Umarex Steel Storm Reviews

Six round burst is awesome! This will make short work of your daddy's empty beer can collection!

It's hard to believe that this thing is the same price in 2025 as it was when I purchased my first one back in 2012. This is my third one. It's an awesome gun, especially when you consider that inflation hasn't hit very particular products, AT ALL. There's a head scratcher for you to ponder.

This gun is half the price of other co2 machine guns and it's twice as reliable. It's an awesome way to use up CO2 and help fight climate change.

I think this little guy is a kick in the #@$ to shoot.

I wouldn't change anything it does exactly what it's supposed to do.

These automatic BB guns are very expensive to use. They eat up the CO2 very fast. If you shoot it for an hour expect to use a whole box of cartridges. Although you will have a blast shooting it, we sure do.

6 shot burst is pretty cool ..can’t beat the price Thing I like the most is the reservoir on it that allows the store 300 or so bbs so when reloading the lil magazine is much easier

Larger magazine capacity

For the price this was the best choice in my opinion of coarse I had one of the AR15s and it was awesome but on full auto the mag lasts maybe half a second then have to take it off and reload and kinda kills the fun this has the reservoir so only have to shake it a bit and it’ magazine is reloaded

Accuracy

Less plastic looks

No

I love almost everything about this gun.... First time you shoot on full auto... Youll get it!! Its a scream, it Really is awsome...its just so hard to wsit a bit,if it starts freezin up...just have to be patient, as with anything using compress CO2... BURBS... Thats how ya best fire.. While in the gunpowder world, you burp to let barrel cool.. In air guns, to let it thaw! Buy this Baby... Youll love it!

It needs a stronger spring that keeps pressure on the BB'S, or some method of retention, that keeps the spring straight through whole firing of all the ammo.. Till then... Handle cocking GENTLY... Mine got of kilter, I took lt apart, fixed it as well as I could, but spring got kinda hent out of shape, and after that.. Just kept binding up, not feeding, but getting BBs wedged un... So if you just be gentle, it wont happen at all!, its a great, fun gun!!

Just keep it oiled, and ABOVE ALL.. Be GENTLE with cocking lever/spring! AndENJOY!!!!

Fun to shoot

The bolt is made of cast aluminum after about 2000 bbs the bolt cracked the gun was useless made very lot of thin plastic i wouldnt recommend this one

Capacity and 6-rd burst.

Availability of spare magazines

The steel storm is a bit on the "plasticky" side, but hear me out. This bb-spitting beast is beyond fun! I added a tac light/laser combo to the bottom rail and was shocked with the accuracy. I use mine in 6-rd mode mode to destroy beer bottles and cans and I can't get enough. The two CO2 cartridges are just enough to empty the large bb reservoir on a warm day. On single-shot mode, I can bounce around bottle caps and shoot pest locusts no problem. At a moderate range, this gun is worthy of an optic or laser. I've really enjoyed mine so far.

The gun is a lot of fun. I think it was a good value.

The loading door under the front sight comes open easily and your BBs fall out when you set the gun down. It needs a latch or detent to keep it closed. I fixed it with a rubber band. No big deal. But without something to hold the loading port closed you will loose lots of BBs.

It's a great value and a lot of fun. It shoots hard and is accurate enough to plink with out to 15 yards.

It does not go through gas as fast as I expected. 2 cylinders will shoot 300 shots.

When the gas gets low it fires six round bursts. You know when you are running out of gas when you are on semi auto and it fires six rounds each pull.

Pretty accurate for a smooth bore. Quick and easy to refill bbs. Came with nice green dot scope. One of my favorite guns.

All plastic. Would be nice for it to be metal. This is my second one. Reservoir spring bent on the first one. They do not offer a replacement.

Take it slow and easy when reloading the reservoir.

Had to return the item.

Had to return the item because it would only shoot bursts no single shot. BBs very difficult to fill the 30 round feed.

Pyramid was great handling the return!

The 6 shot burst is pretty cool, it's also pretty accurate, I was actually surprised by the true grouping of the 6 shots.

The feed mag is too small, 6 shot or "full auto" rips through the internal mag too fast, limited shots equal limited enjoyment, it has a 300 (give or take) shot hold internally why not make it "hopper fed" out of the hold instead of filling the internal limited shot mag.? The bbs. Are already in the gun... also I thought the "steal storm" would have a little more steal in the storm lol it feels kinda brittle, also with 2 co2's in it I would figure it would have more fps,

It's an accurate 6 shot-burst or single shot, and is a very fun air rifle, crazzzy how much a plinker can make you smile...though it is not full auto the 6 shots come out very fast...

This thing is fun. Seriously fun. The 6 round burst is awesome. I am VERY impressed with the fact that I get 300 shots from 2X CO2 cartridges.

I wish it loaded the firing magazine better. The shaking to get it loaded up is a bit unusual.

This is a BB gun, so don't expect any kind of accuracy past 15 yards. It is just fun to shoot at random stuff. The velocity is relatively high so be careful of ricochets when firing at solid targets. Everyone who shoots this will have a smile on their face.

You can't really have more fun than this. I bought two of these and converted them to full auto and put a green laser on one and a red laser on the other. MERRY CHRISTMAS! BAMMMMO 60 ROUNDS AT LIKE 425FPS BEFORE YOU CAN BLINK if you don't smile you are probably a lizard clone. Wickedly accurate in single fire mode too. You can just sit there and shoot until the can is fragments

double size clip with 4 CO2 cartridges and maybe some kind of heating element or insulation to keep the cartridges from freezing up during bursts (now i'm getting crazy)

Always Wear Safety Glasses, if you go full auto you are eventually gonna have some fliers ricochet!!!!

these are near me at all times

Works as exprected , little extra fun with 5 rounds at a time.

Seems fine as is.

Good pop for price.

Talking about fun, I haven't had this much fun with a BB gun since my very first BB gun the Red Rider.

It would have been really cool to have more metal parts, not for it to be more durable but better looking.

They seem to be very accurate right out of the box, so add what every accessories you want and just zero them to the hard open sights and your right on target.

Burst shooting

Spare magazine would be nice

Safety switch is extremely difficult to move

Nothing. Brick of plastic junk

Everything.

Spend a little more and get the mini uzi

Authentic appearance

More metal; less plastic.

Easy loading, good accuracy

Put a bump on the magazine filler so it will stay shut and you dont lose bbs

Very nice gun for plinking

Easy to load and use, it has worked flawlessly since day one. Much, much more accurate than my other two pistols that i have that are the same type. And the big thing is that everyone in my family after shooting it has a big smile on their face and nothing but positive comments.

Absolutely nothing..

I have been using light oil with just a dab on the end of each powerlet and have not had any problems..
