Airguns i shot today!

I was up before 5am packing up a few Air pistols & supplies to head down to one of my makeshift airgun ranges.

it is always difficult to pick out 2 or 3 airguns from my collection, and today was no different, but i settled on a couple Co2 pistols & a .22 cal. Co2 Carbine.

One shoots 4.5mm lead roundball and the other 177cal. Steel BB, and the third fires any type of .22cal lead pellet, lead roundball or alloy Sabot bullet.

 EKOL ES-66 Co2 powered 4.5mm BB pistol.

the select-fire Umarex Legends  Mauser M712 is always a great choice to take shooting!

Once i removed the Diana Chaser's suppressor and removed the plastc inner baffle, i was able to use the suppressors shell as a muzzle break

EKOL ES 66, ES P66C & ES P66 Turkish made Co2 pistols

I have had an EKOL ES-66 .177cal/4.5mm Co2 pistol for a few years.

They are made in Turkey by a company that primarily makes blank firing replica guns, and this Co2 pistol is converted into an airgun from a blank gun.

It is a very realistic heavyweight pistol.

I have the shiny chrome finished pistol, which wasn't by choice, it was the only finish available.

The EKOL ES-66 has a heavy trigger pull, which makes accuracy difficult, but in time and with practice I was able to shoot straight enough to enjoy this pistol.

The EKOL ES-66 has a full size magazine which holds the Co2 & valve system and the spring fed BB mag.

4.5mm/.177cal. Gamo lead roundball ammo cycles perfectly in this pistol, and shoots straighter than the smaller BB caliber steel airgun shot(.175") thanks to a rifled steel barrel.

    i  think that it  resembles the Browning Hi-power 9mm, except for the wraparound plastic grips, and was thrilled to discover that EKOL was bringing out a new version that looks even more like the Hi-power 9mm!!!

The new pistol is the ES P66, as well there is a compact version and both have grips that look identical to those found on Browning Hi-Power 9mm handguns.

Ekol ES66 Co2 BB pistol

I bought my Ekol ES66 because I think it resembles the Browning Hi-power 9mm handgun, and had read that Ekol Air pistols are blank guns converted to airgun.
I hoped that the ES66 would be different than your everyday Cosman or Umarex air pistol.

It is a solid metal pistol, and when the magazine is removed, the slide can be cycled, or removed/field stripped.


I have chronographed my ES66 and it regularily shoots 5 grain steel BB's up around 500 fps.
The trigger pull is very heavy, which makes accuracy difficult.

It is a well made metal air pistol with plastic grips and a full size drop free magazine that holds 14 rounds.

It has a rifled barrel and gamo lead roundball ammo loads and cycles perfectly.
The heavier lead balls shoot around 400 fps and are more accurate than the steel BB's.
