Good Points
Well...it looks cool...and its made by benjamin.....

Bad Points
Not to be a wimp but it really takes to much effort for each shot and like the other dude said you have to find ammo it likes. if you dont standard gammo ammo wont feed itself into the chamber.

I disagree with this review because...<br/>So many, many people, including myself, report very accurate shooting with the 392.<br/><br/>The gun does NOT come "sighted in" right out of the box. When receiving a new air rifle one should always clean it and then, testing several pellets ranging from light to heavy, sight it in with the pellet giving the best grouping. <br/><br/>In some rifles using too light of a pellet (i.e. the high velocity, lead free ones) can cause erratic accuracy. This has been well documented in several videos. I have found that the 14.3gr Crossman Premium hollow point, which is a well made, very uniform pellet., works well in the 392, and I suspect that a heavier, 18gr pellet would work as well, as long is it well made. The 392 is a very affordable air rifle, but that is no reason to skimp on the quality of the pellet you use.<br/>
