EKOL Aras 9mm P.A.K. Blank Gun Shooting Review

[project419]

people dont be fool i tried getting this blanks but no luck. thats why i made my own. state law will get in your way from getting nice babies. thats why i had to make my own blank weapon. each i try to get one its a run around. but u can try buying but make sure u get the right one

[youresucker1]

You are talking louder than the gunshots...

[switchingtomac]

@youresucker1 The microphone on the camera tries to keep the sound level all the time and so really loud sounds will sound about the same loud as softer sounds. It's called audio compression. I am also talking right into the camera Mic and I am wearing ear plugs when I shoot these guns.

[MrFisherRulez]

@switchingtomac can u purchase a surpressor attatchment for replica guns. I make independent films and i would love to have one

[switchingtomac]

@MrFisherRulez If they ahem a threaded barrel then there should be a way to attach something?

[mrcrazybadaze]

So, where can you shoot these? My grandparants own 3 arces but it is still in city limits. Am i allowed to shoot these there?

[switchingtomac]

@mrcrazybadaze They are as loud as a real gun , so anywhere where you would shoot a real gun.

[AirsoftAnonymos]

@switchingtomac just wondering why r u shooting ur gun in ur house in its that loud?

[switchingtomac]

@AirsoftAnonymos I shoot them in my pool house, I live on a farm so I am not scaring anyone ;)

[AirsoftAnonymos]

@switchingtomac oh i see i was just wondering bcause that seemed kind of strange but i understand now :) thanks

[albinothereal]

In Norway, theese semi automatic blank pistols are totally legal to buy and own if you are over the age of 18. The weapon-law still counts doh....

Shootin round in the hood is NOT a popular thing 2 do :P

[switchingtomac]

@albinothereal Yes, running around with what looks like a gun and sounds like a gun in a residential area will not go over very well with the police.

[GY6vids]

COOL...that is pretty neat...looks very real!!! I like it!! swing by my channel..I think you will enjoy my shooting vids

[switchingtomac]

@GY6vids You did a great job on your interactive video!

[zilzaal1]

is it legal to own one in toronto?

[switchingtomac]

@zilzaal1 Yes legal to own but just hard to get right now as the CBSA is holding them in customs... Import laws and RCMP laws are not always the same and the way things are written can be interpreted in many ways.

[zilzaal1]

i live in toronto ontario.can i get this gun?

[switchingtomac]

@zilzaal1 I am out of blank guns right now.

[mrpieman12]

@switchingtomac hey do i need a pistol license? in Michigan

[switchingtomac]

@mrpieman12 I'm not sure of each state's laws, your best to check into this on your end.

[redso100]

Thanks

[redso100]

i might sound stupid bit i just dont understand what blank guns are.Do they shoot plastic rounds???

[switchingtomac]

@redso100 Imagine a real gun but without the lead bullet on the end of the shell, that's what a blank gun is, it can only shoot the blanks that do not a have a bullet in them.

[soulofpain9088]

@redso100 they can shoot..pyrofirework. (Bird banger)...^^

[1977523xd40]

@redso100 dude, what they fire is a full load of real gun powder & nothing comes out of the barrel except FIRE & a Real Convincing sound to hear it see my page 1977523xd40

[VDragulaV]

OK yes those guns are louder than you hear on the video. BUT I have a few of these guns and they are NOT as loud as a real 9mm. and the front firing ones are quieter than the side or top venting ones. Now I did noticed for some reaosn my 8mm is louder than my 9mm. weird. must be packing moe powder in the 8's

[switchingtomac]

@VDragulaV I think that not all blanks are the same and it may depend on what brand you have. In my experience with the blanks that I use, they seem to be close in loudness to a real gun and my 8mm blanks tend to be just a bit quitter then the 9mm. Top venting guns seem louder because the sound is directed more towards you then a front firing gun. Also a shorter barrel because it basically vents out the side of the chamber, so less muffling of the noise.

[MrArek555]

if anyone is interested in a .50 cal desert eagle 8mm replica i got it for sale $200 im in Canada as well

[0Petercool0]

i live in australia btw*

[0Petercool0]

americans are so lucky, if i possessed a blank weapon like this just to make a movie or such in an area which would not disturb or endanger others i would still go to jail charged with possession of a real firearm

[switchingtomac]

@0Petercool0 Yes, each country has their laws and if you break them you pay the price.

[deuceheavyweaponzloc]

lol cool it looks sooo real ...and what you said about the microphone is true because i have a video of me shooting a glock17 thats real and the gun was extremely loud when i shot it it made my ears ring but when i watched the video i only heard small pops

[switchingtomac]

@deuceheavyweaponzloc Yes, camera mics lie!

[JPOC226]

@switchingtomac the internal cam mike will Peak and Cut out... so you get a harsh Click noise... ( usually if the sound is 130DB or more)



[MrBratkovics]

i se green in the shells what is it or im i gust seaing thing thing?

[switchingtomac]

@MrBratkovics There is a plastic part at the front where the bullet would normally be, it seals the powder into the shell.

[pester39]

kool

[MrTuffgongrecords]

do you need hearing protection?

[switchingtomac]

@MrTuffgongrecords For sure, very loud, just like a real gun!

[buss557]

Does a condom work out as well?

[enticed2zeitgeist]

Sooo... these guns don't shoot a projectile out?

[switchingtomac]

@enticed2zeitgeist Only a flare with the flare adaptor installed.

[enticed2zeitgeist]

@switchingtomac Is that PAK ammo means?

[switchingtomac]

@enticed2zeitgeist It's German for something I think, just can't remember what it stands for?

[philboyxo]

A cap gun for grown ups

[switchingtomac]

@philboyxo Kind of...

[scarface30111]

is there recoil ?

[switchingtomac]

@scarface30111 A little bit but not as much as a real gun as there is not bullet to push against. Just like when shooting heavier grain bullets in a real gun, the heavier the grain the more recoil the gun will have.

[SuperThebullet]

@switchingtomac Now you can scare a people in night time :DDDDD

[DebitelGR]

nice one, but i was wondering, can i buy that blank gun without any particular licence and are there any age limitations for it?

[switchingtomac]

@DebitelGR I don't know what your laws are in Greece? In Canada in License is required.

[Somervilladelphia215]

I had this model, the cops took it and gave me a year of unsupervised probation.

[switchingtomac]

@Somervilladelphia215 And why did they take it?

[Somervilladelphia215]

@switchingtomac I was celebrating New Years in my friends backyard, in Montgomery County Maryland. I emptied the clip and right after that I saw the red n blue lights. I think u can figure the rest, Im glad im still alive.

[switchingtomac]

@Somervilladelphia215 I see it very clearly now ;)

[Infantrymyers]

whats the point of a blank gun? i just never understood that

[switchingtomac]

@Infantrymyers They look like guns sound like guns and work like guns. If you don't plan on shooting anyone too often then you should be just fine with a blank gun. Honestly, either you understand the reason for a blank gun or you don't . Why do people collect model cars? It's not like they are going to shrink themselves down and take it for a drive one day...

[kanea4]

What was bouncing on the floor after the last shot

[switchingtomac]

@kanea4 All the ejected shell casing bouncing and rolling around on the concrete floor.

[mikemajor360]

can u take out plug and use live ammo? heard you can

[switchingtomac]

@mikemajor360 No, everything is different on purpose.

[heat45jc]

They sound a lot louder outdoors, thanks to echoes.

[switchingtomac]

@heat45jc And my camera mic compresses the crap out of the sound.

[gangsta9949]

can i use in music video

[switchingtomac]

@gangsta9949 Sure, why not. Just don't point it at someone and shoot it at them, especially close up.

[pitbull504h]

if I buy a gun you have sent to Honduras?

[switchingtomac]

@pitbull504h We only ship within North America!

[switchingtomac]

@pitbull504h Sorry, not sure I understand what you mean?

[NewLineProductionz]

arent blanks banned in canada?

[switchingtomac]

@NewLineProductionz As long as they come with flare adaptors and the frames themselves are not from a real gun then they are legal.

[NewLineProductionz]

@switchingtomac oh ok thank you. and im just wondering where i would be able to fire this, because i could imagine that my neighbors would call the cops on me.

[switchingtomac]

@NewLineProductionz That is the biggest problem, where to shot them. Out in the bush or a farm or the basement of a house with good sound insulation.

[NewLineProductionz]

@switchingtomac i see aha, thanks for the info :)

[blingblingjon34]

@switchingtomac ya i agree i shoot my ekol volga in my basement whic h i tought was sound proof and my neigbor tought i shot my family lol

[julz1456]

i have the magnum and it jammed because if u dont put the ammunition in all the way to the back it gets stuck. it was weird lol

[superduperfudge]

Do you ship to NYC? i got some from another website the dont have this one thoe and is it loud as a real 9mm gun???

[switchingtomac]

@superduperfudge I don't have this model for sale as of right now. It does sound as loud as a real 9mm, we do ship to the US.

[bangzilla]

cool



[rougecards]

Would you sell blank guns, or airguns to minors if they have consent from their parents?

[switchingtomac]

@rougecards Just get your parents to buy them for you.

[rougecards]

@switchingtomac Right.

[zampo28]

Those slow-motion tapes are nice!!

[jakeanddar]

NIce looking gun! Wonder if it would scare away a coyote if you happened to run into one! You wouldn't need a PAL to own one of these guns would you?

[switchingtomac]

@jakeanddar It probably would scare away a coyote, it doesn't take much, I shine a really bright light at them in my backyard and they usually take off. You don't need a PAL for any of the Blank Guns I sell as they are considered non-guns, actually flare guns because they come with the flare adaptors.

[ewtoutdoors]

Nice review, very cool replica. Take care and have a great day.

[switchingtomac]

@ewtoutdoors Thanks!

[daneage23]

is it not illegal to shoot blank guns off in the house?

just curioous b/c i wanna shot mine off in my house but im afraid the cops will be called!!! and i cant find any blank guns rules and laws online, all find is real handgun rules!

[switchingtomac]

@daneage23 If you make a noise that sounds like a gun going off and you have neighbors that will hear it then the cops WILL be called and your blank gun will be taken away from you for making a disturbance or at the very least you will get reprimanded and warned.

[ledzeppelinrools]

@switchingtomac so then how do you shoot in your house?

[switchingtomac]

@ledzeppelinrools I live on a farm and I shot in my pool ouse just to keep the noise down outside.

[ledzeppelinrools]

@switchingtomac ahhh haha im too poor to afford a pool house lol

[switchingtomac]

@ledzeppelinrools Me too, it came with the house and it ain't much to speak of

[ledzeppelinrools]

@switchingtomac hahaha well living in ultra gun hostile California, i'd probably get tackled and thrown in jail if i were caught shooting one of these in my home

[switchingtomac]

@ledzeppelinrools Here in Canada it would be true for most people shooting a blank gun in a residential neighborhood too!

[ledzeppelinrools]

@switchingtomac thats a shame...maybe one day both governments will open their eyes

[vrakamana]

replika airguns can send worlwide?where i can find flares?pls answer

[switchingtomac]

@vrakamana You need to know your local area gun and non-gun laws and what you are allowed to have in you area. We can send but we are not responsible for confiscated items. Just like when I order form the US as I live in Canada.

[vrakamana]

@switchingtomac and what about flares where i can buy them?

[switchingtomac]

@vrakamana We aslo sell them in our Replica Airguns Store in the Accessories - Blank Guns section.

[mwmwmwmwmmdw]

i have 2 questions

1. i was going to shoot my ekol tuna and i was just wondering how many feet i should have of open space so i don't burn anything when i fire it?

2. could you do a video of you shooting a flare with these guns?

[switchingtomac]

@mwmwmwmwmmdw I would make sure there is at least 3 feet of open space in front of you and I do plan on doing a flare video one of these days.

[switchingtomac]

@PostApocalypseFilms Thanks :)

[SentientWolf]

The way how the shells spin as they were ejected from the chamber was really cool and unique.

[switchingtomac]

@SentientWolf I got hit in the face by a few of them as I was standing just behind and to the right of the gun so I could watch the camera LCD. Not a big deal as I wear eye and ear protection.

[SentientWolf]

@switchingtomac

Oh dang. I heard the spent shells were actually searing hot when they first exited the chamber. Is that true?

[switchingtomac]

@SentientWolf I would not want to hold them right after shooting, but they aren't hot enough to burn just by simply bouncing off the skin, they do hurt if they hit you in a boney area like the forehead or bridge of the nose :)

[TDF090779]

that looked so AWESOME at 420 frames per second

[switchingtomac]

@TDF090779 Slow-mo cameras are the best!, just need lots of light...

[igotnonumbers]

Are you left handed, or are you just shooting left handed so the camera get a better shot at the gun?

[switchingtomac]

@igotnonumbers Just for the camera, accuracy with blank guns is not essential :)

[Ianmulti]

1st and kool

[switchingtomac]

@Ianmulti Awe, I wanted to be first again...
