Stunning looks, great balance, deadly accurate (almost up there with full-on FT rifles!), light, over 100 12ft-lb. shots without trouble.
Pretty loud without the moderator, and kinda looks stumpy. Five magazines with eight shots takes a while to load up, and seconds to shoot! Don't lose the reloading disc, or filling the magazines is really difficult.
Got this Falcon FN Lighthunter-8W rifle with the bottle, a cool electrodot scope, moderator, and five eight shot magazines. Great target accuracy from off the shelf, I can rapid fire rather nicely, and cut a can in half faster than most people can find the target.
I really have to build a machine to reload the magazines faster - I can empty them in under two minutes (all 40 shots) into a tin can on a string freehand - except then I will have to buy a bigger air bottle and shares in a lead pellet factory...
Accuracy is good enough that I have put three consecutive shots, freehand, through a .25mm hole at 25 yards. My rifle is .22!
Buy one. I rate it 9 stars for accuracy only because it is a .22, not a .177, and so cannot quite compete with the full-on 25lb. FT rifles. For anything other than 70 yard shots on 5mm targets, this rifle will do the job.
Ten stars for everything else.
