Soft Bullet Toy Gun - Stress Shot with Semi-Automatic Mode, Realistic Shell Ejecting Toy Guns, Birthday Gift (Sandy Color)

Fun toy. Double feeds often. I haven't quite got loading down yet. When I put the magazine in, and let the slide forward, it shoots right away, or the ammo falls out.It does not have an orange tip at all. It looks real, so beware.

The media could not be loaded. Every once in a while it gets jammed, but all you have to do is pull the slide back and let go

Cool

First off, the concept for this toy gun is amazing! I love that its mechanism of action works similar to a real semi-automatic pistol, and it looks great as well. For such a great item, I'm going all out on this review!Ways the mechanisms are similar to a real gun:- Individual shell casings store the energy to shoot the bullet. Real ammunition uses a propellant like gunpowder, while this toy uses a spring inside each shell casing.- The shell casing has a primer that is activated when struck by the firing pin. When struck, the primer on real ammunition ignites propellant, forcing the bullet out the barrel and down range. When the primer is struck on this toy gun, it releases the compressed spring, forcing the bullet out the barrel and down range.- The bullets are loaded into the magazines, and the mags are loaded into the gun, just like the real thing.- The way it looks while shooting is similar to a real semi-auto pistol. Each trigger pull (after the first one) causes the bullet to fire, the slide to work backward then forward while ejecting the spent casing, and a new shell to be chambered.How it's different from a real gun:- The recoil of a real semi-auto pistol is what causes the backward movement of the slide and subsequent loading of the next shell. This toy obviously doesn't have enough recoil for that to happen, so the act of pulling the trigger is what causes the backward movement of the slide.- This causes a fundamental difference between the toy and a real semi-auto pistol, and is the reason the first shot doesn't eject a spent cartridge. The spent cartridge that gets ejected is from the previous bullet.My positive thoughts:- I love the concept! The fact they engineered it to operate similar to a real pistol is absolutely fantastic.- It's so much fun to pull the trigger as fast as possible and completely unload! Just like with a real semi-auto, there's nothing quite like the feel of sending a huge number of bullets down range as fast as you can.- It feels good in the hand. It's not super flimsy and cheap, but I'd still highly recommend you don't drop it because it IS made of plastic.- The trigger pull is smooth enough. It feels similar to firing a real gun, minus the recoil of course.- It fires the bullets a decent distance, maybe twenty feet or so. They fire with enough power to slightly sting when getting shot at close range. Definitely don't shoot someone in the face because you just might shoot your eye out.My negative thoughts:- THERE IS NO ORANGE TIP! This can be a big negative in my opinion. Legally, it seems that it's not required to have an orange tip (I checked), but it looks enough like a real gun that it could easily be mistaken for real. With that in mind, I wouldn't give it to kids to play with.- The bullets and shells are easily lost. I've already lost one bullet, and I'm confident it won't be the last one I lose. This is another reason I wouldn't let kids play with it.- Some of the bullets don't fit into the shell casings properly. This is due to sloppy manufacturing. It's not a huge deal, most fit after trying different shells. Could also probably be fixed with some sandpaper and a bit of patience.Final thoughts:Is this something I plan to play around with every day? No. With that said, it's a great bit of engineering and I'll definitely be showing it off to friends and family who are at all interested in guns.

jams a lot and stopped working after 3 months. Buy it though its good

My RamblingsWhen I was a kid, we actually shot things at each other all the time... without eye or any other protection. I'm not recommending it, just saying. It wasn't until a few years later that I was taught gun safety, so having this realistic, projectile firing weapon is a great opportunity to teach my kids how to safely put rounds down range. Let's take a closer look (but not down the barrel end before clearing. First lesson free).To the Point or TL;DRRealistic indeed, Easy to load bullet in casing, Rounds feed into magazine easily, Don't tap magazine to seat rounds, Heavy trigger pull for younger kids, Action works, but sometimes iffy, Occasional jam, Needs lubricant, Not highly accurate, Single trigger (sans glock safety trigger).The Good & Bad StuffThis is a realistic plastic pistol and great for training gun basics and safety to kids or people new to the sport, such as keep finger out of guard, firing, how to handle a jam, loading, inserting and releasing magazines, locking the slide, and aiming, just to name a few.The Gun Mechanism works by firing the projectile as soon as it is loaded into the chamber. The ejected round is not the one just fired but the round feeding from the magazine. Just FYI.Slide lock works, but also keeps the action from being smooth while firing. We found it needs lubricant. Thought about putting gun oil on it to improve the action, but decided on powdered graphite. The graphite significantly improved the feed and action.Don't seat your rounds. It will make some of the rounds fire in the magazine. So, if you have the habit and want to pass it forward, teach but don't do.Where do you buy more ammunition?!? Know what would be great? If they put a small amount of magnet in the tip of each bullet so I could use my big magnet to collect or find them.The younger ones will have a hard time with the grip size and will definitely need both hands. Maybe even both index fingers to pull the trigger.Who May Use/Like ItAnyone looking to do some training and short range plinking of cans and targets.Me Final ThoughtsOverall this is a decent, not threatening, training weapon for young beginners in our sport. It has some downsides, but with a little lubricant, and maybe a file, it can be useful. My kids are enjoying it and learning with great gusto.That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hope it helps!All the best, Just BenjaminReviewed: Brand: Stoytto Cost: $29.99 at time of review.Soft Bullet Toy Gun - Stress Shot with Semi-Automatic Mode, Realistic Shell Ejecting Toy Guns, Birthday Gift (Sandy Color)

Stoytto created a Glock 18 replica that looks exactly like it's real life counter part, and something akin to a side arm I've carried. The kit comes with 2 magazines, 18 shells, and a bunch of red tip bullets. The magazines hold 7 shells a piece. You can put 8 shells in a magazine, and they fit, but it will cause the Glock 18 to jam.The Glock 18 is an average sized pistol, and easy to pull the trigger for any sized hands. It also features a working slide lock, but it's somewhat functional/non-functional due to the slide working based on trigger pull and not by gas-powered recoil. Careful taking it outside--there are no orange tip markings helping identify it as a toy gun.It's effective range is about 15 feet, which is somewhat disappointing. It strangely also does not out perform the smaller POUGEO Walther PPQ toy pistol in distance. Our Glock 18 occasionally misfires where the bullet pops out of the ejection port, but the shell does not. As said above, it jams only when the magazine is loaded with 8 shells.Overall, I recommend Stoytto's Glock 18--it's realistic looking, has a short effective range, and jams/misfires infrequently.
