hefty revolver but the pistol grip is not super large so even people with smaller hands should not have a problem shooting the Schofield No. 3 CO2 BB-Pellet Revolver. The real problem is deciding which Shell Loading Airgun Revolver to buy now since we have so many to choose from… Classic or modern, nickel or black, or perhaps weathered?

Here we have three very different products I Unbox and Preview for everyone. A Spring Piston multi-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle, a single action BB/Pellet revolver that’s not a Colt! And a really nice looking Semi Auto Blank Pistol in a Chrome finish.

View fullsize

Let’s start with the Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle. I think this is a really well thought out Air Rifle. It’s “almost a Bullpup” in design but it does actually load in front of the trigger just a bit, that said most of the spring piston is behind the trigger setup making it really compact yet with a longer than normal barrel compared to regular Break Barrel Spring Piston Air Rifles. The Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle also has a side lever cocking mechanism along with a 5 round auto indexing magazine which makes it much quicker to cock and reload for fast follow-up shots, again compared to a standard Break Barrel Air Rifle, not to mention no barrel droop! The Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle has a claimed fps of up to 500 so we are getting the max amount of velocity possible for our Canadian laws without making it a regulated firearm and requiring a PAL license. And by the way the Air Venturi TR5 Spring Piston 5-shot .177 Caliber Pellet Rifle does come in both a Lime Green and all Black version just in case you are not a fan of the Lime Green finish I show in this video.

View fullsize

Moving onto the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica, if you like single action revolvers then take a look at the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica. It’s a lot more bulky than a Colt Single Action Revolver and also has that top Break design that makes reloading quick and easy. The version we are selling inner Replica Airgun Online Store is the kit version that comes with 6 BB shells and 6 pellet shells so you can take your pick on ammo types. The barrel is not rifled so Steel BB’s will not hurt the Airgun and since pellets are skirted they do not need a rifled barrel to fly straight and true. You can expect around 445 fps for the Schofield No. 3 BB/Pellet 6 Shot Revolver Replica.

Last up is one of my favorite Blank firing Semi Auto Pistols which I have already full reviews in the all Black version so checkout those Video Reviews for more info on the ROHM RG-88 line of Front Firing 9mm Blank Pistols. All I really wanted to show you guys with the ROHM RG-88 9mm PAK Blank Pistol in Polished Chrome is how awesome it looked with the Polished Chrome finish and that we do have more choices now than we use to have in terms of what finish you can get your ROHM RG-88 in. Personally I like the Polished Chrome finish the best but you can also get it in all Black and Matte Chrome, so you decide which one you like the best.
