Umarex Beretta M92 A1 Blowback Full-Auto .177 Caliber BB Gun Air Pistol

The gun is fun to shoot. However when it needs to be reloaded, you have to find a small pointed object to compress the spring in the ammo clip and get it to latch on a very thin notch very gently. Sort of like setting an old mouse trap latch. Then you have to load the bbs into a hole one at a time. The co2 cartridge requires an Allen wrench to screw a cap that is a pain to get the threads started evenly. It's such a pain that it takes away all the pleasure of shooting it. If they could make reloading easier they would have something good.

BARELLA M92A1 and M9A3So far, I recommend the these BB guns. I bought the M92A1 in July 2022 for $130 and it worked great until it started jamming after a month of my regular use of about 1,000 rounds. It cost me $18 to return it to UMAREX who determined it was unfixable and would be replaced. My family really liked the gun when it worked. UMAREX was currently out of stock and awaiting a shipment from China. I think they’re still waiting while Amazon is selling one for about $175 so I was starting to get nervous over the shipping delay and that’s what caused me to switch to the Barella M9A3. As far as I’m concerned, it is identical to the M92A1 except tan in color instead of black. UMAREX agreed to ship me one of those as a replacement. So I got the M9A3, used it and love it. Due to shipping problems from China, UMAREX was in a spot and I was very pleased the way they worked with me, mostly employee C. The M9A3 weighs 3 pounds which it slightly heavy for me and it is CO2 loud. To load BBs the manual says to pull the BB follower down and lock it. That’s hard to do with this clip. The spring is so tight it precludes using your fingernails so for the M9A3 I am using a tool made of nylon which I’m still perfecting and locking the follower is still a job. I used a steel tool on the M92A1 which I think abraded the steel clip too much, though it was cosmetic. The manual also says the clip holds 18 BBs but it won’t load into the gun properly until you reduce to 16. Like I said, I really like the gun but can’t totally trust it yet so I’m going to put over 3,000 rounds through it before the warranty is up in 90 days.

So I broke out my old gear from the attic, found my old co2 gun up there, as it was really old it didnt work, the gas would leak out fast, but it kindled something inside of me that wanted to shoot bottles and cans from a fence... So I bought this and this is my review...Pros - This gun looks and feels real, I am experienced in these weapons and unless I took out the club and looked, I could not tell the difference at all.. The weight of the gun is about 2 and half pounds, and all metal, I dont think the real gun is that heavy... The Auto fire feature is very cool, you can clear the clip in less than 2 seconds.. and giggle at the end of each clip.. The back flow is also very cool giving it a more realistic feel when firing the gun.The simple feel of the gun is just great, I love having it in my hand and shooting it...CONS = Its really heavy, after a while of shooting you actually do get a little fatigued, the real gun I think is about 3/4 the weight of this gun.. If feels good, but really a bit heavy in your hand. Loading this thing is not easy, the bbs fit in the clip along with the gas canister, the little handle to pull down the spring so you can load the bbs are so far in that it takes several tries to get it to stay... Then the hole is almost in the middle of the clip.. which only allows for 18 bbs.. but it can easily hold 25.. Full auto clears the clip in 2 seconds, so more bbs in the clip is almost necessary..Not as accurate as you would think it would be, Berretta is a great gun name, so I was surprised that the sights were so off and no way to adjust them? this was an oversight I am sure.Blow back is great, but it uses the gas and pressure to be able to do it and the gun is all meatal, so it does take quite a bit of pressure for that to work.. So as this will use your gas pretty quick as well, when you couple that with the auto fire, you may only get about 3 maybe 4 clips of ammo per gas charge.Loading the gas canister is like trying to do one of those finger puzzles, its round and indented, and they give you a tool for it, but... the hole where the tool goes happens to go all the way through, so you cant just put it on that way you need to finger it on and that is not easy, as it could cross thread over and over, eventually I do get it after about 5 or 6 tries.. Gets frustrating for sure...The price - Now this is one of the most expensive ones out there at about 130 bucks a pop, but it is a replica and a perfect one at that, so although I am not sure I would purchase it again at that price, I am not sad I have it...FINAL THOUGHT - The gun looks and feels real, if you are a collector, and want a real Berretta, this is the one for you, Shooting it is very fun, single shot has a little more accuracy and can shoot bottles off the fence, auto mode is not for accuracy and more for just fun, because you will loose it when you shoot it in full auto...Would I buy it again now..... Yeah, I think I would.. It is a replica, and super accurate one too... So I would recommend it... But keep in mind my cons when you do... its a pain in the ass to load and gas.. but once they are... man its fun! Hope this helped you make a good purchasing decision.

I did not really dislike anything about this product. It works great it’s very realistic. And the automatic on this thing is crazy it will unload a whole magazine in 1.5 seconds. when it is an automatic mode, but it is much more accurate when it’s in semi auto mode.

The spring for my clip was stretched out too far or incorrectly during assembly difficult to lock in place and reload I’d say overall crafted with excellence other than the clip itself is a bit sloppy .. love the auto switch!

Quite pricey

Très chère et dure à recharger
