EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Indoor Field Test Shooting Video, I put the EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol through my usual performance shooting test by first finding out what the velocity is by shooting 5 rounds through my Chronograph using a fresh CO2 along with .20 gram Airsoft BB’s. I follow this up with a 10 round accuracy test, again using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s and shooting at a paper target setup 30 feet down range, while seated on a stool in the back with my hands rested on a sand bag up front. This generally works pretty well and helps me get the most out the gun I am testing. If you are also interested in details and specifications than make sure to watch my Table Top Video I already made for the EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol.

So how did the EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol do in my testing? Not bad! Starting with the velocity fps test I shot 5 rounds through my chronograph with a brand new 12 gram CO2 cartridge and while EMG claims around 400 fps, I only averaged 321 fps with my fastest shot hitting 323 fps and my slowest shot hitting 318. So relatively close in terms of fps but not close to the 400 claimed fps. Totally fine for Airsoft games, perhaps in super hot temperatures, it can do better but in standard room temperatures this is what I got.

Next up I tested out the EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol’s accuracy from 30 feet away and put 10 rounds down range as best as I was able to do with my slightly aging eyes. I was happy with the results with most of the rounds staying within about 2 inches of each other and just slightly to the right of the bullseye, but pretty much perfect in terms of elevation. There where a couple of rounds that came outside of the base 2 inch grouping, which increased the grouping to about 3 inches total.

I am a huge 1911 fan and so a 2011 design only tuns up the dial that much more. The EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol performed without a glitch for me and I love the extra heft and snappy blowback action along with the crips light and short single action 1911 trigger. I was a bit surprised by the lower 323 fps velocity, but to be honest this is more than a capable velocity for a combat close range Airsoft Pistol. The EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is a real looker for sure, it just needs that eye soar of an orange tip removed to perfect its look. If you like the look and feel of a 1911/2011 in your hand, and if stainless steel is your color of choice, then I would say go for this one.

EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: GBB Airsoft Pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by EMG.
Model: SAI 2011 DS 4.3.
Materials: Mostly metal (Aluminum) and plastic.
Weight: 1.94 pounds (878 grams).
Total Length: 8.25 inches (210mm).
Barrel: 4 inches (102mm) metal rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x1.
Action: Semi auto Blowback, SAO trigger.
Ammunition Type: 6mm Airsoft BB’s.
Ammunition Capacity: 30+1.
FPS: Claimed 380-430.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol like what you would find on a traditional 1911 style pistol so it is Single Action Only and is nice and short and light in weight. Being a single action pistol for your first shot you will need to pull back the slide to chamber a round into the barrel which will also cock the hammer for you. the blowback action will cycle the slide for you from that point on automating the action.

Accuracy: I have not made my Field test Shooting Video or even tested out the EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol yet or even shot it at all so I can not comment on the performance other than the claimed velocity of (380-430 fps) which does seem a bit high to me? My plan is to have this info available next week when I make my Field test Shooting Video so stay posted of that video coming out shortly…

Build Quality: The EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is a well made Airsoft Pistol with quality materials throughout. You will find a machined aluminum slide an aluminum frame and a full metal drop out magazine. The barrel is Titanium Nitride Coated and the only real plastic parts I could find would be the grips, the gas tube and the hop-up wheel. The stainless coating on this Airsoft pistol looks fairly thick and so should stand up over time with less wear showing.

Realism: The EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol to me is not a true 2011 design as it does not have the once piece grip/trigger guard design found in 2011 pistols. It is double stack so that fits with the naming convention but I would say it is more like a combination of the Salient Arms SAI Red and SAI Red H. It does check all the boxes for realism in terms of function, looks and feel with all the working parts you expect on a Replica Airsoft Pistol including being able to fully field strip it.

Pros:

  • Superior Performance and 1:1 Scale Functionality.

  • Machined Aluminum Alloy Frame and Slide.

  • Rugged Reliability without sacrificing Weight.

  • Officially licensed by Salient Arms International.

  • Front and Rear Combat Style Sights with integrated Forward Fiber Optic.

  • Machined Anti-Glare Slide Top.

  • Ambidextrous Safety and Squared Trigger.

  • Titanium Nitride Style SAI Barrel for added durability.

  • On-Frame Integrated Accessory Rail.

  • Skeletonized trigger and hammer.

  • Options of both Green Gas and CO2 Magazines.

  • Deep Engraving with Real Steel Training Weapon Grade External Finish, Look, and Feel.

Cons:

  • Has orange barrel tip. But can be removed with some work.

  • No white dot or fiber optics on rear sight.

  • Not really a True 2011 in design as the name suggests.

Comments:

I am a huge 1911/2011 fan and so the EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol really appeals to me. I like the compact design of the EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 yet it has a nice high capacity double stack magazine that gives this Airsoft Pistol a bit more girth in the hands which for me is OK as I have pretty large hands. I like that you have the option of shooting CO2 or Green Gas depending on what magazine you are using. This version comes with a CO2 Magazine, but you can purchase a green gas magazine if you prefer using gas over CO2. I like the modern look with the gold barrel and skeletonized trigger and hammer. The price is on the higher side but sometimes you have to pay a little bit more to get the additional quality and to have a gun that really stands out.

September 2024 Mystery Box Unboxing Video

No Comments

In this Mystery Boxing Video I get to take a look at 4 new Airgun Products and give you my first impressions along with a few specifications about each of them but not in a lot of details as I have not had an opportunity to research any of them as this my first time seeing them.

First out of the Mystery box is a new Umarex T4E .43 Caliber CO2 Blowback Paintball Pistol with Walther licensing called the Umarex T4E PDP. I have reviewed similar styled T4E .43 caliber CO2 Blowback Pistols in the past and this one should perform and function similarly.

The next Airgun I pulled out out of the box was the EMG SAI 2011 DS 4.3 CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol, a really nice 1911 styled Airsoft Pistol with a stainless finish and gold barrel with a CO2 Magazine. This one looks and feels really nice.

Staying with the pistols that came in this Mystery Box, I got my first look at the Umarex Markpoint .177 Caliber Break Barrel Pellet Pistol that has a bit of a utilitarian look and feel to it. This one is the longer barrel version and has a claimed fps of 395 using alloy pellets so we will see what it can get with more traditional lead pellets when I make my Field Test Video for it down the road a bit.

The last item out of the Mystery Box was another Umarex product, a fun CO2 BB Rifle with H&K licensing called the HK416. This semi auto and 6 round Burst internal Blowback CO2 BB Rifle is a lot like the Steel Storm and Steel Strike from Umarex but a little bit larger I would say and with H&K Licensing so more of a true Replica Airgun.

I will be making full Table Top and Field Test Videos for all of these items shortly so keep an eye out for those videos but for now you can at least get an idea what these Airgun Products will offer.

EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

In this velocity and accuracy Field Test Shooting Video of the EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol, I test out what the velocity is in feet per second (FPS) using a brand new 12 gram CO2 loading up .20 gram plastic 6mm Airsoft BB’s by shooting 5 rounds through my trusted Chronograph. Salient Arms claims 375 to 390 fps which is on the higher side for many blowback Airsoft Pistols. I then setup a fresh paper target 30 feet down range here in the Replcia Airguns Sea Can, and shoot 10 rounds at it using a semi rested shooting position to find out how the EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol shoots in terms of if it is anywhere near the bullseye out of the box and if it can get a decently tight grouping. If you have not already watched my Table Top Video Review for the EMG SAI BLU, then make sure to watch it for details, specifications and some nice close up 4k video.

First up in my Field Test of my velocity test of the EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol, I shot my standard 5 rounds through the Chronograph and then averaged them out. The slowest shot was 392 fps while the fastest shot hit 399 fps, this averaged 395 fps which was slightly higher than the claimed maximum of 390! Temperature was maybe a bit under 20 degrees Celsius, I would say closer to 18 or 19 which is in the low to mid 60’s or so degrees Fahrenheit, so it is possible for the EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol to hit even higher fps velocity in warmer temperatures.

I then set things up for the accuracy portion of this test and placed a fresh paper target 30 feet downrange, using a semi rested shooting position (hands rested on a sandbag up front and sitting on a stool in the back) I proceeded to place 10 rounds into the target with the EMG SAI BLU Airsoft Pistol. The EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol did end up shooting fairly well centered on the target with some rounds even entering the bullseye for me. I found it shot just slightly to the right but not by much, in terms of elevation it averaged right in the center. The grouping for the 10 rounds was about 3 inches total but I feel the .20 gram BB’s where a bit of a light choice for this Airsoft Pistol as the velocity is higher than some and a heavier Airsoft BB’s would have probably gotten me better results.

I really enjoyed shooting the EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol. Everything about it feels really good, the single action trigger is perfect, nice and short, light and crisp, the slide has such a snappy response to it with more blowback feel than I was expecting for a lighter slide. The overall feel and weight of the gun just feels good in the hand, not too heavy or light, the perfect weight to pack around as a dedicated sidearm for sure. It also has that Glock look and feel to it but with its own unique look so you won’t be just another dude with a Glock, not that that’s a bad thing but it does get a bit boring… The EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol is a premium Airsoft Pistol so you will pay a bit more but you will get a really nice gun in terms of looks, originality and performance.

EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: GBB Airsoft Pistol.
Manufacturer: Distributed by EMG.
Model: SAI BLU.
Materials: Metal and plastic.
Weight: 1.3 pounds (570 grams).
Total Length: 8.5 inches (216mm).
Barrel: 4 inches (102mm) metal rifled.
Propulsion: CO2 x1.
Action: Semi auto Blowback, SAO trigger.
Ammunition Type: 6mm Airsoft BB’s.
Ammunition Capacity: 25.
FPS: Claimed 375-390.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol like a Glock is single action only and it is very light and short, perhaps lighter and shorter than a Glock trigger in my opinion. The EMG SAI BLU does have a working trigger safety similar to a Glock and for storage there is also a serial number switch located just in front of the trigger guard where you would expect it to be.

Accuracy: I have not made my Field test Shooting Video or even tested out the EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol so far so I can not comment on the performance other than the claimed velocity of (375-390 fps). My plan is to have this info available next week when I make my Field test Shooting Video so stay posted of that video coming up shortly…

Build Quality: The EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol is very well made with quality materials throughout. You will find a machined aluminum slide with lightening cuts, aggressive slide serrations with SAI rollmarks, an injected moulded polymer frame and a full metal drop out magazine. The SAI brass color removable back-strap and magazine release are also made out of metal and the backstop can be swapped out for other sizes but you will have to acquire those on your own.

Realism: The EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol is custom designed and built by Salient Arms to fill the void between M&P ergonomics and Glock reliability. So it is not an exact replica but it does share its looks to a certain degree with a Glock, but I am sure Salient Arms did there best to not cross any lines in terms of infringement on other product designs. In terms of realistic operation the EMG SAI BLU functions and operates as you would expect a real steel pistol like it is designed around to operate.

Pros:

  • Nice light and short single action trigger.

  • Fit and finish is excellent, with qaulity build materials.

  • Fairly light weight pistol, easy side arm to pack around ready when you need it.

  • Fiber optic front sight for quick and easy shot placements.

  • Frame integrated 20mm accessory rail is ideal for mounting weapon lights and other accessories.

  • Threaded, fluted SAI style outer barrel (EMG SAI licensed proprietary convex thread cap included)

  • SAI brass color removable backstrap and magazine release for added weight to enhance balance while shooting.

  • Full size metal magazine holds the CO2 and 25 Airsoft BB’s which adds additional weight and balance.

  • Most mechanical parts work just like a steel version of this style of modern semi auto pistol.

  • Unique individualized serial number laser-engraved on every model.

  • Very snappy and responsive slide action.

  • Machined aluminum slide with lightening cuts, aggressive slide serrations with SAI rollmarks.

Cons:

  • Mine did not come with the EMG SAI licensed proprietary convex thread barrel cap .

  • Will need to purchase additional back straps separately if required.

  • Price is a bit on the higher side.

Comments:

The EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol is a really well designed and built pistol and may be an option for someone looking for a Glock but that maybe want’s to have a more unique pistol with many of the features and benefits a Glock offers. I’m not sure I like the brass/gold highlights but I would say it is not over the top. I am especially impressed with how smooth the slide cycle feels, how snappy the return is and the spring feels the perfect amount. I am expecting when I load a 12 gram CO2 and actually fire the EMG SAI BLU Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol, the blowback operation will be really good! You will pay a bit of a premium for this Airsoft Pistol but it does have premium build and materials in it so it will be worth the slightly higher cost.

EMG TTI Pit Viper JW4 2011 GBB CO2 Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review.

No Comments

Type: GBB Airsoft Pistol.
Manufacturer: Made by EMG.
Model: TTI JW4 2011 Pit Viper.
Materials: Aluminum & polymer components.
Weight: 2.26 pounds (1025 grams).
Length: 8.5 inches (2167mm).
Propulsion: CO2/Green gas.
Action: Semi auto blowback, single action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 28-30 round drop out full size metal magazine.
FPS: Claimed 370-390.

Trigger Pull: The single action only trigger pull on the EMG TTI Pit Viper JW4 2011 GBB CO2 Airsoft Pistol is really great, there is virtually zero take-up with a light, crisp and easy release. 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, similar to the EMG TTI JW3 Combat Master.

Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the EMG TTI Pit Viper JW4 2011 GBB CO2 Airsoft Pistol 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 have to wait till I perform my Field Test Shooting Video coming up shortly. I do however expect it to perform very close to the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master I already made a Field test Video Review for so you can check that on out in the mean time…

Build Quality: The EMG TTI Pit Viper JW4 2011 GBB CO2 Airsoft Pistol is for the most part an all metal gun with a CNC Machined Aluminum Slide and aluminum barrel along with mostly metal parts throughout including much of the frame. Parts of the frame are polymer including the grip area and trigger guard. The fit and finish is awesome on the EMG TTI Pit Viper JW4 2011 GBB CO2 Airsoft Pistol with attention to detail everywhere.

Realism: The EMG TTI Pit Viper JW4 2011 GBB CO2 Airsoft Pistol is based off of the Pit Viper TTI, a replica of the John Wick pistol used in the John Wick 4 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 allowing for quick and easy hop-up adjustments.

Pros:

  • Super crisp, light and short SAO trigger.

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

  • extremely close replica of the Pit Viper 2011 pistol used in the John Wick 4 movie.

  • Rear sight is fully adjustable and sits very flush with the slide.

  • Fiber optic front sight helps with quick targets acquisition.

  • CNC machined Aluminum slide and barrel with polymer frame.

  • Flared magwell for easy quick magazine reloading.

  • Full size high capacity 30 round double stack metal magazine.

  • Ambidextrous thumb safeties.

  • Working grip safety as you would expect on a 1911 based gun.

  • Most Mechanical parts work just like a steel version and can be easily field stripped to access hop-up.

  • Nice snappy 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.

  • Getting magazine but plate off is a bit tuff.

  • No white dot’s or fiber optics in the rear sight.

Comments:

The EMG TTI Pit Viper JW4 2011 GBB CO2 Airsoft Pistol is another great Replica of a John Wick pistol and has a less squared and smaller stature than the EMG Combat Master and a smoother overall look to it. What’s nice is that the magazines are interchangeable between the EMG TTI JW3 and JW4 versions so if you already have one then you will get additional magazine options, perhaps one in Green Gas and one in CO2. I like the slightly bulkier feel to the Combat Master but the Pit Viper is also a decent size, but again slightly more compact and less edges to get caught on your surroundings. Either way, both are awesome options if you are John Wick fan.

EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master John Wick GBB Airsoft Pistol Field Test Review

No Comments

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.

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.

EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master John Wick GBB Airsoft Pistol Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: GBB Airsoft Pistol.
Manufacturer: Made by EMG.
Model: TTI STI 2011 Combat Master.
Materials: Aluminum & polymer components.
Weight: 2.4 pounds (1100 grams).
Barrel: 5 inches (127mm) metal non-rifled.
Propulsion: Green gas.
Action: Semi auto blowback, single action only trigger.
Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: 28 round drop out full size metal magazine.
FPS: Claimed 370.

Trigger Pull: The single action only trigger pull on the EMG TTI STI 2011 Combat Master is really great, there is virtually zero take-up with a light, crisp and easy release. 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.

  • Rear sight is fully adjustable and is not too bulky.

  • Fiber optic front sight helps with quick targets acquisition.

  • CNC machined two tone Aluminum slide with metal frame.

  • Rose Gold barrel looks great!

  • Full size high capacity 28 round double stack metal magazine.

  • Ambidextrous thumb safeties.

  • Working grip safety as you would expect on a 1911 based gun.

  • Most Mechanical parts work just like a steel version and can be easily field stripped to access hop-up.

  • 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!

Air Venturi HPA Tank - KJWorks M9A1 GBB - EMG Combat Master - Crosman P1 - ASG TAC-6 Update Preview Video

No Comments

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.

  • 13 Oz Aluminum

  • 10 Inches Long

  • 2 Inches Diameter

  • Integrated Pressure Gauge

  • Includes Buttstock

  • CO2 Adaptor Included

  • 3000 PSI Fill

  • 1100 PSI Regulated

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.

  • 6mm Airsoft BB’s

  • Green Gas / Propane

  • 370 fps

  • 25 Round Magazine

  • 2 Pounds

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!

  • 6mm Airsoft BB’s

  • Green Gas / Propane

  • 9.4 Inches

  • 366 fps

  • 28 Round Magazine

  • 2.4 Pounds

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.

  • 4.5 mm Steel BB’s

  • CO2 x 1

  • 4.2 Inch Barrel

  • 330 fps

  • 19 Round Magazine

  • 2.4 Pounds

  • Comes with Laser Sight

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.

  • 6mm Airsoft BB’s

  • CO2 x 1

  • 36 Inches

  • 440 fps

  • 15 Round Magazine

  • 3.5 Pounds
