EMG FALKOR DEFENSE BLITZ the Blitz is an easy AEG to drive from target to target , especially with the ergonomic pistol grip and the positivity of that striking “ Fatty ” handguard . The ambi-everything controls are familiar but the fact that you can operate them with either hand is a huge bonus . In terms of practicality , the RS2 stock has a push-thru-pin-release , hinged buttplate so changing batteries is fast and straightforward even in the heat of the moment ! The battery connection is Deans / T-Plug , so this is obviously set up to work with Titan Power batteries from the get-go ( although others will work just fine ), as of course that ’ s another collaboration that EMG have these days .
With a Titan Power 3000mAh , 7.4V Li-Ion battery installed , I loaded up the 450BB wheel-winder BBs with . 20g and had at it on the 50m
range .
The micro switch / S . D . U . chipset trigger combo is indeed super-crisp and you ’ ll need to fine-tune your trigger finger , as it ’ s sensitive and sends BBs downrange with the gentlest touch ! Through the chrono the Blitz settled perfectly and consistently at
1.07J / 341fps .
There are no “ iron ” sights fitted as standard to the Biltz ( sadly a minor niggle these days !), so I fitted some that I had in the spares box and at 50m supported , on . 25gs , it was easy to get hits on a torso-sized target , with each BB flying straight and true .
I also got the Blitz onto the 10m short range where I have the Attack Sense Target System set up and the rifle performed superbly . In reality , again down to the responsiveness of the superb trigger when the targets were flashing on the highest , fastest setting !
I ’ m pleased to report that the FALKOR DEFENSE BLITZ certainly lived up to my expectations and that the striking , unique look is certainly backed-up by more than adequate performance straight out of the box . I would like to have seen some “ irons ” fitted as standard , which would make the AEG usable straight from the get-go but this is a minor quibble in relation to what is a stunning rifle . I ’ ve seen the Blitz for sale generally around the UK £ 380 mark which these days is not super-cheap but the fact is that it really does provide quality and performance for the money - and I come back to “ getting what you pay for ” here .
FALKOR Defense were voted “ brand of the year ” at SHOT Show in 2017 and I have to say that when you get your hands on the Blitz , even in replica form ,
“ I ’ M PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE FALKOR DEFENSE BLITZ CERTAINLY LIVED UP TO MY EXPECTATIONS AND THAT THE STRIKING , UNIQUE LOOK IS CERTAINLY BACKED-UP BY MORE THAN ADEQUATE PERFORMANCE STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX .”
you can begin to understand why they received this accolade ! The fact is that the Blitz looks stunning , is fast and easy to manipulate and puts BBs on target with alacrity . Once again I believe that APS and EMG have got this totally right and I applaud them for yet another fine licenced replica that personally I find both attractive and completely functional from new - and one I would sincerely love to own myself !
