How much force is required to pull the trigger? Will my three year old son be able to pull the trigger without problem?

yes he will have no issues since it is battery powered and has very little resistance.

The trigger and hand grip are a little large for the average 3 year-old to get their hands around with comfort but it is possible. Our gradchildren did not have too much difficulty getting me soaked with the squirtgun. Have fun!

The trigger is easy to pull and a three year old can do it, however, unless the design has changed, I wouldn't waste my money on this gun. I bought these for my grandsons, ages 4 - 12 and they lasted only a couple of hours before quitting to work. It wasn't the batteries. I called the company and they sent new ones which did the same exact thing. If you buy this, you will have one very disappointed little boy!

You do have to pull the hammer back before every shot. My 12 year old son said it is a little hard to pull back. He has had the gun for around 6 months and says it isn't as powerful as when he first got it, and he really doesn't recommend it.

Only with supervision. It takes a degree of focus to control it and jerky finger movement can send it falling /flying. 3 is probably too young. Maybe 8+

I really don't think so, not that it is so difficult to apply force, although it does require a certain amount that only you can decide of the strength of the child. But the problem that I see might be in the fact that sometimes the can does not always drop out and needs a little tug to pull it through, also, the cans in the chute occasionally gets scrambled and must be straighten out in order to fall into the ram's position. Good luck.

The three year old might be able to do it with some instruction. It requires lifting and twisting the catch in the direction you want to go. It's a great gate though and works very smoothly

Any age u feel comfortable. There are intricate pieces, like assembling the camshaft lobes that can be challenging. I wouldnt try this with any child younger than 8. My son is 12 he was comfortable assembling the bigger pieces.What makes it difficult is the identifying the firing order and cylinder number identification. Pay extreme clost attention to that. Also dont race through it.

My 4 year old (just turned 4) can EASILY pull the "string" back as far as it can go, but my 2 year old can only get it about 2/3rds of the way, which may be due to a combination of less strength and shorter arm span. If you do not pull it back all the way, it does not always fire properly as it requires a lot of force to eject the arrow. I will note that the string is just for show, it does not do anything. The tension you feel pulling on the handle to activate the bow is caused by a spring (or something like that) inside the body of the bow.

I don't know about 3year old but two older kids would have no problem. It doesn't take much strength. More that you have to be tall enough to pull the latch up and twist. We have two gates that get constant use and they are holding up well.

Gun feels very heavy. I would say 10 to 15 lbs. My son is 12 and loves the gun, but did comment on how heavy it is.

Yes, I would not buy this gun if I were you unless you are a little kid. You have to cock every shot by pulling back the foregrip and it breaks easily

probably 18-22 depending on how long you hold trigger. 4 second hold is sufficient.

the motion may take a bit for her to figure out, but it is relatively easy, my concern would be her length. Even with the short bar in place, a three year old is pretty small. I have 5 kids and they ALL love it. I am 6' and I can ride it, so much fun.

It really depends on how strong he is. It is easy and gets easier when they learn how to manage it. It cocks like a pump-action shotgun. If it is held firmly in your shoulder, it is easy to complete the action.My daughter is 10 years old. She didn't understand how it pumped the first time. Every time after that she has been able to pull it. She didn't put it down at all.

I imagine it is the "draw weight" or how hard it is to pull back the string (cock it). This one is so strong that my 6 ft tall strong son has a hard time cocking it. I bought it as a gift for him and now wish I had gotten a less powerful one. We now have the option to buy an expensive cocking device attachment for it.

I would say it is OK for beginners, if you mean a child old enough to be a little responsible. Short of shooting someone in the face it isn't powerful enough to do damage. It is full auto, so it can put out a lot of pellets- my son is not allowed to load or use it inside the house, it is an outside only toy.

Not at all. It is just a pull trigger. There is a little button the handle you must press at the same time as pulling the trigger but it is simple. The unit is light in weight also.

To me no,trigger pul on that gun 12lb.Its more consilment and grip for control.
