It is much quieter than my heavy-duty steel pellet trap, so I use it most of the time. Things I would have changed:The plastic assembly that holds the interior "ballistic curtains" is fragile and unprotected from high shots into the target. What others should know:First, pull the cardboard off the trap and look inside. There are some Crosman targets and two extra plastic pins to hold the cardboard front stored inside. Also, study how the curtains are arranged; you may have to replace them or re-hang them.
On the second round I fired, I hit the plastic curtain support assembly because my gun wasn't properly zeroed. The assembly broke, and the curtains fell into the bottom of the trap, allowing following pellets to hit the steel back and deform it (none penetrated), and the trap became noisy.
You cannot fix the rod assembly if you break it. However, you can cut a 1/4" wooden dowel to the same length and rehang the curtains over it. The curtains will not stay in place unless you push some sharpened wire through the curtains on either side and then twist-tie them in place. NOTE: It is difficult to push the wire through; the curtains have a strong, close-woven mesh. Be careful not to suffer a puncture wound.
For those who complain that there are no extra cardboard fronts, all you have to do is cut more cardboard and tape it over the original; it doesn't have to be the same size, and you don't have to use the four plastic pins to hold the new cardboard in place. It's not a big deal.

Things I liked:The HB22 is a handsom gun as pictured. Things I would have changed:The front sight should be thicker and the rear sight needs to be redesigned. The grip should be wider. The trigger should be "tightened up;" there is too much play in it. What others should know:The gun I received had the following problems:

The trigger should be "tightened up;" there is too much play in it. What others should know:The gun I received had the following problems: 1.) The gun I got was not the same as the one pictured. It seems that the front plug for the barrel is in short supply, so Crosman used a plug from the Sheridan/Benjamin air rifle with the result that the barrel overhangs the pressure tube. 2.) The serial number is hard to read because it has a "dot-matirx" look. In addition, paint is missing from the pressure tube where the serial number appears. 3.) When I pump the front lever, the forward-most pin in the wooden handle drifts out toward the right side of the gun; the pin is a poor fit. 4.) The trigger is looser than it needs to be (side-to-side play). 5.) The gun may be accurate, but due to the poor sights and the narrow grip I have trouble shooting it accurately.
