How to Train with Subcaliber and Replica Firearms

摘要

This month we get to look at subcaliber training. There are plenty of versions of subcaliber training, from using rifled barrel inserts that fit into a 12 gauge barrel, to AR-15 conversions that allow 22LR cartridges to be used in the same upper, and replica firearms, which closely resemble their "real" counterpart. This is mostly about replica firearms. I wasn't such a big fan, until both SIG SAUER and Umarex really improved the game. Both companies have produced .177 caliber replica guns. Umarex offers Glock 17 and Glock 19 models, which shoot BB s. SIG SAUER offers an Ml7 that shoots .177 caliber soft lead pellets, and a BB version of their P365 handgun.
