it is also the only gun out of the bunch that actually has a kick to it. The Steel Storm again wins this category as it has the best feel to it when shooting. out of the box the Steel Storm is by far the winner here, followed by the Drozd, and then the EBOS which resembles the Browning. The EBOS is supposed to be a very close second according to the paper numbers, but I personally found that the Drozd has noticeably better penetration into soft wood.ħ. I initially had to do some tuning on it, but once done that thing packs a considerable wallop.

I have heard a few complaints about the Steel Storm, but thus far I have not experienced even a hiccup with mine.Ħ. I would say that the Drozd is the best of the bunch, but it is also the most expensive. Be prepared to get either a laser or some kind of red dot/reflex sight if you go this route.ĥ. The only caveat here is that the Steel Storm comes with molded in plastic sights which may or may not be accurate. Obviously not on par with a dedicated target gun, but for plinking, fun, and general pest control are more than satisfactory. Accuracy wise, all of these guns are capable of a high degree of accuracy. Obviously someone who is trigger happy (not hard at all with these guns! LOL!) will want to seriously consider doing the conversion to a tank.Ĥ. As such I installed an adapter for a CO2 tank. The EBOS uses the large CO2 carts, which are expensive and hard to find in this area. The Steel Storm uses two cartridges at once, and are good for about 200 shots. The CO2 carts on the Drozd are good for about 75 shots, give or take. Now the suppressors on airguns like the GAMO Whisper are OK as they are not detachable.ģ. In a nutshell the basic gotcha is that the ATF may see a DETACHABLE airgun suppressor as something that could be used on an actual firearm, and that is where they could choose to hang you out to dry if caught. I am aware of the silencer issue, and from the commentary I have read and what research I have done, it does indeed appear to be a grey area. As far as state and local laws, it would be wise to check.Ģ. These kinds of guns are readily available over the counter without any special fees, paperwork, or other red tape to deal with. There are no Federal regulations regarding a full-auto air gun since they are not firearms. Think I have a hobby? LOL! Anyway, I'll hit the points brought up in the thread.ġ. Last year picked up both of the Umarex Steel Storm and the EBOS, then later on got a Drozd Bumblebee at a price I couldn't refuse.
