If I am a beginner of airsoft, is this a good gun for backyard practice

it's a bit erratic if you are hoping for true bullseye-type shooting. it's a spring pushing a tiny plastic pellet into the air quickly, so it will not be pinpoint consistent accuracy. but it's fun, and a good purchase if you're not that serious. i have heard [ha ha] that it will get close enough to a squirrel to scare it off a bird feeder every time without injuring them...

Spring, it's not really for serious airsoft battles its just for messing around. If your friends have spring it would be good to play them with this gun.Ps it's hard to pull the bolt back

Yes. I. Think its perfect for 6 to 10 ish...not nearly as powerful as an airsoft but can still shoot it far enough.

I love mine. No buyers remorse or anything like that. One thing I would suggest would be to upgrade the build plate though as the acrylic plate warps. If you can design it in a 3D modeling program, you can print it (for the most part). So to answer your questions, Yes, imo, it is worth the money. I would imagine that you could build airsoft guns with this with mostly printed parts. Would still need springs and such like that though of course.

Not really it's more of a motionless target practice weapon. Good for beginners.

Hello, there are a lot of different things you can do to this Airsoft rifle. It all depends on what you are thinking about doing.

Ehh I'd wait til he/she was 14-16 Its pretty heavy (i use a rest usually and im 24yrs old 6'2 180lbs) There is a little bit of recoil which could scare them. its a bit noisy If u don't use heavy pellets (can break the sound barrier creating a sonic boom) and the piston action is tough to actuate. even after its broken in after 100 shots or so. Plus it has enough muzzle energy to kill or maim animals easily. I'd stay with a multipump or lever action bb gun til he/she is older. I actually have a 20$ one from Walmart that's fun as heck and just the right fit for a 12 year old. Get 500 BBS and some tin cans and its fun for hours for dirt cheap. This gun is for doing work on vermin or shooting tacks at 50 feet.

Yes it is an airsoft sniper. It comes with the side magazine and adapter for the mag and 5 mock shells. But I ended up returning after I got my part because stuff kept breaking on it. And to just get my return shipping labels it took over 2 months. That being said, if a problem occurs with your rifle AirSplat isn't a very fast company from my experience. If I were you I would bite the bullet and spend a little more money 200+ is where you will mostly get a very accurate and powerful rifle. Also, if you have an airsoft store near you it's be worth checking out what the have. From my experience you get much better customer service and you can actually tell if what you want is crap or good. I've bought 4 airsoft guns online and have sent back all but one due to being damaged from defects and just being crap. The forth I just went and got fixed locally.

I bought this as my first gun too, it was great for a while but then I stared to realize I could have of bought a lot nicer of a pistol with full Audo firing and double the fps for the the same amount so it's your choice but I would recommend starting with this gun because it is a good starter gun. I hope this help

It is a real airsoft gun, meaning it is not a real gun for killing, but it is not necessarily a child's toy, either. It shoots little pellets, which could possibly injure someone if it hits the eye, so safety precautions should be followed for the users and participants.

I think its a great marker for starting out or to just go out and have fun with. As for rating it against another brand or the high dollar pro guns I cant. But this gun works fine, haven't had any problems with them - I have 2 of them.

Yes this is a great starter. Does have problem with barrel drop. More so on the .22 cal, the .177 cal seems to be better.

It is an airsoft gun, so I wouldn't think you need a license but you may want to check with your local laws regarding airsoft guns.

no, it is not an airsoft. it is not even anything like a toy. i don't recommend it as a parade rifle. just don't do it. stay away.

Not really, unless they are not apprehensive. This is really a "take no prisoners" airsoft. Eyewear is a must. I would recommend a single shot pistol to start and get familiar with shooting airsoft. This one is fully loaded automatic and can be dangerous if they don't know what they are doing. Definitely good as a second or third purchase. Also make sure you buy SEAMLESS BBs and not some knock off because they will te jammed in the gun. We actually own a few of these for our family.

I bought it as a prop for movie sets, but as an airsoft player we messed around with it first. the FPS is okay, probably a good 20-25 meter effective range, which you could improve with a few minor tweaks. But the frame is weak and the stock broke after it had been dropped on a film set. This is a mess around in the backyard or use as a movie prop quality gun.
