    Good Points: Looks superb
    Sexy blowback action


    Bad Points: Too much plastic used


    General comments: A superb weapon by looks alone, although it does appear to be cheaply made. I know Umarex is renowned for their superb build quality, but this.....well.....it just doesn't feel right.

    For starters it feels too 'light' for a deagle, and I cant stand the idea of the integrated rail on the top of the slide (the bottom one is removable) it looks ugly. If you have any other pistol which is manufactured by Umarex (I have a 92F) and compare it to the deagle, you will see the difference in quality.

    A big let down is that it is made almost completely out of plastic (ABS to be precise), I was at least expecting a little more metal for a gun that costs £150.

    Well, its not all bad though, as the size will impress you. It also physically looks the biz and handles very well.

    Of course, the best feature about the deagle is the blowback action. There is a clean, crisp and powerful recoil which will put a massive grin across your face.

    I have to point out that I am quite disappointed on how much the slide retains, for me it does not come back enough (unlike the gas blowback airsoft versions), however, I can understand why.

    It comes with the usual, the pistol itself, a 8 shot magazine, removable picatinny rail, and a CO2 screw tool and last but not least the user manual.

    You will definitely need to get a case though, as it comes in a cardboard box.

    I've tested it with a number of different .177 pellets; the best results come from the 'Logun Penetrator' and 'JSB Predator' pellets.

    Once you pick up this weapon and fire the first few shots, you will not want to put it down, it's that good.

    Well that's all I suppose, overall I would rate it 7/10.

    If you're like me and have an extensive collection of airguns, this is a must for any collection.
