Wanting to use it as "live" fire training, how would this gun do in that situation. I don't want to hurt the other people, but I want it practical.

This gun looks realistic but blow back action is weak and its very innacurate. BBs aren't fired with enough force to hit marks at distances further than 20 feet or so. I was never hit with it but can't imagine it hurting much.

EYE PROTECTION ! emt4three is right on ; keep the gun clean and lubed and you should be ok for accuracy, and in side 20 feet.

I just watched a video review. The answer is yes. Just make sure that you unload your gun first.... and I do not know how often it's wise to dry-fire your gun. With some it's OK... with others, it's not recommended.

This is super, great, awesome, I love it. Shooting live ammo at the range is better, but this falls right behind it for training purposes, can be done almost any time, almost any where. For self defense practice, it puts the emphasis on the FIRST shot, practicing drawing / presenting / trigger control, . . . etc. I wish I had had one of these 30 years ago, as I would be a much better shot by now.

Yeah I'd recommend it. I'd say it's powerful but it's my only BB gun so I don't know what to compare it to. I accidently shot myself with it once and it hurt really bad and left a mark for about a week. I give it about a 7 or 8 for the pain.

I used it to mount and level my optics but found it a bit cumbersome for live fire. I guess it would work if it had to.

not really sure but if so I would imagine getting hit in the face at close range with 19 bb's would hurt very badly. but if i were you I would buy a real gun, get a revolver, they are inherently safe and easy to use, make sure your intruder in INSIDE your house, make sure you kill them, so you have only one story, and a dead intruder will not sue you. firm believer in the 2nd amendment!!!

Ricochets can happen with this target. If I were to shoot at it with a BB gun I would stand at an angle so that the BBs would not bounce back at me.

I forgot to mention... the safety/decocking lever is non-functional. It's simply molded into the body of the slide. The safety button is actually what should be the slide release button of the real gun. So, while it's dimensions are very accurate, it would be hard to train for using the safety. Also, unless the magazine is empty, when you pop it out it always releases a couple of bbs. So it also wouldn't be much help for training magazine exchanges unless you do them empty. The magazine release button has a pretty accurate release feel to it, though.

should hold up fine. FMJ bullets are tough on it though. And distance from target will obviously

its not horrible. I've practiced a lot with an unloaded weapon at home and got pretty quick with it. For me it's alot to do with muscle memory. Don't carry the gun that requires that holster anymore.

Occasional muzzle flash for me but I have only used one type of ammo so far. Concussion and sound are pretty amazing. Sounds like a cannon at an indoor range. I would say a major plus for it would be the reduced recoil and muzzle rise. Definitely worth the money.

Hello, the gun can be cocked and dry fired. The cylinder rotates and works like a real gun. But it is made of a softer metal (zink maybe) so I would not fire it a lot. Hope thos helps.

yes but it never seems good for the gun when i do it. its just not high enough quality to handle it. kinda like putting nitro through a minivan, sure you could set it up but idk if you would want to. also since its only 10 shots it runs out quickly. and when you do it it can be hard to aim since you have to pull hard and fast to pump the gun

Need a serious one.....rock salt ammo. Full auto fire control - if it flies it dies.........i'd buy one.

I recently spent about 1.5 hrs practicing on range. Tactical reloads while shooting course of fire required for my position. No issues. Unless you're gripping the magazine from front to back, not sure how this would interfere? I just assume most people grab side to side if your magazine doesn't drop when released. Hope this helps!

As you know, shot placement is critical but the practical answer is no. This is less powerful than a .22 rim fire and can not be relied upon to humanly kill medium game.

I really haven't shot it all that much. My son and grandson was over a few weeks ago and a new co2 we only shot a full clip (16) and then I just dry fired the rest of the co2. Didn't seem to last much longer? I do like my P25, feels great and fun to shoot. In my city it's illegal to shoot outside :(
