-The plastic case has cut outs for two cartriges and a circular BB container. It uses an actual hinge, too.
- The slide reciprocates for the first 80 (5 magazines) BBs, then needs to have the hammer manually cocked to fire. The CO2 runs out during the 6th magazine.
- It rattles (light/weak springs, and slide to frame fit)
- The slide sometimes locks back. thumbs-forward seems to help
- It takes a magazine (16 BBs). The magazine has a little magnet at the tip which can be used to help fish out BBs from the container
- The non-ambi safety is in the right place but operates differently. Theres a plunger in the safety that must be depressed to allow the safety to slide into the firing position
- The trigger works differently. Slapping the trigger or full trigger motion is needed. You can't pull back to reset.
- Drop time was very long (light/weak springs)
- CO2 cartrige can be challenging to remove. There is no clip on the grip panel to hold it.
They add some nice bits of detail to it. The frame and slide are metal, which has a good heft to it and it feel more or less like a full size.
The gun has GI sights which work nicely.
Shooting at 5 yards at the reported 410 fps was fun and came more or less sighted for about 50% CO2 charge for pumpkin on a post sighting. Accuracy was pretty good for me when I started getting the hang of velocity changes over time. That brown circle is a penny for comparison on the Gamo Deluxe Spinner target. Yes, I'm a terrible shot.
So far, the things I'd change on it would be to:
- Make a more realistic safety. That button just ruins the flow of operations.
- Make the trigger actually reset
- Add another magazine or two
Overall, a ton of fun for a BB gun.
