Umarex air pistol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Umarex air pistols are air gun replicas of handguns manufactured by Umarex Sportwaffen of Germany under license from the manufacturers of the original firearms.[citation needed]

They are imported into the United States by Umarex USA, Inc..

Design

[edit]

The replicas are operated by disposable carbon dioxide (CO2) cylinders and fire .177 caliber airgun pellets or steel BBs. Depending on the model, they use removable 8-round or 10-round rotary magazines. For some revolver and lever-action rifles, drop-out magazines that eject from the bottom of the grip or shells are also in use.
