How hard is this gun to cock? My 3 YO is obsessed with the neighbor's nerf firestrike elite, but can't quite cock it. Is this one easier? Thanks!

Really dont know, our greatgrandson is 7 yr and had no problem but that isquite a bit older than the three yr old. I would think he could master it before long.Little ones are pretty smart and learn quickly once shown how it works. Good luck.

Shelia it's very easy to load, simply slide the "Pocket Clip" Up the barrel until it comes out, then put the pellets in "The same way you'd put a pellet into your pellet gun "With the "Skirt" facing you, Fill-it-up with 20 or so, and after you've fired a round, place the "Rubber end" on the open "Breech" of your pellet gun, push firmly on the end of the Pocket Clip, at such time a pellet should've been placed into the "Breech", then close the breech, Shoot the pellet gun, and Repeat the operation, it's that simple. I've found out that I can complete the whole procedure in "Less than 4 Seconds, So it's pretty simple, if you have any further questions Please don't hesitate to ask them. Respectfully, Jimmerz48

Son, this gun drives framing nails! I use JSB Exact domed pellets (8.44gr) and Beeman crow magnum (8.8) with good accuracy and power. Lodges far into 2x4's. I would use Beeman Silver Arrow pointed (11.57) but i think they might be the exact length of the revolver magazine tube- leading to jamming issues either on the point or the skirt of the pellet. But anyways- this gun is the IT accessory to treat yourself to!!!

I have two of these. One mounted on a S&W; M&P; 10 (.308) that I've swapped the flash suppressor out for a muzzle brake. Has 18" barrel. Normally shoot Sierra 168 grain HPBTs in hand loads. Last outing I was getting sub-moa results. Have the other mounted on Armalite AR-31 (.308) with 24" barrel. Have shot better than 1/2 moa with the same hand loads. I never worry about the BDC feature since that is pretty dependent on using specific factory ammo. I can wing it on longer shots pretty easily. Great scopes.

I have tried a lot of pellets, Crossman Premier Hollow Points, Benjamin's, and others and you know what? I have found that the gun shoots straighter than I can hold and squeeze the trigger properly with all of them. As long as I use a heavy lead pellet to keep the speed down, the gun shoots great. I guess if I bench rested the gun and squeezed the trigger perfectly repeatedly, I could tell an accuracy difference between pellets. But I hunt using the best rest I can find (the side of a tree usually!) and try my best to use proper shooting technique. If I do that, old bushytail is usually toast. I like this gun (Umarex OCTANE 22 cal) except it is really heavy to carry, and I can't figure out a way to put a sling on it.

I've never used a single action, but I believe you have to hand cock single actions. Like, a shotgun, you have to pull the slider back initially to fire.On this gun, you simply fire until it's empty. The CO2 forces the slider back to load another bb. (in theory, it might just be for show). Either way, you don't have to hand cock it. Safety off, fire until it's empty. Super fun. :-D

I can't miss with mine. I hit a grouse about 80m out, and consistently hit my mark. With other guns like the Varmint Hunter, 25 Benjamin Nitro, I miss a lot. After hundreds of rounds, I realized that its due to the relationship between the triggers and the sighting. Basically the German gun is primo engineering and from the trigger pull on its great. I have all stock parts on mine and won't change a thing. Its ready for action.

The Blackhawk was only loud on the first shot. I think that was because there was a little residue oil in the barrel. Since that time I don't think that the pellet rifle would be too loud for the neighbors. Good shooting to you. Happy Holidays. Rod Gann

I'm not sure if it's mentioned in the description or statistics of the weapon but it does take a considerable amount of strength to cock this weapon. The .177 cal. Is a lot easier. Look up this weapon on its website and that might help you better. I enjoy shooting mine. Good luck!

It's really easy to fire. I bought it for my 5 year old godson. He loves it!

I collected bb and pellet guns since I was a teenager and I have to say that this is one of the most powerful pellet guns I have ever owned. You cock back the lever which can be frustrating at first but then you get used to it, and then put a pellet in a whole and fire. You repeat this process and there is no magazine. It isn't semi-auto of course and the fps is roughly about 600-650. Here is a very helpful video about this gun that I have made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMCVBLcXjB8

I only just picked up this gun the other day and tested it out last night. With only 7 shots through it (sighting it in), it is still fairly loud for a neighborhood, but I am hopeful that it will quiet down soon. I am using the heavier lead pellets.

I asked my son and he said it jams all the time. He said they just use it as a toy gun and never load the ammo anymore. Hope that helps.

As far as NERF goes. I'd say it's the most accurate gun they make. I commonly shoot co-workers @ 20-40 feet. It goes farther but the accuracy is less reliable beyond that.

The hammer cocks back and releases when the trigger is pulled. It does not functionally cock the gun though. To do that you must rack the slide.

1st off this gun is awesome, the problem your having is the air soft pellets you need to get the Crossman black heavy weight 25 grams, there is also a 30 gram aluminum pellet that I use for tearing it up, but never on people, both can be bought on amazon, if that doesn't work your magazine is faulty,, once again the gun itself is amazing I have many and this one is the 1st one people wanna see, have fun!!!!
