Cannon Flannel goes over the Italian Space Blaster, the Umarex/KWA Beretta PMX GBB. After testing its performance with high-pressure gas, the gun shows a bit of an attitude by shooting quite hot, making it more of an outdoor contender than a friendly indoor CQB companion. While the consistency is decent, the stock hop-up struggles to lift heavy BBs, suggesting that a little internal surgery might be required if you want to actually hit what you’re aiming at.

Field stripping the PMX is relatively straightforward, though it does involve a bit of hammering and reveals some quirks under the hood. The internals feature a surprising metal nozzle, but the bolt catch is a bit of a drama queen—wobbly and prone to stage fright when it comes to locking back on an empty magazine. It is fully ambidextrous, however, which is great news for those who haven't quite decided which hand they prefer to use.

He says that the PMX is recommended for collectors or fans of Italian design who don't mind a lack of aftermarket parts. It might not be the most practical choice compared to more common models, but it offers a unique look that stands out in a sea of predictable gear. If you enjoy things that are slightly temperamental but full of character—much like the Cannon Flannel's controversial love for pineapple on pizza—this airsoft SMG might just be your next favorite toy.
