Umarex Octane Airgun / Pellet Gun Review
2013 introduced us to a lot of new products. One of the featured products from Umarex at the 2013 SHOT show was their new Umarex Octane. This rifle promised gas ram technology, super magnum velocity, high build quality and durability (backed by a 3 year warranty), with minimal shot noise. That’s a lot to pack […]

Gamo Little Cat Video Review
Video Transcript The lil’ cat takes a departure from gamo’s use of composite and incorporates an ambidextrous wood stock and steel barrel.

The Gamo Little Cat – Airgun / Pellet Gun review – Part 2
Lead or non-lead.. that is the question… Given that the Little Cat is focused on the youth market, I spent a lot of time looking for an accurate lead free pellet.

HW50 Airgun / Pellet gun Review – Part 2
The HW50 .22 cal airgun is supposed to shoot up to 574 feet per second. These velocities, unless otherwise noted, are usually measured with lightweight lead pellets. Some manufactures will test with alloy pellets and post “up to” velocities for both Lead and Lead free. Gamo is a good example. Their Whisper Fusion Pro in […]
Weihrauch HW50S .22 Cal Breakbarrel Air Rifle Review – Part 1
When it comes to spring guns, you can have extreme power, or extreme accuracy, but I’m not sure for certain that you can have both. I’ve never seen it work out in the years I’ve been testing airguns anyway. The sweet spot is to find a quality airgun that has great accuracy WITH sufficient power […]
