Maybe defective?
I purchased this pistol a few years back and have tried to make it work correctly a handful of times. The bbs just fall out of the magazine into the handle and then they jam up and it won’t shoot, when I attempt to remove the magazine it won’t release because all the bbs have jammed the mechanism. When it shoots, it’s decent, but it is extremely cheap feeling and does not compare to the quality I’d expect from this particular manufacturer, from past experiences that is. Oh well, lesson learned I suppose or maybe not. I am giving the manufacturer another shot by purchasing a rifle for my daughter for Christmas, hoping it works out and I’ll write this pistol none-sense off as defective out the box. No need to try and return or exchange, life’s too short and I don’t expect much based on the quality control. I’m just sharing my experience in the attempt to explain why I rated the product so poorly, based on my own personal experience. Hopefully the rifle does not disappoint as this pistol has, as it has been far from impressive. Oh, and my old pistol by the same maker will hold the co2 pressure for years, literally. I can pick it up off the top of my television stand walk outside and pop off ten shots at any point, will not lose pressure. With this new, cheaply made, co2 pistol I can count on losing all co2 charge overnight. I’ve never actually been able to shoot enough bbs consistently without it getting all jammed up to use up a whole co2 cartridge, but it’ll just all leak out and there’s nothing I can do about it.

Possibly a good start
So, this thing is pretty janky, to say the least. After assembling with only the assistance of the auction picture, because there were no instructions, I found to be fairly unstable. The long ram bleeds down and it was missing about six washers and a few small nuts from poor packaging. It wobbles from side to side, it’s level, but once loaded it tends to shift left or right. The straps on the back are a joke, the thing literally kind of bounces because of the way it tensions them. So, with all this being said, I’m good with a welder. I added a handle on the back to both pull the picker around and to hold the legs in place when in storage. I also went ahead and tossed the sh!tty ram it came with and added a pneumatic air one from northern equipment making it air operated. I then shimmed all the locations that previously slid from side to side creating an uneven load. After that I removed the rear tension braces and fabricated some nice sturdy ones out of 2” flat bar. Now since I’d went that far, I went ahead and trimmed off all the excess bolt threads hanging out due to longer bolts being used than required and added lock washers to all securing hardware. After paint and materials I’ve added about another two hundred and sixty dollars to the final cost but I’ve got a decent air operated engine hoist now that I know will handle what I throw at it, because I re engineered it... if your good with this type of thing, you could be proud of what you do with this cheap picker, better built than bought anyways, in my opinion, but good to have a base starting point regardless. Mine is now painted with a nice tough satin black hardened enamel as well, nothing wrong with having some pride in your tools. Even repainted the tonnage on the boom with some bright white and stencils. Have fun out there and create something you can be proud of. If your expecting a high quality picker at this price, you’ve seriously missed the mark on this one. if you understand the old saying of, you get what you paid for, kudos to you ;-)

Nice product, very bright
2 of 2 found this helpful I’m slowly replacing 20 4 ft old style energy wasting noisy fluorescent lights with these 4ft led shop lights. Deleted the lights, installed boxes with outlets and mounted the new leds. Night and day difference between the old lights to these new leds. Highly recommend replacing old inefficient fluorescents with these led shop lights, no complaints and I’m ordering another eight tonight. Soon I’ll be around 800watts of power usage with all my lights on instead of the 1700 watts the old style use. Nice bright lights, affordable and haven’t had one issue yet and I’ve purchased eight so far
