Airgun World – Summer 2019

magazines, so I tried out three different makes

to test it. I found that Spitfire pellets were

slightly loose, but RWS Hobby flatheads and

Remington Tyrant Punch flatheads we’re a

nice snug fit, with no problems about pellets

falling out – and I fired a lot of pellets!

PERFORMANCE AND PRICE

Claimed fps on this pistol is 420; I didn’t test it,

but it felt pretty good to me. It’ll easily punch

holes in tin cans etc., and as with any CO2

pistol, the power will drop off towards the end

of the CO2 bulb. The pistol can also easily be

partly field stripped for cleaning and

maintenance.

The price of this pistol varies. I’ve seen it

priced at up to £140, which is still a pretty

good price for such a quality made, and very

sturdy pistol from Umarex. I managed to get

mine for £128, a bargain in my opinion. The

this pistol is so addictive! Before you know it,
you’ve rattled off eight shots, dropped out the
mag, put another pellet mag in, slapped the
magazine back home, and bang! You’re off
again, just like the real thing! So much fun ...
it’s maybe not the most accurate pistol out
there, but it’s easily one of the most fun to
shoot as far as I’m concerned, and at six yards
my first eight shots still got on target, which is
the main thing. I’ve also shot it at 18 yards and
it’ll still easily get on target.

MAGAZINES
Once you’ve fired off your four pellet mags, slot
another four in and you’re off firing again. I
bought another three spare pellet magazines
for around £12, so all my ammo was ready,
and I could just keep firing.
Some reviews on this pistol have noted that
pellets don’t seat snugly in the pellet

only downside to this pistol, if

there is one – you’re going to spend a lot of

money on pellets and CO2 bulbs, but one thing

is for certain, you’re going to enjoy it!
