Is the gun hard to cock?

No, in fact, it is VERY easy, also, you can use slam-fire, which would not be able to happen if it was not easy to cock

Hell no, it has to much hop and it curves up lets say ur standing 10 feet away u will still hit about mmmmm five foot above ur target area, its slow to reload, however does look good and is tough

The cocking mechanism might be too hard for him. They do include a tool to make it easier (it acts kind of like a pully so it multiplies your force) but it depends upon how strong he is. If he's on the small side it might be a problem.

Yes! But, obviously the cocking action makes it less than consistent with regards to aim...

The gun is cocked simply by pulling the bolt back in order to load the pellet. Pumping it up however, is another question and probably what you're really wanting to know. If you are too young to be shooting it, you will find it too difficult to pump. Most teens and adults should be able to pump it after a little practice.

I know that the gun comes out smoothly, so I would say yes to that, but I am not 100% sure. Sorry I coudn't be of more help.

If you mean to clean ur gun properly then yes. What I mean by hard to put on is the tolerances where u put it into the front of the gun are so tight u can't put it on by hand, like u can the normal barrel bushing

You have to cock it each time. The one i ordered did not work plastic pellets jamed in barrel every time i trried to fire it.

It's not too hard to cock. Once you figure it out. Im 19 and not a strong guy. If I had say falls in easy to medium range when cocking.

About 43 pounds. I do give the barrel a light smack to get it to barely break open, then use both hands to cock it. Maybe I could cock it with one hand, but it would be tough; it's much easier using two. It does take considerable effort - I can cock it over and over again, but my girlfriend can't cock it at all.

Yes, it can be hard for my 8 year old to cock it. I suggest one of the bows, or a pistols with the ring they can grab to cock it.

The gun can be a little on the heavy side so it's hard to hold steady free handed. If you put it on some type of support and it usually shoots pretty good. Also the cheaper pellets tend to wander all over the target. Buy the higher quality ammo. That should help out also.

You have to cock it for each bullet. It will jam if you cock it more than once.

I'm not sure if it's mentioned in the description or statistics of the weapon but it does take a considerable amount of strength to cock this weapon. The .177 cal. Is a lot easier. Look up this weapon on its website and that might help you better. I enjoy shooting mine. Good luck!

I'd say yes and it also requires a bit of effort to cock. Caveat, it has been a long time since I was 10....

Its not to bad you just have to remember to tap the top end of the barrel with your hand and it unlatches and then you can cock it.
