| Review: |
It's hard to find one new or unused. I got mine off ebay and it had the standard problem with the barrel latch not locking the barrel in place. Fortunately mine didnt have any problem with the cylinder alignment.
The positive things about it are that it looks intimidating, and that it's noisy. A revolver should be loud ;)
It's fairly heavy and robust.. It feels like it weighs more than an Ion with mag and tank attached.
The drawbacks are the barrel latch, as i mentioned earlier, and the fact that its hard to find good .50 caliber paint. The lack of accuracy is a side effect of having bad paint.
The internals should be opened with care, as it's just waiting to make a run for it as soon as you open it.
Another issue related to the paint is that its hard to reload if your paint is slightly smaller than the holes in the cylinder. Thus keeping an extra cylinder or two in a pocket is out of the question.

| Conclusion: |
The revolver itself is pretty good though it lacks range and it only has 6 shots. I was able to get about 30 shots from a single co2 cartridge. The biggest drawback is the paint.. but if you manage to find fresh (and round) paint then it should perform as well as a pgp and other semi pistols. |
