This is a great BB gun and that is the reason it has been so hard to find lately. The Guidefitter price was good so when it came back in stock I picked it up. Glad I did! The housing is plastic and not metal so the weight is different than my MP5 but there are enough handling characteristics that flow through to make practice at home fun and interesting. This isn't a match weapon in real life or replica so learning to point shoot is important. I like it the way it is, I would LOVE it if it were metal and went to full auto. Overall, glad I picked it up.
