I had several experienced airsoft players take a look, cock it and fire it. These are kids with upgraded TM and CA rifles that shoot 400 fps or more, but they all commented on the speed and accuracy. A couple of the guys said "wow, that's a strong spring!". And indeed it is, the specs say 280-300 fps, but I'd say that's on the low end. Honestly, I fired some of these upgraded high-end guns, and I felt I was getting the same distance & could plink a telephone pole at 50-60 feet, straight as an arrow. <br/><br/>Bottom line here: tremendous value for target practice and sniping. Highly, highly recommended. Oh, and "cauk" is neither what you do to compress a rifle spring nor what you grout with. That would be "caulk". In any event, saying it's hard to cock is just another way to say it has a stout spring. With proper technique, cocking the gun is not difficult.

Well hell, why not just save the money and buy a real rifle. <br/><br/>What caught my attention was the price. It is only $35! I thought it was too good to be true but reviews through out the internet say it is a decent rifle. <br/><br/>I recieved it today along with a package of 0.12g BBs. The rifle weighs roughly 8 pounds. Very accurately designed and weighted to a real M-14 rifle. The stock is plastic but the barrel and inner workings are all made out of metal. <br/><br/>I tested it with the .2g bbs that came with it and they penetrated the cardboard box at 20 feet. I took it outside to test at a longer distance. The .12g BBs are horrible, they shoot straight for about 30 feet and then curve off in a random direction. The .2g BBs however shoot very straight with adjustment to the hop up. I have already ordered two bags of .2g bbs along with a reflex site to mount on the rail. <br/><br/>I am incredibly satisfied with my purchase. For the price, you get a lot. <br/><br/>I have not recieved the reflex sight yet, but this is what I ordered along with 2 bags of biodegradable .2g BBs. I ordered these two items <br/>directly from the Airsplat website as they where less expensive there.
