   The word Awesome is used far too liberally in this country, IMHO. So I’m reluctant to use the word Awesome about this bb Machine Pistol. However,….this is Awesome. I have had a .22 (semi auto, FAC) of this gun, so I can say that the weight, feel, looks and overall impression of this bb is spot on. I’ve fitted a sling and bought some magazine pouches to add to the feel. A word of caution, you will want extra mags. The mag takes 30 bb’s and there is no winding up of the mags. The rate of fire is about the same as the real thing, approx. 8.5 bb per second, that is approximately 3.5 secs to empty the mag. on rapid fire, ( there is no single shot option ). You get about 4 mags, thats approx. 120 shots on two Co2 capsules, which is not bad considering the gas has to blowback as well as propel the bullets. It’s the blowback that puts this MP out in front. It’s a fair old rattle and gives an element of recoil ( relatively speaking).It’s also faster than my two Thompson AEG’s and no batteries to charge. I’m not a Skirmisher, so the rapid rate of fire may be too fast for that game, but in the back garden it’s…awesome. Just fill a few balloons with talc. The Co2 power is good for about 40 meters, but this is a point and fire, not a target rifle, so accuracy is not an issue. The speed loader works well, once you’ve figured out how it fits, and it’s an essential piece of gear, I don’t think you could load the mags without it. You may have to tape the nozzle on, as it’s a slack fit.
   You also have to empty the Co2 capsules completely before you can remove them…as the internal pressure prevents removal of the piercing screw, an Allen key is supplied. With all this fast moving action it’ll be interesting to see how long it last before issues arise. In the meantime…What’s not to like…… And it looks good on the wall.
