Cool as a Dead Star: The DL-44 Blaster Airgun Turned Solo Movie Prop

This gun needs very little introduction. Even Californians can recognize the DL-44 Blastech Blaster. This one, though, is special. Not only is this a one-of-a-kind reproduction of a classic galactic war film prop, it is also a working BB gun. This blaster began life as an Umarex Legends M712, and it’s being auctioned to benefit the Student Air Rifle program.

The New Beretta M9A3

GnatWarfare: Airsoft an Emerging Practice and Training Aid - With the Right Targets
Airsoft is fun. I was introduced to airsoft almost two decades ago, in my brother-in-law’s back yard. I took on a few well-armed six-year-olds, and realized just how out of shape I was.

Springer or PCP: What Airgun Platform is Right for You?

The world of airgunning has had many choices for a long time.  What has filtered into most shooters hands out of convenience and economic feasibility has been spring powered rifles. PCP’s have been around… for a really long time, but due to their appetite for extremely high-pressure air, and the costs associated with building both the pumps and rifles, PCP shooting was typically reserved for activities where the utmost precision was required.
