When it comes to budget air pistols, they are usually plastic mouldings with a simple trigger and hammer mechanism. Their advantage is an appearance resembling live firearms. This also applies to two pistols from Daisy.
The history of Daisy Manufacturing Co. dates back to the end of the nineteenth century, when it began manufacturing portable windmills. Shortly afterwards, Daisy introduced its first air rifle. The windmills are gone, but the airguns have endured for almost 130 years.
The Daisy POWERLINE 415, using a 12 g CO2 cartridge, is a gun that operates in DA mode only. Its appearance remotely resembles the Remington RP9 or S&W MP9 pistol. However, it is not a direct copy of any particular live firearm. The entire pistol consists of two black plastic shells with a seam running vertically. They are held together by seven recessed screws.
The combat-style trigger guard houses the trigger, which operates the release valve. In front of the trigger guard, you will find a rail for attaching a laser sight or torch. The compartment for the cartridge is hidden beneath the extended removable grip base.
Ammunition – steel BBs with a diameter of 4.5mm – is loaded into the magazine on top of the slide. It holds 21 rounds. The sights are fixed, with the front sight highlighted by a fibre-optic insert.
The pistol is fitted with a manual safety on the left side, above the front of the trigger guard. When engaged, the safety disconnects the trigger from the hammer. The hammer strikes the release valve. A red dot indicates that the gun is off safe.
Although the inscription POWERLINE By Daisy 415 – ROGERS – DAISY OUTDOOR PRODUCTS is moulded into the left side, the pistol is manufactured for the company in Japan.
This is confirmed by the MADE IN JAPAN marking on its front section. The right side of the gun bears the usual safety warnings and the serial number.

Handling is simple. Move the safety to the “safe” position and pull the grip base off the handle. Insert a 12 g CO2 cartridge into the metal housing, tighten it and refit the grip base. Then pull the magazine follower forwards towards the front sight. Secure it in the moulded notch. This allows us to load the BBs into the channel through the round loading port in the required quantity. Then release the follower again.
Disengage the safety and shooting can begin. Thanks to the slim 27 mm-wide grip, the pistol can also be handled by smaller hands. Although the trigger pull is somewhat longer due to the DA mode. Pulling the trigger moves the thin-walled smoothbore barrel forwards by approx. 10 mm and a BB drops down from the magazine. Pulling it fully returns the barrel back, chambers the BB and causes an instant release of gas, which fires the BB.
Pulling the trigger again repeats the cycle. The results on target were a pleasant surprise. Although this is a BB gun, at 7 metres, shots fired two-handed with support still formed a group with a diameter of 5 cm. Knock-down metal targets rang out very distinctly even at 12 metres. You can fire 60 to 70 shots from a single cartridge without a drop in performance. Safe handling must also be observed. With a muzzle velocity of 125 m/s, projectile energy is 4 J, while the manufacturer states a maximum range of 215 m along the ballistic trajectory.
The second pistol, the Daisy Powerline 340, is a spring-powered model clearly inspired by the Beretta 92 pistol. The only notable visual difference is the top side of the “slide”. It has a much shorter cut-out than the original. Although the pistol is lightweight, its dimensions match those of its live-fire counterpart. The grip is definitely not suitable for small hands. It is 37 mm wide.
Aside from the thin-walled barrel, spring and part of the hammer mechanism, all pistol components are made of black plastic. The gun’s appearance is quite realistic. On the left side of the slide and frame, there is information about the type, calibre and owner of the Daisy brand, for whom the pistol was manufactured in China. The right side features the usual safety information, brief bullet-point instructions and an eighteen-digit serial number.
Although it is not necessary at all, the gun can be disassembled into two parts. Just like its live-fire counterpart. Press the disassembly button on the right side above the front of the trigger guard.
Turn the disassembly pin on the left side and pull it out, along with the button. Then, with the magazine removed, simply push the slide forwards and remove it from the rails. Reassembly is carried out in reverse order.
The Powerline 340 is also fitted with a safety. The ambidextrous one beneath the fixed rear sight is decorative only. The actual one is within reach of the right thumb, positioned where the slide catch would be. In the upper position, it blocks the trigger.
The button on the left side at the rear of the trigger guard releases the high-capacity magazine with a reservoir for 200 steel BBs with a diameter of 4.5mm. By simply operating the rod on the bottom of the magazine, these can be moved into the feeding chamber for shooting.
The fixed sights are easy to see against a light-coloured target. The trigger has a shorter, quite refined pull.
By opening the cover at the bottom of the grip, we gain access to the reservoir and fill it with ammunition. Insert the magazine into the grip of the secured pistol, pull the follower rod slightly out from the bottom of the magazine and shake the tilted pistol several times. This moves approx. 13 BBs above the follower, then push the rod back in. Then simply turn towards the target, pull the slide fully to the rear and release it. This cocks the spring.
This is also the most demanding operation in the entire shooting process, as it requires quite a lot of force. Once the safety is disengaged, the trigger can be pulled; the external linkage releases the hammer and the spring propels the BB out of the barrel. The pistol operates in SA mode only. For every subsequent shot, the “slide” must be pulled back manually again. Simply cocking the hammer with your thumb will not cock the spring.
For a short break in shooting, simply move the safety to the “safe” position. For a longer break, it is safer to remove the magazine or empty the BBs from it. Hits on target genuinely correspond to a gun intended for fun, and the pistol is more suited to shooting at cans. Nevertheless, it should not be underestimated in any way. The manufacturer’s stated muzzle velocity of around 80 m/s corresponds to an energy of 1.1 J.

Both come packaged with instructions in plastic blister packs. These are placed in cardboard sleeves, the reverse side of which lists the gun’s technical specifications and describes the controls. In both cases, these are pistols intended for fun only, not for training or target shooting. Their price reflects this as well. As far as their intended purpose is concerned – they are perfect for recreational shooting.
