Umarex AirJavelin Air Archery CO2 Rifle

Light weight, good ergonomics, simple manual of arms.

Make the sliding cover more sturdy and add a pic rail to it.

I encourage everyone to give it a try. If you like crossbows you will love it. If you like airguns you will love it.

More power than I expected, Accurate less than 2" groups at 35 yards with double 12 gram CO2 cartridges, 2 -12 gram cartridges are enough for zeroing or get 6 good shots for hunting. It has an easy trigger pull although long pull. I accidently shot through a 1"x2" pressure treated furring strip at 25 yards with a 90 gram cartridge in the Javelin. great value

stock rear and front sight

I bought a UTG Red Dot sight and made it very accurate easy to get on target. the 90 gram cartridges shoot arrows a lot harder and faster than the 12 gram ones so you need to re zero your sight. Its a little loud. I prefer 12 gram cartridges for raccoons and squirrels.

Extremely accurate and hard hitting Great fun Highly recommend Set it up with a decent scope and a green laser You can't go wrong with this *****

Would be great if you could get a sling for it

Easy to shoot and handle

Needs places to put sling

I love this so much I bought another one

Texture soft grips

Fantastic unit

I've had mine several months now, It is fantastic, aside from some initial reservations due to it being mostly plastic, I quickly found out that plastic doesn't mean cheap, and these seem to be firearm grade plastics. I'm glad I ordered extra arrows, I've ruined two, as at 25 yards this weapon is accurate enough to do "Robin Hood's" (shooting an arrow up the previous arrow's shaft) The blood bug broadheads are wicked, and 75 grain bodkins work as well. IK would not hesitate to use this on game as large as deer, at reasonable distances I gave it 5 stars for accuracy, only because that was the most I could give it , I would actually rate it 6 stars if that were possible. This thing has some tactical value as well. And tri bladed bodkins9 cut on contact

Figure out how to make a magazine fed semi auto version

order plenty of arrows

I liked it my kids and I enjoy shooting it excellent for the price, i will highly recommend it to my friends.

I can't say enough good about this product. I've bought 2 now.

Nothing

As I have purchased multiple Umarex products in the past year I have noticed that they use a broad range of polymers (plastics) when manufacturing their air rifles. For their Glock licensed products, they use a really high quality polymer similar to those used by the manufacturer. For their SteelStorm, they use one of their lower quality polymers. Luckily, for the AirJavelin, they chose one of their better one's. It's not as hard, brittle or glossy as their cheaper plastics, while retaining a similar look and feel (albeit in gray) of their Glock polymers. I know this may sound petty, but as a designer, how something feels, the level of manufacturing tolerances (how the parts fit together), are important when conveying quality and durability to the end user. That being said, the Umarex AirJavelin is a blast to use. An Umarex AirJavelin Pro, with an all metal lower and upgradable accessories would be fantastic.

- Provide a dual 12g co2 adapter like the Umarex Fusion 2 - Make it a true "modular" platform with the ability to upgrade stocks, grips and triggers

Definitely use on a "soft" target. Since the bolts are proprietary, replacement isn't as easy as replacing standard crossbow bolts or compound bow arrows.

Wow, what a fun addition to my odd collection. Easy to use, Co2 lasts pretty good. Adjustable for length of pull and for left or right hand shooters.

I would like to have an option to use 12g Co2 for when you just want to shoot a few shots.

The 88g Co2 bottles are nice, but the cost can add up fast.
Keep in mind, this is not a BB gun and will need a significant back stop.
Find some thing like a straw bale to aim at, it will save most of your arrows / bolts also.
