However, for our shooting tests, the HAM Team installed an old, but trusty Leapers UTG True Hunter 3-9 x 40AO scope and rings. Combined with substantial rings, this stood up well to the recoil of the Umarex Emerge. This is the sort of minor issue that can cause issues when new. However the owner would soon compensate naturally when loading the magazine. We did! From Latin “qua libra” (what is the weight?). Early cannoneers used this term to refer to cannonball weight. In rifles, revolvers and pistols a distinction is made between the land diameter, groove diameter projectile diameter. Projectile diameters are measured in mm (7.63 mm, 9 mm) or in hundredths of an inch (for example, .22). Because almost all projectiles are below one inch, the leading Zero is left out, so it’s .22 instead of 0,22 Inch. One thing that may be worth noting is that that the rear of that rear sight leaf is VERY close to the front of the magazine assembly!

Once identified, this issue was easily corrected by deliberately mis-aligning the markers when re-attaching the face plate, as the photograph below shows. A device that reduces the sound of a muzzle blast. Depending on the design, it diverts expanding gas or routes the noise into several chambers.

Also called muzzle velocity. This is the velocity of a projectile when it leaves the muzzle, or just afterwards. The number after the v stands for the distance in meters between the measuring instrument and the muzzle. Thus v 0 is a position right at the end of the barrel. In practice, v 1 is usually measured. Next up is the cheekpiece, and it’s nice to see that Umarex has included an additional raised cheekpiece that simply clips on and off. This is for those who want to use the rifle with the supplied scope. In essence, leave it off when using the open sights, and clip it on when you attach the scope. This is because the Emerge is well-balanced for off-hand shooting. The HAM Team found that it shoots well using the “Artillery hold”, with a minimum of grip on the forend. (See the photograph below). It's important to know that due to state and local laws, there are certain restrictions for various products. A second issue noticed on test was that the gun failed to fire the first pellet from the magazine on two separate occasions. We were not able to isolate the cause of this issue. Nor to repeat it thereafter.

We will ship the goods with your completed certificate enclosedto your RFDfor collection as soon as we can, usually the same or next workingday (excluding Friday & Saturday) The first stage is easily felt, although rather long and creepy. The sear release – actually firing the gun – is somewhat indistinct and with a slightly variable quality. It requires some practice to feel confident of when the gun will actually fire. Familiarity definitely helps here! An optical system for giving a magnified view of the target. A reticle, usually mounted in a tube, is displayed in the same plane as the target, making it easier to aim over large distances and providing an aid to shooters with less-than-perfect eyesight. There are yet more goodies inside the box in the form of an Umarex K3 Neo silencer, which screws down on the 1/2”-20 UNF muzzle thread beautifully. It really does make a difference to the sound output from this rifle, and I’m glad that Umarex has included it in the kit – if you’re going to take this rifle out on the rabbits, the silencer will definitely give you an edge. Umarex has collaborated with several renowned firearm manufacturers to produce authentic replica airguns that mimic the look, feel, and functionality of their real counterparts. These collaborations have allowed Umarex to offer shooters an unparalleled shooting experience, with airguns modeled after iconic firearms.Note that Umarex USA is very unlikely to approve of this modification. So you didn’t hear about it from HAM, especially if you mess-up the adjustment! Umarex was originally founded in Germany in 1972 and grew the company by acquiring or licensing some of the most respected and recognized brands of air guns in the industry. Their North American subsidiary, Umarex USA, was established in 2006 after acquiring American marketers of more well-known brands. The company now has their own in-house brands for beginners and mid-level airsoft enthusiasts with Tactical Force and Combat Zone. Their top-level brand is Elite Force, which caters to the most demanding customers. Now, Umarex USA sells over 30 brands of air guns from entry level models to the most high powered air rifles available. The science of projectiles in free flight. It is concerned with a projectile’s motion when fired, when exiting the muzzle, when outside the barrel, when moving towards a target and at the end of its trajectory. As you can see, the Umarex Emerge has plenty of room to accept installing even a fairly long scope as this, without causing loading issues. That’s a benefit that is not shared by all breakbarrel air rifles.
