"Pros:
working grip safety
semi & auto available
working hammer simulation
EBB!
very accurate at short range
w/rechargeable AAA's a lot of use & low TCO
gentle on gel targets
Cons:
low power; can't penetrate paper targets -- use gel target
sights/hop up not adjustable but accurate anyway
battery compartment springs are poorly designed!
overall:
very light trigger -- it's a pro or con depending on your taste. I'd prefer a stronger trigger pull for training.
fun with gel targets
potential problem to look out for:
If you put in batteries and it doesn't work, it's probably not broken. It's a design problem. The springs at the bottom might not touch the small (pos) end of the batteries. I fixed this by carefully taping aluminum foil to the pos (+) end of 2 batteries, to make more contact surface at the bottom.
TLDR:
EBB with these features good value, accurate, fun w/gel target, but battery compartment is finicky.

"This is actually pretty accurate for close range (10yds or less) plinking indoors.
I've been shooting these little foam targets:
https://www.evike.com/products/88330/
It's actually a lot of fun when you can't get outside.
The only controls on the pistol that are actually functional are the grip safety and single/full auto switch.
The rest of the levers are just for decoration.
Note that the spare magazine that was referenced in the Q/A section is not the correct one.
The magazine is a a long curved shape. Possibly similar to the Umarex HK P30 mag?

"Fun little gun. Not powerful at all and probably wont hit past 30 feet. In a game someone might not even feel the hit if its not point blank. It is accurate though. The blowback is kind of weak but still noticable.
It looks nice but is confusing out of the box. Enstructions are entirely Japanese. The mag release is fake and no obvious way to get the mag out. The magazine just pulls out but it is stiff out of the box. The only saftey is the grip safety. The selector switch is a tiny switch inside the trigger guard.
This thing kills batteries when you aren't using it. The day I got it I went out to shoot and it was late and almost completely dark so I just left it until the next morning. Didn't shoot a lot the day before and the batteries were only in it for about 9 hours. I figured it would be fine for that but after a mag and a half in the morning it started dying very quick.
Overall a good gun for the price.
Pros:
Cheap
Noticable blowback
Could be useful for very close encounter situations
Cons:
Very low range
Confusing out of box and no English instructions
Mag release is fake
Kills batteries in just a few hours (not in use)

"THIS is the gun you use instead of saying “bang bang”. You can hit someone on full auto from point blank range and not feel bad about it whatsoever. Get the 100rd high capacity mag. Excellent mini room clearer.

"Nice looking/operating 1911 style EBB with low cost of ownership.
Grip safety & hammer works.
Fun for short range indoor use with a gel target.
Accurate at short range.
Hop up & low FPS makes it less accurate for beyond 25 ft.
Can't penetrate paper targets.
Thin banana mags look fragile, but where to buy?
Important note:
If you put in your AAA batteries and it doesn't work, don't worry yet. It might not be broken.
Look inside the battery compartment. The springs aren't designed well and might not contact the smaller (+) pos end of the batteries. Fix for that: I carefully taped aluminum foil on the pos (+) ends of the 2 batteries that point down so that there is enough contact surface to touch the springs.

"I’ll have to admit, the novelty of this pistol is totally worth the price. It chronos with .15g bbs at 38-40fps. Won’t shoot through a piece of paper. I put it up to my neck point blank and it barely hurts and doesn’t leave a mark. The hop up works, and I can get .15 bbs to sail in a straight line for about 75 feet before they start dropping off. It’s like watching an airsoft gun shoot in slow motion, but in real life. Perfect for shooting at those gel targets indoors. Look on YouTube for videos of how the gun functions, the blowback is very slow, and the cycle completes before it ejects the bb. Overall more of a novelty, conversation piece, and wall hanger than an actual fieldable weapon.
