It is not uncommon for two products to bear so much in common that the only thing differentiating them is the name on the side. General Motors was famous for this in the 1990s with their cars. However, this does not always hold true. We’ve received some feedback to this end about two of our products, the Ruger Explorer and the Umarex Embark. Are they the same gun? Let’s Embark on an Exploration of the topic.

The MP40 was a stepping stone, one that came along at a very troubled time in world history. But as with all weapons, the gun has no agenda or conscience, it is the implement of its user’s intent for good or bad. The MP40 has existed long enough to have played its part on both sides of that line. As a CO2 model, it is more of a tribute to technology and firearms evolution. The MP40, like any great and enduring firearms design that has been recreated as a CO2 model today, is a part of history that we can hold in our hands.

If you are a dad, chances are you can’t think of a single thing you want… because you’ve already bought it for yourself!  Shame on us men for doing this, as it makes gift giving for your loved ones extra hard. But there are some sure-fire gift ideas that airgun shooting dads will always love.

Stocking stuffers are usually an afterthought. Just pick up some small stuff and toss in an overly large non-elastic stock. Easy-peasy. No need to overly complicate the matter, but hitting a home-run on the stocking for sport shooters keeps you riding high for the rest of the winter.

In any given caliber or type of projectile launching device, there are three basic variables, the shape of the projectile, the mass of the projectile, and the force of the launch. Changing any of these variables results in different performance based upon the variable altered. The common .223 Remington cartridge is useful to demonstrate this point for all three variables.

Both CO2 and spring powered air guns do need some maintenance to help ensure a long life. Keeping them clean is a big part of that care, but you do need to be careful about what you are putting in and on your air gun. The valve assemblies in today’s CO2 powered air guns are fitted with silicone seals and O-rings.
