I love the six round burst feature.

Nothing.

Once Co2 starts to run low the sound it makes gets lower.

What can you say about a gun that is semi and full auto. I have both the Steel Force and Steel Storm and have to say that this is my favorite BB plinker. Despite how much plastic there is, I like it because it is light and yet still realistic. Accuracy is really good when you use an add on site and power level is plenty enough. Full auto is a trip and very fast!

Larger built in BB magazine. Goes quick in full auto. Sites are really cheesy but if the gun were perfect, you would be paying a lot more.

I have a UTG tactical Dot Site 1X30 on this gun and it is perfect and extremely accurate when shooting indoors. I have this dialed in where at 30ft, I can get a BB grouping within 1.5 inches. Because the BB's go so quick, I suggest you use a funnel, one small enough to fit into the loading chamber when loading so that you can poor and fill quickly without spilling.

Nice gun for the money. works great. Pretty accurate for a smooth bore. I like the 6 round burst. lots of shots per co2 fill.

needs a bigger hole between the BB reservoir and the magazine. sometimes it's hard to get the bb's to fall in magazine.

Seen a few negative reviews about this gun so I got the 10 for $10 deal. Mine works great, already a couple thousand rounds through it with no problems at all. I don't have any reservations about buying anything form Pyramyd air. If it's not right, They make it right!! You WON'T find better customer service or anyone more dedicated to customer satisfaction than Pyramyd Air.

I like that you can add AR15 accessories to this air rifle. I have added a Magpul stock, angled fore grip, and rail panels. I also added a single point sling mount and sling to the buffer tube. To top it off I added a ACOG style scope. I probably spent to much money tricking it out since it is only a hundred dollar air rifle, but I had fun doing it.

It would be nice if Umarex offered a full metal version. I would pay another hundred to a hundred and fifty for a full metal version.

Well, I have not shot mine yet. I know, it is for shooting, but I enjoy it as an inexpensive replica.

The Steel Force, with the six round burst, is just plain fun.

Nothing.

I bought an extra Co2 magazine but haven't needed it. You'll get quite a few BB's down range on one magazine.

I really enjoy the gun, the price is right, it's real accurate for what it is, it impress me, I enjoy firing that rifle. At this time I have not fired enough rounds through it to really check it out sorely, but it's a lot of fun

I am enjoying this weapon as it is, it is only for enjoyment I don't expect it to be like the real thing, so with that in mind I really don't see any need to change anything about it, its for my enjoyment, but larger CO2 cartridges would make it a lot more fun and more shooting time available for us

Lots of to shot made well also has a some Recoil

Less ABS more Metal Better way to load

I think this air gun is a must. Very high intimidation factor especially after I mounted a CenterPoint 1x25 Tactical Scope. This gun is just plane fun to shoot. I read the reviews before I bought it some people had problems however I had no problems. The 6 shot burst makes this air gun awesome and 2 Co2 cartridges was a great idea. I have many air guns several well over $300.00 accurate and powerful beyond words. Serious air power but none are as much fun to shoot as this one. I am 55 years old and this air gun makes me feel like a kid once again that alone makes it worth every penny

Everything about this gun I like

Its a BB gun don't expect to hit targets at 50 yards. If your looking to impress your friends with something really cool this is the ticket. My advice take the risk of something going wrong and buy one. Its a very low price for so much fun. And throw a red dot scope on it

I read the other reviews. I'm sorry some folks had problems HOWEVER for my dime this gun is awesome. if it lasts me 6 months I'll be satisfied and I'll buy another. The fun factor is just off the scale. My wife who doesn't care much for my hobby of air guns ( probably because of the hundreds I spend ) Even she said it was really cool. Most of my air guns I have several hundred invested (serious shooter) accurate and powerful beyond words but none are this much fun

Steel Force could use a little more steel. And if they could incorporate a 3rd Co2 cartridge in the magazine that would rock as well ( I know that's asking a lot ) maybe go to a 8 or 10 round burst

Read all reviews I did and because of them I will take great care with this gun.Oil it when necessary clean it and store it carefully

Easy to use, FUN to shoot.

Hard to get a good sight picture, but manageable with a little practice.

It's a great gun for the money. It runs well and the dual CO2 cartridges last a reasonable number of rounds. Each rating category gets an "excellent". Your system would not hold the excellent rating in the three categories until I hit "click to submit".

I wish the large magazine was lined so the bb's don't rattle as much. A sling mount would be helpful.

If you want a full-auto (6 round bursts), fun bb gun, this is it. Buy CO2 to match the number of bb's you buy and vice versa. Since the range is somewhat limited, I'm not sure I need the red dot scope. It's cool also, but you have to remember to turn it off to avoid killing the battery.

The gun was fun while it worked.Wife even liked it.Problem is that it worked for a day and a half..

Make it easier to load and make one that will last longer then a day and a half..

Save you money for something else..

I love this gun! It fires in semi-auto and burst but I shoot it mostly in burst. I'm shooting at 10 to 15 feet and the thing will chew out a 10 ring regularly. Great for a BB gun. I've tried 2 different red dot point of aim sights (sighting them on semi-auto of course) and the thing works like a champion.

Maybe a fake silencer for it hust so it looks even more nasty.

Buy lots of BBs!. I shoot into a cardboard box stuffed with magazines and catalogs (and even recover a lot of the BBs as they don't flatten out usually. Just have plenty on hand to use the auto burst function.

It has a pretty good grouping and the price

More metal parts

Worked great when it was working. I only got two rounds of shooting out of the first gun. Just received the replacement from Pyramid and it doesn't work at all.

LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS I PURCHASED THIS GUN BASED ON THE POSITVE REVIEWS AND SURE ENOUGH GOT 2 DUDS.

PYRAMYD SHOULD BE EMBARRASED TO SELL THIS GUN WITH IT'S FAILURE RATE PLEASE ASK UMAREX TO FIX THE ISSUE OR STOP SELLING IT. IT'S A SHAME TO AS A CANADIAN CUSTOMER ITS ONE OF THE ONLY AR STYLE BB GUN'S THAT WE CAN PURCHASE WITH EASE.

The look of the gun right off the back is very nice.trigger pull is good and the burst function is mega cool.

There has to be a better way of loading bbs then shake n bake

On burst mode youll lose fps rapidly,quite accurate on single shot ,u get a bit of spray n pray on burst but still not bad

I'm a retired NYS gunsmith with twenty years experience. This is one of fourteen assorted replica firearms I've purchased from Pyramyd Air and like all the others the quality, the price, the realism, and the attention to detail is exceptional.

Nothing

This replica is the next best thing to the original firearm.

Way cool! Just got it sighted well even with fixed sights. Got it in bundle pack with red dot scope it was a killer combo. Make sure you have a lot of BBs. I feel it uses CO2 at a fair level. Got several 100 shots before I started to drop on accuracy.Sights are set out around 40 ft but that works well with scope you can flip up sights and still use them looking thru scope.

BBs are a little tuff to shake into push rail. You can get faster with it with a little practice. A little more metal this is a good gun and I feel it deserves more than a nice plastic body.

Even with 2 CO2s it still tends to freeze up and lose pressure with rapid fire. Lots of fun good one to add to any collection.

Expanding AR 15 type stock,military look,lots of mods avalible,co2 tank can be added with adapter.

More metal would give the gun a more realistic feel sights could be improved.

It's better to use a Red Dot or another type scope than depend on the standard sight.

AR styling, ROF, accuracy

Add a second CO2 holder to the package for quicker change-out (see my comments).

This is a great way to scratch the "full auto" itch without the NFA hassle and the $$$. Aside from the lighter weight, the weapon feels and acts like the real deal. Sound is on a level with a suppressed MP5. At 20 feet, it will punch through both sides of a tin can. Not one of those wussy aluminum things - a real tin can. Accuracy is excellent for a FA smoothbore - 1" groups at 20 feet are common. Warning - if you order one of these, go ahead and order bunches of BB's and CO2 cylinders - it's so much fun to shoot that you will go through both really quickly. :) Also, and this is true with Umarex's other FA, Steel Storm, after you exhaust the CO2 cylinders, allow a few minutes for the rubber O ring in the cylinder pack to return to room temperature. If you don't, you may damage it - the ring expands when cold and the nipple that fits into the throat will cut into it. Other than that - have a ball!!
