I was going to do the table top review of the Baikal Drozd Blackbird first but the weather was just too nice to pass up today to not get outside and give this gun a thorough testing. I'm kind of doing this one backwards this time around. 177 cal,Ĭlick here to check out my Table Top Review for the Baikal Drozd Blackbird My YouTube Video Review for this Russian made Blackbird BB Machine gun:īuy this gun in Canada - Buy this gun in the US Categories: 4.5mm /. If you are looking for the absolute top player in the BB Machine gun category then the Drozd Blackbird is the top contender with its excellent build quality and performance along with the nearly unlimited modifications available to make the Blackbird perform up to anyones standards. It may be one of the more pricy BB machine guns on the market but it is well worth the extra cost to get such a quality product that not only is great out of the box but can also be modified in so many ways to improve its performance and looks dramatically.
The Baikal Drozd Blackbird IZH MP-661K takes all the fun you get with the Classic Drozd and gives you even more fun.
There are a fair amount of metal components like the factory barrel, much of the magazine and many internal parts.
Even so it did reasonably well, but when when I flicked it over to full auto it actually seemed to tighten up and start grouping even more centered and closer together considering the vast amount of rounds coming out of the barrel all at once :)īuild Quality: This is a typical Russian made gun, all business and less importance put on looks but even so it is visually appealing, at least to me! Everything works exactly as it should and even though the main shell is made out of plastic, it's really more of a weapons grade polymer so there is no cause for concern here. This is how the single fire and burst fire rates are achieved, by means of electronics.Īccuracy: The Drozd Blackbird is designed to be a machine gun and so testing it in single shot mode for accuracy is kind of taking it out of its element. The solenoid pulsates in turn hitting the CO2 valve release. Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the IZH Drozd Blackbird is nice and light due to the fact that the trigger is not mechanical but is instead an electronic on-off switch that operates a solenoid. Propulsion: CO2 or (Bulk air with adaptor).Īction: Electronic trigger with 1-3-6 round burst & 300-340-600 Rounds Per Minute. these drozd' seem to be a money pit.ġ00_4663c.jpg ġ00_4662b.jpg ġ00_4660.Click here to check out my Field Test for the Baikal Drozd Blackbird i dont have a chrony so i dont know the fps, but there was a noticeable difference in accuracy and power when i replaced the barrel.Īlso ive noticed that it seems to shoot harder when using a co2 paintball tank as opposed to my hpa tankĪnyway since i dont have a chrony, heres a picture of the block wall in my garage and what my blackbird has done to it with two mags.Īlso about the full auto mod, ill be getting to it when i have some extra cash. the coating doesnt seem to come off of them. Ive found that the crosman copperhead bb's leave a haze of copper dust everywhere inside the gun so ive switched to the silver beeman ones. also, ive had a few jamming issues with lead balls so i use bb's. It took about a week after the money was in his account to get my barrel from jim.
