"This gun was great. The kick was awesome as well as the gas efficiency, mainly because it's co2. Only problems I had were the shape of the mags and the trigger pull. You actually have to try and pull the trigger when doing so. The mags kinda look stupid as well. I give this gun a 4.5/5 overall.

"I got this hoping it would be great for the price. I had watched multiple YouTube videos on it, and they seemed rather convincing. Over all it is a fantastic pistol for the price.
But, there is one MAJOR problem. I had this chronoed at my home field, and they said it shot too hard, which is 2.0 joules. So I was not allowed to use it sadly. But if your field has different joule requirements, I totally recommend this gun.

"I got this gun as a sidearm and it worked ok. The blowback is nice and the co2 cartridges last a lot of mags (5-8). But the big downfall is the range and trigger. The maximum range with .20 is like 40 ft and the trigger pull is so far back. As a backup it worked to get me out is some sticky situations in a cqb environment but and where else and you just don’t have the range.

"This gun can be good or bad depending on what you're wanting in a GBB.
If you're wanting a pistol that'll get the job done with no fuss but don't care about much else, this would be a good one for you. I haven't had any problems with its firing tendencies, and its fixed hop-up is at an alright setting. The magazine is reliable, and the CO2 never leaks. It's a nice size, and the orange tip is easy enough to cut off if you have the tools, if that's what you're wanting to do.
However, if you're wanting a pistol whose use will feel like a realistic experience (which you're more likely to be wanting; you're looking at GBBs), you won't find it in this gun. First of all, the shooting experience. The blowback is nice, but the clink it makes makes sounds like a hammer hitting a newborn anvil. You don't hear it at first, when the CO2 is highly pressurized, but as the CO2 gets low, all you hear is that clink. I and most don't mind it at all, but it sure isn't realistic. Also, the internals are protected by a piece of metal from the top, so you can't see inside with the slide racked. Not an issue for most, but not realistic for most. Finally, the magazines. They work, but they look very unrealistic, and I've heard of people accidentally breaking off the baseplates, which are the only thing that make it look good when in the gun. And the mags are awkward to fit in vests or pockets, which could be a problem for realism-attainers.
Decent gun; not as realistic as others.

"Mine was DEFECTIVE.
It shot 10 inches under target at 25 feet basically just lobbing the bbs.
My only conclusion was that the hop up wasn't engaging the bbs. I was using crosman 12g co2 and .20g match grade bbs, the same type of co2 and bbs I use in all my guns. An adjustable hop-up would have solved the problem.
I even bought this same gun on Amazon with the same result... DEFECTIVE. Only that one had bad wobble.
For only $15 more you can get the ASG CZ75 P-07 Duty, which is actually a pretty rock solid co2 gun. check out my review on that gun. (under CZ series pistols, $74.95)
This p99 makes an embarrassing clank sound when you shoot it. Its the sound of the slide going back. You can hear it more than the firing mechanism. It also doesn't lock back every time the magazine is out of ammo.
One more thing... The slide is so loose, it will move back just by forcing your hand too fast forward.
I gave it 1 star to negate the positive reviews, since I bought 2 and both were defective. One positive thing about this gun is that its James Bond's gun and if you're looking for a collectible replica, this one's not too bad. But for airsoft games I recommend you steer clear. Mine wasn't even good for target shooting.
Pros:
Looks NICE (James Bond's gun!)
No leaking
50/50 chance there's no wobble
Lasts long on one co2
Under 350fps w/ .20g bbs
Cons:
Loud clank sound
Bad quality control (2 out of 2 were defective for me)
Slide is loose and unreliable
Non-adjustable hop up
Non-adjustable sights
Unacceptable accuracy (shot 10 inches under target at 25 feet)
Can't open the package without destroying it (trust me, there's no way)
