Look, six round bursts

Make it work!

Unfortunately, the fun factor of this gun dies soon with the trigger issue. I purchased one and after several shooting sessions I started experiencing the same problems mentioned, firing multiple shots on single shot mode, and after each burst it would require re-cocking and eventually it would not fire at all. I returned it to PyramyrdAir and had the same problem with the replacement, so returned the replacment to Umarex and had the same problem with that one. Buyer beware as your mileage may vary.

Just a fun little toy - having a blast with it

Its an adult toy - so nothing

I like the look and feel of the gun. I also like the quality in how the gun is put together. I like the large rails for mounting accessories.

I find filling the clip from the reservoir completely is tricky sometimes.

Great air gun for the money.

MP4 look

better quality mechanism

I bought one of these as it is unique, but after less than a thousand shots the trigger stopped. It would not activate anymore. I took it apart only to see it was a horribly cheap sealed unit, not worth the $100-14S0 that these things sell for. BEWARE if you buy this gun it has a VERY short life span. It's really a cool design and fun as hell to shoot, just not too much, as it's just 2 sides clam shelled over a pot metal insert that is very unreliable.VERY CHEAP - Hopefully in the future Umarex will offer a better quality AR15 style semi/burst BB rifle. UPDATE: Stupid me. I bought another Umarex Steel Force BB rifle. But this time I'm removing the screw and lever on the selector switch after placing it on semi-auto. So now it won't be fired in 6-round burst. Hopefully this will extend the life of this CO2 gun as auto fire seems to wear out the trigger actuater quickly. https://drive.google.com/open?id=15DMTlrxttnrmUdXYHg5pPzPPQwVXvRIw https://drive.google.com/file/d/15l9cK-O97I0pf-ZJ3S_X5-M9uIW68SwS/view?usp=sharing

Everything about it is awesome

Full metal would be nice

Buy lots of ammo

great gun needs alittle help at first but works good . i think the fps is alittle lower than they say

needs a dot sight included and get the 10 for 10 deal...

Powerful and fairly accurate in single mode. Burst is just awesome, 5 pulls to empty mag.

How u load the mag

Excellent value looks ridiculously like the real thing

Had 3 none worked

Bad design

Looks cool , accurate, fun to shoot....

Better build, better quality, stronger more reliable mechanism, not so cheaply made would be worth the price. This steel Force dies quickly, OVER-PRICED JUNK:

The 6 round bursts ,accurate,reliable.good use of CO2 cartridges

Better feeding of bb hate having to shake it.

I was afraid to buy it some bad reviews,but I wanted the gun, have put over 8000 bbs with zero problems,I hate having to shake gun to get mag full,good shot count from co2 cartridges.well made,the most important to me fantastic amount of fun shooting it with my son

NOTHING...! looks good, Functions Terribly...!

Internal Design! make it went you pull the trigger it Fires...!

I Think it's a piece of JUNK!!! My Second Replacement...!

The rail system is great. Folding sights are fairly accurate at 10 yard range I use my CO2 weapons on. Plenty of power with it's dual cartridges. 300 round reservoir is nice. Good size and collapsible stock.

would be nice if some adjustment on sights, but would probably kick up price. Sling rings would be nice.

Rails are good for my compact laser and tactical flashlight. Most fun I have had with a BB gun and all friends love shooting it. Can't use 6 shot bursts too quickly because CO2 will get cold and lose power for a while.

Nice looking and well-handling bb repeater - until it malfunctioned.

This gun appears to have a quality issue. I received one and it soon began firing multiple shots on single shot mode, and after each burst it would require re-cocking. Soon it would fire continuously even on single shot mode - again requiring re-cocking after each time. PyramydAir allowed me to return it for an exchange, and the second one malfunctioned just as the first one did. PyramydAir allowed me to exchange that one too, and the third one malfunctioned in the same way. I then called PyramydAir and the customer service person said that if there was a problem with these guns they would know about it, so for my isolated issue there wasn't anything they could do. (If I got three in a row that malfunctioned I'm pretty surprised that they haven't heard about this.) I'm going to return the third one for refund. This seems like it would be a great gun if it worked - I wish one of the three I tried did.

The gun was accurate and really nice for the first few shots, but the single shot mode began malfunctioning after that on three consecutive guns. Maybe I somehow got three bad ones in a row and the others are all fine - but then again maybe there is a quality issue with this gun. I really wish I could have found one that didn't malfunction.

very nice 6 shot burst has never jammed even when really cold

Update from my review of 12-26-14: DO NOT BUY. Honestly, it pains me to have to write this review. This gun is extremely fun to shoot. It does operate just as described. However, it is utterly unreliable. The first unit we received broke just outside the warranty period. To the credit of Umarex, they honored the warranty and sent us a new one. I can only suspect they did this due to the fact we were literally days outside the warranty. The second unit didn't fair any better. In fact, this one had the additional problem of the CO2 magazine leaking. No amount of pelgun oil can seal this leak. The problem is the trigger fails to reset. I suspect the forces involved are too great for the trigger sear to handle. This gun basically self destructs. Again, I painfully retract my previous review. I do not recommend buying this.

Every internal part involved with the firing mechanism. Also, Umarex refuses to sell replacement/extra magazines. The mag is where the CO2 cylinders are installed. If you have a faulty one that leaks, well Umarex refuses to help you out. They wouldn't even sell me one.

Again, I cannot recommend this gun. While it lasted, my young son and I enjoyed it very, very much. It simply in not built well enough to last. It really is a shame...

I would have enjoyed the size and the adjustable stock were great.

There are reliability issues with these guns that need to be addressed.

There are mixed reviews for this one but I tried one anyway but got a bad one. If you get a good one they must be great. But a lot of us have had multiple issues. Mine would go full auto intermittently in single shot mode. Every few shots would produce a very loud bang then the next shot would be normal. The velocity of the bb's was inconsistent. Both of my Daisy BB guns shoot very much better than this one. I was shooting inside the house and finally started timing 3 minutes between shots just to see if I could get it to group better but had no luck. I was using a red dot site at about 13 feet with a rest and it was shockingly innacurate. Going full auto in the house while trying to do this was very unnerving!!

The adjustable stock is great. It can go from fitting me to my son in a flash. The 6 round burst mode is really fun. LOL buy a lot of bb's because this thing is super fun to shoot. What a great plinking rifle. I also appreciate the 300 round capacity reservoir, it makes reloading a breeze.

Include a red dot scope with it. The open sights are quite inaccurate.

Accuracy with open sights is a drawback, so make sure to buy at least a red/green dot scope. It makes for some super fun shooting.

Faithful reproduction. Good heft and feel.

Nothing really. Sights are a bit off, but a red dot fixed that.

This gun is a hoot! Love the burst mode! Actually scared myself the first time I fired a burst!! Somewhat loud, but that adds to the realism. Spent an hour and a half in the yard before I knew it. Chewed and shredded all paper and cardboard targets. Gives you an immense feeling of power. But it for looks, and buy it for fun!! Yeehaw!!

Well the first, thing i like about the gun is that it is an very accurate gun, for sure. shoot fine nice kick power.

Well i would make wear you can load the BB's into the clip,an make the co2 be in the back of the grip of the gun.

Make every shot count,an all ways respect your PDW.

6 round burst is fun. Easily moddable to full-auto if you can follow easy internet instructions. 2 CO2s mean more shots before refills. Unlike some others, I like the 400 round BB reservoir. No magazines to change or have anything extra to carry. Just load it up, and you can wander around your backyard plinking for 400 rounds with one load. Has plenty of picatinny accessory rails. Stock extends and locks. Looks cool, great gift for a young teen (under adult supervision of course). Not much to offer adult airgun collectors except it's fun to go play around with.

Cheap, light plastic, no blowback, operation is semi realistic. Ejector mud cover is fake, so is slide release, and slide. Charging handle works, but gun keeps firing when out of bbs. It's not built very well.

For the money, it's a good time to just hose down tin cans. But not for training or serious shooting.
