Umarex Beretta APX 4.5mm Co2 air pistol




The Beretta APX 4.5mm Co2 semi-automatic air pistol from Umarex is an excellent replica air pistol.
It looks great, feel great in the hand and shoots suprisingly straight for having a non-rifled barrel.
The metal slide has all the expected, engraved Beretta trademarks in the right places.
The blowback slide action is strictly for simulating recoil, with the DAO trigger loading and firing the rounds.
This air pistol is the type which the barrel acts as the hammer, and as you squeeze the trigger, it pushes the barrel forward, allowing a round to enter the breach, then the barrel slams rearward, hitting the firing pin and releasing Co2 to blast the round out the barrel and down range around 400 fps.
I have tested the muzzle velocity, and it certainly lives up to the manufacturers claims of 400 fps!
