Page 8 - Barra 400E Gen 2 Reviews

I am so impressed with the 400E! Finally, something I bought does exactly what it claims it will do and then some! All I can say is, "WOW!"

This rifle is awesome! I grew up with spring-loaded lever action daisy single shot rifles in the 1970's & 80's. Always loved plinking, but have since transitioned to real firearms for my target shooting. But as gun owners know, between the ammo, targets, range fees, and travel time it can be an inconvenient & expensive hobby. Then this full auto, fully electric model came on the market and I had to get it. Luckily my family got it for me. I am back to sitting in the backyard terrorizing paper targets and making cans dance...and I feel 12 again. Plus no Co2 cartridges to buy or swap! BB's, some electricity, and you are ready to rock! PROS: - Extremely economical to use (essentially only the cost of BBs) - Accurate, at 50' I can shoot 2-3" diameter groups on semi-auto, and its my first day. Accuracy does not seem to degrade on full auto. - 50 round mags beats most other stock airgun mag in capacity. However on full auto you wish there was a drum option. - Solidly built, feels substantial - Quiet enough for backyard full auto target shooting without ticking off the neighbors CONS: - THE SPEEDLOADER! How could an item so critical to the 400e's use, be so difficult to use...and hard to buy spares. Nice job on the gun barra, but keep working on the loader design & availability. - No battery & charger included with the already pricey gun. - The price, twice what a Co2 run gun would cost. - Power is adequate for most plinking and target shooting at backyard ranges, but struggles when trying to move reactive target. Would love to see a power upgrade in the future. Overall, this gun is well-designed and a blast to use. Any backyard plinker would be excited to give it a try...and I can see many hours of my future spent alone and with buddies blasting targets, cans, plastic bottles and anything else we can rig up, while competing for bragging rights.

Awesome purchase. All metal, the weight is there and super fun to play with. Bought a sight, laser/flashlight and grip, used picatinny to mount them (sold separate). I'm basically Rambo now. 10/10!!

At age 54, this is the best gift I've bought myself in many years. This is great fun - as a kid all I ever wanted was a gun that I could shoot to my desire. Pump bb guns were one and done. Co2 guns were expensive to shoot and cartridges didn't last long. This 400e satisfies both issues. Works great - sighting is accurate - targets and cans are no match. Great fun and looks awesome, cheap to operate. What else could you ask for? Maybe more designs using the electric platform? All my friends want one . . .

Super realistic looking. Like that it’s actually based off the AR platform. It’s heavy. Only drawback would be the delay on the trigger pull. Super fun overall.

Great to rifle but the speed loader isn’t that good

Great rifle right out of the box! Fun to shoot and easy to get the hang of! If you like plinking around i recommend thisfor you!!

I have no quarrels with the Barra 400E other than you're not able to tell when the magazine in full. It is extremely fun to shoot at all kinds of targets. The battery lasts for around 20 magazines. It's not the most powerful BB gun I've ever shot, but you can you shoot at about any target you want to. If you want a well made, easy to use, and all around fun BB gun I would recomend this product. 👍

The video was exactly correct. Fantastic gun and built real solid. Shoots very smooth and accurately. A novice can enjoy as well as advanced shooters.

So far little over 4000 rounds and this bb gun is a blast. i changed the sites with a red dot and it made a difference. I loved the idea of not dealing with CO2 and this 400E delivers. I cant speak for durability but im sure i will know with in the new few months as ive only had it for a week or so and 4000rd so i should have 20k-30k rounds with in the next few months. I noticed the handle where houses the motor get pretty worm when used in full auto but i assume its normal due to constant use (Full Auto). If anything i will update with a YouTube video

So i bought the 400e a couple months ago and when I first got it there was a defect in it and it didn’t went to fire correctly. Since then I have been able to get a new gun thanks to the wonderful customer service!! I love that new gun and I can’t say enough things about it. Totally recommend but don’t hesitate to reach out to customer service if something doesn’t seem right.

I bought the 400e for my 30 yr old son as a surprise birthday gift. He's a gun enthusiast and has everything from a .22 , 9mm, 45, 12 ga, to AR and AK but nothing like the 400e. Loves pinging with it and ammo is a lot cheaper. Only negative was the sites are not adjustable and were WAY off. He put a red dot site on it and now it's spot on.

Seems to be very well made,is very accurate and functions well.

Magazine is way to small and needs to hold more. The BB loader is terrible and unfortunately you are stuck with it, TheBB loader really detracts from the value of this BB gun.

The gun is great! Great long life battery and flawless shooting.

I would make the gun more milspec, so I could change the grip, buttstock and other parts.

Be patient with the bb reloaded. It's not perfect but also not a reason to not buy this bb gun.

I bought the rifle on the fly on a recommendation from a friend. I have owned air powered ones but never a battery powered one. It shoots fast, accurate and quiet! the weight is very very nice and feels close to the real thing from what i remember. My only issues are one of the magazines internals pulls out of the metal casing and the speed loader jams nonstop.

I waited a month to write my review, after I had put several thousand rounds through my gun. In my personal opinion, this is the best BB gun I have ever shot. The gun itself has worked flawlessly; the speed loader, however, could certainly be improved. I have shot the gun with several of my older friends, and they also seemed very impressed and will likely be purchasing their own guns soon. I know I will be ordering another gun for family shoots.

made well, like the feel

better loader, more rounds in clip

Great gun! Could be a little stronger (fps), but for the price it's fun. Definitely recommend it!

All my life I've wanted a repeating air rifle this one's great, I'm ,,85

This BB gun is beyond fun. If you're wanting to have some great time's like you were a kid again, with your kids!! Buy this gun already! I have been waiting for something like this to come to market, a battery powered BB gun and here we are. Everything they say about this is so true, hours and hours of endless fun. Add a few extra clips and a couple batteries and let the gun begin. Super simple, very easy to use and endless fun for you and your family. Great starter gun to train your kids how to shoot safely, and practice gun safety with them. Like I said hours of endless air tank/CO2/pump free, long reliable good hassle free fun!! Treat yourself and your family, you won't regret it!!
