So what would you nominate as the worst airgun you have owned? I'll start it off with the SMK B4.

I found the trigger to be supremely frustrating as you couldn't squeeze it back to a break point. You had to actually "jerk" it. The gun is made for unloading multiple pellets at things like drink cans. if you enjoy actually sighting and aiming try a different co2 rifle. (of course other types of rifle would be apples and oranges). I traded my Nightstalker fo a Daisy 622X (out of production now. _________________ "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

It would never group its shots, and the seal broke for no apparent reason. On the other hand my son has one that's very accurate and he's had for over a year. i think they may run "hpt and cold" so to speak.

You unscrewed a cap on the end of the muzzle and withdrew a short 6 inch barrel, inserted a pellet and screwed it back in the muzzle, you then cocked it by braking the barrel like a kids pop gun, you could never get the barrel to seat in the same place twice so the grouping was about 6 inches at 10m and the only way to get any power out of it was to give it a squirt of oil down the barrel fairly often.

Spring-powered, needs a "tool" to load pellets properly, not even accurate at 10 feet. Total and complete POS. This is the kind of gun that would turn anyone off airguns if they bought this sorry crappile as their first gun. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

You will not be dissapointed. Cheer's, Andy.

It shoots .177 Marksman darts really well for some reason,I can put them in a 4" circle at 20 feet. BBGun Bob _________________ Air Guns Create Many Questions ! ! Together We Can Answer Them ! !
