What a fun BB gun! And quite accurate for a pistol. I added a front grip and a low power scope and it is so much fun.

Right out of the box fun. Very accurate single shot or burst. For the price you you cant have enough fun. My wife had a simle on her face as she shot the gun. Love that 2 co2 keys were included with the gun. This would be a great Christmas present for familt members. The neighboor saw me shooting and wants one too.

I would change nothing

everyting is kool nice trigger nice rails heavy and pretty loud

make it automatic

The power,the look,the feel,and the life like action of the gun, and even more so if you add the optional bottles.This bb-gun exceeded my expectations by far.

About the only way to improve this gun would be things like match grade trigger and sights,and optional barrels to convert into a air rifle with maybe a folding stock

Don't forget that it isn't a real gun and slap the clip in too hard. It looks as if it could be damaged this way in its sealing area if you used excessive force sliding the clip home.

more ooomph out the front end than I expected, particularly the six shot burts.

The slide open port to add bulk bb's is too small, so is't not easy to use without spilling bb's all over the place.

its pretty accurate shoots alot on just two co2 cartridges

would like to shoot from larger capacity clip if you will

really great deals and 6 shots burst.

full metal body.

remember to follow the manual said that take off the co2 magazine if you store it for awhile, otherwise you may damage the O-ring.

i like that it is alot of fun to shoot!

some sort of factory stock or accessory stock would be cool.

Uses alot of air, but this is to be expected due to the rapid rate of fire.

I'm 74 yrs old and having a great time shooting this bb gun. I like every thing about it.

I would change nothing about it.

Love the gun ez to load use and shoot Plastic but solid

Maybe make a more metal one just for the real metal feel....a little more weight

compare the price with other CO2 pistol, it is really good deal and especially the 6 rds burst which like the full auto machine gun. You won't regret to purchase this gun although its body is plastic but inside the air ssystem was metal.

The hole from BB reservoir which dropped the BB into the built-in magazine may be little bigger cause when you fill in about 300 rds to the BB reservoir, it really hard to shake the BB in.

Please follow the manual regarding to take out the CO2 magazine for storing the gun cause i already replace a new O-ring from my new gun.

Lots of fun to shoot. Great gun for the price. Fairly accurate.

Nothing I can think of.

Good idea to wear eye protection.

Burst mode. Handling. Cost.

None.

Get the CO2 adapter kit. The small CO2 cartridges are not enough. You only get about 300 rounds and it affects accuracy as the CO2 runs low.

Great Gun! Lots of fun! Excellent power & accuracy. Large ammo capacity. Good CO2 life. Added both a red dot & a laser sight which improved accuracy & the look of the gun. Have had no jams after about 600 rounds.

Nothing to change

The gun is loud for a BB gun. Hearing protection may be in order.

Its modern look, its built in magazine and bbs storage, its accuracy and ease of operation, its low price at pyramydair.com, its durability and made in Japan...Its use of inexpensive CO2 and steel bbs.

add a removable stock, a foregrip, a dot sight and laser to make the gun look cool

Buy a lot of CO2 and steel bbs. Built a bb trap, use a magnet to collect and reuse those bbs. (not rec. by manufacturer)

So far it works pretty good. Easy to load. Fairly accurate. #300 shots on the CO2 cylinders.

Can't think of any. Works good the way it is.

Continuous firing, especially in 6 round bursts, will make the CO2 cartridges very cold. May cause misfiring.( the same thing happens on paintball guns.)

The over all rating is very good.However,the co2 cartridge release needs to be cleaner - it locks up & sticks,I had to apply Crosman Penngun oil to finally get the unit to come free.

Over All,Excellent.

Safety First,remember your safety glasses!

6 round burst mode. 2 CO2 cartridge capacity (got around 200 rounds per two carts).

Make provision for a butt stock - this would be huge for improving target shooting. It's a little awkward to hold and aim out of the box.

BBs come out so fast in burst mode, it's almost like a BB shot gun. But you can sweep the barrel and spray the BBs in an arc. I put a fore grip on for a more stable grip. Unfortunately, that takes up space where you could mount a laser. Mounted a red dot right away, as I'd heard that the open sights are all but useless. Sighted it in with fresh CO2. Noticed that as the CO2 became more & more depleted, the BBs shot more & more to the left, so I had to keep adjusting the red dot. Elevation was unchanged. Shot from around 30-40 feet.
We suspended some cans of pop from a string and shook em up, then nailed 'em with the Steel Storm - lots of fun to see 'em spin around spraying pop.
Just to confirm that the open sights were no good, I set up 5 3-1/4" tin cans and paced off 15 yards. Shot at the cans in semi-auto mode with only the open sights. Hit every one with no misses! So at 45', the open sights worked quite well.
This was a great purchase for the money and intended purpose - FUN! My 11 year old son loved it too.

nice product

Shape could be more reallistic. The presentation and materials, must be more real. It is noted as the plastic toy gun.

no

The most fun I've ever had with a bb gun!!

I don't like how the front sight slides open to load the hopper. The gun is all plastic and if you dropped it, it would probably break, but then for the price, what do you really expect?

Uses quite a bit of Co2. Some people suggest getting the bulk tanks, but according to my calculations, if you buy the 100 pack of the 12 gram cartridges, it's actually cheaper (unless you really shoot ALOT and get all the refill stuff for home).
