My original review was after 2 years of use, it is now 3 years and 1 month since I bought it and it still works great.I have learned to speed load the gun using a soda straw to take the bbs out of the container by tipping it sideways and it lets you slide all the bbs into the clip in one motion. The silver bbs are still best and I use pelgun oil on the co2s when I insert them. I cannot see why anyone would denigrate this gun, few products have performed this well. My original review stands:
My idiot neighbor feeds muscovie ducks and dozens of them try to sit on my beach overnight -- you would never want to walk barefoot where muscovie ducks have been. I have gone through many bb guns to make them move, they do not scare or move otherwise until you are almost on top of them, and this is the only one that just keeps on working. I wish it held more than 19 bbs, but few of them do. I have a Drozd that just quit after a few monhs. I have an Umarex Steel Storm and it holds many more bbs and is more effective on full auto, but you must use 2 new CO2 cartridges almost every time as it drains quickly when not in use -- while the Beretta CO2 power lasts weeks even when not used. It is accurate and hits hard enough to make them move without killing them. For the price, after 2 years, it is a great bb gun. Copper bbs rust very fast in Miami, so I use the zinc coated ones as they seem to last forever.
