General Comments
Yeah, it's a fantastic gun, so don't let those bad points of mine let you down or anything, they could just certainly be improved on. Especially the rotary action. It's pretty unreliable if you look at exactly how it actually works. And mine stopped working correctly; the gun spins the clip to chamber the round, fires it, and then when you let go of the trigger, the mechanism that spins the clip goes back to its resting position for the next shot, but when mine does so, it catches on the clip and brings it back a round. So it tries to fire the same shot every time I pull the trigger. And I'm sure that this is a fairly common reason that these guns stop working for people; as I said before, it seems pretty unreliable when you look at it in action. HOWEVER, it's wicked accurate (I hate when people talk about how inaccurate a gun is when it's actually that they're just a terrible marksman), and DEFINITELY the most powerful CO2 pistol for its unbelievable price! I would recommend it to anybody who doesn't want to spend over like $100 on a BB/pellet pistol. Just keep it really clean and in good condition and I'm sure you won't have the same problem I had.
