Might just be worth mentioning always add a couple of drops of Pellgunoil to the tip of the Co2 canister to keep the seals plump and prevent them from drying out... awesome review and very nicely done sir!
Ideally, you want a rifle that produces a minimum of 12 ft/lbs (16 joules) of energy. This rifle only produced 8 ft/lbs when tested. Good for target shooting and plinking, but there are better options for hunting.
You cannot buy spare magazines for this rifle no matter which caliber. Umarex quit making them and they do not plan on making any more ever. I called them and this is what they said. Kind of makes having an 88 gram CO2 cartridge useless!
Thoroughly enjoyable and informative rifle review. Well done Ed.
Nice change of pace on this one. Lots of detail just how I like it. Keep it up.

Heyup chap, definitely in the TOO MUCH FUN category, great info buddy, cheers, Jon 👍Hawkes eye TV 👍😁
the umarex empire kit is also available in .22
Would this be powerful enough to deal with rabbits or would it be better to go with a breakneck rifle

88gram co2?
sid that.
That's gonna get expensive
I think I read that there is a 12 gram adapter available that will fit this rifle. Check this out and see if I read correctly.
Co2 are just too finicky they always end up going wrong
