Jan 28, 2010. 9:20 AMAgentCWG says:
This is a good gun, I removed the stock stregnthened the handle and removed the barrel on my own one. I find mine doesn't shoot great lengths but I believe that is due to the bands I used.
Dec 24, 2009. 8:42 PMDJ Radio says:
How many bands can the pump handle max?
Nov 23, 2009. 5:06 PM~Aeronous~ says:

a nice gun, not flemsy at all and it has pretty good range. i love the pump action.
Sep 2, 2009. 4:18 AMLowney says:
It looks a bit flimsy to me. Is it sturdy? Can someone other than DRADIS tell me (I'm not saying that he's a liar, he just might be 'optimistic' about his own gun.)
Sep 17, 2009. 2:54 PMRaiden97 says:

Sep 18, 2009. 7:28 AMLowney says:

Sep 17, 2009. 2:55 PMRaiden97 says:
you can easily tell, it looks like a Y, it also hooks on to ball joints and the side of a rod
Aug 25, 2009. 11:29 AMUnseen997 says:
can you use something else for the ammo like blue rods?
Aug 18, 2009. 9:32 AMNYPA says:
Would it be of high recommendation to use a tan and black rod?
Aug 18, 2009. 9:31 AMNYPA says:
Holy camoli! i can build it!
Jul 22, 2009. 2:36 PMDennydud9895 says:
Also after I put the dental floss behind the vertical white peg what do I do with it?
Jan 29, 2009. 1:06 PMroofm says:
I don't have that many gray connectors (can connect with one rod). Can I replace them with something else?
Jul 22, 2009. 9:23 AMDennydud9895 says:
I did not have enough either but I found that black hinges also work.
Feb 2, 2009. 6:18 AMyerjoking says:
Yeah, any other connector...
