hey guys the jungle explorer here and
today I am going to be
uh breaking in this benjamin trial np
air pistol okay guys you can see here it
says 35
i bought it on clearance at Walmart a
couple of years ago i was just buying
something else i saw this was the last
one
and at the time they were selling for
around 150
so it was too good of a deal to pass up
i snatch it up and I don’t even think
they make this thing anymore um i think
it’s discontinued but you know you might
find one somewhere in a pawn shop or
on a garage sale or online and be
wondering how it performs well i’m just
gonna run it through some initial break
in i’ve never had this out of the box
i’ve never shot it once so it’s brand
spanking new even though i did buy it a
couple of years ago i’ve just had it
stored
and i found it the other day and said
you know what i’m gonna give it a try
and see how it works and maybe other
people might be interested in seeing how
this thing performs so i’m going to
start out by doing an initial testing on
it to see how it performs right out of
the box and then i’m going to do a break
in we’re going to shoot a lot of pellets
through it to kind of smooth it out a
little bit and then do a post break in
um testing on it to see if it improved
or if it’s still shooting the same so
let’s break it out of the box here and
see what this thing looks like um
again i just bought it because it was
such an
amazing deal on clearance and uh never
actually shot it before so it’s exciting
day to get this thing out of the box
here
all right
still in the plastic here
okay i’m filming outside so there’s
ambient sounds there’s going to be a jet
flying over here in a second
let’s look at it here okay
it’s heavy it’s got some it’s got some
weight to it
we’ve got a safety here
let’s see the sides
fiber optic sights on it here
um
oh let’s [ __ ] it
it cock’s pretty hard man
had to actually put it over my knee and
hit this barrel to get it to caulk so
i’ve got some crosman 7.4 green pointed
pellets here
and
there’s a tree right here just gonna
test it out for the very first shot ever
out of this gun let’s see what happens
wow
that’s not loud at all
wow that’s
that’s actually quite very quiet
shot into that tree didn’t
the trigger it’s got a long trigger you
know trigger pull on it
hopefully that’ll smooth out just a
little bit but um
i was pretty impressed i was expecting a
lot louder crack out of it and a lot
more jump it really
was quite silent there so i’m going to
go ahead and run
um some pellets over the chronograph
here and let’s see what it does
there for speed and different pellets
and weights
okay for this initial stage here i’m
going to be using four different pellets
first i’m going to use the crossman
puree pointed which is a 7.4 grain
pellet
then i’ll be using the
crosman premiere
hollow point which is a 7.9 grain pellet
then i’ll be using the js
b strattons which is
an 8.2 grain 2 6 grain pellet and
last i’ll be using the jsb diablo’s
exact which or an 8.4 front four four
grain pellets so we’re going from 7.4 to
with two different weights in between
and see how this thing performs with
these different weights initially coming
out of the box let’s see what they do
we’ll be shooting five pellets each over
the crawling so let’s see what we get
now it’s pretty difficult to caulk when
the gun is like this but it comes with
this little cauck assist thing so you
just insert this down in here
like this and then
push it up like that and then we can
[ __ ] it a little bit easier so let’s
start off with pellet number one
the crossman 7.4 grain
and let’s shoot five pellets
over the crawny and see what we get here
okay so we’ve got about between 510 and
on the
crosman pointed
the crosman hollow point 7.9 grain let’s
see what they do
okay so we got about 480 to 490 out of
the 7.9 grain pellets
let’s switch over
to the jsb
strattons which is an
all right so we got about 460 on average
out of the
now we’re going to go to our heaviest
pellet today
which is the
jsb
okay so we got about 440 on average out
of the jsb
exact
so
obviously the heavier the pellet the
velocity drops down
i will throw the fb calculations up on
screen for each one of these pellets and
that will give you kind of idea which
one is the best one to use so far
but now i’m gonna break this in and
shoot oh
gonna run about a hundred of these 7.4
grains over there just to
smooth it out get some you know break in
out of it so let’s go ahead and get at
that and see what it does
[Music]
all right so
i lost count of how many shots it took
it took a while to shoot all that
um kind of my camera my target camera
went down there for a little bit i
caught a few shots there at the end
but um anyways yeah that’s about 100
plus what i shot over the crony so about
it seemed like the the faster i shot the
hotter the barrel got um the begin to
lose a little power so i’ve let it sit
here for oh
probably five minutes here um
this is pretty warm here so let’s go
ahead and see
now not that anybody would be shooting
it that fast i mean in the wild you’re
going to be shooting a cold gun but
let’s see what it’s going to do hot
because it did seem like i was losing
some
elevation on it
now to get this thing to caulk
it’s real hard to caulk it like this i
basically just
hit it like that on my knee that makes
it real easy whoa
twisting my shooting table here
okay i want to throw that up on screen
there granny let’s see what it’s done
after about 100 shots
as fast as i could shoot him here see
what our velocities are on this
yeah 507 see it has dropped quite a bit
um from
when it was in its cold state
let me shoot one more
i may need to let this thing cool down a
little bit before i do the
final velocity test because it seems
like it does lose velocity
you know shooting a whole bunch like i
did
yeah let’s go ahead and let it cool down
a little bit i’ll come back and uh see
what it does when that spring is all
cold because i’ve been cocking and
shooting the heck out of this thing all
right so i’m back out the next day
the guns had all night to set
and so i’m going to turn my cronie on
here
and let’s see if
it has stabilized or what’s happening
with this gun yesterday it lost quite a
bit of velocity in the break-in
with this pellet right here
it was shooting about 520 before the
break-in and then afterwards it was down
about four or 450 around there and we’re
just jumping all over the place
hopefully
everything is calmed down and let’s see
what we get on this first one here
okay 459
i was hoping it’d go back up
but let’s try another one here
wow 459 420 that’s a 40 fps
jump that’s not good
let’s try this another one a third one
let’s try one more it’s kind of windy
today
or 321 oh my gosh what was that
more
what in the world
went from the 400s to the 300s
let’s try again
now it’s lost about 200 fps
over yesterday
we’re jumping 100 feet per second
well i’ll tell you what i am
really disappointed i just uh
i was hoping for better performance out
of this thing but
i mean it’s already a low low power this
is the lightest pellet i have at 7.4
grain
the box says right here
but i’m sure that’s with something like
maybe a five grain pellet
uh it was shooting about 5 20 yesterday
with these pellets
right here when i first started out but
after the break-in
is now jumping all over the place the
spring appears to be
just flopping around in there
um
i now see why they sold it for 35
dollars
really it’s not trustworthy with that
kind of fps jumping that low of velocity
would not be accurate
i shot a whole bunch yesterday and i was
able to get some accuracy out of it but
um it’s just getting down in a range
where it would not be useful for
anything
especially any kind of hunting at 330
fps
i mean it’d be very few things other
than a mouse that it would kill
so
just uh not reliable
and
you know so
there you go that’s what this test was
about was to kind of give you an idea
whether you should consider this thing
right now my opinion is um if you happen
on one of these just uh pass it by
it is not worth it it’s a cool looking
gun i mean it actually is pretty nice i
i really enjoyed shooting it
and uh was really hoping that it would
perform a lot better than this there may
be some fixes to actually improve this
thing to some degree but i don’t know
um if i’m going to invest it i’ll look
online and if i do find some way to fix
this and make it a better pistol i may
post a follow-up video
uh for a mod on this thing to make it
better
um but right now as it is i’m going to
say this is a pass
and uh
you know it’s a toy
and it was worth 35 dollars maybe so all
right guys well i hope you enjoyed this
