Type: Airsoft Rifle. Distributer:ASG. Model:Action Army T-11. Materials: Metal and polymer build. Weight: 3.9/4.5 pounds. Barrel: 11.8 inches, non-rifled. Total Length: 34.7/43.3 inches Propulsion: Spring Action: Bolt action repeater. Ammunition Type: .6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s. Ammunition Capacity: 50 round magazine. FPS: 400-430. Type: Pistol and Rifle versions.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on ASG Action Army T-11 Spring Powered Bolt Action Airsoft Gun is light, short and crisp. There is virtually no take-up and the release point has no creep to it. I would say it is not too light but for sure one of the lighter trigger s I have tested on a Airsoft rifle.
Accuracy: I have not performed my Field Test Shooting Video for the ASG Action Army T-11 Spring Powered Bolt Action Airsoft Gun so stay posted for that. ASG claims around 400-430 fps velocity depending on the version which is kind of weird since both have the exact same barrel length internally and I would assume both use the same mechanical part throughout? I don’t have the rifle version to compare to but I will for sure test the velocity using my Chronograph for the pistol version when I do my Field Test Shooting Review along with accuracy performance.
Build Quality: The ASG Action Army T-11 Spring Powered Bolt Action Airsoft Gun is well built for sure, it feels really solid in the hadn't and has good overall weigth to it for it’s size. You will find lots of metal parts where they need to be as in the inner and outer barrel, receiver, bolt, trigger, magazine release and I am sure most mechanical internal parts. Fit and finish is also very good.
Realism: The ASG Action Army T-11 Spring Powered Bolt Action Airsoft Gun is not a replace of any gun I know of but does have tab least the pistol version does look like a sawn off shotgun more than a sniper rifle. The gun overall all is very modern and ergonomic looking but in terms of being a replica of any specific real steel gun in production I don’t know of any it would resemble?
Pros:
Top and bottom rails for lots of accessory add on options.
Can swap over to a rifle version by adding on an interchangeable but-stock.
Mock magazine allows for storage and transport of tools plus extras.
Safety switch is in a great location for right handed shooters.
Comes with included hand stop.
Solid construction with lots of metal parts where they are important.
Ability to add side rails.
Great option if you are looking for a more compact sniper rifle.
Comes in Pistol and Rifle versions.
Cons:
Has an orange tip.
Does not come with sights, will need to add some sort of optical or red dot sight.
Does not come with speed loader, would have been nice.
Comments: I am looking forward to performing my Indoor Field Test Shooting Video for the ASG Action Army T-11 Spring Powered Bolt Action Airsoft Gun. I won’t be able to test it out perhaps as far range as I would like to since I will be shooting it in the Replica Airguns Indoor Shooting range which allows me to test at 30 feet. That should give us a good overall idea on at least what it may be capable of since if we can get a tight group at 30 feet we should also be able to get a tight group at longer ranges with proper hop-up and BB selection. I like the option of being able to choose either the Pistol or Rifle version and both should perform about the same. Having the Pistol version will allow for a much more compact Sniper Rifle option much better suited for shooting in a variety of situations.
My Vimeo Videos for the ASG Action Army T-11 Spring Powered Bolt Action Airsoft Gun:
Make sure to watch my Table Top Review for the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol if you haven’t already done so to get all the specifications and features along with some nice close up video. In this Field Test Shooting video I test out the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol to find out what the real world velocity is and also just how accurate it will be shooting a paper target from 30 feet back using a rested shooting position. Since the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol is a target pistol I was hoping for good accuracy since the Diana Chaser performed so well for me in my earlier Field Test Shooting video this week. The Diana Bandit does have a claimed 700 fps velocity but I believe this is for the non-Canada detuned version so it will be interesting to find out exactly what the power is.
First up I placed 5 shots through my Chronograph with a fully charged PCP tank using 6.9 grain RWS lead pellets and got just over 500 fps results averaging 517 fps, so yes the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol has been detuned to make it Canada non-regulated legal.
Next I performed my accuracy test shooting at a paper target 30 feet down range with the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol rested on a sand bag up front and sitting in the back. Since the magazine holds 9 rounds I placed 9 round on the target to see what kind of grouping I could get. At first I was not sure why my 9 shot grouping seemed to be much more spread out than My Dianna Chaser results but after watching the video I saw that only one shot really came out of the 1 inch grouping not including the random accident shot I took. Perhaps I had a misinformed pellet or perhaps I pulled that one shot. That shot aside both the Diana Bandit and Chaser performed about the same, even shooting just a hair to the left from the bullseye.
The trigger feels pretty decent, not super light or to heavy, there is a little bit of take-up and then a slight resistance then a quick release. The bolt action along with the 9 round rotary magazine worked flawlessly for me with no jamming at all. For the low price this PCP Target Pellet Pistol comes in at you really can’t go wrong and if you want to modify or upgrade it down the road there are tons of things you can do to the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol. I highly recommend the Diana Bandit PCP .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol if you are looking for a super affordable PCP target pellet pistol.
Make sure to watch my Table Top Review for the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol if you haven’t already to get all the specifications and features along with some nice close up video. In this Field Test Shooting video I test out the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol to find out what the real world velocity is and also just how accurate it will be shooting a paper target from 30 feet back using a rested shooting position. Since the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol is a target pistol I was hoping for good accuracy but based on the claimed 525 fps velocity I was also hoping for close to 500 fps results.
First up I placed 4 shots through my Chronograph using a brand new CO2 along with 6.9 grain RWS lead pellets and got pretty close to 500 fps results averaging 490 fps, not bad considering the temperature was not super warm and I was using led pellets not hyper velocity alloy pellets.
Next I performed my accuracy test shooting at a paper target 30 feet down range with the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol rested on a sand bag up front and sitting in the back. Since the magazine holds 9 rounds I placed 9 round on the target to see what kind of grouping I could get. I was impressed to see a nice 1 inch grouping, maybe even a little bit less removing the paper tearing. Shots where vertically right on the mark and just a tad to the left but easily fixable with a quick tweak of the full adjustable sights.
The trigger feels pretty decent, not super light or to heavy , there is a little bit of take up and then a slight resistance then a quick release. The bolt action along with the 9 round rotary magazine worked flawlessly for me with no jamming at all. For the low price this CO2 Target Pellet Pistol comes in at you really can’t go wrong and if you want to modify or upgrade it down the road there are tons of things you can do to the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol. I highly recommend the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol if you are looking for a super affordable target pellet pistol.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol is single action only meaning in order to cock the internal hammer/striker, you need to cycle the bolt back and forth allowing for a short and light trigger action. If you do purchase the rotary magazine the cycling of the bolt will automatically advance a pellet allowing for much quicker followup shots.
Accuracy: At this point I have not personally tested the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol in terms of actual power and accuracy but I expect the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol to perform well since in fact this is a target pistol with fairly high claimed fps. In the next few weeks I plan on making my Field Test Shooting Video so stay posted for the results from that video for confirmation of the performance.
Build Quality: The Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol is made in China which might make you wonder about the overall quality of this target pistol but after taking a good look around and working all the mechanical parts I ma very impressed with the overall quality and chosen material that went into the production of the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol. You will finds metal where you need it as in the barrel, bolt and trigger. The pistol grip is plastic and so are portions of the sights which would have been nice if they where all metal.
Realism: Realism isn’t really a concern with the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol since it is not a Replica Airguns but in terms of looking like a gun it serves that purpose, no mistaken that so no waving it around in public or things may not turn out so good for you…
Pros:
Very inexpensive fairly high quality full featured target pistol.
Expect to have good accuracy and power!
Metal construction where it needs to be (Bolt, barrel, trigger).
Rifled 8.3 inch barrel.
Fully adjustable sights.
Adjustable and light single action trigger.
Dove tail on bolt for adding optical sight if you want to.
Extra storage for a backup CO2 in the pistol grip.
Good for small pest control because of fairly high fps and expected good accuracy for shot placement ability.
Can be modified/upgraded with a magazine, longer barrel and rifle stock fairly easily.
Overall the Airgun feels really high quality for the price.
Even comes with a nice soft shell case.
Available in both .22 and .177 caliber pellet versions.
Cons:
Does not come with magazine, single shot only out of the box.
Allen key does not fit the trigger adjustment screw.
Made in China.
Comments:
For the price I don’t think you will find anything out there in terms of target pellet pistols with as many features as the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol. At least in the rather low cost price point Diana is offering it at. For that reason it is not going to be the absolute best all around CO2 pellet firing target pistol you can get but I am sure bang for your buck you will be happy with this one. Everything about the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol feels decent quality, I would expect to pay at least double the price for something similar for sure. I have a feeling keeping the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol in stock is going to be a challenge for us so if you see it in stock don’t take too long making up your mind or you may be in for a bit of a wait.
My Vimeo Table Top Review for the Diana Chaser CO2 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Pellet Pistol:
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle is nice and short and light as would be expected form a bolt action sniper rifle. The take-up and release are virtually on existent, just nudge your finger a bit and this Airsoft rifle is firing a round down range.
Accuracy: So far I have not tested out the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle but from what I have seen watching other YouTube videos, it looks to be very accurate right out of the box. The version I have has the Canada import legal heavier spring so it should shout right around 366 fps or a tad higher using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. I will probably test mine out using heavier Airsoft BB’s when I perform my Field Test Shooting Video for the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle.
Build Quality: The Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle like all Tokyo Marui products is very well made, there is a lot of plastic in this Airsoft Sniper rifle but it is of good quality, you will find metal in the barrel and bolt areas of course. The trigger, safety and sling attachments are also metal.
Realism: The Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle is based off of your typical bolt action hunting rifle with not a lot fo bells and whistles other than the included adjustable open sights but you can pimp it out with a ton of aftermarket modifications including much suppresses, scope mounts for a scope, bipods and pretty much all the internal parts can be upgraded and swapped out.
Pros:
Not a clone so all aftermarket parts will work on and in it.
No CO2 or batteries required, ready when you are.
Expect excellent accuracy at most ranges.
Easy to adjust on the field Hop-up.
Super easy to operate bolt action and very nice trigger.
Comes with heavier spring installed so more powerful than standard version.
Comes with integrated fully adjustable sights, no need for a scope to start shooting.
Comes with sling mounts which make it Bipod compatible.
No red tip.
Cons:
Does not come with scope plate so you will need that if you plan to install a stope on it.
Front sight is taped on with double sided tape.
Cost is high compared to other Spring powered Airsoft rifles on the market..
Comments:
There are lots of clones out there of the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle but this is the real deal and so you will pay more for it for sure but you will get Tokyo Marui quality and performance. That can not be said for the clone versions. If you do plan on upgrading yours down the road the Tokyo Marui version will accept all the aftermarket add ons and parts which again the clones may not and so you could end up wasting your money on parts that don’t fit with the other versions. Something to keep in mind when adding up all the costs. One thing to be aware of with the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle is the bolt is a bit firmer with the upgraded spring dn so you need to make sure it is all the way forward before twisting and releasing. If you don’t it will not lock into place and you will end up scratching the back paint off of the area just in front of the safety, not a big deal, you can always touch it up easy enough.
My Vimeo Table Top Review for theTokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Spring Bolt Action Airsoft Rifle:
This Field Test Shooting Review for the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is a lot different from most of my other shooting video reviews mainly because the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is not a CO2 powered BB Pistol like pretty much every other 4.5mm Steel BB pistol I have ever tested. There are way more 6mm Airsoft spring pistols but when it comes to actual 4.5mm BB Pistols they are not very common. The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is Kind of like the pistol version of the Daisy Red Ryder BB Rifle…
So let’s get right into the nitty gritty on how the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol performed in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range. Starting off with the feet per second velocity for the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol Daisy claims around 240 fps. shooting about 8 shots through my chronographs with standard 5.1 grain 4.5,, steel BB’s I was able to get an average of just over 180 fps, the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol was super consistent shooting all shots between 181 and 189 fps.
I then proceeded to place 10 shots on my paper target setup 30 feet down range shooting from a rested portion with a sand bag up front supporting my hadbn’s and a stool to sit on in the back. The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol did shoot a bit low and to the left but all 10 shots grouped within 3 inches of each other, actually a bit better than I was expecting from a low cost BB Pistol like this. If I was shooting at a pop can and adjusted my aim point a bit I would have hit the can 10 out of 10 times which is about as good as you can ask for a plinker like this.
The best way I can describe the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is the pistol equivalent of the Daisy Re Ryder in that it shoots 4.5mm Steel BB’s has a high capacity BB reservoir that holds lots of BB’s and you are required to cock the spring for each shot rather than use CO2 for power. This makes for an over low cost Airgun but like the Daisy Red Ryder it is a lot fo fun to shoot at the end of the day. The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol has a surprisingly good trigger and at the end of the day shot really consistently for me.
Type: BB Pistol. Manufacturer: Daisy Model:Powerline 340. Materials: Mostly metal construction. Weight: 1 Pound (454 grams). Barrel Length: 4-5 inches Total Length: 8.5 inches. Propulsion: Spring Action: Single action only. Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB’s. Ammunition Capacity: 13/200 round magazine. Max FPS: 240 fps.
Trigger Pull: The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol has a single action only trigger. You will have to pull the slide back for each shot as this motion draws the spring back and also cocks the hammer. The trigger pull is fairly decent with about a quarter inch of take-up followed by a light predictable release. There will not be any action shooting since the trigger is not double action and the fact that the slide must be pulled back for each shot.
Accuracy: So far I have not made my Field Test Shooting Video for the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol but I did take it outside for some good old plinking to see how it would perform causally shooting in the yard. The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol shot a bit harder than I was expecting it to and I was even able to hit targets a good 50 or so feet away but did have to account for some trajectory arch. Accuracy seemed good in general without a lot of need to adjust my aim point as the sights seemed well centered out of the box which is good since they are not adjustable.
Build Quality: The build quality of the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is nothing exciting as it is mostly plastic with a metal barrel and perhaps a few other internal metal parts. Being that the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is mostly plastic it only weighs in at about a pound but feels good in the hand. Everything feels pretty solid on the airgun with good overall fit and finish.
Realism: In terms of realism the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is a good replica of a Beretta 92 in terms of looks and size comparison. Other than the open slide area that exposes the inner barrel being shorter than a real steel Beretta (probably to accommodate the internal spring) the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol looks very close to a Beretta 92. Moving parts include the slide, hammer, magazine release and slide catch release which is actually the safety. Even the magazine is drop out and near full size. I also like that there are no perceivable screw holes which is usually the case with these types of low cost all plastic Airguns when they are basically two halves slapped and screwed together.
Pros:
Pretty decent replica of a Beretta 92 in general.
For an inexpensive Airgun it has a lot of working parts that make it more realistic.
Very low cost to buy and operate, no CO2 required (Under $40 in Canada Store right now).
Has a recessed barrel for added realism.
Single action only trigger is not overly long or heavy.
Lots of ammo stored in the internal hopper so no need for a lot reloading.
Safety actually looks like part of the gun built into the slide catch release.
Full size dropout magazine.
Weight and feel of gun are pretty good considering so much plastic.
Cons:
Not super high in the fps department.
Need to cock the slide for every shot so not going to be an action shooter.
Made in China.
Comments: The Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is one of those low cost yet kind of fun BB guns that as long as you don’t have super high expectations you will get a ton of fun out of for very little cost. At about $40 Canadian with a bit more for some 4.5mm steel BB’s you are ready to shoot all day long. I was a bit surprised at how decent of a little BB gun the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol is. It looks real enough, has a decent build quality to it, actually shoots pretty good with a nice trigger and for such a low cost airgun it has a lot going for it like lots of working parts and even a removable full size magazine that doubles as a 200 round hopper with 13 round internal magazine. I don’t think anyone will be disappointed buying the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol and it would make a perfect first BB gun for a younger person looking to get started out in the sport.
My Vimeo Table Top Review for the Daisy Powerline 340 Spring BB Pistol:
For this Field Test Shooting Video I actually had to go outside and use my field so in order to have an appropriate amount of distance to properly test the Umarex AirJavelin Archery CO2 Arrow Rifle. My Indoor Airgun Shooting Range is only 30 feet long and my metal backstop was simply not usable for the arrows.
I setup a make ship arrow backstop using a large bag of bark mulch with a rubber matt over top. This setup seemed to work really well for the Umarex AirJavelin Archery CO2 Arrow Rifle allowing the arrows to stick in most of the way. My target was setup around 55 feet away and I was using rested but standing shooting position for my testing.
I decided to combine the Chromo and Accuracy portion of my Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex AirJavelin Archery CO2 Arrow Rifle by recording each shot on my chronograph while I placed shots on target, why not right? I placed 6 arrows on target with 5 of my shots being recorded by the chronograph. The average fps was only 156, the highest being 183 and lowest being 136. I did experience a bit of a CO2 leak when I first placed my 88 gram CO2 in the Umarex AirJavelin Archery CO2 Arrow Rifle. I believe this was because I did not pull the bolt back which allowed the valve mechanism to be open slightly. I realized this fairly quickly and pulled the bolt back which saved most of the CO2 but I did lose a some. This may have lowered the fps a little bit but I was surprise that the Umarex AirJavelin Archery CO2 Arrow Rifle was recording about half the fps claimed by Umarex. That said the effectiveness of the arrows and penetration into the backstop would for sure get the job done if I was trying to eradicate some small to medium sized pests.
In terms of accuracy I was very impressed with the Umarex AirJavelin Archery CO2 Arrow Rifle. At 55 feet or so I was able to get 5 of the arrows all within 2-3 inches of each other, I did have one arrow drop a little bit lower than the main grouping. I’m not sure if I would want to shoot a pest out at 50-60 feet but it could be done with the Umarex AirJavelin Archery CO2 Arrow Rifle especially if you where to add a nice red dot or optical sight to it. I would think the Umarex AirJavelin Archery CO2 Arrow Rifle would be best suited shooting small to medium game at 30-40 feet which should allow for sub 2 inch groupings.
Type: Break Barrel Pellet Pistol. Manufacturer: Gamo Model:P900 IGT. Materials: Mostly plastic build with some internal metal parts. Weight: 1.28 Pounds (580 grams). Barrel Length: 6.25 inches Total Length: 12.52 inches. Propulsion: Gas Piston (IGT) Action: Break barrel single action trigger. Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.. Ammunition Capacity: 1 round. Max FPS: 400 fps using PBA Platinum pellets (about 5 grain).
Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol uses what Gamo calls their SAT or Smooth Action Trigger system. Overall the single action only trigger feels pretty good, not super light but also not overly heavy. The Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol has a short take up with a very predictable release point. I found it fairly easy to use and shoot with precision.
Build Quality: The Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is mainly made out of plastic, pretty much everything is plastic including the trigger but there will be internal metal parts where they are required. That said the Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol feels well made with fairly heavy plastic throughout. The Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is not super heavy but feels hefty enough in the hand.
Realism: The Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is not a replica of any specific pistol in production and has a very modern look to it. I would say it looks more like an airgun than a real gun and that’s exactly what is’t supposed to be so this is not a negative in this case.
Pros:
Reasonable price for a target pistol.
Performed well, can easily get .5 inch groupings from 30 feet away.
No need for CO2.
Inert Gas Technology (IGT) has less vibration and no reduction to power over time.
Fiber optic front sight.
Adjustable rear sight for windage.
Inexpensive to shoot.
Made in Spain.
Ambidextrous design.
Reasonable trigger pull.
Cons:
Not supper powerful. Shot around 300 fps with standard lead pellets.
A bit hard to cock because of such a short barrel.
Rear sight is only adjustable for windage and not elevation.
Comments: The Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is a nice overall low cost target pistol with a very modern look and Gas Piston technology. In terms of performance the Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol tested well for me shooting accurately with a consistent 300 fps velocity which is what you want in a target pistol, consistency over raw power. I like the overall design and look, the Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol feels good in the hand and easy to shoot, the trigger is not overly light but is also not too heavy by any means. My only complaint is the cocking effort involved because of such a short barrel and I also noticed a bit of a stickiness with the cocking effort but I have a feeling this may break in over time or perhaps a drop of oil in the hinge area may do the trick. If you want a modern looking target pellet pistol with good performance than the Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol will for sure fit the bill!
My Table Top Review for the Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol:
For this Field Test Shooting Video Review of the Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol I test the power and accuracy to determine what the real world (fps) Feet Per Second velocity and how tight of a grouping I can get for 30 feet down range.
For the power portion of my Indoor Filed Test I shot five RWS 6.9 grain lead pellets through my Chronograph with an average velocity of 305 fps. This resulted in a 1.43 foot pound energy rating. My slowest shot out of the Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol was 289 fps and the fastest shot was 311 fps. Gamo claims the Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol can achieve 400 fps but this would be using lighter alloy pellets like PBA Platinum pellets.
Next I setup at a fresh paper target 30 feet down range and proceeded to place 8 shots into the target using a seated and rested shooting position. My first shot was a bit high as I was getting use to the trigger but the following 7 shots all grouped within about 3/4 of an inch, 6 of them all within a half inch of each other so the Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is for sure capable of 1/5 inch groupings from a 30 foot distance. The placement of the shots grouping was a little bit high and to the left. since the Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol has an adjustable trigger for windage I could easily center the grouping right in the middle. In terms of elevation there is no adjustment so I would need to manually adjust this on the fly depending on the distance I was shooting at.
The Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol performed very well for me, the power is what you would expect for a target pistol, I would not recommend the Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol for any pest control. Accuracy was very good and I feel once getting use to the trigger you shoudl be able to get shots all within a 1/2 inch at 30 feet. The trigger is not super light but by no means is it heavy, the take-up is short with a predictable release, I found the trigger to work well overall. My only complaint is cocking the Gas Spring as the barrel is short and it does take some effort to do this, especially getting it started off, once you get past the first little bit it does get easier to cock. If you’re looking for a nice accurate target pellet pistol at a relatively inexpensive price point then for sure consider the Gamo P900 IGT .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to do a traditional Field test Shooting video for the REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher but then I thought why not, and I’m kind of glad I did, it was a lot fo fun making it and now we all know what to expect for this line of CO2 powered Nerf styled guns.
Umarex claims the REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher will perform with 30% faster and farther shots than a similarly styled Nerf spring powered gun but what does that mean. If you look up the average speed of a Nerf Gun on Google, Wikipedia says that it is a around 70 fps so I guess we are shooting for around 100 fps (Pardon the pun). Well after placing 5 shots through my Chronograph and actually getting readings for most shots, I did end up averaging 104 fps so Umarex was bang on with their claim of 30% faster which makes sense to also assume 30% farther.
Next I wanted to see if the REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher 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 REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher as this is really an indoor fun gun. 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 REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher was able to reach out 30 feet no problem but during the last 10 feet the Nerf style darts did seem to veere off target. I was able to get some of them 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.
The REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher is for sure a step up from a spring powered Nerf pistol in terms of power, distance, quicker reloading and especially when it comes to realism as they look like a traditional modern styled hand gun rather than a toy gun like most Nerf gun designs. I figure why not grab a couple REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launchers for when you get bored around the house, heck there’s a lot of that going on right now!
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.
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.
Type: Nerf Type Gun. Manufacturer: Umarex Model:REKT OPSIX. Materials: Mostly plastic build with some internal metal parts. Weight: 11.75 oz (332 grams) with CO2 installed. Propulsion: 12 gram CO2 x1. Action: Single shot double action trigger. Ammunition Type: Nerf type foam darts. Ammunition Capacity: 1 round. Max FPS: NA. Claimed 30% faster and 30% father than standard similar type Nerf spring pistols.
Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Umarex REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher is much the same as your standard double action non-blowback BB gun, I’m pretty sure the actual mechanical hammer and trigger mechanism is much the same since the barrel moves in and out just like many of Umarex’s non-blowback CO2 BB pistols. The double action trigger is as expected a bit long but it’s not overly heavy and since this is not a rapid fire gun your trigger finger will not get tired shooting the Umarex REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher.
Accuracy: I haven’t performed my Field Test Shooting video for the Umarex REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher and I’m not sure what that is going to entail but I have placed some rounds at targets around 20-25 feet away and for the most part you can easily hit a human sized object in the mid section easily enough. I would not want to shoot much over 30 feet but the Umarex REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher like other Nerf type guns is mainly for indoor fun.
Build Quality: The REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher is built pretty much exactly like other Umarex non-blowback all plastic CO2 BB pistols and that’s a good thing since they are pretty much bullet proof. I would even go on record to say the REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher 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 OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher 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 semi auto hand gun other than the bright coloring going on. Ergonomically speaking the REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher would make a much better trainer than a Nerf gun and should even fit into standard pistol holsters.
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 (30% more).
More realistic looking than most Nerf Guns.
Like an Airsoft Gun but more usable indoors and less chance of injurys.
White dot sights front and back.
Has a working safety.
Uses standard Nerf foam darts.
Picatinny rail underneath for adding accessories.
A great option for having some fun indoors while many of us are shut in our houses.
Cons:
Will require CO2 to operate.
Requires reloading between each shot.
More money than a traditional similar type Nerf pistol.
Comments: The Umarex REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher may be the ideal indoor fun gun right now while we are all staying at home a lot more these days. Sure you could use a standard Nerf Gun but not if you want to be the cool kid (or cool kid stuck in an adults body). I like that the REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher 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? Hopefully we can keep them in stock and get more product for you if need be moving forward.
My Vimeo Table Top Review for the REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher:
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.
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.
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.
My Table Top Review of the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol:
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.
This year at SHOT Show 2020 Mark from Umarex had a nice variety of new product to go over with us. Mark first went over the new CO2 Blowback Pellet firing Glock 17 which has a similar magazine and loading system as the Umarex SA10 Pellet Pistol.
We then took a look at another Glock replica, the Glock 18C Full Auto GBB Airsoft pistol with extended magazine, this one is sure to be a lot of fun with its selectable full auto feature and high capacity magazine. Perfect for hammering targets downrange or used as a very capable backup Airsoft pistol in the field.
Probably one of my favorites at the Umarex Booth this year was the Umarex Thompson M1A1 Legends Series CO2 Blowback Machine Gun. And yes it’s full auto capable along with blowback operation and a full size drop metal magazine that holds the CO2 and Steel BB’s. A nice addition to the Legends series of Pistols and Rifles.
Something really different this year for Umarex are the AirJavelin and AirSaber, two arrow firing rifles, the AirJavelin is CO2 powered and more tactical looking but still has more than enough power to shoot medium sized game, great for pest control while the bigger and (480 fps 178 foot pound) more powerful AirSaber is PCP powered and can be used for larger game like deer and wild bore. And it even looks like we will be selling these Arrow firing rifles in our Canada Replica Airguns Store with no PAL firearms license required!
Here we go again, another round of SHOT Show videos brought to you direct from Replica Airguns!
As always I like to start off with a Teaser Video with a few quick clips of some of the new products I had the opportunity to take a look at at this years SHOT Show 2020 Las Vegas.
