    Hi,

    I don't know if there is a 20mm scope mount. There's a rail under the barrel, and the rear sights are detachable, but I don't know if either of those are any use to you.

    I don't know about the velocity, but this gun was the most powerful semi-auto you could buy at the time of purchase 2 years ago, so it's not going to be slow. It's much more powerful than my brother's 8 shot P99.

    I've got 3 magazines, each carrying 28 pellets and I can get most of the way through them before I run out of gas. Unlike other guns I've used, the velocity doesn't seem to run down as steeply at the end of a cannister. It seems to maintain power right up until about 5 shots before the end and then loses it all at once. I wouldnt recommend firing after you start to lose power as I often get pellets stuck in the barrel and they're a problem to get out. I'd say you can get 65-70 shots at full power, if not more.

    The gun is great when you cock it, but if you use the double action it can hurt your fingers as its quite a heavy trigger. The magazine can sometimes refuse to cycle if you use double action, but it varies from magazine to magazine. I have 3 magazines, 2 that I use for semi auto, and one that's a bit tempremental so I just use it when cocking the gun between shots.

    Accuracy seems good, although I don't have much to compare to. Can hit a can at 30m first time, so it cant be that bad. Sights are adjustable, so you can compensate for distance etc.

    Not the most reliable gun, and I did have to send off for a replacement because the catches that secure the topslide wore down and the slide kept coming off, but the second gun has served me well. I rarely get a problem that cant be solved by just giving the magazine a tap.

    One annoying thing is the fact that once cocked you cant decock, or take the magazine out until you've fired the round in the chamber.

    ^I Agree that this gun maintains the power better than other gun I've used. But iyt's not that powerful! I measured the velocity and got about 330-340fps onceI got around 360 which was higher reading. (maybe an error). CO2 lasts up to 70shots (IIRC vel. is about 280fps near the end) Wher ewith my Beretta it's starts at about ~390 and gradualy drops down to ~160fps or so...

    Accuracy is not bad but only if you use it it SA (cock the hammer first) DA is waaaay to heavy for any accurate shooting. at 7 meters you can get 1-2" groups (5-10 shots).

    I don't know how you would attach a ded dot though...

    btw the gun broke after about 1200 rounds (3 months!)... Confused so I can't really recommend it... My Beretta had about 8000 rounds thu it when I traded it fror a .22LR rifle... Wink

    THANKS FOR REPLYING...

    Might take a look at the Beretta (Is it the 9000s?) as it doesn't cost much more (Only $45NZ more) but doesnt quite sound as good and first sight...

    also im attracted to the a3000 cause its got that Glock look which i love.
