It looks almost the exact same as the single shot models. By the way, turn the captions on. It's hilarious!

Yeah, when its a bullpup.

Hilarious....??? Are you kidding me - How can anyone under stand what is being said, even with the caption translated to english. The wording in the translation makes no sense what so ever !!! Can anyone tell what the deal is here ????

That's why it's so funny. I am actually studying Russian but don't know much. A few of the things were translated correctly.

Jealous of his range :(

Alot of the Edgun boys over at TAG are pretty stoked over Ed's release of a repeater. The question is how long before the importer in the US gets his hands on em.

I had the good fortune of shooting both an Edgun and a Cricket, and I think the Edgun is a much better gun ( I wasn't impressed at all by the lever action and overall loading action of the Cricket ) now with the addition of the repeter capability I think the Edgun is miles ahead of the Cricket

Haha Manny your unabashed honesty is a refreshing thing to see in a world of fanboys ;D. While you may not like the action of the Cricket it has a very big advantage over nearly all other types of mag systems including (according to the vid) the new Edgun. It in fact is not a spring wound mag ( I'm sure you noticed it while shooting it) like you would find on FX's, Mrod's, ect. instead the cocking action manually cycles the mag and thus prevents the mag spring from putting that small amount of pressure on the pellet right before it is "chambered". While that difference may seem very unimportant in the grand scheme of things some guys say that it is a great help to maintaining pinpoint accuracy and shot to shot consistency. IDK if it really helps or not.....the concept does make sense though.

I can't wait for the multi-shot kit to become available for my R3 Matador in .25. My next gun will definitely be a .30 R3M when they do come out ;D

I too have shot them BOTH .... cricket IMO has a better trigger feel, but it ends there with the crickets magazine mechanics and loading into action a real PITA.
There just both quite different and until you can findle fondle and shoot them side by side words describing differences are gonna come up short :P

Yeah, you need 3 hands loading the Cricket magazine :)
and that little lever that makes it index or not is very Mickey Mouse, so easy to just touch it and screw everything up, all in all wasn't at all impressed about the Cricket, and I was one that praised the gun alot before having the chance of shooting it.
The magazine style is nice, like the Hatsan and the original Rainstorm, but the Cricket is plastic, not a fan of that either, the stock is kinda bulky too, ho well, I fell off the Cricket Bandwagon after handling it, on the other end I jumped on the Edgun bandwagon after handling it :) ...on the 2 I tested the trigger was way better on the Edgun
