UMAREX EBOS Tactical Full Auto BB Machine Gun

Just in case of a zombie squirrel attack – I have taken steps to prepare to protect my family. Introducing the UMAREX EBOS fully automatic BB machine gun.

The EBOS (which stands for Electronic Burst of Steel) is just plain fun! Running at a cost of a little over $100  through Amazon - this airgun provides a lot of fun and a decent amount of protection against zombie squirrels for the money.

Here are some specifications:

• Built-in 24 round magazine
• 1, 4, or 8-shot burst
• Powered by 88g CO2 Tank
• Powered by 6 AA batteries
• High velocity – 540 fps

The UMAREX is powered by an 88-gram CO2 cartridge. The 88-gram cartridge is not the typical smaller CO2 cartridge which is normally thought of when it comes to air guns. This cartridge can power the EBOS for more than 300 shots.

Below is a short video of me shooting semi-auto from 30 feet – click to watch in Quicktime Video

This is a simple to use and really neat air gun to shoot. In firing over 400 shots so far – I have had no problems at all. I have had a few observations:

• Accurate – the sight radius is very short – however I had no problem shooting accurately at 30 feet. I plan an addition of a red dot sight which I believe will not only increase accuracy –  but the ease of target acquisition. I am going to have to use a riser on the picatinny rail in order for the red dot to clear the BB reservoir.
• Fire rate and performance – The cyclic rate is adjustable for good reason. If firing a fast cyclic rate in 8 shot burst or 4 shot burst over and over again – the CO2 will get cold and velocity will decrease. This can be very noticeable. I had good luck shooting single shot as well as 4 shot burst set at 400 or 500 rpm. As long as a second or two are allowed between bursts – the gun does very well.
• Velocity – Velocity is decent – it is what it is. 540 fps is not going to bag you a large rabbit – that is not what it is for. For fun and target shooting – simply awesome.
• Build- The gun feels fairly durable – although I would not want to drop it on concrete or get it wet. Electronics are involved – so water certainly would not be compatible.

Highly recommended.

Take care all -
