Plastic or Steel Breech?

It's definitely not plastic. It's some kind of metal; probably steel but I'm not certain. It's a very solid, well built pistol at the price.

I use the .20 gram 6mm precision bbs by crosman - they are biodegradable and are accurate and work great. Never had any problem with them.

No, the majority of this gun is a hard plastic material. I do not know what type of plastic but it wont break on you. So far its held up very well and is very effective.

Yes. Yes might be an overkill though. These are extremely durable bits and do well in any kind of steel I have ever drilled so plastic should not be a problem.

Synthetic is better by leaps and bounds, besides there is zero recoil if the synthetic cable breaks. If a steel cable breaks it could seriously injure you or someone else. I love mine you won't regret it.

These are plastic but seem very durable but if you want steel go with the Magpul MBUS pro.

I hesitate to call the material the stock and fore-stock is made of by using the word, "plastic." It might be technically accurate to call it plastic but it is very dense, very hard, and unlike any toy plastic. I have a Savage rifle that is made from the same material, and another more expensive crossbow made from it. Even though crossbows are usually more accurate for beginners than recurve, or compound bows, you have to understand it doesn't have the long range accuracy of a rifle. I just bought this crossbow but, my best guess is that reliability with this crossbow will be excellent.

I use the plastic one. Costs less works fine. Don't even notice it's on. I use for mostly biking some running.

I agree with the answer from Nicholas, below. I (an ex-herpetologist ) would go with galvanized hardware cloth. If for no other reason, plastic ages, gets brittle and breaks. But fortunately, I just deal with rabbits in the garden and not rattlesnakes.

No doubt the stainless steel version would outshine the plastic version over time. However, I have used my plastic one weekly for the past several months without any noticeable decrease in sharpness. It works effectively

Mostly plastic, the barrel and other parts that part of the firing mechanism are metal, but everything else is plastic. There is a large metal weight in the grip to add weight and heft of the real 9mm Berretta. My son eventually traded this gun away for another gun. So disappointed in the performance and the slide breaking at the ejection port he gave it away.

the picture is accurate. all I can say is do what I did. take your breech plug out and compare to pic. other styles don't look alike......easy to tell differences.

mine was the ballistic nylon type, but it works fine. and I'm left handed so the rigid plastic one would not work for me.

Plastic outside and metal in side. Weight is good for it having quality plastic. Sights, stock, and hand grip as well as the trigger guard are heavy plastic. Internal components and trigger are metal. Magazine has heavy weights in it that make it feel very real

I chose the breech lock because it is faster and easier to change dies. I reload for more than one caliber so dies must be changed. I could have gotten a turret press with replaceable die holder plate but it would be much more expensive and takes up more space on the bench. I have a progressive for my 9mm but find that I am using the breech lock more, even for 9mm. I also got the die holders that lock with an Allen wrench so once the die is adjusted it can not change.

I would say- the plastic and wooden are better, in a case of stainless utensilis- the small scratches are possible.

Plastic, but with a soft feel. I have them on all of my Glock mags. Work well except on short grips such as Glock 26, 27, where they will be felt while gripping pistol.
