High Power Pistol Test Fire

If you look at the Umarex line of BB pistols, youll see several

, like the HK USP,that reach or top 400 feet per second. And of these, only one has blowback (recoil) actionthe HPP (High Power Pistol).

BB pistols powered by CO2require a lot of gas to kick their slides back when they fire a projectile, so until the HPP, its been hard to find a BB gun with blowback that legitimately shot at 400 feet per second. In my velocity test using a full CO2 capsule, the highest reading I achieved was 392.A lot of weather elements affect CO2, so I have no doubt that the HPP can legitimately

exceed 400 fps under the right conditions.

My first time handling this gun, I dropped the magazine from the HPP onto the concrete floor as I was looking it over. The bottom popped off and the spring went flying. It was simple to put it back together though and still performed without incident. The magazine is easy to loadjust pull the follower down, lock it into place, and put 15 BBs in the hole located in the mag. I was able to put a 16th BB in at the BB exit port, but the gun didnt seem to want to function with that additional BB. It would jam and the trigger would lock up only to be freed by working the magazine free and racking the slide a couple of times. The HPP worked flawlessly when only 15 BBs were loadedI recommend that you only load 15 as the manual states. Although I didnt use one, theUmarexUSA Steel BB Speedloader would have reduced my loading time.

I was pleased to see that the slide locked back when the magazine emptied.Not only is it a clear indication that its time to reload, but it saves CO2. With many BBguns, you may end up pulling the trigger a couple of times before realizing that youre out of ammo. The metal composition of the slide also provided a very noticeable kick in my wrists and a cool clank sound. Obviously not as substantial as youll feel and hear from your actual side carry, but cool nonetheless.

I didnt test this gun for accuracy, but I had no problem plinking a few objects I had set out at about 15 feet and was able to get six full magazines at a steadytrigger pull interval of 2 to 3 seconds before audibly noticing a reduction in power.I ended up shooting two more magazines at a more rapid pace to use up the CO2 until it just wouldnt function any longer.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at the heft and feel of this Umarex BB gun that retails in the neighborhood of $75. The picture in Umarex USAs 2010 catalog doesnt do it justice. As with many air guns, you just need to pull the trigger to appreciate it.
