Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

The Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol is a looker for sure replicating the look of a Glock 17 Gen 5 which includes Umarex Glock licensing, lots of metal parts and solid blowback action. That’s all great but does it shoot good? In this Filed Test Shooting video for the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol I put it through its paces using my Chronograph to find out the real world velocity and I also place 10 shots on a paper target to see what kind of accuracy we can get from 30 feet away.

Starting with my power or velocity test I put 5 rounds through my Chronograph using lead pellets that where just over 7 gran. I was all using a brand new CO2 and the temperature being around 21 degrees Celsius or 70 degrees Fahrenheit, so not too hot or cold. Full disclaimer, I was having some feeding problems with the magazine at first but it did seem to sort itself out near the end of this review… All that said, I was able to get an average of 320 fps with my slowest shoot hitting 309 fps and my fastest shot hitting 327 fps, so pretty consistent overall.

I then moved on to my accuracy portion of the Field Test for the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol Luckily the pellet feeding and trigger seemed to work better for me during this portion of the test but the trigger pull was very unpredictable being super hard with some shots and rather easy for others. This is not ideal for getting a good accuracy result, but I did the best I could and surprisingly got around a 3 inch grouping with a very uncooperative trigger. My grouping did hit the target a little bit to the left but was well centered up and down.

I am not a fan of belt fed magazines over all even though Sig Sauer does seem to be able to pull them off better than anyone. Maybe Umarex needs to do a little bit more work here to get better trigger pull consistency and an overall lighter trigger pull. Maybe the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol needs a bit more break in time as it did seem to perform better near the end of my Field Test Review. I would also like to try adding some silicone lubrication ot the magazine as friction seems to be the enemy of belt fed magazines… I am not sure if the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol is a big recommendation for me or not, but it is a really decent CO2 Airgun in many ways. If you're willing to take a bit of a chance that the trigger will improve over time and perhaps a bit of lube will improve things then checkout the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol in our Canada and US online Replica Airguns Stores.

Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Blowback CO2 Pellet Pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by Umarex.
Model: Glock 17 Gen 5.
Materials: Metal & Polymer.
Weight: 1.6 pounds (725 grams).
Barrel: 4.5 inches metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x 1.
Action: Semi auto blowback, DOA trigger.
Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 21 round drop out full size metal magazine.
FPS: Claimed 370.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol is what I would describe as closer to a DOA (Double Action Only) trigger. The blowback action does retract the internal hammer/striker which does relieve some of the trigger pull but the trigger is also used to rotate the belt magazine which gives the trigger a kind of friction feel especially right at the end of the pull where the rotation occurs. That said it is not a terrible trigger like some other belt fed Airguns but it is certainly nutlike a standard SAO type Glock trigger.

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol so I can only quote what Umarex is saying in terms of FP2 which is 370. That sounds a bit high for a pellet Airgun but they may be claiming this velocity using a light weight pellets perhaps made out of an alloy rather than lead? I guess we will find out the real world fps using lead pellets and also how accurate it will be when I do my Full Field Test Shooting Video.

Build Quality: The Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol like most of the Umarex Glocks is very well made. I am thinking that Glock to allow Umarex to license Glock Pistols hammy have a quality control as part of this license agreement? Either way the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol is a solid and well built Airgun all around with quality material and very good fit and finish.

Realism: The Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol in terms of realism as compared to a real steel Glock 19 Gen 5 for sure hits the mark in most categories. It is a bit lighter and you can not field strip it easily, there is also the not so much recessed barrel that is a bit of a giveaway but in terms of most other attributes the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 replicates a real Glock… Including the basic looks and feel, the metal slide and polymer frame, the full size drop out metal magazine, the blowback action and most of the working parts including the slide catch release, magazine release and trigger safety.

Pros:

  • Good weight and feel to it, build quality and fit and finish seem very good.

  • Really nice looking and full featured replica of the original Glock 17 Gen 5.

  • Fully Glock licensed via Umarex.

  • Easy to see white dot sights front and back.

  • Working trigger safety.

  • Accessory rail for adding a laser or tactical light.

  • Full size drop out metal magazine that holds the CO2 and .177 caliber pellets.

  • Nice high 21 round capacity.

  • Slide spring feels nice and heavy provide a decent blowback recoil effect.

  • Safety built into the serial number plate area keeps it well hidden.

  • Can see through ejection port when magazine is out.

  • Warning instruction are nice and discreet under trigger guard.

  • 370 claimed fps is good for a CO2 blowback pellet pistol.

Cons:

  • Barrel is not really all that recessed.

  • No way to easily field strip it.

  • Don’t like the clam shell packaging.

  • Trigger is a bit on the heavy side.

Comments:

I think many of us having been waiting for a pellet shooting version of the Glock from Umarex. I am a bit surprised they went with a belt fed version as belt fed magazines tend to be a bit on the heavy trigger pull side. Yes the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol has a stronger trigger pull as compared to a 4.5mm BB or 6mm Airsoft version of the same Umarex gun, as most of these Umarex based Glocks utilize a SAO trigger which is more comparable to a real steel Glock. On the plus side the Pellet version should be a bit more accurate, but we will see how this pans out when I do my comprehensive Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol.

Umarex HK P30 - T4E HDB - ASG Dan Wesson 2.5 - KJWorks KP13 Update Preview

No Comments

In this Preview Review Video I take a look at 4 newer products now in our Replica Airguns Online Store. One is a 4.5mm Steel BB Revolver, two are 6mm Airsoft Pistols and one is a .68 caliber Paintball Shotgun.

The first item I take look at in this video is the Umarex HK30 AEG Airsoft Pistol, this product is pretty entry level with analyst all plastic build and is very light to hold. It does however shoot in both semi and full auto since it is an AEG Airsfto Pistol (not many of them out there). The fps is rather low at a claimed fps at just under 200, the Umarex HK30 AEG Airsoft Pistol also comes with two 16 round remove; plastic magazines. Who knows, maybe it will be fun?

Next I take a look at the ASG Dan Wesson 2.5 inch 4.5mm Steel BB Gold Revolver. This is a CO2 powered shell loading BB revolver very much like similar ones I have reviewed in the past but in Gold finish. Will the gold finishes make it perform better, well I guess we better find out!

I then take a look at a “Glock Like” CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol for KJWorks called the KP13. It has a full size drop out metal magazine that holds the CO2 along with 24 rounds of 6mm Airsoft BB’s. The KJWorks KP-13 has a metal slide, metal magazine and polymer frame with a velocity over 360fps using the included barrel extension.

Last but perhaps the most interesting for me is the Umarex T4E HDB which is a lower cost Paintball/Rubber Ball Shotgun which could possibly be used for home protection? The T4E HDB is a mostly plastic constructed rifle with decent weight to it and uses an internal spring fed 16 round magazine. You will find all kinds of mounting points for accessories and for a sling on the Umarex T4E HDB and again at much lower cost than similar T4E rifle based Paintball/Rubber ball Airguns.

Umarex NXG CO2 BB Pump Shotgun Table Top Review

1 Comment

Type: BB Rifle.
Manufacturer: Umarex.
Model: NXG CO2 BB Pump Shotgun
Materials: Mostly all plastic construction.
Weight: 2 pounds (908 grams).
Length: 29.5 inches (749mm).
Barrel Length: 12 inches (30 cm) smoothbore barrel.
Propulsion: Single CO2 cartridge.
Action: Pump repeater.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 10 rounds.
FPS: 450+ fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex NXG CO2 BB Pump Shotgun is pretty decent, there is a short task up and fairly easy release as the pump action not only turns the rotary magazine but also cocks the internal hammer/striker system. So you will need to pump it before your first shot and after each shot.

Accuracy: I have not Field Test Reviewed the Umarex NXG CO2 BB Pump Shotgun yet but will be making a full Fields Test Review this week to find out what to expect in terms of accuracy and velocity. So we will find out if the fps is closer to the on the box specs of 450 fps or the mostly online specs of 490 fps. Perhaps somewhere in-between?

Build Quality: The Umarex NXG CO2 BB Pump Shotgun is almost all plastic which is not a bad thing in terms of quality and durability. The fact that it only weighs in at 2 pounds may make it feel kind of light and cheap but in a drop or fall situation it means it will most lily not sustain any damage because of the light weight. Most of todays airguns when made out of metals generally are made out of pot metal or zinc alloy which is a nice heavy metal that looks and feels great but is not super strong so when you drop a heavier gun made out of this material it can easily get damaged.

Realism: The Umarex NXG CO2 BB Pump Shotgun looks like a traditional pump action shotgun and even has a little bit of a recessed barrel to make it more believable but it is smaller in size since it is designed more for younger and smaller shooters. The light weight is not only a giveaway but makes ti feel more like a toy than a real gun. If you can ignore that then hopefully you can enjoy the Umarex NXG CO2 BB Pump Shotgun for what it is which is a low cost compact BB rifle made for customs interested in Airguns liek the Red Ryder but that perhaps want a bit more power.

Pros:

  • Low cost CO2 rifle great for all ages and sizes.

  • Has a fiber optic front sight.

  • Comes in a nice looking two tone Black/FDE color scheme.

  • Fairly easy to pump since the pumping action is not required to activate a spring or compress air.

  • Built in manual thumb safety.

  • Stock and high check rest position feel good and a good size length for smaller younger shooters.

  • Rotary drop out magazine holds 10 4.5mm steel BB’s for quick follow up shots.

  • Trigger feels pretty good, short and fairly light.

  • Full ambidextrous design.

  • Perhaps a step up for entry level shooter over a Red Ryder type BB rifle in terms of power.

  • Overall a decent looking air rifle.

Cons:

  • Mostly plastic, so a bit on the light weight side.

  • Sights are not adjustable in any way.

  • May be a bit cramped for larger shooters.

Comments: The Umarex NXG CO2 BB Pump Shotgun is not going to win any prizes for quality and realism but keep in mind it is really designed more for entry level younger shooters getting into the Airgun hobby. For them this will be not so intimidating as a larger, heavier more realistic version of a replica Shotgun. I think it will be realistic enough for most new Airgun Shooters and in terms of performance and features it is for sure a step up form something like a Red Ryder BB Rifle. I am looking forward to my upcoming Field Test Shooting Review out what the actual velocity is and what kind of groupings I can get shooting 30 feet down range on a paper target.

Umarex Legends CO2 Blowback Full Auto M3 Grease Gun Field Test Review

No Comments

Umarex has released yet another Legends Replica Airgun and perhaps this one may be the most iconic yet, the M3 Grease gun with a history as far back as 1942. It was put into service int 1944 and then the later variant the M3A1 was used in the Korean War. Also make sure to watch my Table top Video for it for specifications and details along with more close up video.

Getting back to the Field Test Review for the Umarex Legends CO2 Blowback Full Auto M3 Grease Gun, as always I like to test each gun out in the Replace Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airguns Range first placing 5 rounds through my Chronograph to find out the real world velocity of each test gun, then I shoot 10 rounds in semi auto at a distance of 30 feet onto a paper target to see how tight of a grouping I can get shooting from a seated and rested position. With full auto Airguns I like to then perform a full auto shooting test to see how it groups in full auto as often times the full auto grouping will open up somewhat as some Blowback Full Auto Airguns do tend to move around a lot more in full auto mode.

For my Power or Velocity test I was using dual brand new CO2 cartages. Umarex does state that the Umarex Legends CO2 Blowback Full Auto M3 Grease Gun will shoot around 450 fps and with my 5 shot test I was able to confirm this and get close to this mark averaging 436fps. The temperature in the Sea Can was around 20 degrees Celsius or around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Perhaps in warmer conditions I might hit the claimed 450 fps but I was close either way.

For my accuracy test I setup a new paper target 30 feet downrange and proceeded to place 10 shots into it using the peep sight on the Umarex Legends CO2 Blowback Full Auto M3 Grease Gun. I was fairly pleased with a fairly tight 1.5 inch grouping in semi auto. I then switched over to full auto fun mode and with the remaining BB’s I unloaded 50 or so rounds in very short order and as expected the grouping opened up to closer to a 4 inch grouping. This was kind of expected since the Umarex Legends CO2 Blowback Full Auto M3 Grease Gun uses an open bolt system which has a fairly heavy bolt which makes the blowback action more intense, similar to the KWC Mini Uzi but to a lessor degree.

Any time a company puts out another Full Auto Replica Rifle, especially full auto firing, I am 100% in on it. Both Crosman and Umarex have done a great job doing this and the Umarex Legends CO2 Blowback Full Auto M3 Grease Gun is another example of a well thought out and what I expect to be very popular Full Auto BB Rifle. Their Legends series encompasses guns of the later era which I personally really like since they are harder to come by in their real steel versions, so having them available in an easier to acquire version that you can even shoot in your back yard is a win win for everyone. I am also happy to confirm the high capacity double stack 60 round magazine seemed to feed pretty good for me only miss-feeding once during my testing while doing the Chronograph portion but it got back on track right away. If you’re into Full Auto Legendary Airguns then for sure pick one up from us!

Umarex Legends CO2 Blowback Full Auto M3 Grease Gun Table Top Review

1 Comment

Type: BB Rifle.
Manufacturer: Umarex.
Model: Legends M3 Grease Gun
Materials: Mostly All Metal Construction.
Weight: 7.7 pounds (3.5 kilograms).
Length: 29.8 inches (757mm).
Barrel Length: 8 inches (20 cm) smoothbore barrel.
Propulsion: Dual CO2 Cartridge.
Action: Semi & Full Auto Open Bolt Blowback
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 60 rounds.
FPS: 460fps.
Rate of Fire: 1050

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Legends M3 Grease Gun is fairly light being a single action only trigger. You will have to open the bolt (pull it to the rear) which is located under the dust cover using your thumb but the recoil spring is not super heavy on the Airgun version. I would imagine this would take more effort on the real steel version.

Accuracy: I have not Field Test Reviewed the CO2 BB Full Auto Umarex Legends M3 Grease Gun as of yet but will be making a full Fields Test Review next week to find out what to expect in terms of accuracy on both semi and full auto modes along with velocity using brand new twin CO2 Cartridges.

Build Quality: The Umarex Legends BB Grease Gun is really made with form what I can see is an all metal construction at least on the outside. The fit and finishes feel and look really good and it has a nice balance and weight to it.

Realism: The Umarex Legends BB Firing M3 Grease Gun is based on the actual M3A1 version and looks just like it including the rough welds and simple build. Even the action is Open Bolt which means you have to pull the bolt back using your thumb or finger, then when you release the trigger the bolt moves forward loading a round in the chamber and then acting like the firing pin and firing the gun which in turn uses the pressure to cycle the bolt into the rear position ready to fire the next shot in either semi or full auto mode.

Pros:

  • Yet another Classic Legends Replica Airgun from Umarex.

  • Virtually all metal design with good overall weight.

  • Price is very reasonable for all metal replica machine gun in an all metal construction.

  • Semi and Full auto select-ability.

  • Dual CO2 design for increased shots and less cool down effect.

  • Super high capacity 60 round full size drop out metal magazine. (hopefully it works well)

  • Great looking replica of the real steel Grease Gun in looks, operation and feel.

  • Internal bolt blowback will give a bit of recoil feedback feel.

  • Uses a genuine open bolt system.

  • Recessed barrel for added realism.

Cons:

  • Sights are non-adjustable.

  • Hopefully high capacity magazine feeds consistently?

  • Selector switch under frame is not authentic but does allow for semi, full auto and safe modes.

Comments:

The Umarex Legends M3 Grease Gun is yet another great addition to not only the Legends Series of Umarex Airguns but also their Full Auto BB Rifle lineup! I am hoping the 60 round magazine feeds properly as double\ stack 4.5mm BB Rounds don’t always feed as well as Airsoft BB’s do. I guess we will find out when I make my Filed Test Shooting Video… That said the M3 Grease Gun is an excellent Replica of the real steel version with an all metal build and even a true to form open bolt blowback system. I really hope it performs well so I can recommend this Airgun, on first impressions and simply holding and looking around this BB Machine gun I am impressed so far.

Umarex Grease Gun - NXG Pump Shotgun - KWC DE L6 Preview Unboxing

No Comments

In this Preview Unboxing Video I take a look at three new products just listed in our Replica Airguns Store. Two are products from Umarex both being CO2 4.5mm Steel BB and one is a CO2 powered KWC Blowback Airsoft Pistol. I don’t go into a ton of detail in this video but go over what is listed on the box and a quick walk around of each product.

First up I show off the KWC DE L6 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol, it is much like the Cybergun Desert Eagle L6 I reviewed but without the orange tip and with notched pistol grips, also all back which is classic and looks great. This Blowback pistol shoots 6mm Airsoft BB’s at around 360 fps and has a full size dropout metal magazine that holds the CO2 along with 21 rounds.

Next I showcase a rather entry level 4.5mm CO2 BB Pump Action Rifle called the Umarex NXG Pump Shot that is a mostly plastic lighter weight build perfect for smaller or younger shooters. It uses CO2, shoots 4.5mm Steel BB’s and comes with a drop out 10 round rotary magazine. You will have to pump it before each shot but this makes the trigger fairly light.

Lastly but perhaps my favorite in this lineup I take a look at the CO2 4.5mm Blowback Umarex Legends M3 Grease Gun. Just like the real steel .45 caliber Grease Gun it is capable of full auto and also shoots in semi auto. You will find a full size drop out metal magazine that holds two CO2 cartridges along with 60 4.5mm steel BB’s. Thats a lot of rounds!

All of these Airguns in our Canada Replica Airguns Store and some in the US Replica Airguns Store.

Umarex Stainless Limited Edition Ruger Mark IV Break Barrel .177 Cal Pellet Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Pellet Pistol.
Distributer: Umarex.
Model: Stainless Ruger Mark IV.
Materials: Metal and polymer build.
Weight: 1.56 pounds (708 grams).
Barrel: 5.3 inches (135mm).
Total Length: 11 inches (279mm).
Propulsion: Spring Piston.
Action: SAO Break Barrel.
Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 1 round.
FPS: 320.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Stainless Ruger Mark IV Break Barrel .177 Cal Pellet Pistol is not too bad, I feel it is a around 6-7 pounds or so without measuring. In comparison to a real steel 22LR semi auto SAO trigger pistol, the trigger is much heavier but most of these 22LR pistols of this nature have what I would consider to be near perfect triggers. Over time once you get use to the pressure and release point accuracy with this pistol it is for sure possible.

Accuracy: I have tested out the all black version of this pistol which will perform exactly the same or should I say is expected to perform the same since they are virtually the exact same Pellet Pistol but in different finishes. You can watch my Field Test Shooting Video for the all black version but in case you don’t make it there I will fill you in on the basic results… In terms of velocity I averaged 312 fps using 7 grain lead pellets and got around a 2 inch 7 rounds grouping but expect with a bit more trigger time to get closer to 1 inch.

Build Quality: The Stainless Ruger Mark IV Break Barrel .177 Cal Pellet Pistol is a low cost target plinker that also doubles as a licensed Replica for that coolness factor so you won’t get an all metal super top quality build here. That said metal and plastics are well used and for sure details in the fit and finish have been improved over the Buck Mark URX version where I found the barrel felt a bit sloppy and the trigger was plastic. The Umarex Ruger Mark IV Break Barrel .177 Cal Pellet Pistol has a much tighter barrel fit when closed and the trigger is now metal! Maybe Umarex watched my video back in the day and took some notes?

Realism: The Umarex Ruger Mark IV Break Barrel .177 Cal Pellet Pistol most resembles the Mark IV Hunter edition and is pretty much bang on in terms of being a replica other than the tell tail hinge just under the barrel required for a spring piston design, there really is no way to get around this so I’m not going to criticize this minor difference. The real steel version is almost 3 pounds and so the pellet shooting version is a bit under weight so it would have been to have had more metal perhaps in the barrel and lower frame. Again since the pellet shooting version is a springer you will not have any working bolts or slide catches or a built in magazine.

Pros:

  • It's a decent Ruger Mark IV Replica!

  • Feels well built overall.

  • Expect it to have really good accuracy like the Umarex Browning Buck Mark URX since they share similar mechanical design.

  • Barrel locks into place much better than the Umarex Browning Buck Mark URX did.

  • Fully adjustable rear sight with fiber optic front sight.

  • Auto locking safety, just don’t forget to unlock before each shot

  • Actual metal trigger in this version.

  • Nice and compact, not too heavy.

  • Full Ruger licensed via Umarex.

  • Fairly low price tag.

Cons:

  • No built in rail for a sight system like the Umarex Browning Buck Mark URX.

  • Would have liked a metal trigger and maybe a slightly lighter trigger pull to match the real Buck Mark's very light trigger pull.

  • A bit more metal would have been nice.

  • Significantly more expensive than the black version which is the same exact gun in a different color.

Comments:
The Stainless Ruger Mark IV Break Barrel .177 Cal Pellet Pistol is a decent looking replica and a decent pellet shooting target pistol and if you own the real steel version in 22LR you may just want to get your hands on one of these Break Barrel Replica Pellet shooters. The only real question is do you get the Stainless version with simulated wood grips or the all black version? If you like the look of the stainless version and don’t care about money whatsoever, then pickup that one up since it is a Limited Edition version that will only go up in value over time. If you are on a budget and don’t mind the look of the all black versions or maybe even prefer it then by all means grab one since at the end of the day they will both perform exactly the same.

Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field test Shooting Video I Test out the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun in the Replica Airguns Indoor Airgun Shooting Range to find out what kind of velocity we can achieve using standard lead pellets. I also shoot 6 rods on a paper target setup 30 feet down range to see what kind of grouping I can get with this single shot spring piston Airgun. If you are looking for more details and specification along wit some closer up video then make sure to watch my Table Top Review Video for the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun.

Starting with my velocity test, I shot 3 rounds through my Chronograph using .177 caliber 7 grain lead pellets achieving 482, 489 and 466 fps with an average of 479 for the three shots. Not bad for a fairly compact Break Barrel Airgun. This is perhaps fast enough for small game like mice and small rats but you would need to get proficient on your shot accuracy to make sure you got a good head or lung shot to make it a more humane pest control.

For the accuracy portion of this Field test Shooting Review I proceeded to fire 6 rounds into a paper target setup 30 feet away. I use a semi rested shooting position with the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun resting on a sand bag up front and me sitting on a stool for stability. My 6 shot grouping was all within around 1.5 inches but I feel like this Pellet gun can do better with me getting a bit more use ot it, still not bad out of the box and with my first round shooting it.

I really like the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun as not only a Replica but it also shoed itself ot be a decent target Airgun at the end of the day. I do have to say the trigger is a bit long but not heavy at all, it has a smooth pull with a soft release. Most pimple should be able towel with this just fine. SO if you are looking for a Replica but also want an Airgun that can shoot hard and with decent accuracy then look no further than the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun.

Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Pellet Rifle.
Manufacturer: Umarex
Model: HK MP7 .177.
Materials: Metal and Polymer.
Weight: 4.4 pounds (2kg).
Barrel: 11.7 inches (29.7cm).
Total Length: 31 inches (78.7cm).
Propulsion: Break Barrel Spring Piston.
Action: Single Action Single Shot.
Ammunition Type: .177 Caliber Pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 1.
Max FPS: 490 Claimed.

Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun is single action only requiring you to break the barrel and compress the internal spring piston before you can shoot it. The actual trigger pull is pretty decent overall. There is very little take-up but the creep is on the longer side but fairly smooth requiring medium pressure. The release is a bit hard at first to predict but nothing some trigger time can’t get you use to.

Accuracy: I have not performed any shooting tests with the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun so far. I hope to make that Video Review next week. I expect the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun to perform well in the accuracy department especially with the included Red Dot Optical Scope installed. I hope the velocity rating from Umarex is based on lead pellets and not hyper velocity light weight pellets but we will find out the story when I perform my Field Test Shooting Video shortly!

Build Quality: The Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun is a China made Airgun but looks to be well made. It has lots of metal parts as you would expect from a Spring Piston Rifle which adds a nice weight and feel to it. I did however have an issue with the front plastic mock Suppressor/Compensator as it does not seem to be attached to the metal barrel very well other than being pressure fit which is not going to cut it with all the vibration a spring piston system makes. My first shot loosened the mock Suppressor/Compensator so I will either have to hold it when shooting or find another way to make sure it stays in place.

Realism: The Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun is kind of unique in this department as most break barrel rifles are not Replicas, especially the more compact sub machine gun styled ones. Umarex did good job making the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun look like a real HK MP7 for the most part. Of course it is a Spring Piston Rifle at its core so exceptions had to be made to make this work including molded non working parts like the magazine release, sector switch and, bolt/ejection port. That said all in all it is a decent looking replica considering it is a Break Barrel Airgun under the skin.

Pros:

  • Not many Replica Pellet Rifles on the market, especially in a more compact gun.

  • Comes with Red Dot sight.

  • Lots of rails for adding accessories to it.

  • Full HK Licensed by Umarex.

  • Collapsible Wire Stock.

  • Nice high claimed 490 fps.

  • No need for CO2 so low cost to cooperate.

  • Not effected by temperature like a CO2 Airgun.

  • Should have better accuracy than most BB Replica Airguns.

  • Very solid feel to it, good overall weight and feel.

Cons:

  • Not going to be an action shooter, have to reload after each shot.

  • A good overall Replica but not as Realistic or full operation as a BB version would be.

  • Mock Suppressor/Compensator poorly attached to barrel.

Comments:
The Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun is an interesting product, on one hadn't it is a Replica Airgun and most people expect a Replica Airgun to have all of the appropriate working parts similar to what would be found on the real steel version. But since this is a Break Barrel Airgun at the core the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun will not function the same as the Real Steel version so as long as you don’t expect it to and appreciate the fact that it should be a nice accurate low cost to operate target rifle then I think you will understand this product and enjoy it for what it is… A Single Shot Pellet Rifle that looks a lot like a HK MP7.

Replica Airguns Huge Mystery Box Unboxing

No Comments

As the title suggest this a video about a Huge Mystery Box so I am not going to say what’s in it, I can say that their are 4 main products mostly rifles per-say. One is a Futuristic Full Auto BB Rifle, one is a Paintball Shotgun, One is an AEG Airsoft Rifle and one is a Replica Break Barrel Pellet Rifle.

So I have a lot of variety here to show everyone! I did absolutely zero research on any of the products I show in this video since like you I had no real idea what was inside other than how many and that most where rifle based.

Enjoy finding out what new products I will be reviewing over the next month with dedicated Table Top and Field Test Shooting videos.

What has More Accuracy and Power - BB - Pellet - Airsoft - Paintball - Video 2 Accuracy

No Comments

In this two part video series I compare several Air Pistols to each other to find out what type of round has the most power and accuracy. The guns I use for this not so scientific test are the KWC Model DE /50 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback 6mm Plastic Airsoft Pistol, the EKOL ES 55 CO2 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol, the Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle Blowback CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol and the Umarex T4E TR50 CO2 .50 Caliber Paintball Pistol.

For this Video 2 Accuracy Test I shoot all of the above listed Airguns at a paper target setup 30 feet down range using a semi rested shooting position with my hands resting on a sand bag up front and seated on a stool in the back. It’s not perfect but works well enough. I didn’t take a ton of time with each gun since there where 4 to shoot in this Field Test Shooting Video so accuracy may have been a bit better if I took a little more time with each gun.

In Video 2 I test the power and penetration of each Airgun option shooting at a pop can, a soup can and a toilet paper roll so make sure to watch that video if you have not already watched it.

What has More Accuracy and Power - BB - Pellet - Airsoft - Paintball - Video 1 Power

No Comments

In this two part video series I compare several Air Pistols to each other to find out what type of round has the most power and accuracy. The guns I use for this not so scientific test are the KWC Model DE /50 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback 6mm Plastic Airsoft Pistol, the EKOL ES 55 CO2 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol, the Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle Blowback CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol and the Umarex T4E TR50 CO2 .50 Caliber Paintball Pistol.

For this Video 1 Power Test I shoot all of the above listed Airguns first at a pop can, then a soup can and then a toilet paper roll. The ides is to test penetration abilities with the pop and soup can and then raw force shooting the toilet paper as it will absorb all the energy from each airgun round and by gauging how much the toilet paper reacts or moves it should tell us which airgun has the most raw power or energy.

In Video 2 I will be testing accuracy using my standard 30 round paper target setup in the Replica Airguns Sea Can so stay posted for that upcoming video shortly…

Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver Field Test Review

1 Comment

In this Field Test Shooting Review I test out the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Shooting Range to find out its velocity and accuracy using both 4.5mm Steel BB’s and .177 Caliber Lead Pellets. The version I am using is the BB version but my viewers have informed me that the BB version may in fact shoot just as well as the pellet version using pellets even without the rifled barrel due to how pellets are shaped not always requiring a rifled barrel to fly true. So let’s find out!

Starting with the velocity test, I shot 4 rounds of each ammo through my Chronograph using a fresh CO2 cartridge. Umarex claims the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver is able to get a maximum fps of 420 using standard 4.5mm steel BB’s and I was able to average 396 so every close. In warmer conditions 420 fps should be possible. Switching to the .177 caliber lead pellets the fps lowered a bit to an average of 323 fps as expected since the pellets are much heavier (around 7 grain versus 5 grain). I would expect the energy of the pellets to be a bit higher and also keep that energy out to further ranges so if you plan to shoot longer ranges perhaps go with the lead pellets over the BB’s as long as they are similar in accuracy which I test next.

For the accuracy portion of the test I again started off with the 4.5mm Steel BB’s and fired 6 rounds into my paper target setup 30 feet down range. I shot the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver using a seated shooting position with my hands resting up front on a sand bag to help with stability but it’s not perfect and there is always some human factor to consider. That said I was able to shoot a 1.5 inch 6 shot grouping with the BB’s and if I remove one outlier from the group that reduced it to closer to around an inch so not too bad for a BB shooter. I then switching up to the .177 caliber lead pellets and was a bit surprised that even without a rifled barrel the pellets seemed to perform better than the Steel BB’s getting a solid 1 inch grouping with no real outliers in it!

Unfortunately I do not have the actual rifled barrel version of the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 Revolver. Perhaps in the future I can compare the BB verso to the Pellet version using pellets to see if there is an improvement with the addition of the rifled barrel. I can say the BB version without the rifled version shoots pellets just fine at least up to 30 feet so feel free to shoot whatever ammo you want to with it and not be worried about compromising accuracy or velocity.

Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: BB Pistol.
Manufacturer: Umarex.
Model: M29.
Materials: Metal & plastic.
Weight: 2.5 pounds (1135 grams).
Barrel Length: 8.375 inches (Smooth bore).
Total Length: 12.13 inches.
Propulsion: 12 gram CO2 cartridge.
Action: Revolver, single and double action.
Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's (Also available in 6mm Airsoft).
Ammunition Capacity: 6 rounds.
FPS: 420fps claimed.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver is light in single action but not too light, there is virtually no take up and the release is predictable. In double action the trigger pull is heavier as the cylinder and hammer are both actuated manually by the trigger but even so the pull is not what I would call heavy for a double action revolver. The double action trigger pull is nice and even and will not tire out your finger too much firing all six rounds quickly.

Accuracy: At this point i have not made my Field Test Shooting portion of my review for the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver but I expect to get close to the 420 fps claimed velocity and I also expect to shoot around a 1 to 2 inch grouping based on my past experienced with similar Shell Loading BB Revolvers. I may even pull of a 1/5 inch group if I am on my game and so is the gun… We will have to all wait till next week when I record the shooting portion of my review for the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver.

Build Quality: Overall the all metal build quality of the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver is very good. The black chrome finish looks really nice but does show every finger print and any grease from your hands. The imitation wood grips look just like real wood and with only the exception of a small scratch or crack in the front plastic red sight, the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver was flawless.

Realism: The Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver is the same revolver used in one of the Dirty Hariy Movies and really looks exactly the same. As with all the shell loading BB/pellet/Airsoft Revolvers, they look and perform exactly like the real steel versions other than recoil of course. The only give away for the Umarex S&W M29 8 Inch Barrel Shell Loading CO2 BB Revolver would be the diameter of the shells as Umarex decided to repurpose the 38/357 shells used in their other smaller caliber shell loading revolvers. It would have been nice to have a larger 44/45 caliber sized shell that they could use in both the Colt 45 Single Action Army Revolvers and this 44 Magnum version of the Smith and Wesson M29 Revolver. The barrel opening is closer to that of a 44 Magnum so they did get that part right.

Pros:

  • Classic iconic 44 magnum movie revolver.

  • Mostly all metal build.

  • Good overall weight, it’s big so expected to weigh a fair amount.

  • Lots of detail, well made, fit and finish is very good.

  • Fully S&W Licensed via Umarex.

  • Love the black chrome look but prone to finger prints.

  • Simulated wood grips look real enough.

  • Should have good overall power, accuracy and shots per CO2 (claimed around 80 per CO2).

  • Adjustable rear sight for windage/elevation with red dot front sight.

  • CO2 Allen key built into grip.

  • Recessed barrel true to 44 magnum opening size.

  • Nice Trigger pull in both single and double action.

Cons:

  • Shells are closer to 357 not 44 magnum in size.

  • Don’t like the white writing on the right side.

  • Black chrome finish shows lots of finger prints and grease.

Comments:

I really like that Umarex decided to give us this more classic Revolver to add to our collection of Airgun Revolvers! I was a big fan of the Dirty Harry Movies so this gun is for sure going to be part of my Airgun collection and even if you are not a fan, you should probably be a fan of the Smith and Wesson M29 which was considered to be one of the most powerful revolvers back in its day. Right now you can get it in 4.5mm Steel BB and 6mm Plastic Airsoft but hopefully there is a .177 caliber Pellet version on its way at some point.
