Under Pressure: Stress is Always Around the Corner
It comes in waves. What? Well, lots of things. Good things, bad things, Inconsequential things, highly consequential things, and things that mean nothing to anyone but you, and things that mean everything to the people who surround you. Waves of productivity and waves of stagnation. Waves of joy and waves of grief. Each yearly journey around the sun draws the sea up for these waves, the ones that bless us and the ones that swamp us and in between there’s a calm where things are just moving along fine– smooth sailing.
Top 5 BB Replicas for 2024
What’s been happening for Umarex in 2024? Quite a lot actually. We thought we’d take a few moments to show you guys what you’ve been buying, first in the BB replica category. In a later installment we will look at pellet rifles, and then accessories. You might be missing out on something you didn’t even know we had! But with this first batch of best sellers, I’m afraid there are no surprises. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. What do I mean? See below!
Top 5 Umarex Air Rifles (so far) in 2024
It’s 2024 and you guys have really been picking up our air rifles. Which ones? We will get to that in just a minute. I don’t know if you will be surprised, but I was, just a little bit. Not to spoil the ending, but to quote Bob Dylan, “The times, they are a changin’.” Trends come and go, but I think something more than just a trend is at play here. Let’s dig in!
They Have Arrived
And it’s about time. Yes, the Gauntlet 2SL in .22 and .25 have arrived. In case you need a reminder, the Gauntlet has historically used a bolt action system, but now the new generation of the Gauntlet is equipped with a side lever. We were able to introduce the .30 caliber Gauntlet SL earlier in the year and it was a huge success. We sold out in a short period of time and have been awaiting a restock. Moreover, the people who chose the G30 SL loved the side lever and love the big 24 cubic inch tank and consistent performance the Gauntlet is known for.
Bargain Price, Rich Performance– The New Iconix PCP
The Pre-Charged Pneumatic trend is, at this point, not a trend. It is a fact of life that is here to stay. For the bulk of shooters, getting into a PCP with the required compressor or pump just takes too big of a bite out of their wallet.
We Say this is Cool and You Will Agree
Earlier this spring we attended the NRA Annual Meetings and Exposition in Dallas, Texas. As a part of our booth, we teamed up with Laser Ammo and Gnat Warfare to build what we will humbly call the coolest interactive display in the whole building. You see, some of LaserAmmo’s R.E.A.L. conversion kits made for blowback airsoft pistols will drop right into our GLOCK replicas. These drop-in laser barrels in combination with Laser Ammo’s Interactive Targets and Gnat Warfare’s “flying” drone targets all added up to the most fun of any booth in the show.
Komplete Giveaway
There’s always good news and bad news when it comes to just about anything. We tried really hard to get you guys all the good news first when it came to the Komplete and I think we did a fair job of that. We were able to launch the product and sell them on the same day. Unfortunately we were only able to get a small load of Kompletes shipped in for the launch.

In the world of emergency preparedness, ensuring that one has reliable and efficient tools is paramount.

5 Reasons you Need a Blowback Replica Airgun in 2024
To quote the great comedian Tommy Chong, “There’s too much recession, man.” Or was it too much repression? Either way, between the economic situation and the state of the world there’s a good sized handful of reasons why you need to be using a blowback airgun in 2024. Without wasting (too) many words, listen up.
