Customer Reviews for Umarex Brodax CO2 Steel BB Revolver

Brand: Umarex Canada

Type: BB Revolver
Manufacturer: Umarex
Model: Brodax
Materials: Mostly plastic with some metal construction
Weight: 586 g (1.3 pounds)
Barrel: 5.5 inches, non-rifled
Power Source: 12 gram CO2 x 1
Action: Revolver, single and double action
Ammo Type: 4.5mm steel BBs
Ammo Capacity: 10 rounds
FPS: 375

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Brodax CO2 BB Revolver is actually rather nice. If you decide to cock the hammer back and shoot it single action style then you get a little bit of that SAA Revolver like ratcheting sound. The trigger pull in single action mode is short with virtually no take-up and on the light side. Double action shooting with the Umarex Brodax CO2 BB Revolver is not overly long or heavy either so action shooting is totally possible with this BB shooting CO2 revolver.

Accuracy: I can not comment so far on the shooting performance for the Umarex Brodax CO2 BB Revolver since I have not shot it yet. The weather is getting nicer outside so that should happen pretty soon. The claimed FPS for the Umarex Brodax CO2 BB Revolver is stated at only 375 which I find seems a bit low for a non-blowback fairly straight forward BB pistol with an almost 6 inch barrel so hopefully my testing shows performance up into the 400's which I am hoping for. The open sights are non-adjustable but there are tons more options by taking advantage of the two rails top and bottom for adding either a red dot or laser to increased target shooting ability.

Build Quality: The Umarex Brodax CO2 BB Revolver is pretty much an all metal pistol with the outer shell being made up of plastic, there is a fair bit of internal metal going on along with the trigger, hammer and of course the inner barrel made out of metal parts. Mechanically the Umarex Brodax CO2 BB Revolver feels solid and even though it only weighs in at 1.3 pounds it feels much heavier in the hand.

Realism: The Umarex Brodax CO2 BB Revolver as far as I know is not an exact replica of any real steel gun currently in production. It's basically a spin off of an ultra tactical .44 magnum revolver with a super beefed up front barrel assembly sporting all kinds of accessory options to be placed on the top and bottom rails. I like that Umarex made sure to recess the barrel opening so it has a more realistic barrel size. Like many new CO2 airguns coming out these days the CO2 is not only well hidden inside the grips but a handy Allen key is built into the handle.

Pros:

  • Not the heaviest revolver on the market but it feels really nice in the hand and has good balance, the weight is not bad at all and feels heavier than 1.3 pounds
  • Trigger action is really good in both single and double action, short light single action trigger and totally usable double action trigger
  • CO2 is well hidden with built-in Allen key in the handle
  • Rails top and bottom for all kinds of accessory add-on options
  • Barrel is recessed for that larger caliber look
  • Nice and discreet safety
  • Comes with three 10-shot easy to load rotary magazines
  • Low-cost with high fun factor

Cons:
  • Grips are a bit hard to remove to get at the CO2, may work in over time?
  • All black sights are not great on dark backgrounds and are non-adjustable
  • Would have liked to see FPS into the 400 range

Comments:
The Umarex Brodax CO2 BB Revolver when I first picked it up did not appeal to me all that much, maybe knowing it was for the most part yet another mostly plastic BB revolver with those thin pop in disc magazines didn't help me take notice much. But as I have been playing around with the Umarex Brodax CO2 BB Revolver it has grown on me a lot. I think it has a really cool look that is also very usable in terms of putting just about any accessory you want on this CO2 revolver. The hammer and trigger action are also both excellent for not just an inexpensive airgun but even a higher end airgun. And right out of the box, or should I say clam-shell plastic wrap, you get three rotary disc magazines which is a nice bonus.

Cheap but great

it is the most accurate one out of the box among my 2o2 pistols. Except this i polished the front sight of all my non adjustable CO2 pistols. it is mostly quality polymer. Grips are quality rubber. Single action trigger light enough and double action trigger better than my other pistols. spare magazines are nice top. in my opinion only downside maybe, front sight and rear sight alignment a bit blurry for my eyes. That's why i used a darker blqck paint for front sight's peak point and Pink for the aim point. Also white for rear sight to make dots. Two

Outstanding

This is an outstanding revolver, it feels good in the hand, the built quality and performance surpasses others sold at a much higher price. When me and my friend tested it, I loaded it with a Co2 cartridge and prepared to shoot the three clips and figured that the Co2 would only last for about 30 shots. We were in total disbelieve when after 90 shots, it was still going strong and we ended up shooting a little more then 100 pellets without having to change the cartridge. My friend was so impressed that he immediately ordered one for himself. I have other Airguns in my collection that have cost me 6 times more then this one and this revolver is now by far my favorite.

Brodax bb rrvolver

This fine quality revolver is worth at least twice the cost. Even though it is not a specific replica, it performs as futuristic revolvers should. I highly recommend it. I have made more than 60 purchases from RAS & plan to make more.

I love it. I've bought 2

I love this BB gun. Non blow back, mostly plastic, not 100% accurate, not based on any real model gun, but...I. Love. This. Gun. It feels amazing in the hand. Solidly built, I'd say feels just as good as some other models with metal. They nailed the shape beautifully. That CO2 cartridge built inside is fine because the the grip cover fit really tightly and snaps closed with no looseness at all. The hex key is built into the removeable grip but it is totally solidly constructed. The slide to release the 10 shot rotary magazine is a clever design. This gun kind of reminds me of the gun Harrison Ford has in Bladerunner; pretty cool. This is a great sporty BB gun. Great fun for plinking.
