• MY UMAREX WALTHER PPQ CO2 PELLET PISTOL ADVENTURE

Type: Pellet & BB air pistol.

Manufacturer: UmarexUSA.

Model: Walther PPQ.

Materials: Plastic (polymer) and metal construction.

Weight: 1.37 pounds.

Barrel: 3.9 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double action only.

Ammunition Type: .177 caliber Pellets and 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 shot rotary magazine.

FPS: 360.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Walther PPQ is a bit on the heavy side with most of the effort at the beginning and middle stages, right near the release point it does seem to lighten up a great deal making it easy to put pellets on the target. Just don't expect the PPQ to be the quickest rapid fire gun on the block because of this.

Accuracy: I shot this air pistol at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and it performed well getting an impressive 1.5 inch grouping very close to the center of the target. The sights can be adjusted for windage if your aim is off to one side or the other. My Chrony Chronograph testing using 6.9 grain lead pellets fluctuated between 300 and 360 fps.

Build Quality: This is an almost all external polymer air gun with a good deal of metal components on the inside giving the Walther PPQ a decent overall weight and heft. Some of the external metal parts worth noting are the safety switch, slide release, and trigger. The fit and finish is very good on the PPQ and the plastic is the good stuff - there is a difference!

Realism: The Umarex Walther PPQ is a licensed replica of the real Walther PPQ semi auto pistol. It is a very close looking copy with the exception of some of the trade marks (P99 Q instead of PPQ). There is a lot of attention to detail that helps make this gun very believable!

Provided by: UmarexUSA.

Pros:

• Very reasonable price for a well made full featured airgun.

• Excellent reproduction of the real Walther PPQ semi auto pistol.

• Shoots both pellets and BB's.

• Rifled barrel.

• Easy to use yellow dot sights adjustable for windage.

• Slide catch and safety are realistic and functional.

• Well designed CO2 access both hides the CO2 and makes it easy to install.

• Good combination of power, accuracy and CO2 efficiency (I got 80+ shots)!

• Even though there is a lot of plastic on the outside, there is a lot of metal on the inside giving this airgun some weight and heft.

Cons:

• The plastic exterior may put off some customers looking for metal guns.

• The trigger is a might bit heavy making rapid fire something you have to work for!

• The small .177 caliber viewable barrel port is a bit of a giveaway in terms of realism but may help a bit with fps.

Comments:

The Umarex Walther PPQ Pellet and BB CO2 air pistol took me a bit by surprise. Because the PPQ resides in the lower end price range, I was not expecting it to be as nice of an airgun as it turned out to be! The PPQ has a lot going for it: Shoots both Pellets or BB's, a rifled barrel, adjustable sights, good accuracy, decent power, efficient CO2 usage and good looks. These qualities make it very easy to overlook the mostly plastic exterior!

• UMAREX WALTHER PPQ CO2 PELLET & BB PISTOL REVIEW

I had a little adventure today. I needed to pick up an Umarex PPQ CO2 Pellet Pistol sent to me for review purposes by Umarex USA. The reason it was such an adventure was because Umarex USA was only able to send the PPQ Pellet Shooter to an address in the US and I live in Canada! No problem as I am very used to this No-Canada ship-to policy with many businesses. My work around is to ship to a warehouse in the US that specializes in shipping and receiving products for Canadians just like me.

I recently picked myself up a little 250cc Kawasaki KLX250SF Super Motard for doing my running around and today the weather was actually pretty good so I called up a riding buddy and out we went to pick up my Umarex Walther PPQ. The hardest part is actually getting into the US, if you say anything about business or picking "going to get something", you open yourself up to a hailstorm of questioning so you're always better off to go with the standard "I'm going shopping at the mall" or something like that. I have tried to be honest and every time it ends up being a three hour interrogation... 

So I made it across into the US and picked up my PPQ, stuffed it in my backpack, grabbed some Mexican food for lunch (it's always way better in the US), went for a joy ride, and then we headed back to Canada with my airgun tucked away securely in my backpack.

I know my airgun laws so I was not worried about crossing back into Canada, the worst that could happen at the boarder was getting pulled aside and asked to pay some duty and/or taxes. It was actually kind of funny because the boarder guard asked me to pull the gun out and hand it to him so he could check it out and make sure it wasn't a real gun or "Replica" non-shooting gun.

As I put my hand in the bag I said "do you want me to hand it to you", I wanted to makes sure I had not misheard him, that would have been an uncomfortable situation all around! I was thinking the whole time "I wonder what the people behind me are thinking" as we pass back and forth what looks like a real hand gun and then I just drive off like nothing happened.

Anyways, I have to say the Canadian boarder guards are generally really good about this kind of thing as long as you are honest with them and stay within the law of course.

So now I have this rather nice little pellet shooting Walther PPQ Replica to review for you all tomorrow! Make sure to check out my review! I plan on doing a full review complete with Chronograph fps and an accuracy shooting tests.

• FULL METAL UZI BLOWBACK CO2 .177 BB GUN ON ITS WAY

• CYBERGUN MINI UZI BB GUN REVIEW

• CYBERGUN - KWC MINI UZI BB GUN FULL AUTO MODIFICATION

Today I got my Cybergun Full Auto CO2 powered BB shooting Mini UZI out for a Chrony Chronograph test. As stated by the factory, this BB shooting Mini UZU is supposed to shoot right around 344 fps which is not bad for a true blowback airgun. And what I mean by true blowback - it's when an airgun uses some of the CO2 power to cycle the action of the gun, which cocks the firing mechanism and loads a BB all in the blink of an eye - just like a real semi auto shooter.

The Cybergun Mini UZI shot nicely between 350 and 360 fps - again, another impressive result even on a not too warm day! (10 degrees Celsius - 50 degrees fahrenheit)

<!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-9036472715040282"; /* Replica Airguns Content */ google_ad_slot = "1487049688"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 15; //-->

I also took the opportunity to film the Cybergun Mini UZI shooting in full auto, at target while I used my high speed Casio camera to slow down what was actually happening. The result is you can really see all that's going on while you fire this dynamic air gun.

Keep in mind that the Cybergun Mini UZI does not come from the factory with the full auto feature. It is an easy mod however, and I have a video here on how to do it.

Yet another Chronograph video! I'm working my way through my air guns and starting with the ones that I have been asked about the most, and that I'm also the most interested in finding out what the true "real word" feet per second ratings are.

<!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-9036472715040282"; /* Replica Airguns Content */ google_ad_slot = "1487049688"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 15; //-->

Todays Chrony Chronograph test was done on my Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle Blowback CO2 .177 caliber pellet pistol. The factory rating was stated as being a respectable 425 fps which is pretty good for a blowback pellet shooter. The Umarex Desert Eagle is a crisp and accurate shooter that likes to eat up CO2 cartridges, so the factory claims are believable!

I am happy to say that on a fresh CO2 cartridge, in not too warm spring Vancouver weather, I not only hit the 425 claimed fps, but exceeded it with a few shots.

I don't post a lot of other people's video here on the site but from time to time when I see a really good one, I'll feature it. This video is from a YouTuber named NicFitNation. What I like about this video most of all is the way VST sums up the reasons for getting a blank gun to begin with. I know most of you already understand the reasoning behind owning a blank gun, but for some reason I seem to answer this question a lot on my YouTube channel.

Make sure to watch the video right to the end as there is a nice demo of the Zoraki 914 shooting in full auto!

This may not be a big deal to most of you but if you happen to own or are thinking about getting a Webley Alecto in either a .177 caliber or .22 caliber pellet version, and you are a left handed shooter... then having the appropriate grips is going to make life just a little easier for you!

If you haven't taken a look at the Webley Alecto, maybe you should because it is a pretty amazing Pellet Pistol for target or pest control.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to go down the whole Facebook road as keeping up with all the social networking with my YouTube Channel is already a lot of work! But I caved in to the pressure and setup a Replica Airguns Facebook page.

Here is the last one for the day, I added the Umarex Walther CP88 Pellet Pistol to the Replica Airguns Store.

The outstanding workmanship and the simplified modular system help make this an outstanding choice for both experienced and novice shooters.

A few more Store product updates... I just added the Umarex Beretta PX4 Storm to go along with the PX4 Storm Recon we have in our Replica Airguns Store.

The Beretta Px4 Storm Recon air pistol is not only a BB gun, but a pellet gun as well. It will shoot either projectile from its revolutionary dual-ended magazine. This 16-shot repeater will have you shooting as fast as you can pull the trigger. There's an 8-shot rotary clip on one end of the stick mag, and another one at the other end. Since it shoots BBs or pellets, you'll have more flexibility with ammo choice.

A 12-gram CO2 is easily loaded into the grip and gives you plenty of shots before you need a refill. There's even an accessory rail under the barrel. Like the handgun, it has real blowback action, it really kicks, giving you a feeling of power that most airguns only hope to achieve! Once you start shooting, you won't want to stop, so get lots of RWS pellets, BBs and Walther CO2.

More great product for you, I just add the Walther CPSport Pellet Pistol to the Replica Airguns Store.

With Walther’s Fast-Action CO2 System, the CPSport is quickly ready to fire. The CO2 capsule is housed in a magazine that drops out of the grip with a realistic push of the magazine release lever that's located in the same place as it is on the Walther P99. Load its included rotary magazine with eight .177 caliber RWS lead pellets and enjoy shot after accurate shot. Modeled after Walther's P99 sidearm, the CPSport Air Pistol is an affordable pellet gun that will give you years of shooting enjoyment. Increase the fun with the CPSport by adding these optional accessories: Laser Sight, additional rotary magazines, additional Drop Out CO2 magazines.

I just added the excellently priced and well made Umarex HPP Blowback BB Pistol to the Replica Airguns Store.

The Umarex High Power Pistol (HPP) BB Repeater pistol has a 15-shot drop-out magazine for quick reloading. The 410 fps velocity is quite high for the class of pistol. The crisp blowback action simulates a real firearm. The heavyweight construction of the pistol and integrated accessory rail give it the look and feel of realism. A housed CO2 cartridge in the pistol grip provides the power for the this Sig Sauer looking heavy duty gun.

• 4.5mm BB
• CO2 Powered
• 15 round magazine
• 410 fps
• 1.8 pounds
• 3.6 inch steel non-rifled barrel

• EKOL ES 55 CO2 4.5MM BB PISTOL REVIEW

Another airgun I have been really curious about the actual fps, is the EKOL ES 55. It's one of my only BB pistols that can shoot clean though a soup can. Some of the other BB shooter almost make it but just not quite, even with ratings as high as 480 fps!

The EKOL ES 55 is an overall really nice BB gun with a heavy duty all metal build and it even sports a rifled barrel, another feature not often found in BB shooters.

<!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-9036472715040282"; /* Replica Airguns Content */ google_ad_slot = "1487049688"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 15; //-->

Now that I have my Chrony chronograph, I am able to actually test these guns and find out their true feet per second ratings and from what I'm seeing, most of the guns come in under their rated fps. My EKOL ES 55 actually did pretty well, the manual claims 120 M/S which translates to 396 fps but interestingly, they actually claimed 360 fps?

So I really needed to get to the bottom of it! I took 15 shots (a full magazine) with the EKOL ES 55 with a few seconds gap between each shot and the gun stayed pretty consistently right around the 420 fps mark. Not bad at all and actually above the claimed feet per second rating!

So if your looking for a good quality BB pistol with 400+ fps, look no further then the EKOL ES 55!

• WEBLEY ALECTO .177 AND .22 CALIBER MULTI-STROKE PNEUMATIC TARGET PISTOL

• WEBLEY ALECTO - ZORAKI HP-01 .177 & .22 CALIBER PCP AIR PISTOL REVIEW

I have been wanting to do a Chrony test for my Webley Alecto as I didn't have a chronograph at the time of my original review. Today was the day I got around to it and I am really happy with the results I got. Mine came with the pressure release valve adjusted fairly conservatively. I imagine this is a generic setting that is set the same for both the .177 caliber and .22 caliber versions based on the lighter .177 caliber having a faster muzzle velocity and hittiing the 495 fps with less pressure required.

In the case of a .22 caliber pellet and it having approximately double the weight, the pressure release valve may be adjusted a bit on the light side, but I was only guessing and I wanted to make sure I didn't have an air pistol shooting over 500fps as this would make it a restricted firearm here in Canada and although I have my restricted firearms license, I didn't want to have this particular pistol governed by the rules and regulations of a restricted firearm.

So lets get to my results. I was using crosman premium 14.3 grain pellets for this test, far from the heaviest .22 caliber pellets you can get. I also tested my Webley Alecto out with one, two , three and even four pumps. Keep in mind pumping the Webley Alecto four times is not recommended by the factory and could cause long term damage to your Alecto. I did it with mine because I will ultimately get asked what an extra pump will give you in terms of extra fps. 

• One Pump: 270.9 fps

• Two Pumps: 390.5 fps

• Three Pumps: 449.8 fps

• Four Pumps: 487 fps & 496.3 fps

So as you can see, I did not go over 500 fps even with four pumps which is exactly where I wanted this pistol to be around. If you do decide to do the pressure release valve mod on your Webley Alecto, I would recommend you also test yours out on a chronograph just in case your results are different then mine, and keep in mind modifying the Webley Alecto could void your warrantee. The last thing you want to be carrying around is an illegal firearm!

We get requests for accessories all the time and one of the more popular requests is for Red Dot Scopes! I will be expanding the Replica Airguns Store more frequently now and posting new arrivals as we add them to the Replica Airguns Store.

So to kick things off we have the BSA Multi-Purpose RD30 Red Dot Scope:

The BSA Multi-Purpose Sighting Systems are a wonderful light weight sight for close quarter and medium range targets. Light enough for small calibers plicking on the range, yet durable enough for larger calibers used by hunters and law enforcement departments. A great addition to your pistol or rifle!

• Obj. Lens Diameter 30mm
• 5 MOA
• One Year limited warranty
• 11 position rheostat 

Red Dot Scope BSA Multi-Purpose (RD30)

C$45.00

Type: BB air pistol.

Manufacturer:Crosman.

Model:1088S.

Materials: Mostly plastic.

Weight: 1.1 pounds.

Barrel: 3.8 inches, metal rifled.

Propulsion: CO2 x 1.

Action: Semi auto, double and single action.

Ammunition Type: .177 cal. pellets - 4.5mm BB's.

Ammunition Capacity: 8 round rotary magazine.

FPS: 430.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman 1088 is pretty good in both single and double action modes, obviously a bit lighter in single action then when in double action. When I was using single action mode, I found the gun would accidentally de-cock its self if I was too tentative right at the break point, I did get used to the break point and was able to shoot in single action mode very effectively with just a bit of practice.

Accuracy: I shot the Crosman 1088 air gun at a target from 20 feet away in a free standing position, and it performed well getting a 1.25 inch grouping right close to the center of the target while using .177 pellets. The rear sight is adjustable for windage which is nice in an entry level pellet gun, the rifled barrel definitely helped this pistol to shoot while using pellets, when using BB's it may not be as accurate.

Build Quality: The 1088 is not going to win any wards for quality of build as it's pretty much an all plastic gun, but Crosman did use metal where it counts the most, in the rifled barrel, the hammer and the CO2 screw and tab (of course there are some metal internal parts).

Realism: The Crosman 1088 is not an actual replica gun, but it does closely resemble the Ruger P345 (.45 Auto). The 1088 does not have any of the Ruger's trademarks or licensing but it does share the basic shape and design of the Ruger P345.

Purchased From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• The price is right!

• It has a rifled barrel.

• Can shoot both pellets and BB's.

• Has an adjustable rear sight for windage.

• Has good accuracy and decent power.

• CO2 screw and tab are hidden in the handle.

• Is both a single and double action shooter.

• Has a modern look with an under barrel accessory rail.

• Made in the US.

Cons:

• This gun is almost all plastic.

• Trigger in single action mode can sometime de-cock the gun when slowly activating the trigger.

Comments:

There is no doubt that if this pellet shooter had more metal, it would appeal to a lot more people and would probably fetch a lot more money! That said, the plastic does not actually take away from the shooting experience and if you can get your mind around the plastic build quality, you will find this is a great little diverse pellet pistol with many excellent features like a rifled barrel, single and double action mode, ability to shoot pellets and BB's all with an adjustable rear sight.

Type: Blank Pistol.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Major.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 1.25 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 7+1 rounds.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The EKOL Major is single action only, the trigger pull is relatively light as would be expected.

Accuracy: N/A.

Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my Zoraki blank guns. The EKOL Major is well built and uses good quality materials, this gun is almost all metal. The finish quality is typical of other Turkish guns - good but not perfect, the satin finish on the Major looks really good giving the gun a nice two-tone look. I can't say I like the grips all that much as they are a bit shinny, but they do the job and don't to be brittle or anything. The gun seems solid and the fit and finish are also respectable.

Realism: The EKOL Major is a copy of the Walther PPK pistol most notoriously used by Agent 007 in many of the early James Bond movies. It is a fairly accurate PPK copy other than the magazine release which on the EKOL Major is located on the bottom of the handle just behind the magazine, whereas on the real Walther PPK it is located on the left side of the frame just behind the trigger.

Purchased From: the Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• In Canada you can only get this gun in a blank version unless you have a prohibited gun license.

• If you're a James Bond fan, would make a great addition to your 007 collection.

• Performed well - no loading, ejecting or misfires.

• Even though it's small it still can take 7+1 rounds of 9mm P.A.K. ammo.

• One of the lower priced blank guns.

• Nice Satin two-tone finish.

Cons:

• Magazine ejector is on the bottom and not the side like a real PPK, but it's still effective.

• No slide release but this is true to the original design.

• I wouldn't of minded the grips to be more of a matte finished, not a big fan of shinny grips

Comments:

The EKOL Major is a nice overall 9mm P.A.K. blank shooter, it has a very simple design and the classic semi auto compact pistol look. It is one of the easier guns to filed strip making it easy to clean if you plan on using it regularly. If your a James Bond fan and want the Agent 007 sidearm without the hassle of actually purchasing a real Walther PPK then the EKOL Major might just be right for you.

Type: Blank Pocket Revolver.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Arda.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: .55 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 8mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 5 rounds.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: As the Arda is single action only, the trigger pull requires pre-cocking of the hammer before each shot, just like the old west six shooters.

Accuracy: N/A.

Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my Zoraki blank guns. The EKOL Arda pocket revolver is well built and uses good quality materials, this gun is almost all metal. The finish quality is typical of other Turkish guns - good but not perfect, the gloss black finish on the Arda looks really good and seems to have filled in most of the imperfections. You will get some powder burns in areas that the gasses escape such as between the cylinder and the beginning of the barrel.

Realism: The EKOL Arda is fairly unique, I don't know of an actual gun that it resembles? It's kind of a cross between a Derringer and a tinny snub nosed revolver.

Purchased From: the Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• In Canada these guns are some of the few blank guns available for purchase that are not prohibited.

• Would make a good training gun animals (retrievers - guard dogs - police dogs) or a compact starter pistol.

• Revolvers are always dependable, no loading or ejecting problems like you can have with some semi-autos. 

• Extremely compact blank shooter.

• Nice gloss black finish.

Cons:

• 8mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive.

• Only holds 5 rounds

• Single action only with pre-cocking required.

• The powder from shooting will wear the finish a bit between the barrel and the cylinder.

The EKOL Arda blank pocket revolver is a nice addition to our growing number of legal blank guns in Canada. The Arda is a very interesting looking blank pistol and it may not appeal to everyone? I found it so unique looking that I just had to have it as it's just nothing like any other blank gun I own. If you want an ultra compact pistol with revolver reliability then pick yourself up an EKOL Arda and get a small gun with a big bang!
