Today, we are putting the Marksman 1018 Spring-powered BB/Pellet Pistol through its paces in the indoor shooting range! Don't get too excited, this gun isn't going to blow your socks off with crazy power, and it’s not built for sniper-level accuracy. But in this video, we strictly focus on performance, getting it on the Chrony, and seeing how this basic spring-powered plinker handles when we put standard 4.5mm steel BBs downrange.
Performance & Chronograph Results:
While Marksman claims it shoots up to 200 FPS, our Chrony test showed an incredibly consistent average of 110 FPS across six shots. Due to this exceptionally low velocity, we scrapped the usual 30-foot test and moved the paper target in to 20 feet.
Accuracy & Shooting Feel:
Out of the box, the fixed sights shot high and significantly to the left, so you're going to have to rely heavily on "Kentucky windage" to hit your target. Despite the accuracy quirks, the physical shooting experience is solid. The loading mechanism draws from the internal reservoir flawlessly, cocking the spring is incredibly easy, and the trigger isn't half bad for an entry-level gun.
Ultimately, this is exactly what it looks like: a real basic, inexpensive plinker. Since it's spring-powered, there is no need for CO2, making it incredibly cheap to operate in any environment. It's perfectly designed for casually plinking pop cans in your backyard or basement at 10 to 20 feet.
