| I've had a pretty good experience with my Umarex pistol. In my experience, factory scopes are hit or miss. I've got a Beeman that still has the factory scope on it, but I've had a couple crosmans that died within a year. I shoot mine a lot too. At least 3 times a week. Yes, my crazy butt hauls all 3 rifles and all 5 pistols over to my dad's and shoot every one of them. lol It takes a couple hours. It used to be 4 rifles, but now one of them is my son's. I gave him my storm. Also in my experience, lighter rifles kill scopes quicker. I think that's why the scope has held up on my Beeman is because it's so heavy. On the other hand I killed 2 factory scopes on my Titan within 3 weeks. |

| Looks much like a copy of the Crosman Nitro Venom Dusk, but with a flimsier stock. |

| Rick Eustler did a brief intro on this rifle on American Airgunner, Episode 10. FPS claim was pretty high for a CO2 gun! I'd like to try one. |

| I am pretty sure that the octane is a breakbarrel. |

| Indeed, it is a break-barrel- not Co2. |

Awes crap! Sorry guys, read "Octane", but registered "Fusion" by mistake. I do believe I saw a review on the octane. If I find it I'll edit this post with a link.
Check Kenny's review on YouTube. His channel is "myairgunreviews."
Guy likes to debunk FPS claims the manufacturers make, and give pretty honest reviews, as it seems to me. |
