  • 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 ...

  • 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.

    Now along comes RWS with a real powerhouse of a pistol, the Walther spring-pi ...

Weeds are plants themselves and can wreak havoc on the crop by sticking on to our crops and squeezing out their nutrition. But they can never ...

    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.

  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...

  • The Ak47 Airgun For Youngsters And Adults As A New Hobby
    By: John Stuller | - The AK 47 Airsoft air rifle is a powerful electrically loaded air rifle built in the imitation of the world-famous AK47 Kalaschnikow rifle traditionally employed by the Soviets after the World War II. As any air gun, it is not powerful sufficiently to induce severe hurts, still if it can induce serious hurts if directed at sensitive parts of a somebody's body like the eyes, visage, genitalia or back of the neck. Bigger hematomae are usual if this air rifle is utilised for personal shot games. Be ...

  • The Aeg Airsoft Ak47 Airgun For Shooting Exercise Without Danger
    By: John Stuller | - The AK47 Airsoft is an air gun which functions with an electric mechanism to recharge the gun instead of the traditional gas-system which recharged the original real-life rifle AK47 which was likewise named the "Kalaschnikow" and to a great extent applied by the Soviet regular army after World War 2.

    Significant characteristics of this air rifle are course, as with any air rifle, the cheap price tag of both the gun and the slugs, the length of service of it all since plastic slugs ...

  • The Kalaschnikow As An Airgun For Sports
    By: John Stuller | - An AEG Airsoft Gun, specially the more notable guns like the A-K 47 Airsoft alias Kalaschnikow air gun, is a really elaborated and strong air rifle which as you know doesn't endanger the lives of anybody around you since it is not a "actual" rifle by the classical definition. But it's electric power is large enough to perforate soda cans, hard plastic, fibre and vegetables, thence shooting with it is surprisingly similar to employing a realistic gun, minus all the danger of being capable to enda ...

  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...

    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.

  • What Is The Best Ammo For Air Rifles?
    By: Peter Boston | - As you might expect the most common topics on airgun forums are the features and foibles of the dozens and dozens of different models, but following closely behind the model discussions is the chatter about airgun ammunition or pellets. You may not expect that a.177 caliber pellet from Manufacturer A would perform wildly different from a.177 caliber pellet from Manufacturer B in the same airgun, but they do. To make it even more complicated Manufacturer B's ammo may outperform Manufacturer A's i ...
