To start out with the gun is extremely heavy . I dont think that the gun is balanced very well either . A lot of their models dont include selectable barrels . The gun doent fit me very well and it hurts my face if I shoot it a lot . Another friend of mine won one at a Ducks unlimited shoot . The gun bruised his face and he sold it almost immediately . A member out at the club has one . He was shooting a game of trap with it and about 3/4 of the way through the game the gun came apart while he was shooting . He shot , I looked over at him and he had two pieces of a shotgun in his hands . I dont know if it broke , I dont know if it wasnt assembled right . Off of the top of my head I cant think of any gun that will function if it is not assembled correctly . I havent been happy with mine at all and I wish I would have spent the money on something else .
