Things I would have changed:Drop the price about $10 - it really is a little expensive for an airsoft mag. What others should know:If you don't mind paying the price, get one of these to use in your Caspian models. You'll be a lot happier when you havee the option of using CO2 as well as GG.
Things I liked:This mag does what it's supposed to - holds BBs and gas. And a lot easier to gas up than the original mag. Everyone needs at least two mags for every gun, so if you're buying a P08 throw in one of these too. Things I would have changed:Nothing What others should know:The original P08 mag was difficult

The replacement is a much better mag.

Things I liked:This is a beautiful reproduction of a classic hunting rifle. The finish and checkering are exellent. It's accutrate at 50+ yds. and certainly powerful enough for rodents, etc, tho so far I've confined my shooting to targets. A fine shooter and a good collector to hang on the wall. Things I would have changed:Even

It's accutrate at 50+ yds. and certainly powerful enough for rodents, etc, tho so far I've confined my shooting to targets. A fine shooter and a good collector to hang on the wall. Things I would have changed:Even at the reduced price it's pricy - not for the casual shooter. An improved knurl or something on the end of the cocking lever would make it easier to get hold of, since it's buried beneath the barrel. What others should know:For those who can appreciate the reproduction of 'old world craftsmanship' this is a beauty.
Things I liked:This is just a fun and comfortable gun to plink around with at a reasonable price. It isn't made to be an exct copy of a real firearm, like, for example, my Walther P-99 or Beretta 92, but then it didn't cost near as much either. I didn't find the cylinders any harder to load than the ones for the various Walter and Beretta

I didn't find the cylinders any harder to load than the ones for the various Walter and Beretta models, for example. As with other Gamo products I have, it passes muster. Things I would have changed:Accuracy is a problrem - the white dots on the front and rear sights are a joke. I finally used some flourescent orange on the front sight and white on the rear and now I can actually line the sights up. Wish it was a bit more powerful too, but I can live with it as is. What others should know:If you don't have a lot of money to invest in a UMAREX-imported product like the S&W, Walther, Beretta, etc, this is the gun to buy. Gamo products are generally reliable, reasonable, and made to last awhile. I have a PT-23 that's still going strong after 6 years.

Read MoreThings I liked:This is the second Nightstalker I've purchased (don't leave one in a corner where your dog can knock it down a flight of stairs - it WILL render it useless..lol) Anyway, the Nightstalker is a much better deal for a lot less money than the Beretta CX-4 which it copies. The Beretta belt magazine is a real PITA and you can load a lot more ammo in the N/S 12-round mags a lot quicker, especially with a speedloader. Your chances of a misfire are also decreased with the N/S. It's just a fun gun, available for less than half the price of the Beretta. I made the mistake of buying a CX-4 once, so I can make an honest comparison. Things I would have changed:Loading the clip into the gun is difficult at times due to the tight fit. You'll occasionally invent brand new words while tryiing to do this - but it can be done. Also, don't believe 'em about the number of shots from an airsource cartridge. Best I've been able to get is around 70-90 good shots. Also, the sighting is pretty bad, so a scope is almost mandatory. What others should know:Buy the Walther PS22 scope and a rail to mount it on the N/S. You'll probably want a speedloader too, since this one is so much fun to shoot that you're going to go thru a lot of pellets.

Things I liked:Bought this one more out of curiosity than anything else, since it's a 'dual fuel' - goes w/greengas or CO2. I was pleasantly surprised by the look, feel and power of this critter right out of the box.

I was pleasantly surprised by the look, feel and power of this critter right out of the box. Changing over from the GG mag to the CO2 is simply a matter of popping out one mag and inserting the other, which is simple and convenient. Things I would have changed:The front portion of the slide, with the front sight attached is held on by a very small set screw. This worked loose on mine and the slide/sight assembly fell off. We were lucky in finding the tiny screw, since we were shooting outdoors. Once re-tightened it's staying where it belongs, but buyers should check and tighten this one before you shoot it. The CO2 mag is too expensive IMO, but probably worth it just to get away from the GG. What others should know:This gun shoots hard, even with GG and harder with CO2. It's accurate at short distances and a lot of fun to shoot - which is what it's all about anyway. Well worth the price.

Things I liked:This is a heavy, realistic rifle - a good addition to your collection of 'wall-hangers' as well as a good shooter. It's powerful and fairly accurate, with the right weight BBs (20 or 25 g), and a real pleasure to shoot. Things I would have changed:The semi-full auto switch is 'iffy'. Sometimes it refuses to shoot

It's powerful and fairly accurate, with the right weight BBs (20 or 25 g), and a real pleasure to shoot. Things I would have changed:The semi-full auto switch is 'iffy'. Sometimes it refuses to shoot on f'/a, but so far flipping the switch back and forth has corrected the problem. Battery door is way too tight and a real hassle to get batteries in and out of. What others should know:Instructions with this gun stated that only the battery provided with the gun should be used. What happens if the originall battery burns out? If I found myself unable to get a replacement battery easily, I'd be more than a little upset, so think about that before you buy this gun to do a lot of shooting.

Things I liked:This is my third attempt to find a RAM that would work properly. The first two I ordered leaked gas (one right out of the box) but this one is working fine, has a lot of power, and is a pleasure to shoot. I like the RAM line for their realistic appearance and the intermediate size PB - .43 cal. These will 'splat ya' very well

The first two I ordered leaked gas (one right out of the box) but this one is working fine, has a lot of power, and is a pleasure to shoot. I like the RAM line for their realistic appearance and the intermediate size PB - .43 cal. These will 'splat ya' very well at a range of 10-20 yds with the paintballs,and having the alternative to use the hard rubber balls makes it even better. Things I would have changed:Whoever is making these for UMAREX should be paying more attention to their QC. Too many of these guns are geting out of the factory with defective seals. I also wish it was a little more accurate, but then you can't expect pinpoint accuracy from a smoothbore barrel. What others should know:If you order one of these, get it from Pryamid - because if you come up with one that has leaky seals, Pyramie will replae it w/o a lot of hassle. Another reason I deal with 'em.

Things I liked:This is a great replica of the historic P-38. Surprisingly accurate and powerful at close range for an airsoft. Shoots good and looks good hanging on the wall. Things I would have changed:They could have made it a little heavier to more closely approximate the weight of real thing, other than than, they got it right

Things I would have changed:They could have made it a little heavier to more closely approximate the weight of real thing, other than than, they got it right. . What others should know:Try to find an extra clip for it, because you're going to enjoy shooting it that much.
Things I liked:This is a very relistic rendition of the cartridge firearm, and a pleasure to shoot - when it'll shoot... It's comfortable in the hand and relatively accurate. Things I would have changed:I've had an R-77 before - the 4" BBL model - and it's still performing well after 3 years. The new R-77 6 however, blew out

Things I would have changed:I've had an R-77 before - the 4" BBL model - and it's still performing well after 3 years. The new R-77 6 however, blew out the seal after only 2 CO2 cartridges - which was about an hour after I recieved it from Pyramid.. I sent it back to Pyramid and am waiting (and waiting..) for a replacement. Since I like Gamo revolvers, this one was a disappointment. I'm hoping the one I got was just a 'lemon' and not an indication that GAMO has lowered the QC on their aiguns. What others should know:GAMO generally makes good quality airguns at a reasonable price, and I still recommend them highly, even with the problem I encountered with this latest model.

Things I liked:I bought the Beretta to replace a Crosman Nightstalker (which was a great gun until it became damaged beyond repair). It has the same good looks and feel of the other 'black rifle', and is almost identical in many ways. However the Beretta has the advantage of a 30-round clip which is easier to load into the gun - tho more time

It has the same good looks and feel of the other 'black rifle', and is almost identical in many ways. However the Beretta has the advantage of a 30-round clip which is easier to load into the gun - tho more time consuming to load with pellets. It's fast, fairly accurate and powerful enough for a plinker to play with. Things I would have changed:I was surprised that, at the price, the sights on the Beretta don't give you as many options and adjustments as the Nightstalker (tho this wasn't a problem for me, since I immediately added a scope). I was also expecting a rifle with more power and better accuracy than the Nightstalker, but they break about even. The addition of a second clip with the rifle would be welcome, since they take time to load, and, at the price, Beretta could cetainly afford to include another clip in the box. What others should know:Other than the innovative 30-round clip, this rifle is practically a carbon copy of the Nightstalker. The addition of that larger capacity clip, the Beretta nameplate and a hardshell case (which I dont even use, since my rifles are wall-mounted) doesn't justify the BIG difference in price. If I had to do it over again, I'd just buy another Nightstalker. For shooters who want a 'black rifle' I'd recommend doing just that. With what you save, you could buy several handguns to go with it.
Things I liked:These balls do just what they're supposed to - leave a nice red 'splat' on whatever (or whoever) you hit. Things I would have changed:Nothing What others should know:Pyramid has the best prie on these that I've found so far.
