- A purchase I regret, October 29, 2009
Reviewer: ScorpianX0 from Nashville, NC

I was rather excited when I first got this spring rifle. I finally had a Spring rifle to use on the side when I didn't feel like using an AEG. I guess I'll start with the good things first.

For $60, the Construction is AWESOME. I really liked how it felt. It was hefty, and felt solid, not to mention a good amount of metal on it. The Faux wood actually looks very nice as well. The only slight problems were that the barrel twists slightly ( no biggie ), and the bolt is rather hard at first to cock it, but it weakens eventually ( again, not a problem really, just something to get used to )

now, for the bad..

Performance is dreadful. .2's are absolutely worthless, as they curve after 30-40ft easily. Sure, you could buy heavier bb's, but for me personally, buying heavier bb's for a rifle that only shoots 280fps with .2's seems a little... well, pointless. It'll drop the velocity drastically, and while heavier does hurt more, I doubt it would make much of an impact to give any fear factor to whoever you're playing against. Personally for me, below 300fps ( unless it's a close quarter gun like a shotgun ) isn't gonna make me think twice about charging with my JG G36c, especially with it being only a spring rifle.

So all in all, it's a beautiful spring rifle, it's just with mine ( I realize a lot of others complimented its performance ) I had a horrible time using mine for skirmishes. Now it just sits on my wall, looking all pretty and shiny. XD

I gave it a 3 with the awesome construction and look.
