Umarex REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Nerf Type Gun.
Manufacturer: Umarex
Model: REKT OPSIX.
Materials: Mostly plastic build with some internal metal parts.
Weight: 11.75 oz (332 grams) with CO2 installed.
Propulsion: 12 gram CO2 x1.
Action: Single shot double action trigger.
Ammunition Type: Nerf type foam darts.
Ammunition Capacity: 1 round.
Max FPS: NA. Claimed 30% faster and 30% father than standard similar type Nerf spring pistols.

Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Umarex REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher is much the same as your standard double action non-blowback BB gun, I’m pretty sure the actual mechanical hammer and trigger mechanism is much the same since the barrel moves in and out just like many of Umarex’s non-blowback CO2 BB pistols. The double action trigger is as expected a bit long but it’s not overly heavy and since this is not a rapid fire gun your trigger finger will not get tired shooting the Umarex REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher.

Accuracy: I haven’t performed my Field Test Shooting video for the Umarex REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher and I’m not sure what that is going to entail but I have placed some rounds at targets around 20-25 feet away and for the most part you can easily hit a human sized object in the mid section easily enough. I would not want to shoot much over 30 feet but the Umarex REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher like other Nerf type guns is mainly for indoor fun.

Build Quality: The REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher is built pretty much exactly like other Umarex non-blowback all plastic CO2 BB pistols and that’s a good thing since they are pretty much bullet proof. I would even go on record to say the REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher is built better or should I say stronger than a Standard Nerf gun in terms of plastic thickness and even the fit and finish is very good.

Realism: One big advantage over most Nerf Guns is that the Umarex REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher looks a lot more like a real gun, it’s about the same size, has the same feel and looks a lot like a modern semi auto hand gun other than the bright coloring going on. Ergonomically speaking the REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher would make a much better trainer than a Nerf gun and should even fit into standard pistol holsters.

Pros:

  • No need to work a spring before each shot because of the CO2 power source.

  • More power and range than a traditional Nerf Gun (30% more).

  • More realistic looking than most Nerf Guns.

  • Like an Airsoft Gun but more usable indoors and less chance of injurys.

  • White dot sights front and back.

  • Has a working safety.

  • Uses standard Nerf foam darts.

  • Picatinny rail underneath for adding accessories.

  • A great option for having some fun indoors while many of us are shut in our houses.

Cons:

  • Will require CO2 to operate.

  • Requires reloading between each shot.

  • More money than a traditional similar type Nerf pistol.

Comments:
The Umarex REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher may be the ideal indoor fun gun right now while we are all staying at home a lot more these days. Sure you could use a standard Nerf Gun but not if you want to be the cool kid (or cool kid stuck in an adults body). I like that the REKT OPSIX CO2 Single Shot Foam Dart Launcher is more realistic looking then a traditional Nerf Gun, perhaps the perfect intermediary gun if you want something between a Nerf Gun and an Airsoft Gun? Hopefully we can keep them in stock and get more product for you if need be moving forward.

How is the Coronavirus Effecting Replica Airguns Online Stores?

No Comments

Unfortunately here at Replica Airguns because of the Coronavirus we are also running into obstacles that are making it harder for us to Acquire, Process and Ship products to our customers. That said we are doing our absolute best to continue to offer Airgun related products to our customers during these trying times. Covid-19 is causing some delays in order processing and shipping, this is unfortunately but completely out of our control.

Most factories are located in Asia and which has been the hardest hit and many of them are not back up and operational and even if they are back at work many of them have switched over to making and supplying medical supplies.

Vendors here in Canada and the US are being shut down for 2 weeks (minimum) so supply will be running low. This is going to make restocking product take much more time.

Staffing is low as many workers have chosen to stay home and isolate as a precaution. This will slow down how quickly we are able to process orders so expect some delays.

Replica Airgun Online Store prices will need adjusting due to the CAD dollar devaluing against the much stronger US dollar. You may already see some price increases and will also see more in the future.

My advice since many people are at home right now is to take this time to do your research and take a good look at the products we sell in our Replica Airguns Online Stores. Watch our Airgun review videos and figure out what your next purchase may be. If you are in a position to purchase now, you may want to do so quickly as stock is limited and will continue to get more limited until factories start making more products and vendors are able to supply those products to us again.

SMG 22 Only Canada Legal .22 Caliber Full Auto Machine Gun

1 Comment

This is just my Preview for the Air-Ordnance SMG 22 .22 Caliber Full Auto Pellet Machine Gun. There will be more coming for sure for this one! Stay posted for my official Table Top and Shooting Videos later on.

I want to thank Drew from Tippmann Armory/Air Ordnance for sending me this unit for review. I have been wanting to get my hands one of these Air-Ordnance SMG 22 .22 Caliber Full Auto Pellet Machine Guns for several years now and super glad I happened finally :) I really don’t think there is any airgun out there like it. I am really hoping that we will be able to have this one in both our Canada and US Online Replica Airguns Stores.

So what exactly is the Air-Ordnance SMG 22 .22 Caliber Full Auto Pellet Machine Gun? It’s a PCP powered semi/full auto .22 caliber pellet firing Airgun and it is available in a Canada legal version that shoots just under 500 fps allowing it to be classified here in Canada as an unregulated Firearm. Unregulated Firearms do not require a license or registration and do not have to abide by the same rules that regulated firearms have to such as full auto limitations, magazine capacities and size limitations. So in other words if you want a full auto .22 caliber Machine gun here in Canada this is going to be your only option at least for now.

Some other cool features about the Air-Ordnance SMG 22 .22 Caliber Full Auto Pellet Machine Gun is the trigger setup, pull it light and quick and you get a single shot, pull and hold using medium force and you get full auto but not at a super high rate of fire. Press and hold the trigger down hard and you get full auto with a much faster rate of fire so you control the rate of fire by how hard you press the trigger down. Air-Ordnance SMG 22 .22 Caliber Full Auto Pellet Machine Gun also has an adjustment to set the maximum rate of full auto fire.

There are a few versions of the Air-Ordnance SMG 22 .22 Caliber Full Auto Pellet Machine Gun but they all share the same base components, gun just need to decide what add on you want to have with it. I am going to say make sure to get extra 100 round belts and a speed loader since the Air-Ordnance SMG 22 .22 Caliber Full Auto Pellet Machine Gun goes through a 100 round magazine fairly quickly!

Rx Target Systems Preview Video

No Comments

I want to thank David Bitkowski from Rx Target Systems for providing me with this sample unit to share with the Replica Airguns community. This video is only a Preview video as I wanted to get the RX Target System out there before I follow up with my actual Table Top and Shooting Videos for it.

For now here are some of the key points I want to get out to everyone:

Mission:
Rx Target Systems are meant to bridge the gap between firearms and airguns. They allow high precision shooting on a reactive, three- dimensional, rugged target that can be carted around in a back pack.  What makes Rx Target Systems unique is that it is a system. It is so modular and adaptable with interchangable faceplates and paddles. Rx Target Systems are not going to break or get dented or dissembled on the range as many of the lighter gauged steel targets on the market today vs today’s high powered airguns.

Modular 

  • One base allows interchange of faceplates for different target configurations 

  • One threaded axel allows interchange of paddle from 10 gauge to 3/8 inch-thick paddles 

Portable 

  • Mount it on a shelf indoors 

  • Mount it on a sawhorse outdoors  

  • Carry it in a backpack or duffle bag- its 10 pounds 

Rugged 

  • Solid steel design 

  • Faceplates from 10 gauge to ¼ inch thick 

3-Dimensional 

  • Faceplate is offset from paddles 

  • Clipping the aperture does not guarantee a score 

Intentions of target configurations 

  • Standard 1 inch bulls.- represents kill zone of many small game at 30 yards, great for sighting in prior to the hunt. Also is ¼ scale of bull used in rapid fire pistol when shot from 8.3 meters. (25 meters distance/100mm bull) 

  • 1.2 inch bulls- represents the 4-10 ring of the NRA 10 meter air rifle target. Gears the shooter to consistently hitting the “black” of that target on paper 

  • AAFTA style- represents common kill zones found in American Airgun Field Target Assosciation using 1.5”, 1”, ¾", ½", and 3/8”.  

  • WFTF style- represents common kill zones found in World Field Target Federation using 15mm, 25mm, and 38mm apertures 

  • 10-15- Inspired by customer request, uses 10mm and 15mm apertures.  High-Precision shooting.

Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle Field Test Review

1 Comment

The Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle is one that you are really going to want to take outside and set targets up around 50-60 feet await make it a little more challenging adn I do plan on getting outside with the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle in a bit once the weather gets a bit nicer and have some fun shooting at longer ranges. For now I wanted to at least get out my Indoor Field Test Shooting Video where I can Chronograph the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle and also see what it can do shooting at 30 feet out.

Sig claims the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle to shoot .22 caliber lead pellets at up to 700 fps with a power output of 12 foot pounds. Using 14.5 grain lead pellets I placed 6 rounds though my Chronograph and averaged 585 fps with the fastest shoot hitting 611 fps. Keep in mind there are much lighter lead pellets out there and when it comes to alloy pellets they drop in weight even more so hitting 700 fps with a light grain lead or alloy pellet is very realistic. What about Sigs claimed 12 foot pounds of energy? I did the math and using a 14.5 grain pellet with a maximum velocity of 611 fps, these numbers produce just a hair over 12 foot pounds! Mission accomplished :)

What about accuracy, I have seen a few claims online that the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle is not the most accurate Pellet rifle out there and you know what I don’t think that was the absolute intension when Sig thought this one up. After all it is a semi auto high capacity Airgun replica, not a target rifle. I still like to find things out for myself so of course I performed my accuracy test for the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle shooting 10 rounds into a fresh paper target from 30 feet back using a seated and rested shooting position. For this test I was using a red dot scope with a 3x magnifier on it. My first 10 rounds did OK producing just over a 1 inch grouping, not super great but most of the rods (8 of them) all struck the target within about 3/4 of an inch.

At this point decided to empty the rest of the magazine so about 15 rounds on the same target to see if the grouping stayed the same or maybe even speed out a bit. I was a bit surprised to find that my second 15 shot grouping all stayed within the higher 10 shot group again producing about a 3/4 inch grouping with just those two first test outliers? Maybe it was me, maybe it was the pellets, maybe it was the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle? The good news is you have 30 rounds to hit your target so even if a couple of them stray a bit you still got 28 left to get the job done.

The Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP .22 Caliber Pellet Rifle is one of the coolest Air Rifles I have tested and now own, not only is it a great Replica Airgun but it also performs well and can be used for plinking or small pest control. All at even a fraction of the cost of shooting 22LR rounds and that’s not even that expensive compared to 9mm and larger ammo. Let’s hope Sig Sauer makes a detuned Canada version so we can offer it up in our Canada Replica Airguns Store and if you live in the US then checkout the US Store for Sig Sauer buying options.

Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol Field Test Review

2 Comments

The expectation is going to be high with the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol since it is called the “Super Target” right! In terms of 350 fps well I guess it’s not really anything to wright home about but for a target pistol this velocity is more than enough. What matters most is consistency of each shot as that can effect the trajectory which in tern will effect the elevation of each shot. At the end of the day with a Target Shooter like the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol what I’m really looking for is consistency.

Let’s start with the Chronograph portion of my Indoor Field Test Shooting Review for the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol. Sig Sauer says I will get around 350 fps and spoiler alert I got exactly 350 fps shooting a 3 shot string. I only shot 3 rounds since all shots where very close together at 353, 347 and 350 fps. Remember what I was saying about consistency, that’s pretty consistent. I was using Sig Sauer Wad Cutter Lead pellets for all of my testing and since the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is not a CO2 Airgun room temperature was not a factor.

Moving on to the accuracy portion of my testing for the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol. I was originally going to shoot 10 rounds but decided to go with 5 since between shots I need to open the Airgun, place a pellet in the barrel and then close and cock the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol. I then need to reset my hand position on the sand bag and place another shot on target. All of this really breaks up the shooting rhythm which makes it a bit harder to be as consistent when compared to simply pressing the trigger between shots. I was shooting 30 feet away from my paper target using a seated and rested shooting position. It’s kind of hard to say exactly how tight my grouping was since the paper ripped a bit but looking back later at the video I am pretty sure all of the shots where pretty much on top of each other getting under a 1/2 inch grouping. The ripping of the paper made it look like the grouping was larger than it was.

All in all the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol is a very consistent and accurate Single Pump Pneumatic Target Air Pistol that I would agree with lives up to the name “Super Target”. Make sure to also checkout my Table Top Review for the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol where I go into the details and specification for the Sig Sauer ASP Super Target.
