UPDATE: All Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 and Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistols now ship with the Shorter Barrels!!

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 GBB Airsoft Pistol in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sean Airgun Shooting range. This product now comes with the longer sticking out barrel to increase the FPS for import into Canada to get it up and over the 360 FPS requirement using a .20 gram Airsoft BB. In my previous video I test out the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistol but swapped out the longer barrel for the shorter barrel to see how much the sorter barrel reduces velocity and also if there is an impact on accuracy? Make sure to watch that video to get the scoop on the shorter barrel with both the Umarex Glock 17 dam Glock 19 GBB Airsoft Pistols

For the velocity portion of this test I placed several .25 gram Airsoft BB’s through my Chronograph and was please to get a very consistent 355 average FPS reading which is very close to the claimed 360 FPS when using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s so if I had been using a lighter BB I would have for sure seen velocity up and over the 360 FPS.

In terms of accuracy the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 GBB Airsoft Pistol also performed really well, maybe not as well as the short barrel Glock 19 Gen 3 I tested just last week that seemed to group just a little bit tighter and was a little bit more well vented on the target. Both the Glock 17 and Glock 19 shot a bit low but I am sure a slight hop-up tweak could rectify that. I did however manage to get around a 2 - 2.5 inch 10 shot grouping.

So in summary both the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 and Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistols at least for now come with the longer barrels only and so you options are to either cut down the existing barrel or buy a shorter barrel and replace it, that is unless you like the look of the long sticking out barrel ;) You will get a velocity drop of around 75 FPS with the shorter barrel installed but I would say accuracy should be about the same at the end of the day.

UPDATE: All Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 and Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistols now ship with the Shorter Barrels!!

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistol in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sean Airgun Shooting range. This product now comes with the longer sticking out barrel to increase the FPS for import into Canada to get it up and over the 360 FPS cut off using a .20 gram Airsoft BB. I wanted to see how much of a difference the shorter barrel would make so I will be comparing the short barrel with the long barrel to find out the FPS and accuracy differences. In the Video I only shoot the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistol with the short barrel but in my next video I Shot the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 GBB Airsoft Pistol with its included long barrel for comparison.

For the velocity portion of this test I placed 5 .25 gram Airsoft BB’s through my Chronograph and was please to get a very consistent 276 average FPS reading with the slowest shot hitting 274 FPS and the fastest shot hitting 278 FPS so really close. Keep in mind I was using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s rather than .20 gram Airsoft BB’s so I would imagine the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistol even using the shorter barrel should hit closer to 300 FPS with the lighter Airsoft BB’s.

View fullsize

In terms of accuracy the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistol also performed really well, I did not make any adjustments to the gun after installing the shorter barrel not even to the hopup. I was pleased to see a fairly well centered 10 shot grouping mostly within a 2 inch grouping with perhaps one flyer extending that group to about 2.5 inches. All shots where well centered left to right but just a light bit under the target, a quick hopup adjustment should rectify that.

My next Vimeo Video will be focusing on the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 GBB Airsoft Pistol with its included long barrel to see what kind of velocity gains we get for it and if the longer barrel helps with accuracy at all so look for that video early next week!

View fullsize

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 and Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistols is fairly short with only a little bit of take up, the release is light and crips. The blowback action resets the internal Hammer / Striker with each shot for that true single action trigger and it’s also nice that the trigger does have a working trigger safety like the real steel versions.

View fullsize

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot either of the long barrel Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 and Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistols so I can only quote what Umarex is saying in terms of FPS which is around 410 using Green Gas or Propane. These longer barreled versions should shoot fairly hot compared to the much shorter barreled versions and since i do have a short barrel Glock 17 Gen 4 I may also compare it at the same time to see what the actual barrel length does in terms of fps velocity. Of course my Field test Shooting video will also focus on accuracy add see what can be accomplished shooting a 10 shot grouping at 30 feet down range.

View fullsize

Build Quality: The Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 and Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistols seems well made overall. It does seem a little bit underweight but still feels solid enough in the hand, Glocks are not known for being all that hefty. The Slide is metal but has a bit of an unusual finish that makes it look a lot like the plastic frame rather than a more shiny metal look. All the parts seem to fit nicely, maybe even a bit snug at first as I noticed the side had a bit of friction to it but seems to be working in nicely now.

View fullsize

Realism: The Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 and Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistols look the part of these Glocks all day long. Other then the slightly lighter weight it would be hard to tell off hand until you remove the magazine and take a closer look. All the parts work as you would expect them to, similar to the real steel version and you can even fully field strip the them which makes getting to and adjusting the hop-up easy enough to do.
Available From: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

• Decent weight and feel to them, build quality seems good.

• Really nice looking replicas of the original Glock 17 Gen 4 / Glock 19 Gen 3.

• Fully Glock licensed via Umarex.

• Easy to see white dot sights front and back with rear sight adjustable for windage.

• Recessed barrel for added realism when cut down.

• Accessory rail for adding a laser or tactical light.

• Full size drop out metal magazines that holds the Green Gas and 6mm Airsoft BB’s.

• Warning instruction are nice and discreet under trigger guard.

• Nice light SAO trigger as the blowback action pre-cocks the internal hammer/striker.

• Working trigger safeties.

• No red tips and more realistic outer barrel size.

View fullsize

Cons:

• Only comes with the longer barrel so you need to either cut it down or replace it with a shorter barrel.

• No way to put a mock suppressor on it to keep extended barrel.

Comments:

Getting the Umarex BB versions of the Glock 17 and Glock 19 has for sure been a bit easier since fps velocity is not a factor. So it’s great that we at least have a way to import these two Umarex Glock GBB Airsoft Pistols into Canada! Yes some home modifications may be required to cut down the inner barrel as the long extended barrels are certainly not practical for every day shooting. That said with the extended long barrels I did get out and shoot a few rounds through them and the added barrel length really does allow for a much faster velocity Airsoft BB making these Umarex GBB Airsoft Glocks more like snipper pistols :)

UPDATE: All Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 and Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistols now ship with the Shorter Barrels!!

In this YouTube Update Preview Video I go over a couple new Umarex Glock Licensed GBB Airsoft Pistols that I feel require a bit of explaining. Essentially we already stock these same Umarex Glock Blowback Airsoft Pistols, but in the CO2 magazine versions. The Umarex Glock 17 Gen4 and Umarex Glock 19 Gen3 I highlight in this video come with Green Gas Magazines and both have extended inner barrels to allow for Canada import to increase the velocity to our over 360 fps using a .20 gram Airsoft BB.

View fullsize

Usually Green Gas Airsoft Pistols with extended inner barrels will have the ability to unscrew the extension and will even come with a shorter replaceable barrel but in this case all you get is the longer one piece inner barrel. My suggestion is to either cut down the long inner barrel to fit within the out barrel or purchase a short inner barrel when they are available.

At the moment we do not have either one of these Airsoft Pistols listed in our Replica Airguns Stores but they should pop up shortly!

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is good in both single and double action. Double action as expected has the longer heavier pull but is still smooth and fairly light with a predictable release. Single action shooting has a much shorter trigger pull with a bit of take-up and an even lighter release than in double action shooting mode.

View fullsize

Accuracy: This is one of those times I actually performed my Field Test Portion of my Review first so I do have some feedback in terms of the accuracy and velocity for the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol. WE claims an fps of around 366+ using the extended barrel that comes with it so this is how I tested it. I did use .26 gram airsoft BB’s so the fps was a bit lower but I did get close to 320 fps, So you should expect around a 20% increase in FPS using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s, so closer to 360-380 fps. In terms of accuracy I did notice that the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol shot rather low for me, as much as 8 inches at 30 feet out, perhaps adjustment get hop-up will fix that, at longer ranges it should… That said I found I was able to get around a 1-5.2 inch 10 round grouping at 30 feet out. In terms of full auto, all I can say is don’t expect to hit very much you point at as the gun really likes to rock around!

View fullsize

Build Quality: The WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is a really gorgeous looking pistol and has one of my favorite looking finishes in that stainless steel look. You will find it has an overall solid build quality, it is virtually all metal with only the grips and some internal parts like the gas chamber and nozzle being plastic. There is almost zero slide wiggle and all in all this Airsoft pistol performed great for me with no mechanical problems.

View fullsize

Realism: As is with most Full Blowback Airsoft Pistols they are built to look and act the part of their real steel counterparts and the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is no exception! All mechanical parts work as intended and you can easily field strip the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol to swap out the internal barrel and adjust the hop-up. I like the fact that WE Airsoft color matched the magazine rather than simply shipping it with the black magazine as I have found some other companies do.

View fullsize

Pros:

• All metal pistol with good weight to it.

• Crisp firm full blowback operation.

• Excellent fit and finish.

• No markings on the metal parts at all, just the WE branding on the grips.

• Color matching magazine.

• Gun will accept real Beretta M9 grips.

• Semi and full auto selector safety switch.

• White dot sights front and back.

• Good fps, right around the claimed 366 using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s.

• Very believable working replica of the real steel Beretta M9 Pistol.

• Fully field strip-able.

• Comes with extension barrel and replaceable inner barrel if not going to use extension.

View fullsize

Cons:

• No marking on the gun if that is important to you?

• Shot rather low in my testing but hop-up and barrel change may fix it.

• Almost unusable in Full Auto mode.

View fullsize

The WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is one of the nicer looking Airsoft Beretta M9 pistols on the market and is comparable in quality to other higher end brands like KWA and KJWorks. The price point is also in line with what you are getting. I really like the Stainless - Silver - Chrome finish or what ever you want to call it… One thing I was not able to determine 100% is if this version is in fact the Gen 2 version but I do believe it is given that it has the black gas tube in it. We just don’t have it advertised as such. If you’re in the market for a Beretta style M9 Pistol then consider the WE M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol as a solid choice.

I haven’t reviewed many WE products over the years as they where not part of our inventory in the Replica Airguns Store. The good news is we do carry a selection of their pistols in our Canada Store including the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol I review in this video along with some 1911’s. In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Shooting Range to find out what the real world velocity and accuracy is.

Starting with the velocity portion of the test I place 6 rounds through my Chronograph using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s and I averaged 317 fps which is about right considering the claimed fps is 366+ using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. The temperature was also not overly hot or cold in the Sea Can so in warner shooting conditions the fps will up a bit too.

View fullsize

Next I performed my accuracy test where i generally shoot 10 rounds on a paper target for 30 feet back ling a rested shooting position, sand bag up front and sensated in the back. I found the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol was shooting a good 6-8 inches low at this range with the default hop-up setup so I had to aim near the top of my target to place rounds closer to the bullseye for the sake of the video. I would say the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is capable of 1-2 inch 10 rod groupings, my test was closer to 2 inches but I can see potential for sub 2 inch groups. A quick hop-up adjustment should bring the aim point closer to where the rounds are actually hitting. I did perform a full auto mag dump and the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol was able to get through all 26 rounds with a full mag of gas but as expected accuracy was not very goo dat all as the heavy blowback action really throws this gun around.

All in all the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol is a really nice Airsoft pistol that performs fairly well and in a game situation would get the job done nicely. It’s also a real looker with it’s stainless looking finish. Keep posted for my Table Top Video I will be making shortly for the WE 1039 M92 GBB Full Auto Airsoft Pistol.

In this Field Test Shooting Video I put the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master John Wick GBB Airsoft Pistol through its paces to see how well it performs in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range. I first place 5 rounds through the chronograph to see what the actual real world velocity is and then I shoot 10 rounds on my paper target 30 feet downrange to see how tight of a grouping I can get with it.

For my Chronograph Test I was using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s so the velocity will be a little bit under the claimed 370 using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. The temperature was average, not hot or cold so right around room temperature. My 5 shot sting resulted in an average of 312 fps so I would guesstimate an additional 50-60 fps using the .20 gram BB’s since the Airsoft BB’s I was using where ab out 20% heavier than what was claimed. So 370 is for sure possible with the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master John Wick GBB Airsoft Pistol.

View fullsize

Going onto my accuracy test, again I used the same .25 gram Airsoft BB’s and placed 10 rounds back to back into my fresh paper target setup 30 feet away. As usually I had my hands resting on a sand bag up front and I was sitting in the back which helps get a fairly stable shooting position but not without some human factor involved. I did manage to place 4 rounds right inside the 1.5 inch bullseye but 6 did come out with my last shot being a bit of a flyer hitting rather low on the target. If I removed the flyer form the equation the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master John Wick GBB Airsoft Pistol did mange to shoot a 3 inch grouping. I do feel I can do better with this Airsoft pistol when I dial in the right Airsoft BB’s, hop-up and of course get a bit more use to shooting it.

All things considered, I really like the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master John Wick GBB Airsoft Pistol! It has one of the best triggers I have ever reviewed with a nice combination of short take up and light predictable trigger release. The blowback action is fast yet not overwhelming and the overall feel of shooting this gun is very satisfying. Make sure to also checkout my Table Top Video Review for the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master John Wick GBB Airsoft Pistol where I go into more details about the specifications and features along with some nice close up video.

You can double tap with ease making the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master a great action pistol. One of the shortest and smoothest 1911 triggers I have tested, at least up there with the best for sure!

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master so I have no idea what the actual real world fps is going to be and how accurate it proves itself so my comments for this part of the review will ahed to wait till I perform my Field Test Shooting Video coming up shortly…

Build Quality: The EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master is for the most part an all metal gun with a CNC Machined Aluminum Slide and metal slide along with mostly ,metal parts throughout. The guide rod is stainless steel and the barrel is also aluminum with an anodized rose gold finish. The fit and finish is awesome on the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master with attention to detail everywhere. The only plastic I could find on this Airsoft pistol would be the grips and the skeletonized trigger.

Realism: The EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master is based off of the STI 2011 but is really a replica of the John Wick pistol used in the John Wick 3 movie and is virtually the spitting image to it. You will find licensing and trademarks where you would find them on the real steel version. Of course all the mechanical parts work like the real version and the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master can be fully field stripped.

Pros:

• Super crisp, light and short SAO trigger.

• Fit and finish is excellent, very little slide wiggle.

• Extremely close replica of the custom STI 2011 pistol used in the John Wick 3 movie.

• Super crisp and fast blowback action, great for action shooting.

• Licensing all over this gun true to the real steel version..

Cons:

• Comes with the red tip but can be remove pretty easily.

• Need a tool to remove the two part guide rod and barrel (don’t lose the screw!).

• No dot’s on the rear sight.

Comments:

The EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master has got to be one of the most gorgeous and sticking Airsoft Pistols I have reviewed so far. Just everything about this pistol looks and feel great. For a $299 Canadian Pistol you get a really well made high quality product that will be a collectors item to own for years to come. It’s not a small or light gun but for it’s size it feels really well balanced in the hand but for those with small hands it may be a bit too much of a handful. If you see them in stock on our website, make sure to grab one while you can!

In this Update Preview Unboxing Video I take a look at 5 products that came across my table and that I have not reviewed so far on the Replica Airguns YouTube channel.

First I show off an HPA tank from Air Venturi that works perfectly for the Sig Sauer MPX and MCX Pellet Rifles allowing for more consistent fps and I would image a higher overall fps? We will find out when I test it out in the replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Range.

Next I take a look at the KJWorks M9A1 GBB Airsoft Pistol, I hover revived the CO2 version before but this version comes with the Gas magazine rather than the CO2 mag for those that prefer gas operated Blowback Airsoft Pistols. Because of the slightly lower FPS the Gas version comes with a barrel extension to make it Canada import friendly.

Probably one of the most interesting product I look at in this video at least for me is the EMG JW3 Combat Master GBB Airsoft Pistol. This Airsoft pistol is mainly aluminum with some polymer based off of the 2011 STI and was featured in the 2019 John Wick 3 Film. I’m really looking forward to testing this one out in the Sea Can Replica Airguns Airgun Range!

Moving along to another Air Pistol I finally get my hands on the Crosman P1 which is really just a KWC PT92 4.5mm Blowback CO2 BB Pistol but with Crosman Branding and an included laser. Since I have never shot a PT92 BB Pistol with a laser I will probably make a Field Test Shooting Video to see how well it performs.

Last up I take a look at the ASG TAC-6 which is pretty much the exact same ASG TAC-4.5 CO2 Air Rifle I tested a while back but in this case the 6 refers to it being a 6mm Airsoft Rifle rather than a 4.5mm Steel BB Riffle. I am not sure I will do a full Table Top Video since these guns are virtually identical but just in different Ammo types but I hope to get outside and see how well it performs shooting at a bit more distance than the 30 foot indoor range I usually test my Airgun in.

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

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

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

View fullsize

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

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

It was a decent day today, not too cold and not raining at least at the time I and ethics video :) I figured with my new Insta60 One R and iVUE Vista cameras it would be a great day to test them out outside shooting with my G&G SMC-9 Full Auto Airsoft Carbine. I like the bak for more regulated Indoor Field Tests, these outside usually clay pigeon shooting videos are a lot more fun and I think a nice break for everyone.

So in this video I have three cameras rolling and switch camera switch back and forth throughout the video to make the experience more immersive. I have cameras setup front and back (Sony RX100 IV in front & Sony HDR-AS15 Back), along with my iVUE camera glasses and my Insta360 One R mounted to the barrel of my G&G SMC-9. All in all I think the video turned out well. It may be time to upgrade my Sony Action Camera as it is probably the oldest camera in my collection and you can see in the video it does not look as good as the other cameras.

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."

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

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

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

View fullsize

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

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

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

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range to see if the real world performance matches the manufacturers claims. I first place 5 rounds through my Chronograph using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s with a fully gassed up extended magazine to find out what the actual FPS is. I then shoot 10 rounds from a seated and rested shooting position into a fresh paper target setup 30 feet down range to see just what we can expect and then just for fun I shoot the 40 rounds left in the 50 round magazine in full auto to see how this also effects accuracy.

Starting with my Chronograph test, the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine averaged 339 FPS with the fastest shot recorded at 350 fps and the slowest being 324 fps, so very consistent in terms of sustained fps during my Chronograph velocity testing. The velocity was a bit under the claimed 366-375 fps but I was using slightly heavier BB’s and it wasn’t super warm temperatures in the Sea Can on this testing day, around room temperature, (20 degrees Celsius or 68 degrees Fahrenheit).

Moving onto the accuracy testing for the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine, it performed pretty decent shooting about a 10 round 4 inch grouping but if I removed two flyers top and bottom the grouping would have been loser to 1.5 inches. The grouping was well centered on the target but I did adjust the sights up a bit as initially out of the box the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine was shooting fairly low at 30 feet out. The good news is the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine has fully adjustable sights for windage and elevation along with the 120 clicks of hop-up adjustment. When it came to my full auto testing I found I was shooting really low, perhaps from the blowback recoil pushing me of target? This was the case at least when I did a 40 round mag dump. When I performed the test using shorter bursts I was able to keep more rounds centered on the target for sure but accuracy in full auto was not nearly as good as in semi auto because of the heavy blowback.

Over all the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine performed decent for me, the velocity was bang on right around what is claimed by G&G allowing this GBB Airsoft Carbine to shoot targets at further out ranges. Accuracy in semi auto was also very good but again shooting in full auto will take a bit more of your attention keeping the blowback recoil under control, for this reason burst fire in full auto will give you better accuracy which is more than likely how you would be shooting the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine anyways. I really like the diversity you get with the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine and if you are into Gas Blowback Airsoft guns, then I feel you get similar performance to an AEG but with a lower capacity magazines, but then again I may just have to get my hands on a drum magazine for the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine and see how that changes things.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine is typical single action only with a soft short take-up and light release point. I would not call this a crips trigger since it does have a rather spongy feel to it but this is only noticeable when you are easing the trigger slowly. In reality you will be engaging the trigger quickly when shooting it on the field and won’t notice any of the creep or take-up. I would consider it to be a decent trigger pull over all.

Accuracy: I have not done my actual Field Test Shooting video review for the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine but as with most of my Full auto Airguns I find it hard not resist going outside and blasting off at least one magazine in full auto. Of course this was the case with the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine and I can tell you I went through all 50 rounds in not time and the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine rounds went exactly where I pointed the gun short and long range so I expect my Field Test Shooting video to produce good results.

Build Quality: The G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine feels amazing in the hand with a lot of metal going on in the upper Carbine conversion kit portion, the front rail assembly is CNC Aluminum and the Pop-up iron sights are actually metal. The rear fold out stock is plastic but it is sold and just like the rest of the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine very well made with great fit and finish. Of course the lower polymer frame is from the G&G GTP9 and just like all of the G&G pistols is very well made.

View fullsize

Realism: The G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine genuinely feels like a real steel firearm when holding it in the hand. Shooting it feels much the same but obviously with a lot less recoil than a powder burner. Just like a real steel 9mm Carbine the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine mechanically works virtually the same with working slide catch release, charging handles, magazine release, and duel safeties, all ambidextrous by the way. As expected you can fully field strip the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine.

Available in the: Replica Airguns Store

Comments:

I am a big fan of the full line of G&G Airsoft guns and so far their GBB pistol lineup has been a treat to review, adding their new G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine to the lineup for me is the perfect mix between their GBB Pistol lineup and their mostly AEG Rifle lineup. I am hoping to see if I can acquire the drum magazine and eventually see how that works with the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine, for now the 50 round extended magazine will have to do. Really looking forward to testing out the G&G SMC-9 GBB Airsoft Carbine so stay posted for those results shortly!

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

View fullsize

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

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the G&G Piranha MK I & TR GBB Airsoft Pistols in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range to see what the real world performance is for these very similar Airsoft Pistols. I first place 5 rounds through my Chronograph for each Airsoft Gun using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s with fully gassed up magazines to find out what the actual fps velocity is. I then shoot 10 rounds from a seated and rested shooting position into fresh paper targets setup 30 feet down range to see just what we can expect in terms of accuracy from the G&G Piranha series.

Starting with my Chronograph test, a placed 5 rounds through my Chronograph with both the G&G Piranha MK I and G&G Piranha TR GBB Airsoft Pistols. Technically they should have performed nearly identical but not all guns are setup exactly the same out of the box and so the G&G Piranha MK I GBB Airsoft Pistol did shoot a bit hotter than the G&G Piranha & TR GBB Airsoft Pistol averaging 290 fps versus 257 fps. As a quick test I placed the magazine from the MK I into the TR and the G&G Piranha TR GBB Airsoft Pistol did shoot much hotter and very close to the G&G Piranha MK resultsI. I would assume the valves in these magazines where perhaps not letting out the same amount of Gas hence the difference in velocity. The velocity was well under the claimed 370+but I was using slightly heavier BB’s and it was a little cold in the Sea Can on this testing day, not quite room temperature. Around 19 degrees Celsius or 66 degrees Fahrenheit.

View fullsize

Moving onto the accuracy testing for the G&G Piranha MK I & TR GBB Airsoft Pistols, they performed pretty well shooting 10 round 2 inch groupings with both Airsoft Pistols shooting on the money vertically while the G&G Piranha MK I shot a bit to the left and the G&G Piranha TR shooting well centered all around.

View fullsize

All in both of the G&G Piranha MK I & TR GBB Airsoft Pistols performed good for me, I would have liked to have seen the fps higher since both guns where well under the claimed 370+ fps but for close quarter shooting you should have no problem with either of them and again maybe your magazine will shoot a bit hotter than mine did. The partial blowback action is snappy and quick with just enough recoil action to give that realistic shooting experience. The triggers on the G&G Piranha MK I & TR GBB Airsoft Pistols are really nice allowing for quick tight followup shots and again if you like the look and feel of a Glock but perhaps want something a bit more unique then you will want to consider one of the G&G Piranha series Airsoft Pistols know doubt.

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range to see what the real world performance is for this Beretta 92 styled G&G Airsoft Pistol. I first place 5 rounds through my Chronograph using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s with a fully gassed up magazine to find out what the actual FPS is. I then shoot 10 rounds from a seated and rested shooting position into a fresh paper target setup 30 feet down range to see just what we can expect in terms of accuracy from the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol.

Starting with my Chronograph test, the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol averaged 275 FPS with the fastest shot recorded at 278 FPS and the slowest being 274 FPS, so very consistent in terms of sustained FPS doing my testing. The velocity was well under the claimed 366 but I was using slightly heavier BB’s and it was a little cold in the Sea Can on this testing day, not quite room temperature. Around 19 degrees Celsius or 66 degrees Fahrenheit.

Moving onto the accuracy testing for the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol, it performed pretty decent shooting about a 10 round 1.5 inch grouping if I removed one flyer that pulled a bit to the left. The grouping was a little bit low but well centered left and right so even though the sights are none adjustable I should be able to pull up the shot placement a bit using the hop-up adjustment.

View fullsize

All in all the G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol performed well for me, I would have liked to see the FPS just a bit higher but for close quarter shooting you should have no problem with it. The blowback action is nice and firm and the typical Beretta single and double action trigger is true to form allowing for a round in the pipe with the hammer safely decocted but ready to go with a quick release of the safety and a double action pull of the first round. The G&G GPM92 GP2 GBB Airsoft Pistol may be a bit bulky and heavy for some smaller handed shooter so keep that in mind.
