I bought this thing last night as a birthday gift for my nephew. I loaded it up just to make sure it words etc, and that's where I messed up at! Due to the shear fun factor of this thing, I'm keeping this one, and he's getting another one :D
I easily give this thing 5/5 stars, and would definitely recommend to a friend. I paid $96 at my local Walmart. It shoots 400 FPS, so obviously you're not hunting anything with it, but this thing may very well redefine plinking. I set up 6 cans at about 20 feet, and with the 40 shot magazine, went to town. Before I knew it, I was about 8 magazines and 5 Co2 bottles into it.
It's a replica of the real deal, even down to the weld marks. Umarex really came through on this airgun! The muzzle flash reducer and front handle are removable as well. It's a blowback, and the bolt is funtional. It is semi auto, andn according to YouTube and google, it is impossible to make it full auto. :( Only down fall to it is that it's made of mostly plastic, but a couple coats of flat black took care of the "plastic/shiny" look it originally had. It is all metal where it counts though. (inner workings, trigger, etc) The strap did not come with it...... Once again, I would easily recommend this AG! Even if it wasn't a replica, (which is totally awesome) I would still recommend due to shear plinking fun factor alone! It's really accurate up to 20-25 feet as well. So if any of you are like me, and have a child or family member that's in need of a birthday gift, well, here it is!

Too funny ! In a childhood moment, I just bought a Umarex Steel Storm for myself.
Out of all the automatic guns I Narrowed it down to the MP5 & Storm but the Storms price won out over the MP5's better looks. Both get great reviews. Reading them was fun as well. At least I don't have to worry about my Mom & Dad finding out.
A Droz at 1/3 the price.
Guess I'm still a kid at 55.
