Good Points
Powerful!
Bad Points
Looks cheap, feels cheap, cheaply made. It feels like a toy, which it isn't!
General Comments
I have set up a cardboard box filled with old newspapers and magazines. Five pumps (out of the recommended maximum of ten) and... the pellet went through double vinyl board of my fence (the sights were WAY off target!).
This little gun is strange: despite the warning on the package (treat it seriously!), it is marketed as a kid's gun, and its "feel" suggest the same. In my opinion it is LESS safe than a .22LR - it is powerful enough to seriously hurt, yet inherently more difficult to control, due to the necessity to pump.
Now the good point: for suburban backyard pest control it should do, and the price makes it a steal.
