You just never knew if a cartridge was going to discharge when you pulled the trigger and that played havoc with my confidence, as I am sure you can imagine. The Uberti, with its case hardened finish was as much a work of art as an air pistol. Trouble was its accuracy was non existent and the cartridges seemed even more unreliable than the Specialist's, although I think they were both the same.

It's still a crying shame the airgunning public were conned out of buying these classics though.

Kind regards,

I throw the charged carts into a pyrex bowl of water as I fill them, if I see any bubbles then the offending cart is emptied, a little oil put on the seal and refilled. Nine times out of ten this fixes the issue, and it is very rare I get a "dud" in use.
The Specialist is a converted copy of the HW357 Hunter, so not really a realistic copy, just a converted firearm.

As far as the OP goes, the Mak isn't realistic either, it is the real gun converted to co2. It looks and feels great but is as exciting to shoot as kissing your grandma. The Umarex Glocks are (imo) identical in looks, weight and feel and are much more entertaining to shoot. Get the BB blowback gen 4 for the best version
