Dangerous Machines

Both the Jones and the Smith Machines are very dangerous pieces of equipment that give a false sense of security to those who lift in a commercial gym. You're much better off lifting free weights rather than using a machine that can trap you fix your position and injure your back and knees because of the unnatural movement patterns. A kid in Ohio was nearly killed the other day doing a decline press on a Jones Machine without a spotter.More detail ...

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.

Hunk of Junk

I bought this Smith and Wesson Chief's Special as my first airsoft gun. I was very excited. It worked great...for about three weeks. Even though I took very good care of the gun the cheap spring loader broke. Save yourself some money and buy another brand of airsoft gun. Smith and Wesson stinks.More detail ...

Good device

The LifeSpan Stretch Partner is a machine I use in conjunction with other stretching devices to maintain flexibility. I am 58-years-old and being flexible become more important each passing year. A person could do the same routine from the floor and without the machine but I have found that having it provides more motivation. My only complaint would be that this machine seems to be designed for a woman or smaller-than-average person. More detail ...

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. More detail ...

Overall a decent purchase

Pros:

Very solid. I am 6' 2" 230lbs and have been training for 15yrs and feel comfortable on this machine regardless of how heavy I go.



Great range of excercises that can be performed. the top attachment allows me to place the wide grip bar included in it and perform chinups. The footbar for seated cable rows also allows support to do situps.



Minimal footprint. fits in the corner of my bedroom.



Cons:



Sparse directions. I am fairly machanically inclined but had trouble with the direction which was basically just a diagram. The completion of the pulley system should have had it's own set of directions.



Too short for taller users. If you are over 6' like me you will have trouble with the range of motion not being long enough on back excercises. I believe in a very full range of motion and sometimes have trouble even at the gym though.



Friction. The attachement for the weight slides along grabs preventing a smooth movement as one would be accustomed to from the gym. I'd noticed the gym machines have a fitting for a gease gun to keep their weight attachments lubricated. I greased the bar the weight attachement slides along and viola it eliminated much of the sticking and the movement was better. Again no mention of this in the directions.



Overall I am happy with my purchase and use my machine regularly. If I could change one thing I would lower the seat 2 to 3 inches which would eliminate the range of motion problem for taller lifters.

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.More detail ...

Lasts long not good.

This was my first airsoft gun and i got it with the extra clip and ammo. The clip only holds ten rounds so if frequently using this buy 1 or 2 more. Mine personaly had a hammer flaw and broke about 4 months after i bought it. It still worked but i had to hold the hammer down when cocking it. I bought another Taurus airsoft gun recently that has almost 3 times the fps. I now just put electric tape around the hammer so that I can cock it without holding the hammer down. If you dont want to worry about it breaking by a hammerless airsoft gun.More detail ...
