Scope Parallax Issues By: UmarexUSA | - Whenever we get into a discussion with someone about rifle scopes, inevitably the subject of parallax arises. Scope parallax confuses a lot of people, and there is a great deal of misunderstanding on the subject.
First things first; the term parallax is used to describe the difference in angles between objects that are seen up close and those seen far away. When you are driving and look at telephone poles pass by on the side of the road, those closest to your car seem to pass ve ... Tags:air rifle, airgun, airsoft guns, paintball,
Beretta Px4 Storm Recon Co2 Pistol Review By: UmarexUSA | - I recently had the distinct pleasure of shooting a Beretta Px4 Storm Recon CO2 pistol (pull down menu on right) from Umarex USA. In the realm of CO2 replicas, this example of a Beretta Px4 Storm variant with Walther Xenon Tactical Light and Walther Green Shot Dot holographic sight is well worth shooting and/or collecting. The Px4 Storm has a very similar weight and balance to the actual Beretta Px4 Storm firearm. The addition of the four point Picatinny rail system allows a variety of options t ...

Air Rifle Competition By: UmarexUSA | - Have you ever watched a collegiate air rifle match? Until recently I hadnt. Prior to the event a friend told me it could get rather boring, but I chose to go with an open mind. The truth is, I enjoyed the rhythmic sound of lead pellets plinking against the steel traps at the end of the short indoor range. Maybe it was simply the change of paceno phones ringing, no emails, and no one knocking on the door. Just lead hitting steel and low whispers from the other spectators in the room.< ...

Rws Lp8 Pistol Review By: UmarexUSA | - I was as thrilled as many other owners of the Walther LP53 air pistol (LP is German for Luft Pistole) when James Bond appeared on movie posters for four of his films holding this svelte pistol. And it was a decent target pistol as well, producing 1/2-inch groups at 10 meters by a skilled shooter. What the gun lacked was horse-power and range. Trying to shoot pigeons annoyed them more than anything else.
Baby Desert Eagle Test Fire By: UmarexUSA | - I recently had the pleasure of shooting the Magnum Research Baby Desert Eagle BB pistol. Having seen it profiled as one of several affordable, high quality air pistols, and also on several message boards and blogs discussing the guns characteristics, I wanted to give the pistol a try for myself to see how much truth there was to the hype behind the pistol.
The first claim that the Magnum Research Baby Desert Eagle BB CO2 powered BB pistol is affordable is most definitely true. The p ... Tags:airguns, BBs, Umarex USA, paintball,
Bent Barrel Prevention By: UmarexUSA | - The Umarex USA Service Department typically receives one or two break barrel rifles per week that have upward bent barrels. At first, this might seem like a strange phenomenon. After all, to cock a break barrel rifle, one typically has to pull down on the barrel of the gun, not up. Why, then, would we see so many upward bent barrels?
This upward bending of the barrel occurs when a person has the gun in an open cocked position, safety OFF, and then pulls the trigger. The result of this ... Tags:Umarex USA, airsoft guns, Pelletguns,
The Walther Talon Magnum Airgun By: UmarexUSA | - So went my first session with the Walther Talon Magnum, from Umarex USA.This Turkish-made spring-piston airgun packs a wallop, and the numbers from my chronograph helped me understand why. You dont sneer at 900+ fps in a .22 caliber spring rifle..the majority of them shoot in the high 600s to low 800s. And this gun was nudging 1000 fps in .22 time after time, using RWS Superdome pellets.
Now, all that power doesnt come for free..and the trade off is the stiff spring t ... Tags:airguns, RWS, Umarex USA, paintball,
High Power Pistol Test Fire By: UmarexUSA | - If you look at the Umarex line of BB pistols, youll see several, like the HK USP,that reach or top 400 feet per second. And of these, only one has blowback (recoil) actionthe HPP (High Power Pistol).
BB pistols powered by CO2require a lot of gas to kick their slides back when they fire a projectile, so until the HPP, its been hard to find a BB gun with blowback that legitimately shot at 400 feet per second. In my velocity test using a full CO2 capsule, the highest readin ... Tags:Umarex USA, BB gun, Airsoft guns, paintball,
Steel Storm Test Fire By: UmarexUSA | - Every now and then you see a product that catches your eye. Youre intrigued, but perhaps it doesnt seem practical or logical. Enter the Umarex Steel Storm. Its not a typical Umarex replica and its not high-priced, but it looks like a load of fun and thats what makes this product intriguing.
There are a couple of videos online that tout the features and show the action of the Steel Storm, but no video can really do this gun justiceyou need to experience it for yourself ... Tags:RWS, BBs, Umarex USA, airsoft guns,
Umarex Colt Defender Review By: UmarexUSA | - The Colt Defender stands out in quality and performance. It's light compared to the actual Colt Defender Lightweight without any ammo. This Umarex replica does not look exactly like the real Colt Defender, but instead looks like a compact variant of the real Colt 1911A1 with a Picatinny rail in front of the trigger.
On the package of the Defender, the icons on the front and back give a full description of the construction, capabilities, features, ammo, power and expected velocity. Insi ... Tags:RWS, airgun, Umarex USA, paintball,
Shooting For The First Time Using An Airgun To Train By: UmarexUSA | - Hunting for land roaming creatures wasnt part of my childhood, although seeking swimming critters was. So my exposure to guns was quite limited. I dont recall ever shooting a gun until I was 30.
I grew up in a small town, just 40 miles from a big city of 400,000 people. I fished with my dad and grandmother, camped, rode a bicycle, and mowed lawns. I knew my grandpa had a shotgun, but I had never touched it or saw it in action. My first real exposure to a gun was when I was 8 or 9 ... Tags:RWS Air Rifle, airgun, Umarex USA, paintball,
Fun With Airguns By: UmarexUSA | - Break out your air rifles, air pistols, airsoft guns, and RAM markers and get outside and have some fun with your closest friends and family. There are many games and targets for air guns that will excite you and challenge your competitive nature.
The first rule when setting up a game or competition is to always observe gun safety rules. Think about what might get hit if a shooter misses the intended target. Once youve determined the area youre using is safe and legal, the fun ca ... Tags:airsoft, airgun, Umarex USA, airsoft guns,
The Airgun Attraction By: UmarexUSA | - As the cost of firearm ammunition continues rise, so does the popularity of airguns for both recreation and small game hunting or pest control.
Higher velocity air rifles, or Magnum air rifles like the Walther Talon Magnum are attractive to those looking for speed. These recreation or sporting air rifles are mostly used for plinking or paper target shooting, although shooters that acquire great accuracy with their .177 caliber air rifles do use them for small pest control.
Achieving Accuracy With An Air Rifle By: UmarexUSA | - Shooting a magnum spring powered air rifle is much different than shooting a .22 rim-fire or .308 center-fire rifle. It takes practice and patience to master shooting a spring piston rifle. Some have said that a better marksman will result when a person begins in the shooting sports with a spring powered air rifle and then moves to a firearm, as opposed to starting first with a rim- or center-fire. This is due to the fact that unlike a firearm, an air rifle has two specific recoils. The first ki ... Tags:Air gun, air rifle, Umarex USA, paintball,
Rws 460 Magnum Under Lever Air Rifle Technical Report By: UmarexUSA | - My first air rifle was an RWS Model 34 in .177-caliber, a gun that got me started in air rifle hunting. My first scope was a dim 4 X 32 starter scope, which quickly made me realize that air rifle hunting with less than 6 X 40 is to be avoided if any of this activity takes place in dim light. I went on to buy a number of additional air rifles in .22-caliber including another Model 34. A Model 48 in .22-cal became my mainstay hunting rifle for many years. And then, as I switched from crow hu ... Tags:Air rifle, RWS, Umarex USA, paitball,
Many of the air pistols and Real Action Markers serviced at our gun benches involve inoperable and clogged valves or deteriorated o-rings and seals. More times than not, its evident that a lesser quality CO2 cylinder was regularly used in these airguns and markers.
