General Comments

The Shanghai B2 is the typical cheap Chinese break-barrel sold frequently in the $20-$25 range (although sometimes for far more). At that, it's a so-so bargain... poor machining, sights that may or may not be of any use, velocity anywhere from 500-650fps. A good one can give some amount of reasonable service, a bad one will be nothing but a headache. It's greatest attraction is that it's not terribly difficult to work (and learn) on, but don't count on being able to make it into a decent shooter (if it isn't one already).

The trigger can be anything from so-so (it's a direct sear like the Fast Deer) to horrible - to "auto-fire" when you close the breach!

Overall, there's really not much point to this thing, not with the $20 Cummings B3 or the $25 Fast Deer available.
