With a maximum velocity of 700 fps, the gun shoots quite accurately in the 280 yards range.

The magazine is well designed with the CO2 staying in when released and the mag seal keeps all the CO2 intact until you are ready to use it the next time.

The CO2 mag contains two tabs with the first tab discharging it from the chamber and the second tab discharging it from the gun to prevent the shooter from dropping it.
