Umarex XBG .177 Caliber BB

In my opinion the best bb gun made, I had mine for 2 years and I used it like every day and it worked great, eventually the seal broke in it tho an this was like 9 months ago, all in all an amazing c02 pistol and is great for whatever you're trying to do whether it's target practice, stopping a pest an or a home intruder. Got a great sight an on a full c02 canister it definitely very powerful it shoots fast asl. Definitely a good pricing for this an would buy again.

Bought the Umarex XBG .177 for my 12 year old grandson for Christmas. I can say that it shoots great and he loves it. It holds 19 BB's per magazine and we are seeing about 7 to 8 magazines per C02 cartridge. It has plenty of power and will knock 12 oz cans off a ledge easily. It looks real and has a metal magazine. My younger grandson which is 8 can shoot it as well. The only negative we can think of is the trigger pull is really long. The sights are nice, easy to see and true. He is having a blast with it. I would recommend this particular model to anyone who wants to teach children how to shoot.

Not the most accurate BB pistol out there but definitely good enough for a basic entry level air gun. A few dabs of bright orange nail polish on the sights made them much more visible. The 19 round metal magazine is a much appreciated convenience and is easy to load. Good for around 25’ but I expect the accuracy to drop off much further than that. Heck of a lot cheaper than sending live rounds down range for those days when you want to practice but don’t feel like heading for your range.

Made of good material it’s pretty loud it’s good for the price love the design feels good in the hand and it weighs 2/1 pounds.

I had not used an air gun since I was a kid and my grandfather had a Daisy BB gun he would let me shoot in the backyard and I'd make my own targets on blank paper, creating my own imaginary enemies to defeat. I always enjoyed going there to shoot that gun and it's a fond memory from my childhood. I don't know why I decided to purchase an air gun now in my mid-20's, but let me say I was blown away with what I got for my money with this particular Air Pistol. The Umarex XBG has gone above and beyond my expectations since purchasing it over a month ago and using it almost daily. It has a realistic look to it and can easily be mistaken for a real gun if it is dark or if you're not close enough to see the detail. I've actually had friends who thought it was real as I held it in my hand and showed it to them, obviously these aren't exactly people with much if any firearm training but still, the point is it LOOKS nice. As for how it shoots, I have not been disappointed at all. It is pretty accurate, and shoots somewhere around 400 fps. It can easily injure someone or worse if not used carefully. I've been shot with it in the small of the back on a near-empty CO2 cartridge and it hurt bad enough I fell to my knees and had to clench my teeth in pain (though I was shot from no more than 3 feet away). I would suggest getting some extra magazines for this gun if you decide to buy it. It is not time-consuming to load by any means, but it does cut back on reloading time significantly with an extra pair of metal magazines (which can be bought either here on Amazon or at your local Wal-Mart). I love the fact that there is a button to release the magazine and the location of the safety is perfectly placed for a right-handed person to easily change on and off using your trigger finger. My ONLY complaint after a month of near daily use of this gun is the trigger pull. I wouldn't say that it's HARD to pull the trigger, but the gun would be more accurate if the trigger pull were a little more loose. Every time I shoot it I have to pull it back to a point where more exertion is needed to actually FIRE the gun and this can occasionally cause my hand to move slightly. This is only a problem when firing it one-handed however, so considering most of the time I use both hands it doesn't become a problem. Overall I would say DEFINITELY buy this gun if you are looking for a cheap but reliable and exciting air pistol. There are some other air pistols on Amazon and other sites that go for between $10-$40 more than the Umarex XBG and really have no noticeable extra improvements, often just bigger names. I'd recommend this for just about anyone who enjoys air guns and wants something cheap that shoots like a gun that shoots like a gun 2 to 3 times its price;

I would have given it more stars. However after using it rather lightly I'd say. Have used 6 co² cartridges total. It will no longer accept co² cartridges? I followed directions putting a drop of oil on the top of the cartrige when changing the cartridges. Bought the same brand cartridges as the BB gun. Unfortunately now it blows the co² cartridges empty. They will no longer seal when changing. The gun lasted less than 2 months. Leaving me with co² cartridges i can't use and more than a thousand BB's left over. The return window past by less than 3 weeks ago. The pistol didn't last 2 months of very light usage. Save your money buy a different brand.

This gun is fantastic and shoots faster than I had anticipated. As you can see from my pictures, I shot at a tree from 40 feet away and the BBs penetrated both the bark and underlying wood. Look and Feel: This gun is not small by any means. With regard to size it is a true-to-life replica. The weight distribution is located mostly in the handle and allows it to rest comfortably in your hand. Although it does have a fairly noticeable plastic feel, the gun still maintains a solid build and can pass as real. Accuracy and Power: I set the gun on a tripod and marked a piece of wood at the point where my sight was aimed. I then shot and marked the point where the BB actually hit in order to measure the drop from different distances. At 40 feet the drop is less than 1/4inch. At 60 feet the drop was measured at 3/4 of an inch. At 80 feet the drop became more prevalent and measured in at a little over 1 and a half inches. At 100 feet the drop was measured as 2 inches, and at that distance the BBs also started to slightly curve with the prevailing wind. I started the test with a full cartridge of CO2. Lifespan of CO2 cartridge size: Overall the C02 cartridges offered a steady 90 shots worth of decently accurate trigger pulls. After that the depletion of air became more evident as each shot started to drop more and more. Overall: 90 decently accurate and powerful shots, 40 lob shots, and 10 shots that travel no more than 10 feet. I recorded an average of 150 shots per CO2 cartridge. Con 1: This is not a quick pour reload gun. The magazine holds 20 BBs and you have to insert them into the clip one by one. I often find myself spending more time reloading than shooting. Con 2: The magazine clip has a tendency to jam. For every 5 magazine loads I would insert I would say 2 of them ended up in a jam. At which point I had to remove the magazine, remove the clogged BB, and reinsert the magazine (sometimes I had to do this 2-3 times until finally the top BB was properly pushed into the chamber).

Fun, fun, fun. Not the most accurate bb gun I have shot. But one of the most fun. Bought extra mags and this bb gun can mag dump with the best of em.😉 I don’t think I’d use it for anything more than spraying targets at close range. At 25 ft a mag full looks like a shotgun pattern. About a foot and a half spread. At 10 foot a mag dump shreds about an inch size hole. I have accurate pellet pistols for more precise shooting so I’m good with that. Bottom line is this pistol is FUN to shoot.🙂 Even better with extra mags 😁 but about the only things I am going to try to kill with it are thin skinned water bottles. Close 😉
