General Comments

Having bought my EB22 only a matter of hours ago i am confident in such a short amount of time that this is the most capable air pistol i have fired.

It feels very sturdy and well built unlike even some of the more expensive options i have (ie 92fs)

Inserting co2 is easy as it just slides into a compartment below the muzzle and is locked in with a screw cap. Then all that needs doing is inserting a pellet. It has a simple bolt action to load the pellet into the breech after which only a short pull of the fairly light trigger is required to send a pellet screaming out. You can buy a .177, .20 or .22 all of which fall on the legal limit of an air pistol (in england) of 6ftlbs. i have seen some sites claim up to 475fps for the .22, but i think the claimed 430fps is more realistic. I own, along with this, a Beretta 92, Walther CPS and Webley Hurricane, and have fired many more and find this the most enjoyable purely because of the power. the only draw back to this is the fact that the co2 is used up quicker and only lasts around 30-35 full power shots.

Looks are personal preference, and i originally bought this gun as a change to the 8-shot repeater co2 guns, but have grown to like it in this short time! If you don't mind reloading after every shot is provides as much fun as any of these i have mentioned, and due to the price tag being slightly less than some of the guns in this end of the market it seemed like a practical and more efficient choice.
