This gun really is great. It is all metal, and has a real wood stock, and is quite heavy. I use .28g BB's in mine and it destroys targets. My only cons for it: The selector switch doesn't always select what it should (i.e. the safety could not work at all and you'd be in semi- or full-auto mode), it didn't feed very well at all right after getting it, the left screw above the magazine release gets loose easily and can fall out (I've already lost mine), and the sling sent in the box IS NOT made for the gun. You need a sling made for a K98/MP44. This gun is easily worth the $200 it costs, though, and if you're thinking of buying it, do it! You won't regret it, unless you're too weak to carry it around!
