1. It is a very good design, extremely well made and has stood the test of test.
2. They are accurate and fun to shoot, not always true in collectable guns
3. There were many variants to continue collecting interest.
4. They were widely exported, so everybody is in the game.


1. 'It is a very good design'. - It couldn't be a worse design! The piston travels backwards and the compressed air has to to through TWO 90 degree bends. Other manufacturers try to keep the air transfer as smooth and straight as possible.
'extremely well made' apart from the cocking linkages.

2. 'They are accurate' Compared to a Gat - yes.

3. 'There are many variants'. Yes there is the same basic design repeated over and over again with the only slight difference being barrel length, patent numbers, grip .....

4. 'so everybody is in the game'. NO!
