I think the Makarov is the best multi shot c02 that I have, mine is an an early one and I think the later versions have a cast top slide rather than the milled out ones. The first ones for this reason are probability more solid. I have heard there is a mag that takes pellets for this pistol but not sure if this is so, as it sounds like it will just jam up. Would be interested if anyone has tried one of these.
