So what's the difference between that one and the Steel Force:

Lower rated fps; larger BB reservoir; longer barrel; both have same 2 X 12 gram Co2 power source...

I would say way better BB loading in the mag! The 2 Co2 go into the tube of the stock instead of the magazine.

I'm wondering to if there will be extra mags to buy too.

I agree!

That video really makes it clear how much easier it is to load the BBs!!

co2 in the tube just like the design of the mp5, and BBs in the mag is way more better and plays truely like a replica not the shake-shake-shake~

And the out look like a Sig MPX, I like that!

Like to have one too ~

This looks very tempting. I'll wait to see the reviews in the future before making the plunge.

The only thing I don't like about it is the goofy looking "oversized flash hider" like they call it. I would have prefered something like the MP5 or Steel Force, something you can add a mock silencer for airsoft guns on it or at least looks close to real. But I'll still get one. 100$ is cheap enough to be added to the collection for 6 round burst fun.

You can’t buy a single airgun for everything. Golfers use many different clubs, airgunners need more than one gun

I think the final price up here would be similar to the MP5, around 150$ plus tax...

But it's acceptable to add it to the collection ~

I paid 90 for mine while visiting the US. Went to WalMart and checking out airguns and there it was, looking at me 89,95$ the dollar was at a pretty good echange rate and the gun was cheaper than what it sold for at PyramydAir. I jumped on it. Not as good as the deal I got on the used FAS 609 but still pretty good!

I am wondering how did you bring it across the border? Just told the officer you have an airgun in the trunk?!

Fainted..................

A very very long time ago I packed a spring powered 6mm airsoft handgun into my case and forgot ( yes, I did really forgot I put this thing into my case )... But it had been found by the airport security when I arrived Canada because the little cute dog smelled out I had some jerks and I was asked to open all my baggages in front of the lady... And the lady took a gun out of my case and scared my shxt out~ [emoji29][emoji29]
