Morini 200ei

[zooma]

I have a couple Morini pistols, an older 162e with the fixed cylinder and a CM84e LBP. The electronic trigger is fantastic on both but both of mine take the slightly obscure 15v battery. It would be interesting to know what advantages the 200ei has over the 162ei, I find it hard to believe they can make it that much bette though as the 162 didn’t seem to have many shortcomings. I’ve considered upgrading my 162e to the 162ei spec (at lest the removeable cylinder) but don’t think I could justify upgrading beyond that, especially since I’ve mostly been shooting a Feinwerkbau SSP recently.

I think the only difference's between your Morini CM 162e match air pistol and the newer CB162ei model is the removable air cylinder, and the different circuit board that requires a different 15volt battery.

The CM162ei uses two AAA cells that are much easier to find as they are used in most of our television remote controllers and have a lot of other common uses. I am not sure if the newer type circuit board will just plug-in to the older model CM162e match pistol?

The latest CM200ie match pistol has a circuit board that runs on 3volts and needs a CR2 battery - another change of power supply!

I know even less about your CM84e LBP rim fire .22 LR Free Pistol - but I am guessing that they also updated the circuit board on their Free Pistol at the same time (?) and that newer models would probably use a pair of AAA batteries or a CR2 .......or maybe they have gone for rechargeable batteries like the Walther system?

Yes I believe the cylinder and circuit are the only difference between the 162e and 162ei. The odd battery isn5 a big deal as I’ve fever had difficulty getting one and the seem to last for ages (at least with the amount I use them).

I think the circuit in the free pistol is very similar to the 162e, I don’t think they are interchangeable though. I don’t think they’ve changed the power supply in these, the website still lists the 15v battery. I’m not sure if they still make a uk LBP variant now, there certainly aren’t many about.

Are there any significant upgrades between the 162 and 200 models you’re aware of?

It gives the full spec and details.....along with some very nice pictures

We have just found out this afternoon that the new orange and gold air cylinders for the 200ei are about 1/2" shorter than the red and blue ones that come with the 162ei.

This may help to explain the fewer shots per fill that has been reported by current 200ei owners.

As long as the cylinders still fit the same (same screw thread etc) then fitting one of the new colour cylinders to a 162ei would not be a problem, although it will be shorter and hold less air.

Fitting a 162ei cylinder to a 200ei may not be so good (assuming the same screw thread etc allow it to be screwed-on) as it will be longer than the end of the muzzle, and those that want to take part in any competitions with their new 200ei will have to use the shorter cylinder to ensure that it will still fit inside the "weapons control" box.

I love my morini 200, though did like my older 162 (long version).

It seems better balanced, the trigger appears more precise and the action quicker - though I have no way to give comparison figures.

It does appear to use more air, but it has a shorter cylinder however as it comes with two cylinders the lower shot count doesn't bother me.

If you have any questions please ask and I'll try to answer them.

Thanks Matt,

I was able to shoot a 200ei last night - and it was noticeably different in weight and balance to my 162ei.

Although at first glance the pistol shows its strong Morini heritage, but immediately it is picked-up it feels like a totally different air pistol - very much lighter in weight and with a very different balance.

The air cylinder is shorter because the barrel is shorter, and the use of carbon fibre has contributed to the weight saving.

Apparently the electronic trigger is derived from the current Morini Free Pistol and does feel different to the 162ei electronic trigger - maybe faster and more precise as you suggest.

The sights have been given the same "sight radius" as the 162ei by extending it over the rear of the grip (like on the short 162ei).

I was able to shoot the 200ei pistol for 3 hours last night and I only briefly shot my 162ei Titan now and again by way of a direct comparison, so it was a really informative evening that enabled me to find out for myself just how different this new Morini match pistol is from any of its predecessors.

Stay safe,

Bob.
