This rifle in basically crap, and the barrel is the worst part as it's 616mm long with an inner diameter of 6.20mm. The barrel is the main reason the weapon sucks since it hasn't got any precision (a spring pistol has better precision, any spring pistol) and much of the air slips by the bullet.
The other mechanical problem with the weapon is the BB feeding. This weapon has two different technics for that. The first one is the magazine that sits infront of the trigger, which is loaded with 5 cartridges, each containing one BB. When the bolt is operated a cartridge is push forward to the barrel and the weapon is loaded. When the weapon has been fired and the bolt is pulled back the cartridge jumps out of the rifle and the next one is then push forward. This is the problem. The magazine takes 5 cartridges (and is problematic to take out), and since the cartridges jumps out this magazine isn't good for skirmishes all though it is realistic.
The second magazine is a square tube that is attached to the left side of the rifle, just below the open sights. A special cartridge is inserted so that the rifle can use the side magazine. This magazine isn't very realistic but it takes 25BB's and doesn't use cartridges, so this magazine is the better of the two systems for skirmishes.
The body is very light and sounds hollow (with it is). The ergonomy of the rifle is quite good, but that is just my opinion and other people might not like the design. The shoulderpad is rubber and that is nice. The rifle feels plastic and toyish, and the main reason is the hollow butt of the rifle.
The rifle isn't hard to load, the bolt is pulled back 8 cm and then push forward and locked. The weapon has two safeties. The first is manual and can be found just in front of the lever on the bolt. The second is internal and this makes the weapon impossible to fire if the bolt isn't locked. The rifle comes with open sights and doesn't have a scoperail, but with the help of some tools, a scope base can be made.
As said before the preformance of the rifle is bad. I have tried it with 0.15g, 0.20g and 0.25g. The range INCREASE with weight, not decrease, and the precision stays about the same. This is very weird, but true, and the reason must be the barrel. The range is between 20-30 meters depending on the wind and the mood of the rifle, and the consistency of the bullet trajectory between shoots is poor. I have tried to measure the energy of the BB and the best estimate I have is about 1.3 Joule. The BB penetrates both the sides and the bottom of a pepsi can at close range.
