Do yourself a favor and DONT BUY THIS!
I bought this gun brand new about a few months ago. i used it for about a day until i found how how poorly made this gun was. the Co2 leaked constinly. i went through 15 cartriges in about a week shooting it for like 15 mins a day (15 mins = 1 cartrage) when u reloaded and released the slide all the co2 comes out. then about 2 weeks in the trigger spring broke and it is costing me about $50 to fix it. for people who think blowback pistols are fun there a pain in the ass. just get another gun. KEEP LOOKING.

Dangerous! Cheap Poor Quality - You get what you pay for !!
The bars are very light and feel cheap when you pick them up. No worries I say they're CHEAP and I don't want to shell out the Benjamins for real solid professional equipment. Besides I'm not running a professional gym; it's just me and my son working out in our home gym.
All goes well until the end piece (where the weight plates sit) on the curl bar pops off with no warning. The force of gravity causes the weights to fall with loud noises YIKES what surprise. Loud noises cussing the curl bar twists violently in my hands (one side is now considerably lighter then the other) dents in floor etc. No injuries but certainly could have been broken feet crushed toes and serious wrist and forearm injuries from the sudden violent twist when one side unloaded quickly.
Well now I'm out what I pad for the damn bar and I'm feeling silly to boot. I share my pain only to prevent you from making the same stupid mistake I did. You don't get something for nothing you get what you pay for and cheap equipment will cost you more in the long run.
I will now do what I should have done in the first place namely belly up to the (curl) bar and pay for a solid professional well made curl bar not this junk.

Powerful FPS Yet Lacks Asthetics
I first came across this sidearm at work; one of the stock workers purchased it and wanted to test the FPS... by shooting himself in the foot. Through the wool socks this S&W gave him a whelp the size of a dime and he kept it for several days showing it off whenever he thought a woman would find it a beauty mark... clearly they did not. After testing it out myself and subsequently being shot myself (he got me from behind) I can personally vouch for the power behind this dandy.
It's 302FPS may not sound like much but between 5-30 feet (typical effective range IMO) you'll know you've been hit and you'll be reminded by that large lump for days. It's controllability is as much as you would expect from an airsoft gun; somewhat easy to control for medium to large sized hands although I heard complaints from younger shooters with smaller hands that it was harder to control. The majority of internal parts are hard metals and not the cheap kind you'd expect from CYMA or other lower-end products. This assures it will last longer than the cheaper competition.
Due to the FPS this S&W has some greater accuracy than your normal inexpensive spring load however the lack of any mounts for a scope means you either have to take it to a machine shop to get one mounted or just take a guess at how to aim. The clear plastic also makes it look ugly when you try to mount any scopes or add-ons to it since they hardly match.
I should note that I do not like air soft guns that are clear plastic. I find those cheap and I feel like a third grader playing with a toy gun when I hold it... more so than usual. It has no asthetic parts such as a supressor (which I find actually stablizes the weapon better) flashlight or scope. These are kinda downsides to us younger audiences that like kewl looking weapons.
I should also stress to parents this weapon SHOULD NOT BE USED BY SMALL CHILDREN or children unfamiliar with firearm safety. While this sidearm will not cause any permanent damage if it can leave two full-grown men groaning in pain for several minutes that have whelps for days imagine what it can do to smaller children. Please parents bear this in mind when purchasing this sidearm or any airsoft weapon.
Overall an 80%. It's not that asthetically pleasing but it will alert your targets when you aim at them.

Good Entry level springer
I like this gun overall. I got it a few years ago. Pearks:
1. The pump action gives you a high rate of fire
2. It really packs a punch
3. you get a lot of bang for buck (its cheap)
Down side
1. bad sights get a red dot weaver sight
2. mag design is bad get a few extra if you r a hardcore airsoft player
3. no sling mounts
4. mine is half broken b/c i used it all the time but it lasted a while

Excellent machine
Design makes it better than a smith and better than a power rack. Solid construction - feels like a commercial machine found in a gym. It would be nice if the uprights had some built-in weight racks. Great for solo lifting but don't get carried away be sensible.
