A truly well designed BB gun. It can fire nearly all of its 300 BB holding capacity with the two 12-gram CO2 cartridges it holds. Install the optional bulk CO2 handling attachment and you can shoot BBs all day. Accuracy is good out to about 20 feet, and is decent (for fun use) to 40 feet. It is noisy without some sort of sound deadening, but many owners like that sound level. I've shot about 2000 BBs so far with no jamming. The CO2 assembly is easily removed to save partially used powerjets and yet not maintain pressure on seals in the gun. Easy to refill the 30 shot receiver from the internal resevoir with a few shakes of the gun. Has worked well with Crosman copper coated, Daisy zinc coated, and Air Venturi dust devil BBs. Tremendous fun in 6-shot burst mode. Can quickly knock down a row of cans or other targets. Kids (of all ages) love it. It puts a smile on the face of everyone who tries it.

I wish there was an aftermarket carbine stock for it. And a professional way to add a moderator. I fashioned a simple 2 foot moderator/ muzzle extension from PVC pipe tucked between the end of the barrel and surrounding muzzle.

One complaint is that the front sight that slides to enable BB filling can slide open by accident and spill BBs. That is easily fixed with a rubber band stretched from the muzzle to the rear of the sight to hold it in place. Adding a foregrip and laser pointer improves accuracy.

plenty of power

difficult to aim at target

i like the way it looks and how it handles.. good weight...nice all around fun

could use a fore grip

has bit of a spray action when on 6round burst ..but still fun to shoot..in single shot mode threw sights ...on target..

The look, feel, and full auto feature sells itself. Awesome product.

Nothing

Get a lot of CO2 cartridges and BBs and enjoy!

The gun is an excellent choice for the Price. However, This is the third Steel Storm I have purchased. Two previous ones needed repair and Pyramid Air is totally useless when it comes to supporting their products. You cannot e-mail them for a quote on repair and if you call the number provided you are put on hold forever and can't talk to anyone.

I would buy (actually I will) products from some other vendor. One that supports the products they sell.

Lord forbid you need a repair on anything you buy from Pyramid Air

Gun has a ton of power a real,blast as long as it last.

Make this gun to last longer

Fun gun BUT it only last so long the trigger went after a month of using it make this gun better quality.

The airgun is great, everything we expected. We are having a lot of fun with it!

My husband would've liked a way to attach a sling.

Far so far no problems yet

One shot and 6 shot shot switch is backwards

fun but mine broke right away and PA took care of it

nothing

full auto is a blast but these are junk don't last very long at all like the 200.00 mp 40 short lived junk

INCLUDE REPAIR MANUALS AND PARTS I WILL NEVER BUY UMAREX JUNK AGAIN THE MONEY WASTED WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A NICE PCP MADE BY ANYONE ELSE UMAREX DONT CARE ONCE THEY GOT THEIR MONEY

YOU ARE ALL ALONE WHEN IT COMES TO AIRGUN REPAIR WHO WANTS TO GO TO POST OFFICE AND MAIL A GUN IN FOR REPAIR ?GUNSHOPS WONT REPAIR THEM THIS IS NOT AN OPINION BUT TRUE FACTS THANK YOU

Awesome little fun gun for out at the farm . I bought one then bought another as a gift. Both are great and fun to shoot

Not much change is needed

Every once in a while everybody needs to rock and roll!

Tighten up on the reliability.

Loading is finicky. When loading the bulk magazine I spilled a lot of BBs trying to pour them into the small opening. Refilling the internal 30-shot magazine frequently takes a bunch of rocking, tilting, and shaking to get it to fill.

Really fun before it dies in a few months.

Quality control...these do not last

First one broke in a few weeks. Second one stopped shooting single. No problem.
Then it stops working altogether. Trigger does nothing. So, so frustrating.

Plan on a short fun time and get the repair policy because it will break. Not IF....

Great look and feel. Surprisingly powerful l, accurate, and the loudness adds to the positive feeling of this handgun.

Would have used a bit more metal in the construction of the gun. The Steel Storm contains no steel unless you are referring to ammo. After about 4 weeks of use, i have to rearm the pistol after every shot. When i first got it i could get several rounds off without having to cock it.

Sometimes when set on automatic it will fire about six shots and then you have to recock it. After a month of use I find that i have to do this after every single round fired. His needs to be corrected

I LOVE THE ACCURACY for a hand gun. For small varmints it works really well at short distance. The varmints now take a wide berth around my yard! They use to laugh at me as my other hand gun was so inaccurate!

It does seem to jamb, but pretty easy to un jamb. Also pretty heavy for a hand gun but manageable.

Easy loading

Magazine spring.

Incredibly fast ROF. Loud. Impact similar to real slug/

Nothing.ms

I have the Co2 bottle hookup and I gotta tell you this thing is a blast.

I am someone who owns plenty of real firearms and shooting this in my basement keeps me satiated until I can get to a range :)

PRICE, ergonomics, style, feel, accuracy, POWER. This baby throws those BBs pretty darn hard. Excellent use of gas for the number of BBs dispensed. Accepted a green laser dialed it in in no time and couldnt buy enough gas and BBs to satisfy my desire.

Slightly tighter bore or else I need to try another brand of BB. The Hornady Black Diamonds roll out of the barrel quite often when shaking the gun to refill the magazine. Offer in Desert Tan and OD Green. Throw some HI-VIZ fiber optics in the sights, super inexpensive upgrade that adds to the overall package. Maybe a couple quick detach points for a sling. Not to make it more tactical but to hang it off your side when changing CO2 cartridges and refilling the resevoir. Nothing worse then dropping your new treasure while fumbling with gas keys and BB bottles.

Only that this firearm should be outlawed because it is too much fun.
There may be an opioid crisis in America, but if everyone in this country had one of these nobody would go to work and they would have to be surgically removed from our hands. Spent all day with family and every last member couldnt stop laughing at the fact they were running an automatic firearm just like at the county fair or in the movies.

Very awesome B.B. gun

Nothing

Buy lots of bbs and lots of co2 you will need it.

Awesome piece,lots of fun. Enjoy the double Co2+. Excellent service!

All good!
