Umarex UX Trap-Shot Airgun Target

Product Information

Umarex also carries a huge line of accessories for almost any application, from cleaning kits and care products to optics and airgun ammo. A second issue noticed on test was that the gun failed to fire the first pellet from the magazine on two separate occasions. We were not able to isolate the cause of this issue. Nor to repeat it thereafter.

The motion, vertical and horizontal, of a projectile. Trajectories resemble parabolas and depend on six factors: projectile velocity, air resistance, barrel angle, gravity, drag coefficient and twist. This is the sort of minor issue that can cause issues when new. However the owner would soon compensate naturally when loading the magazine. We did!So the Umarex Emerge tested by HAM definitely does not have a “glass break trigger”. However, this trigger performance is appropriate for the price and the gun’s expected uses: plinking and close-range hunting. It’s likely to satisfy most owners in this price range. Maybe this was a simple case of operator error. Maybe it was part of the learning curve associated with the magazine loading system? We don’t know. However it’s definitely something for the new Emerge owner to watch out for. As you can see, the Umarex Emerge has plenty of room to accept installing even a fairly long scope as this, without causing loading issues. That’s a benefit that is not shared by all breakbarrel air rifles. Umarex Legends series: Airguns modeled after historical firearms, capturing the spirit and aesthetics of iconic guns from the past. This means that it offers strong value from a price/features perspective. However, we also need to consider the other attributes that it offers, like power, consistency and accuracy. We’ll do that in this test review.

I’m impressed, very impressed with this kit. Yes, there are PCP rifles out there for similar money, but for CO2 lovers this Umarex 850 M2 is a massive step up in terms of quality, accuracy and performance. Not only that, it’s really easy to shoot and extremely good fun, to boot. It’s the ideal gift for our younger shooters and for those just getting into the sport, as well as seasoned shooters who fancy a play with something a little different to the norm. When you open that box and see all the goodies inside, it’s like opening a birthday present – there’s just so much to go at. The Predator GTO and H&N Field Target Trophy Green alloys gave good groups, as did the 8.64 Grain, lead, Field Target Trophy pellets. Best accuracy was achieved using the heavy Baracuda Match pellets and so these were chosen for the 25 Yard test.

Black Guns vs Two Tone Guns (red, blue etc)

As a matter of course the state of the art airsoft soldier needs more than that: Equipment like Knives, Lights, Headsets, Slings and cool looking Patches are a must have for everybody. There’s no AO (Adjustable Objective) for close focusing, (But let’s be realistic, how good can a scope that’s bundled with an air rifle at this price ever have really high quality optics)? The Umarex Emerge tested by HAM delivered a maximum Muzzle Velocity of 1,143 FPS with both of the lightweight alloy pellets in the standard HAM test suite.

The Emerge is supplied with a typical Umarex owner’s manual. It’s well illustrated, good quality, multi-lingual and with plenty of illustrations.

Prevents inadvertent firing of a semiautomatic pistol when the magazine is partly or fully removed. HAM Tester Eric Brewer considered this accuracy to be respectable for a breakbarrel air rifle of this price. Really, it was only that one shot at 7:30 breaking the outer ring that spoiled a reasonable group. However Eric did not call that as a “flier”. Muzzle Velocity was somewhat less consistent, with the average Standard Deviation across the range of standard HAM test pellets being 20.00 FPS. This is a high figure, however the values varied considerably across pellet types. The most-accurate H&N Baracuda Match pellets, for example, had a decent Standard Deviation of 9.74 FPS.
