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 whileMore detail ...

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 ...

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 ...

very good

wow.... the shipping for this item was deacent but you pay the price... when i ordered it i got it in 3 day... and thats faster than stuff that i have bought a week before my gun... the mags dont hold that much but they are definately strong... very nice to have in airsoft battles...More detail ...

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 ...

Serious home system

I recently purchased this system through Amazon. I work out at home in the AM before work. I was looking for a Smith machine so that I could lift heavy in the basement without the danger presented by free weights w/o a spotter. You'll find Smith machines cheaper than the Caribou but they fit in the category of "home gym" equipment. Commercial machines are generally a lot more expensive than the Caribou. I settled on Caribou because of the solid construction and flexibility to add on features later as my needs demand (such as a pec deck cable cross dip station).



The system delivers in 5 boxes weighing 485# (2 or 3 are more than 100#). I broke the heavy boxes down before taking the equipment to the basement. There are a lot of parts. This is not a hard machine to assemble but it took me 2.5 hours by myself. (I'm handy. Two people would have made the job a little easier but this is not hard to put together alone.)



The system is solid. 300# is easily handled. I don't have need for more but I'd bet another 200# is well within the range of this system.



My only complaint is that the system is a little small. You cannot use the supplied bench with the back upright to support shoulder presses (the bench cannot slide deeply enough into the rack to do that). I do shoulder presses without the bench back raised. The lat pull down and chinning bar are also lower than I'd like (I'm 6'2"). But I compensate by doing pull downs kneeling on the floor and chinning with legs bent 90 degrees at the knees. Frankly a bigger machine would have a hard time fitting into a home so I think this is why the dimensions are what they are. (This is the reason for four vice five stars.) However for bench presses and squats this is a full sized olympic system.



Finally this system doesn't come with weights. I recommend you either buy these used off eBay/Craigs List or look for a deal at Sports Authority. The money you pay to deliver the weights will probably exceed the cost of the weights themselves. (I got a 300# set including an olympic bar for $140 from Sports Authority. Beat that if you can!)



If you're serious about getting/staying in shape at home you cannot go wrong with this system. More detail ...

Junk

This is not a good machine if you can lift any substantial amounts of weight. It's a little unstable. The hooks that lock into the holes so you can spot yourself don't always line up very well and that kind of sucks when you've just tired yourself out and you want to rack it but you can't...More detail ...
