    Not arrived yet, Jim- guessing its just the post backlog in the UK- not unusual for post from the US to take a while- even more so at this time of year. Looking forward to popping 3 mags in a row without having to reload one again and again

    Like your ANICS Adam.
    New years resolution not to pick on Nick anymore.
    Great asset to our SUB FORUM.
    Why no first page yet?
    Is it love or money that is required for promotion?

    Nearly misspelt Blowback Ooop!

    You ain't goin to be happy till you have one of each,

    Then you can moan about the one you like least on the BBS innit?

    Walther PPK 15 rounds in BB as fast as you can pull the trigger, coke can to ally lace in less than 3 seconds,

    Walther CP99 18 rounds in BB, coke can to ally vapour, in less than 3 seconds,

    Both blowback, both immense fun, please include in your costing shooting glasses, steel BB is a so and so for ricochet,

    Bags of Umarex and the like 8 shot pellet guns out there,

    A Smith and Wesson whilst not the cheapest gun out there, will give you accurate shooting in .177/4.5mm, from 4in/6in or 8inch barrels, plus 2 ten round mags,

    Whatever you get wear eye protection and have a blast

    CP99 v CP99 Compact

    Confusingly the CP99 is non-blowback, pellet firing, from the standard Umarex 8 round revolver type mags.
    It's the CP99 Compact which is blowback and BB firing .

    You would have lots of fun seating the pellets with a biro and it would still jam and be wildly inaccurate.
    I had one, and never had any jams or problems at all with it. I seated the pellets by pushing each one in slightly with the edge of the next pellet to be loaded.
    Not very accurate sometimes, but it was nice to shoot, and with a nice trigger as well.
