My dad got this for me for my birthday and it rocks!!! this pistol is so real looking i almost made my friend pee his pants when i showed him (i was covering the tip). Its accurate up to 50ft (for human targets) and hurts when it hits. weighs like the real thing and is well worth the money. BUY THIS GUN!!!

I purchased this for my son for Christmas this year. We loaded the magazine twice and the gun shot very well. The third time we loaded the magazine it broke. I'll try to explain. There is a tool to grab a small nub to depress a spring in the magazine. You slide it down to the base of the magazine where it "locks" into place and then you load the bb's. When you release the tool it allows the spring to put pressure on the bb's thus pushing them into the chamber. It's a very poor design. So on Christmas day we went to load the third magazine and the little nub broke off...now we can't retract the spring to load bb's. I contacted Amazon who was very helpful and I returned the gun for a new one. I just received a second gun today and guess what? The exact same thing happened when we tried to load the magazine for a second round of shooting.
The gun is great, the magazine design ruins the whole gun. What good is the gun if you can't load it to be shot? I'll be contacting...Read more
