Daisy 15xt
I was thunbing through my Wholesale Sports Cataloug, and I saw it. Looks like a fun little plinker. I looked on reviewcentre, but there's only one review, but the guys says it's good. So what are your thoughts? What is it made of?
Hey, don't hate. It releases negative energy, which is bad for everyone.
You serious? I think it looks really hot. With the short barrel and the drilled trigger... I think it looks really tactical and compact.

/!\ MY FIRST POST /!\
I was reading some customer reviews for bb pistols on amazon.com, trying to find a decent one at an affordable price. The Powerline 15XT received very positive feedback, and the kicker was that it was only 29.99 at Walmart.
Needless to say, I was very skeptical. But I figured, with 30 bucks you can't go wrong. I picked one of these up, tore off the packaging, and was immediately impressed, just by holding it. This little gun has a very solid, balanced feel to it. You really wouldn't expect the case to be made of plastic, but it is in fact quite sturdy. When you look at the pictures of the 15XT online, it may look kind of homely. Up close, it appears much more authentic, with the exception of the CO2 puncture screw that protrudes from the bottom (somewhat ugly)
However, looks aren't everything. I needed to test the performance. I nested the pistol in the cheap Crosman holster I bought with it, and took it to the woods.
The 15XT is a cakewalk to load; you just press your finger on the spring mechanism, slide it forward, and feed 15 bbs down into the side of the barrel. The CO2 cartridge actually fits inside the pistol grip, with the removable cover.
Anyways, the gun shot excellent. BBs whiz at 480 fps, with surprising accuracy. There isn't a doubt in my mind that you could kill a squirrel or bird with it, which is the reason I bought it. I wanted a quiet secondary weapon to use while either I'm hunting deer with my shotgun, or run out of ammo while hunting rabbits with my Crosman 1077.
Looks: 6/10
Feel: 9/10
Accuracy: 8/10
Power: 8/10
Price: unbeatable.
-The Bottom Line -
This gun is worth EVERY PENNY. Yes, the trigger has kind of a heavy pull, but regular lubrication will help. The gun is already oiled when you buy it. When you get enough adrenaline going, a heavy trigger pull is nothing - I emptied the semi-auto mag in seconds while chasing a squirrel around with the thing. He got away, but that is all part of the fun
I hope this is useful.
