#Taurus pt92 electric bb pistol semi auto license#
Taurus makes these pistols without the need for a license as they are based on the original Beretta 92 design, the patents for which have now expired. The PT92 is based on the Beretta 92 and is a semi-automatic, short recoil pistol chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum round. In the early 1980s Forjas Taurus bought the Beretta plant in Sao Paulo and began production of the PT92 there in 1983. So, despite the fact that this pistol bears the GSG name and logo, it isn’t a replica of anything that company actually make instead it’s a pretty accurate replica of the Taurus PT92B, which is itself a Brazilian copy of the original Beretta 92. But confusingly GSG don’t make a replica of the Beretta 92. 22 rimfire replicas of military firearms – for example the company produce a GSG1911 in. The GSG92 obviously looks a lot like the Beretta 92 but GSG actually stands for German Sports Guns GmbH, a Dortmund based firearms manufacturer which is best known for its. Indeed, the first question that probably occurs to most potential buyers is what the hell is a GSG92 anyway? Unfortunately answering that is a bit complicated and requires a trip around the world so pay attention at the back folks, I may ask questions later. I normally start my reviews with a look at the real weapon on which the replica is based, but this is more than a little muddled in the case of the GSG92, so instead I’ll try to explain what this is actually a replica of. Incidentally, the GSG92 seems to have been rebranded by Cybergun as the Swiss Arms P92, though I believe that both pistols are identical other than for markings. The Tanfoglio Witness and SIG seem to be much better known and more popular, but I do think that the GSG92 is worth considering. In some ways the GSG92 is the neglected blowback Cybergun pistol. Being BB shooters, they aren’t as powerful as some of my pellet firing pistols, but they are moderately satisfying to shoot. I like all three because they replicate so accurately the feel and operation of real semi-automatic pistols. I have owned of three Cybergun blowback 4.5mm pistols: The Tanfoglio Witness, SIG-Sauer P226 X-5 and the GSG92.
