Good Points

they have enough power and they are very accurate.

Bad Points

they are not made for heavy duty shooting. liek, you cannot shoot everyday. maybe for a whole year you are to shoot just 5000 bullets, then it would work.

General Comments

I have a Webley Hurricane and a RWS 9N. and 2 Diana P5. The RWS's power is greater than the Hurricane by 30% and the P5 is bigger than the RWs by 30%. I am very happy with the P5 because it is very accurate. It can shoot up to 100 ft away and still be very accurate. I used 10,000 bullets in 3 months. Everyday I shoot in my backyard but after that, after 3 months, both P5s' spring broke and then 10 days after the repair. Both of the guns broke again. Then I repaired it again, and both the guns had yet again been faulty. The bullet would go only half way out the shooter. Or it would just fall out the front of the gun. and the safetly button got jammed. the guns' springs are all very easily broken.
If you can accept the gun's faultiness, then this is a very good gun.

    So, in what way did you repair it? If the spring broke, it had to be replaced. Did you replace it and it broke again? If so, after how many shots? I am looking at buying it right now and if something else goes faulty besides the mainspring, that's pretty bad. If it's only a mainspring replacement that's due after 10k shots, it's acceptable. Please provide your afterwards experience with this airpistol. I am really curious, thank you.
