- Surprising for many reasons. , October 27, 2009

Today i received my SA1 from UPS and opened it immediately. I noticed that the "wood" finish really does look amazing. Also I noticed that the gun, once assembled, was extremely comfortable to hold, more so than my old UTG M324. After having put on my scope mount and the scope itself I went outside and shot around in my backyard. Using Echo 1 .28g bb's the power of this gun was made obvious to me. I shot into the woods and heard the bb bounce off of multiple trees in a loud cacophony. The gun itself makes little noise. I also tried using my madbull .36g Bb's, however, I couldn't see them because of their color... though I was able to hit everything I aimed at. Anyway time for a synopsis:

Looks: (5/5)
The wood grain really adds to the hunting feel of this gun. I love it. With the scope on it it looks amazing. I am very glad that it looks the way it was advertised to look.

Performance: (5/5)
Amazing. The bb's speared through the air with ease. The accuracy is incredible... the bb's go straight every time. No exaggeration. It can be harder to sight in your scope though if you aren't using white bb's. Anyway... the way this gun shoots is rather awesome.

Construction: (4/5)
The gun is quite light. This isn't a problem... as it feels nice to hold. However... for all of you people who want a bit more heft... go with something else. The stock seems rather tough. The firing assembly is all metal and won't break... The hop up lever on the side of the barrel is garbage. It is made of shitty plastic. I know that it will break if i don't treat it well. Additionally... the magazine release button is a pain. You really have to pull to get the mag out. These are just little things though which can be fixed and avoided with proper care.

This gun is a very good value. 100 dollars for something that performs impressively is not a large expense. Plus... the 28 round magazine capacity will keep you shooting for a while.

Overall this gun receives a 14 out of 15 for me. Thank you for reading this and I hope that you will rate it!

This is a pretty good gun. Of course the construction isn't rock hard, but for the uses that you may want it, it doesnt have to be. If you were thinking of buying a mini, you may want to think otherwise. If you buy this gun you can hack it. A video is on Youtube, which will void the warranty, but will make this gun shoot automatically. Just take off the slide and some components fall out. These are the stops for the guns motor. Once disabked you will get the auto-fire of a mini with around 10-15 more fps. I gave this gun a three, b/c it supersedes a mini, but honestly it is a piece o' junk. Save a bit more, and get a nice spring pistol. Just think about it please.

HOpe this helped, Candyman SB

Okay, I just bought this gun from shorty, and i am impressed. First of all, it came in two days, so thanks shorty. Second, it is a great gun. Just buy it. No point in reading you off the stats. Just good, so get it, 100 is not that much for such a good gun, maybe a steal? Hahah, i shot myself with a .30 gram to see how much it would hurts, i am bleeding out of my stomach. Do not do that, but i do that with all my guns, so it is ritual for me. Just get it
