Craig, I think those courses are only available in the first version M-Range 1, check with Laser Ammo direct if M-Range 1 is still available to owner of the latest M-Range 2. Hope this helps

Thank you for your reply @@virtuascore

Not steel, but it is metal. I installed genuine wood grips on mine and they fit after some gentle sanding to a few areas of the inside of the grips. Not sure how genuine plastic grips would fit. Hope this helps.

@markveganism5003 I was referring to the action the pistol supports, eg Single Action is when the pistol is racked to set the hammer or striker and then the trigger is pulled and the gas system resets the trigger in a 'Single Action' Double action is when the trigger pull operates the hammer and fires the pistol in the same sequence (eg without any Co2 gas to operate the re-cocking of the pistol after firing) eg in a Double Action mode. You can Google the difference between Single and Double action for a better explanation than above

@@virtuascore understood cheers 🍻

@nickbuxton8406 is a form of target shooting where an IR or other laser is used to engage a target projected on to a screen so the POI is recorded by a camera able to detect the laser POI and mark the target accordingly. Checkout Laser Ammo - Smokeless Range online for more information on how their systems work

Safety doesn't function because of defect. It will decock but ironically it will still fire when decocking. You must decock using your left hand though because of a bad internal part.. my slide catch always works, maybe yours has a broken slide catch spring or maybe your mag has a broken follower piece

@martymeatball4615 nice one, glad the video was of help 👍

@richardpendley3454 I am sorry to hear the problems you are having with the M92A1 decocker. I have not done any videos on disassembling that part of the pistol as its very complicated and I have heard others getting into a mess trying to fix issues with the trigger assembly sections. All I can offer is a link to a parts diagram I used that can perhaps help you identify the part that broke on your pistol, perhaps someone here has experience of fixing the issue you mentioned, and could offer help? Here is a link the parts diagram I mentioned - spares.bagnallandkirkwood.co.uk/umarex-beretta-m92-a1/ hopefully this is of help, good luck with your repair.

@Clyde Cash, thanks I am glad it helped

Sounds like the BB stop follower in the magazine is not operating correctly. Check if the empty magazine has a plastic follower, this should protrude from the magazine when empty and this causes the slide to lock-back on last shot.

@Wade Brisebois Not to the extent I have heard others mention that they have experienced. If I remove the mag it rattles more if shaken. I have seen YT videos of the Gen 5 having this problem more so than the Gen 4 Glock 17

@@virtuascore all right was just wondering because that’s what mine does. Obviously there’s a little bit of a rattle when you put the magazine in, but it’s not terrible compared to others what’s good to know that it’s kind of a common thing

@@wadebrisebois Yeah I think its quite common, more so on the other generations of the Glock 17, my inner barrel is also heavily scratched from use, but I am not bothered too much as I like the guns to look used as they are used, not just on display.

@@virtuascore I get what you mean I won’t like to know that it’s a common thing on the Gen 4 the little rattle

@Mario Krug I have had a number of requests for this. I will look to doing this at some point. So watch out for a new video covering the M9A3 teardown and assembly.

I sah Thank you to you. Greetings from Germany.

@Bryan Lizarzaburo I have the same issue on my M9A3 and suspect the trigger return spring has broken. I had this exact issue with the Umarex M9A1 too and have a video up on that repair. The M9A3 is similar but not identical. I will post a video of the M9A3 repair once I can obtain a replacement parts needed, this is proving more challenging than the actual fix right now!

@benjiebarker no editing trickery here, i have heard others mention a delay for shots to register too. One thing to check for the Smokeless Range camera setup is to use a fast USB port 3.0 if possible with a fast-ish spec PC and try not to extend the USB cable if you are as this can also case a delay in hit registry. Hope this helps.

@Jay's 2014 Camaro Hope you get your copy of the Smokeless Range and Tactical Targets simulator soon, I am sure you will enjoy using the system. Just a note on your question of the shooter in the left-hand corner, that is what I add to the RUclips videos of me running my shooting simulator sessions and NOT part of the Smokeless Range. You can capture the same effect yourself with another camera and video editing software to splice this together with video of the projected image from the Smokeless Range. Hope this helps explain what you see in this video.

@@virtuascore Thanks for the reply

@catalin chelsoi I purchased mine from the Laser Ammo European website www.laserammo.eu/flashbolt-laser-bolt-wespe hope this helps

@Joe If you have this exact Umarex make and model the slide should come off if the cam is rotated correctly, sometimes as you can see in this video it was not initially moving for me either, but when I pressed the slide lock catch a little and pulled the slide it then allowed me to remove it. Also ensure you remove the magazine in case this too causes an issue. Hope this helps.

@@virtuascore Ahhh removing the mag seemed to have helped. However it still gets stuck after moving forward just a bit. I'm able to see some of the spring but even jiggling the slide and the slide lock won't get it fully off.

@@Joe-vz1ck The other thing i recall is if the pistol trigger is in a ready to fire state. Check if the trigger has been pulled, remembering to check its safe to do so first and the try to remove the slide.

@@virtuascore i made sure to keep it in the neutral position like in the video. i wonder if it has something to do with my mag not ejecting smoothly. it pops out slightly when ejected but doesnt slide out smoothly like it used to

@@Joe-vz1ck Check if anything looks broken off on the magazine that perhaps is stuck inside. The other thing to check is if you have a BB lodged in the pistol, not an easy check i know if you cannot remove the slide. The other option is put it back together with the mag in and rack the slide a few times to see it anything dislodges and try to disassemble the slide again

@Richard Storm Great question, I think in my case it could be due to the way i use these pistols, I do a lot of dry-firing both with and without Co2 the latter being double-action shots. I am not sure if that level of trigger spring use is a direct cause, but it might be for my use case. Not sure either if the spring steel is of a high quality on these Umarex pistols based on their perceived usage, as some of these replica pistols are simply bought for collections or have very limited use

@Jay West unfortunately not at this time, I say that because the new M-Range 2.0 simulator from Laser Ammo does have this option if I recall correctly, hopefully this finds its way into the IPSC simulator too. I have built a couple of basic shooting simulators for my website which work with the Laser Ammo - Smokeless Range 2.0 system, take a look if you’re interested they support practice sessions and online match scores with AAR report, POI markers and scores, plus an image capture of each shooting session for review. You can access them here www.virtuascore.com/simulators they run in any supported browser in a windows PC only but are free to use once you register an account. Hope this has been helpful.

@Paul's Tool Review thanks for watching the video, I appreciate your feedback. You may of picked up from my channel that i only use these air pistols for laser target shooting on virtual simulators, no BB's fired. However I have seen videos and heard other owners of this Umarex Bereta air pistol having the common issue of POI being low and right as you have described. I will take a look at the barrel assembly and report back with a video of what I discover. I know the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 has two distinct parts to the barrel assembly, but never examined the Beretta replica. Thanks for bring this to my attention and thanks again for your feedback.

No problem, it was helpful to me too, as i discovered the 'Copy' feature in M-Range 2.0. Enjoy your new custom courses 👍

@Teski_Bakar Glad to know this video was of help. I hope you get your pistol fixed soon!

@Ralph B I am pretty sure you can setup a course of fire as you described, however I will fire up the M-Range 2 simulator I have and confirm this for you, when I get a chance. I would post a video however my camera has decided to give-up and I have been waiting to be in a position to replace it with something better. Let me check the M-Range 2 and report back, just to confirm it is the new M-Range 2 simulator you're referring to and not the old version?

@@virtuascore Yes sir, it is the new version the m range 2.0. thank you so much for your willingness to assist me with this. It's much appreciated 👍

@Ralph B Checkout the latest video ruclips.net/video/_7PPrgfKF38/видео.html hope this helps with your question on setting up targets from far to near within the M-Range 2.0 simulator, raises some interesting points on functionality for Laser Ammo to port over from the old M-Range to the latest 2.0 version.

@YilZombie12 I have seen videos of that issue, not something i have experienced myself. Have you tried to disassemble the pistol to see if it can be fixed?

@JohnK Yep went from the basic package with camera included (short-throw version) and it was during Covid lockdown as I could not get any on range time at my local club, and I became an instant fan of the simulator target shooting and started to acquire the add-ons simulators. My favourites are the ones that have decent score capture capabilities like the IPSC and Steel Challenge, as you might of seen I have a setup online to capture scores from certain Smokeless Range 2.0 simulators and I have started to build my own (basic simulators) checkout www.virtuascore.com it's a new concept that I built to allow score capture for practice sessions and informal match scores recorded daily against other simulator shooters for a bit of fun and friendly competitive scoring leader boards. Happy trigger time 👍

@Ned Kelly Great observations and thanks for taking the time to comment. I initially developed the system as a way to understand how these systems work such as the Laser Ammo products which I purchased. The goal was to build a system comprising of both the actual laser component, vibration sensor and electronics used to detect the gas-blow-back air pistol vibration or even from the vibration of the hammer fall on a double action pistol (no gas), to the IR camera system and software used to detect the laser splashes on a projected screen. Your points regarding building a compact system to replace the removable barrel assembly is one I have been thinking about, rather than a rail attached system, especially with the benefit of the bore axis alignment and zeroing of the laser. Again you are spot on with the vibration being triggered by mag loads and other handling of the pistol during use, it’s a bit of a trade-off for these types of systems but one I think can be managed during use but certainly agree it’s not ideal. In respect to laser types I have recently built systems using only IR lasers in both near infrared 780nm and full IR 850nm and have good success testing to date with both types. I agree these are far better than visible lasers and like you explained is counterproductive to good shooting habits where a shooter will use the visible laser splashes to adjust subsequent shots. My initial aim was to develop a prototype as a proof of concept to lower the cost of home ownership to those who would like to own a laser target system but find current marketed solutions too costly when aimed at police and military customers with deep pockets. The idea is to provide DIY solution for end-users as close as can be accomplished with off the shelf parts, but also identify there are those not wanting to completely build their own DIY system so would look to see if a kit form could be possible or even a complete built system, just some ideas at present. Thanks again for your feedback, it’s much appreciated and I will certainly look to taking some of your advice on board in my next prototype versions as I develop the system going forward. Thanks for watching the video 👍

Had a ganders on Aliexpress for those unbranded laser bullets that look like the laser ammo stuff, and you should be able to find the firing pin activated end caps that go with them. Those end caps contain tiny little spring controlled push switches. Depending on how you approach it, you could strip it down to make the spring weaker so as to allow the sudden gas pressure to push against said end cap to initiate the laser. Benefit of that would mean almost zero false shots when reloading, releasing the slide etc. Or even a micro pressure sensor inside the breach area tuned to only activate when a certain pressure threshold is reached.

Almost forgot, I also thought I jad to use multiple grub screws to adjust windage/elevation. I soon discoverd I only needed 2. One for wind, other for ele. I have my red dot module housed inside a thin walled plastic tube and sealed, and them have a small rubber washer at the opposite end of the laser, with the washer bore hole squeezed around the tube's end. Then have that little assembly slid tightly down a larger "barrel". You can then use just 2 grub screws to aligh as rubber washer acts as a counter force to the screws. I got that idea after ripping apart one of those chinese laser aiming sights. Every part that can be removed is an easier product to operate.

I looked at Aliexpress and have yet to order any parts for evaluation from them. I have mostly sourced my laser modules from Digikey Electronics the ones I use are Quartron <1mW laser diodes. I did see a similar laser diode module that contains a spring to connect power to a coin-cell battery which is a nice compact style but these are affected by this semiconductor shortage at present so I am yet to get my hands on these. I did consider the gas pressure of the blow-back air pistols operation as a possible way to trigger a device, it does seem a viable solution. My only issue with these air pistols either using Co2 capsules or Green gas as a propellant is the lack of shots per fill. I much prefer pistols with double-action operation and rely on the vibration of the hammer fall to trigger the device, that way I get unlimited shots. However I realise the issue of accuracy of shooting that style over single-action operation and it’s not for everyone, but I find it better for my shooting sessions and I do not need to worry about gas supplies, however I do still use gas blow back on my striker-fired Glock 17 Gen 4 and my Colt single action pistols. Nice approach on the elevation and windage adjustments, I have a cruder setup of two windage grub screws for manual adjustment and a single elevation grub screw in the 6 o’clock position with an opposing spring to provide tension and adjustment from 12 o’clock position. I am also relying on my software to provide an additional laser zero process. How this works is once you have a mechanical zero you are happy with you can shoot three shots (POA) at a projected simulator target bullseye and the software adjusts the hits to the target bullseye (POA) from their actual POI of the laser hits. This allows the shooter to obtain the best possible zero before engaging the simulator targets. Sounds like you have a great system for your needs, I am no electrical or mechanical engineer more of a garage tinkerer but I do like building these systems and enjoy the challenges you face when doing so. I have recently had my first printed circuit boards produced to move away from my DIY circuit board constructions and it’s great to see these more professional etched boards developed and become a reality, just working on a SMD circuit design to replace the DIP package IC I started with, so that should afford me more space to shrink down my design and look at other design approaches. Its great hearing from someone else who has an interest in the home laser target shooting setups, keep up the great work.

On the 3 shot POI, how will your system differentiate between someone shooting straight ie upright and directly forwards, as opposed to someone shooting from around an obstacle such as a chair etc? Shooting from around obstacles always results in the weapon being slanted either to the left or the right. I can't see how the 3 shot POI can recognise that.
