Excellent news

I have one from Rothery's to review and used it the other day, Well I know that I had fun with it!!

I like my RP5.
Good to have a proper co2 pistol instead of a replica.

Im not sure why/how the designers at Umarex came up with it but it works well and is fun to use.

Maybe not quite as good as the HW44 but compare prices plus the fact that you dont need an air tank.

With the carbine model too I think this will do well for Umarex.

A couple of people with the carbine version were at my club the other day and let me have a go. It was fun to shoot, felt powerful enough and I like the look. One of them was having trouble with the pump action being stiff and getting jammed pellets, not sure if this was typical or just because it was brand new and needed wearing in or that it was cold. If I didn't already have a Crosman custom 2400KT incoming I'd look at one of these.
