Its about 40 pounds but it does not feel to hard to cock after running a couple shots with it. One last tip, if you are considering buying this airgun shoot crossman premier domed pellets, they shoot the best out of all the pellets I have tried

It's quite stiff at first. More than expected. But, I've short more than 150 rounds now and I've built up the strength now than it's no longer a concern. What's amazing is that it is very accurate and the scope is clear and selectable magnifications. It's a great buy. I highly recommend it. By the way, I shot it after zeroing in the scope at 30 yards. Then I shot it at 60 yards, the drop was only 2 1/2 inches and the pellet. Still was imbedded into the plywood. Best pellet rifle I've ever owned.

I didn't find it hard.. I would say a average size 10-12 year old could cock it.

It is a little stiff until you get it broke in, not to hard for an adult but a child under 10 years of age might find it tough to cock. hope that answers your question. The scope that came with it is not the best so I put Nikon 2 to 7 power scope on mine and is is very accurate once it is broke in.

A woman or large can cock it by putting the stock on the ground, brace it with your foot, and push the barrel down. If you can lift 20 pounds, you can cock this gun. Even if it's hard for you, it's well wort the effort.

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

I think it gets easer as you cock it more but if you have a lot of round it can be harder

It is physically possible to cock the Barnett Panzer V if you have the physical strength in your fingers, forearm and shoulder. It is too painful for my finger so I use a glove to pad my fingers. Simply give it a go. If you experience any difficulty, find something to help you.

Not too hard. Just give yourself a big area where you can separate all the parts then follow the directions. Took me about 2 hours and I am pretty handy.

never owned a 380 but it is not that difficult to cock. Have not yet shot mine although it is assembled. I have heard it is loud, and I can believe it. it does have very small dampeners.

My husband did it fairly quickly with ease. I would say not very hard at all.

Not very easy. experiencing a good amount of stiffness, needs to be flicked hard.

Not easy at all. Have You Tube right next to you. It can be done in several hours.

It is very hard. Just have someone else whose hands are stronger pull on the sides.

Yes, it's not hard at all! I will never be able to use it on my hair. The other two attachments are good, though. I use the wider toothed comb first to get the kinks out then use the finer tooth comb to get it straight.

For a fully functional male adult, no.But for my 6 year old nephew, he couldn't come close. (was just letting him target practice under supervision)It takes a decent amount of force, but should be no issue for a teen and up. Cocking the slide over and over again doesn't tire me out at all.

I would be a little hesitant with a 4 year old. It does require some strength to cock, and is pretty forceful. You may spend a lot of time loading it for him, then getting hit at close range.

No, but you can purchase one relatively inexpensively. If you are fairly strong, you may be able to cock it by hand. I'm not nearly as strong as I used to be and I've cocked it twice with gloves on when I misplaced the cocking device.

No, Not hard at all. It does get clogged though, because the spray is sticky. I run the tip under water when I'm finished, so it won't clog and spray in all directions!

It should be realtively easy. You may have to pull and shake it a little while pulling. The first few times were also a little difficult for me.

Pretty tough to cock. I use both hands to do it. I can do it with one, with a lot of effort, but two makes it so much more easy. I sit the butt end on the ground and cock it towards me. Give the tip of the barrel a sharp rap with the palm of your hand to make it break initially. Then cock it. I am 65 years old, but still pretty stout. The manual says about 45 pounds; I believe it. If you are in fair physical condition, you can manage it though. It is as accurate as the shooter. No problem for me out to about 35 yards; beyond that, my shooting skills are not so good. Shoot heavy round nose pellets, and practice, practice, practice! The gun is better than I am. Anyhow, shooting a pellet gun beyond 50 yards is not what it is made for; this is a fairly close range weapon; it's an airgun shooting little pellets, for Christ sakes, not a rifle shooting bullets. That's the fun of it - sneaking up on your quarry and making a quiet killing shot. If you want to shoot something 75 to 100 yards away, use a rifle.
