Things I liked:

The modern and tactical look, the internal hopper-fed magazine. The selector switches are easier to operate than mechanical safeties and fire selectors. The guns efficiency on co2 is just awesome. The weaver rails are a huge upside, and I've done what all ebos owner's should do and remove the junk rear sight and replace it with a red-dot scope, although the rear sight is useful to a minimal degree for first-users. The power of this gun compared to co2 action pistols is extremely satisfying, and allows you to shred through most any target you put in front of it. As others have said, the accuracy of the EBOS is unbelievably good for a smooth bore BB repeater; after my first few trigger pulls, I knew I had a keeper. This gun will allow you to plink soda cans, soup cans, and anything else in your recycle bin anywhere between 8 and 25 yards. Single fire is excellent if you like taking time with your shots and placing the shots well. 4 shot and 8 shot burst are less accurate but offer endless fun. Another thing I really like about this airgun is that the "hammer" of the gun is powered by a small electric motor (not a solenoid, despite popular belief). Like all of my airguns, I disassembled the EBOS completely after having used it for a few weeks, and the mechanics of this little BB machinegun are made to last. It's obvious that Umarex's engineers and design staff did their best to make this one of the most fun BB repeaters on the airgun market.

Things I would have changed:

There are very few things I would change about this cool little airgun. Things like the plastic body of the gun are only slight downsides, though I found nothing wrong with the plastic body. It's sturdy and well textured. The hopper atop the end of the gun is the only downside to the gun that hinders the use of accesories, as scopes and other optics need a riser to have a completely unobstructed view of your targets. The steel barrel within its plastic housing can flex slightly if the gun is gripped to firmly, though this rarely happens. If there were something that would make this gun even more awesome, it would have to be an option to extend the barrel. Airgunners on some forums claim that their EBOS's exceed 600 fps using longer aftermarket barrels.

What others should know:

The cost of shooting an entire hopper (350-400 shots) through your EBOS right out of the box with the required 88 gram cartridges costs anywhere from $10 to $15. The cost of shooting 1,500 rounds (4 or 5 hoppers) through the ebos using the 30 dollar bulk-adapter from drozdmax and a refillable co2 tank costs between $5 to $8. Take your pick! I personally have a 20oz co2 tank on mine, and I get roughly 1,300 shots using single fire, and around 1,600 shots if you primarily use 4 or 8 shot burst modes. The more shots you take in a second, the more efficient the gun is on co2, but you give up velocity on successive shots as you fire quickly. Use a heavy-duty alkaline battery in this gun, as the motor needs enough torque to open the pressure tight valve in the gun. Duracell batteries will last for about 3000 shots. This gun WILL RUN ON HPA, just be sure that the output of the tank is no higher than 1,200 psi, and you should be fine. I am completely satisfied with my ebos. It's cheap to use, a blast to shoot, and satisfies any airgunner that loves a gun made for action. Thanks Dave from pyramyd air for hepling me choose this airgun, I love it!

    Things I liked:

    When it shoots, I like the sound and FPS that the gun produces. It gets 2 stars because I like shooting it.

    Things I would have changed:

    I can't believe I payed a 140 bucks for this gun, I haven't tracked it down but I think I got it under a $100. If I knew what I know now, I wouldn't buy it for any price. I would like a version that didn't leak, didn't drain the batteries and was made from better materials. That said, I am still drawn to firing it. It is pretty cool when it works.

    What others should know:

    Since I own it now and I really like shooting it, I temporarily was weak and purchased the Air Venturi 13 cu in air tank to see if it changes things. At least I won't be buying anymore throw away Co2 cartridges. I will give an update after I get the tank.

    Things I liked:

    Well I just was cleaning out "junk crap" to throw out and found this again... it was an awesome gun "util it started leaking"... Think it lasted a few months...I called the company a FEW times with no luck...Then I did got a hold of someone there that TRIED to help...His first answer was like the others ""WE DON'T HAVE, OR SELL PARTS"" But about 30 mins later he found the schematics on it, to TRY and help me find the right size O-rings...But could NOT find them...I bought every single size O-ring that was EVEN CLOSE, to the ones that was in the gun from Ace Hardware, Lows, Home Dpot, ect ect...With NO luck...""Probably spent enough money on O-rings that I clouda bought another one of the guns "new"" It's not even worth trying to find my ""excited review", from when I first got the gun to post this review back on, SOOOOOO here it goes into the trash...

    Things I would have changed:

    Each one should be sold with a few sets of new O-rings, from Japan or China where ever there made..Because you can NOT find new O-rings for this gun in the USA apparently...And the manufacture tech department knows nothing...Sucks to make a product that you can not back up, even get parts for, and not even seam to care, about costumer ...I'll NEVER EVER buy a Umarex product, you can count on that............

    What others should know:

    NO PARTS so if it leaks 30 days after PA warranty runs out, just gotta throw the $140ish gun in the trash..And It can not be fixed...I tried for months....And the manufacture people are rude, and can care less, tell you straight out THERE ARE NO PARTS.......

    Things I liked:

    Excellant gun, unfortunately the seals in the gun go bad frequently. There is no way to shut off the CO2 cylinder after using the gun a couple times. You are forced to choose to waste the remaining portion of the CO2 by removing the cylinder. When you take the cylinder out the CO2 is wasted. This can be quite costly. The only other option is to leave it in which destroys the seals and you have to replace the gun. I am on my 4th gun.

    Things I would have changed:

    Put in a shut off valve to the CO2 to stop the damage to the gun or the wasting of the CO2 cartridge.

    What others should know:

    I have had to replace the gun each year.

    Things I liked:

    Electronics and solenoid should remove most of the issues plaguing the Storm and the Force. Somewhat of a DROZD BumbleBee equivalent given the 24 round "internal magazine" with nearly exactly the same controls and control values. At 1/3rd the price Hopper for quick "magazine" reloads. 88 gram for more shooting between changes; the "slow fire rate" (it seems slow compared to Force/Storm) fits well with keeping CO2 pressure up during bursts. Decent enough built in stock & also styling.

    Things I would have changed:

    Easier adaption to bulk CO2 as the 88/90 gram cartridges get expensive as much as one naturally blasts with this. Fire rate is far slower than the Force/Storm; while more reliable - people more naturally pick them up due to the fire rate. And with CA adapters there'd be no velocity drop off difference between the 88s and the Force/Storm 2x12gram.

    What others should know:

    PA can hook you up with an 88 to 1/8 male QD set of adapters; Plan carefully and drill through the stock so you can hook up CA. Shouldn't be too hard and still look good. Optionally drill and tap an 88/90 for 1/8 npt, install and match to stock, drill stock for QD male access, and have CA port with 88/90 as free adapter and reservoir . I think Sergey's Board for the Blackbird should work with this given the same power and similar electronic solenoid. Check out the BB Machine Gun Forums for it.

    Things I liked:

    The ability to shoot for a longer period before reloading is a plus. Having a choice of rate of fire is a bonus.

    Things I would have changed:

    The hopper door needs a positive latch. This eats batteries if don't remember to turn it of. A timed disconnect or a trigger disconnect from the power source of some sort would be nice. a bulk air feature would be good, or accessories made available at the time of interest or at least some information for the quick adaption. The sights need improvement. You can do better walking the round on target than actually using the stock sights and to improve them you will need to purchase an after market one.

    What others should know:

    This is a fun gun to shoot. Be prepared for some cost associated with using it.

    Things I liked:

    1. Highest velocity of all submachine bb guns. Tested with chronograph during 75F or warmer, I got reading 540fps. During cooler days 500-510fps. 2. This product is adapter friendly, I am using 12oz bottles / hundreds and hundreds of shoots! 3. Price and accuracy very reasonable.

    Things I would have changed:

    Could be more quiet. Is sounds just like powerful construction stapler.

    What others should know:

    Buy adapter and at least two 12oz bottles or larger ones. You will never regret that. I purchased also a compensator, but it was mistake. It silenced the gun only after using electrical tape but totally messed up the accuracy.

    Things I liked:

    Great features and reasonably priced.

    Things I would have changed:

    Seals could be better as after a year or so they start leaking the CO2 and this renders the gun useless.

    What others should know:

    This is my second purchase of the EBOS BB gun and my 3rd purchase of an air rifle from this company. The problem with the first two was that in a little over a year they started leaking the CO2. I am not sure where to get them fixed or if the cost to repair plus shipping would be worth it as opposed to just buying a new one.

    Things I liked:

    Much more accurate then it has a right to be. Lot of fun. Well made and powerful. It can be used to shoot 10 meter targets in single shot or destroy stuff in burst mode.

    Things I would have changed:

    Add full auto and larger magazine. Make the magazine easier to fill from the hopper.

    What others should know:

    Do not buy without the bulk fill adapter. Use at least a 12 oz bottle. One 88 gram cartridge will only shoot one hopper of ammo. It needs a decent red dot optic. The magazine is easier to fill if the hopper is only half full. Do not forget to put the switch in Safe (off) when you put it away or the batteries will be dead the next day. Or just remove the batteries. Try different methods to fill the magazine from the hopper until you find one that works the best. Have lots of ammo and CO2 on hand. This gun is a lot of fun and I am glad I bought it.

    Bought bundled item from PryamidAir.com with co2 adapter, 2x 12 oz prefilled CO2 tanks, walther ps22 red dot optic...I get close to 4 hoppers per 12 oz tank...I get close to 1 hopper per 88/90 gm cartridge. Effective 10-20 yds, Take time, Walther optic needs to be zero'd in and then seems very accurate. Especially for short smooth barreled weapon. Comes w open sights, but I didnt use them, went straight w red dot optics
