Very accurate excellent Bench Gun One inch groups at 50 yds in .22 2 inches in .177. Increased muzzle brake weight and heavy base creates tremendous stability

Trigger pull is too long and weight too high. Gun is too heavy and too bulky to take hunting .Add a .22 option.

This gun is made by Shanghai air rifles and shares identical parts with the Beeman RS2 because of this it is posssible to use a barrel off any Beeman RS2 type rifle .I have done this and now have a gun that shoots both .22 and .177. I have added a heavy muzzle brake and it is one of my most accurate air rifles.I prefer it in .22 caliber. The trigger seems more harsh than in the average RS2 and I wonder if Black Ops was responding to lawyers on that.

This gun looks good, is very powerful and very accurate. It's indeed a very good tactical looking gun. Some aspects of this gun are of good quality while others makes you have second thoughts about it. The way it cocks and closes, the silencer that really works, the trigger, and the overall looks are very good points. This gun can literally disintegrate an empty bottle of beer from 50 yards away and shooting a paper target as soon as I zeroed the scope I could put 5 shots in the same ragged hole at 25 yards. In the end this is a very nice and pleasant gun to shoot and because of that I'm going to give it 5 stars. As for the not so good aspects...

This gun is manufactured in China, but nowadays everything is made in China. As much as I can tell the product is designed and conceived in China and not under license of any US or European company, so it was some sort of a lottery acquiring this particular gun. Somehow I was hoping to have in my hands one of the good products that come from that side of the world. I'm not sure yet. That will depend on the evolution of events. I didn't like the scope and immediately substituted a different and more powerful one. One of the hollow screws that attach the bipod to the gun was completely stripped and that was a very big annoyance and absolutely unacceptable in a new gun. Makes you wonder about quality control. Knowing about the PyramydAir policy I knew I could immediately send the gun back, but I hate to send anything back so I tried to find a different solution. I went to Lowe's and Home Depot and I could find nuts that would fit and hold the bipod in place but those nuts are silver and not black (as a tactical gun should be) and that destroys the overall look of this particular gun and the looks are a very strong point considering you are buying a replica of a military gun. I contacted the manufacturer (or the company that represents it in the US) and I'm waiting for an answer from them. I shall make an update to this review when I have news. If they ever answer me.

I could not measure the speed of the pellet as I don't have a device for that, but I'm sure the velocity is pretty decent. Surely no less than 1.000 fps. The advertized velocity of the projectile is supposed to be 1.250 fps but it has probably measured with alloy pellets and not lead.
Although it's not mentioned on the description of the gun, or if you compare it to any other you can't see any point out about it, there is an automatic safety that engages every time you cock the gun. According to the manual and what I could understand from what says in the box, this gun uses what is called "Power Piston Technology" and it's gas powered and not spring powered. This gun has a very strong recoil but it's relatively easy to get used to it.
If I can solve the stripped screw problem I may say that this gun was a very good deal.
