Umarex HK P30 Electric Blowback Airsoft Gun

when i got this gun i couldnt wait to open it. even though it’s plastic, it feels like really high quality plastic and is durable. the sights are perfect and the mags are decent. the only thing is that it has low fps. 200-210

i really like the semi/full automatic settings. like i said, the sights are perfect. i will update the review if anything happens (sorry my foot’s in that one picture)

people say that the mags are bad and hard to load but they really are a lot easier to load than a lot of magazines.

the thing is, the fps is really low so the gun is not suitable for battles because you have to get close to someone to fire because the aim will only be good for 20 feet. but they are good for paper targets but not cardboard. this is a really nice gun so i still will give it five stars.

so, it would be good for short range targets but not for long range targets because the bullet will curve.

overall, this is a great gun and it is really good so even though high fps is important, this deserves five stars.

The battery issue stems from bad contacts on the battery door.
To figure this out, I stuffed some balled up kanthal wire in between all the batteries and each of the 4 battery contact points. If you have this issue and are in search of an easy fix, skip to*A*
It was a pain in the butt to get it just right but once I got it set & the door shut, I was able to play with it until the batteries died. The time I did get to play with it was much more fun.
I still had to return mine because when I tried to make the fix permanent by bending the 2 silver pieces on the battery door broke off. The the plastic pin that holds them in there are maybe at best .5 mm in diameter.
If anyone else has a battery contact problem that keeps them from being able to fire the bb’s or it only works intermittently, don’t do what I did when I tried what came to be the easiest fix. I tried to bend them but suspend pain of plastic the manufacturer uses to hold them in place snapped off.
*A*
You can try a couple different ways to fix it.
1- Melt a little bit more plastic on top of the plastic pins prior to trying to bend them. It might work
2- plastic epoxy ? could work
3- Crazy Glue life hack WILL WORK
(1,2) By melting a little plastic or putting some sort of epoxy (that’s made it to work on plastics) on top of the pins should reinforce it enough that won’t pop off while bending the contact points.
Krazy Glue method
Just put a Little Dab of crazy glue on the top and sprinkle some baking soda on there and within seconds it’ll be rock hard. If it’s not rock hard in a couple of seconds you’ve used too much crazy glue and the baking soda will not penetrate far enough into the crazy glue, it won’t set properly. (it wasn’t able to penetrate far enough).
If that’s where you find yourself, wipe it/scrape it off put then try it again using just a little bit of crazy glue, sprinkle some more baking soda on there and I promise you it’ll be rock hard & super strong.
I don’t recommend trying to clean it up with a razor blade cuz there’s a good chance you’ll end up cutting yourself you’re better off using a little file.
As long as you use a thin coat and it hardens immediately & you can build it up by using multiple coats. It’s by far the most useful piece of information I’ve obtained from YouTube. By useful, I mean it’s the most frequently used life hack (that actually works) I found on YouTube. So now, “If You Don’t Know, Now You Know ……”
Supposedly that’s how they repair minor flaws in the carbon fiber helicopter blades. You think I’m lying check out the video on YouTube. I didn’t believe it until I tried it and now I swear by it.
More rambling;
Now that I know, that I should have reinforced the plastic pins on the battery bay door using the Crazy Glue hack before bending battery connectors……., I do plan to buy another one of these when they’re back in stock. It’ll make for a great airsoft gun you know, for when people that don’t know anything about Airsoft come over and you don’t want to let them play with your nice blowback pistols, this will fill that gap. No matter what it’ll be fun to pick up and spend the whole magazine on spray and pray method on Full Auto it’ll still make make you giggle LOL.
BTW- I would say you could try using a couple drops of solder some to fill the gap between the battery and the contact point but it would be a bad idea. I don’t think, I know it would melt the pin. Seriously the plastic pins are so skinny they would melt before the metal became hot enough for the solder to bend to the contact point.
If I’m reading this something doesn’t make sense or the word spelled wrong way for the meaning, I use a speech to text extension from my Google toolbar and it convert speech to text correctly about 95% of time, just enough I don’t always proofread it before publishing. One day I’ll reread it and be like wow that makes no sense. Anyways thanks jewelry reading my updated review that included the repair that prevented this gun justifying a $32 price point. If you don’t mind tinkering a little bit this is a pretty decent $32 Airsoft pistol.
If you like this style pistol and plan on using it in the field as your sniper sidearm, you’re better off getting the Springer, single shot version. It may not have full auto or be semi-automatic but it has more power and you don’t need to carry extra batteries or fear your battery is going dead while playing. Good luck and happy shooting from the 😠🐓

Below is my original, super Pst off review I wrote before I started the return process. The above amendment to this review came from what I learned a few days later, after the return was scheduled & decided that I would tinker with it before sending it back I wish I spent the extra couple minutes and used the Crazy Glue hack first but laziness got the best of me.

Original Review
With fresh batteries put in and 2 mags loaded Iwas ready!
Too bad I ready to fiddle with it for 30 minutes before the first shot was fired.
I accomplished that after using the same amount of umph used when speed changing my real steel Glocks, basically I banged on the battery door. It shot 2 times before I had to do it again. This time I was able to finish off the mag that was in it. When I changed mags I went through the same B.S to shoot it again this time on full auto. Because it has a blowback slide to make it look real, it must eat up the battery power that could be better spent on making the bb go further than 25ft before it then abruptly changes trajectory 20-30 degrees up. There’s no play in the side to side before losing sight of it 50 ft away or so unfortunately you’d have to aim at your enemies feet in order to shoot it over their head at that 50 ft distance.
My best advice to them is to ditch the blowback and redirect that power to faster FPS and figure out some sort of hop up so it can be tuned to avoid the bb going off in whatever direction it feels like.
They came close to a decent gun but it’s def. not reliable or powerful enough for game play. I got it to keep the squirrels away from out bird feeders w/o killing those tree climbing rats with fluffy tails.
Don’t waste your time or $ until they address the build quality.

It just stopped working

Would not fire when first opened. The safety is horrible being its a press safety on your grip. Once I electrical taped the safety down the gun began to function. For less than 100 rounds. And then decided that it did not want to function anymore. While working the gun performed well for the price point. Easy trigger pull and the full auto feature was actually fun. Would be a fun little starter gun if it lasted more than a day.
