do you have to cock it each time or is it semi-auto.....as fast as you can pull the trigger?

Not semiauto. But the "cocking" effort is only a fraction of that of a break-barrel air rifle.
1077928
You need to cock the gun each time you want to fire. Also, the safety automatically engages each time, so you also have to press that off.

Bolt action - must cock bolt each time - holds 8 pellets in rotary clip. Nice air rifle for the price.

It is not an actual semi-auto weapon. It is spring operated, and thus must be "cocked" each time. It looks and feels like the real thing though.

It is fully auto. You can just hold down the trigger and it (theoretically) will shoot all the darts. The problem is, most of the time ours jams every few darts. Pulling the trigger numerous times may help it not jam quite as much. We switched to Boom Co. guns and they don't ever jam in our experience so far.

No, this is not a battery powered gun, you have to "cock" the gun each time you want to shoot. One of the fastest non battery powered guns out there.

it really depends on what you mean. it shoots semi and full auto. if you are looking for a bolt action or a cocking action this is not the right gun for you

It has a safety lock, after you cock it once, it automatically locks 'til you shoot, then you pump and shoot again

It has a responsive trigger. Squeeze it a little you can single shot or multi shot (2,3,4, etc.). Squeeze a little harder and your full auto. Awesome trigger system.

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

Only by how much you pull the trigger - you pull it all the way and you get full sawing action, less of a pull and it goes slower. Not variable speed in the sense of a rotary dial.

When you pull the cocking lever all the way down, the chamber/receiver is exposed. It will only hold and fire one pellet at a time. Then you will have to go through the cocking loading steps again. I chose this air rifle because what it lacks in convenience as a repeater, it makes up for in accuracy which was my biggest concern. If you will do more plinking and fun shooting, a repeater with a multi round magazine would be a better choice. I'm using this for pest removal and single shot works for me. Biggest feaure for me is that this is NOT a break barrel, which suffer accuracy drawbacks. The barrel is fixed and one solid piece.

Yes but you're not going to want to all the time as its a lot faster to just not pull back the hammer because its semi automatic but overall great beginners pellet gun if you're looking for something good and reliable

You have to be rough when you cock it. Otherwise, it gets jammed most of the time. The problem is that when you cock it, if you do it lightly, the gun thinks that it needs another bullet to fire. Thusly, smooshing one bullet into another. Also, if the gun isn't roughly cocked, then you'll notice that the cocking lever will not return to it's natural state (towards the front of the gun) until the bullet is removed or sometimes you can roughly recock it and it'll unjam (doing that risks smooshing the next bullet).

You only "pump" once...this is not really pumping the gun, but cocking. One time and one time only cocks the gun. with the lever in the down position the silver slide door on top of the gun will open the aperture to inject the pellet...easy as pie..

No, it fires in semi auto as well. It is a well made airsoft gun and has fired without any problems. I do recommend that you buy extra magazines. Airsoft guns empty very fast.

Pull lever down under barrel and it cocks the gun - spring gun. Cock it one time.

Yes. It's speed will vary with the amount of pressure you apply to the trigger.

The speed is variable. The more you pull the trigger the faster it goes. On both drill and impact
