do you have to pull the mechanism all the way back to fire it?

It is one trigger button. So you pull it back as far as you need to make it faster. It's a pretty good speed even pulling the trigger half way back. I pull it back all the way and think it's great.

Yes! There's a child lock button which you must pull and then all you have to do is pull the trigger. Very easy!

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.

No, you have to rack the slide each time you pull the trigger. I think you'd have to get something powered with Co2 in order to be able to just pull the trigger until you are out of ammo. Since this is a spring operated pistol, you have to compress the spring each time you shoot (by pulling back the slide).

You can if you wanted to. but for some reason when I used it I had all the weight on the right hand side of the gun. plus it's not a gun that keeps firing on its own you have to pump it in order to fire it

Mine has a button on the trigger that sometimes gets out of place and stops it from shooting. Also if you don't have the tip seated on the work it will not shoot.

Yes, you are able to pull the trigger and also cock it with release action.

Yes, each time you fire you have to pull back the slide to load one round into the chamber. (Yes, you have to)

No. The barrel is solid after about an inch of bore. The hammer does cock back and is released by the trigger.

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.

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.

Yes after every shot you to cock it back, it's spring not gas or electric which then it Would be automatic

Yes, if you pull it towards you it locks open. If you push it back it just opens, then when you let go it shuts off.

No, you have to at least pull one end off. I didnt use it as much as i thought i would but i still like it.

It may not allow you to release the slide by pulling it back. You have to use the slide release
