Sorry for the long wait fellas I thought Id put a few tins through the gun before I Gave you guys my thoughts ....Pros the gun imo looks the part nice CF barrel and shroud , shinny 500cc CF tank , came with 3 mags , aluminum folding stock , I would say back yard friendly . aired up with a scope probably weighs around 7ibs ish .....Cons the mags ( at least the ones I got with the gun ) don't cycle as well as they should the probe hits the skirt instead of the center of the pellet and jambs up the gun BUT after about a thousand rounds this has only happened a handful of times . The trigger straight out of the box was pretty stiff and has no adjustment I figured I would wait and see If It got better over time and It did they need to put an adjustable trigger on the gun If they want to make It a competitor to FX dream line guns ect . So when I first got the gun groups at 25 yards were about 1/2 inch at 85 yards groups were like a shot gun all over the place , as the trigger got better 25 yards are pellet on pellet at 80 yards they are around 1" groups , i wasn't banging the shots out I took my time which payed off . Using 18g JSB .22 at 23mpa fill velocity was 1050 fps down to 18mpa at around 820 fps and getting a good 60 shots , although the gun Is not regulated It Is very constant . For less than $1k I have no regrets in buying this gun I really like It yes Its not perfect but what gun Is If you are willing to persevere with It It will put a smile on your face .

How’s the accuracy so far? Can you adjust power and trigger?
I just received my carbine today and with no way to attach a moderator I can’t shoot it until I find a place to shoot and probably need to wear ear plugs. Also with no easy to adjust power that I can see the gun shakes quite a bit and a loud ping to it which is a surprise for a carbon bottle.
I must say the gun looks great! The design and build is actually really nice. the Form tor is alway awesome with good balance and over all size. But where they just miss the point and the opportunity to be a great gun is the details like ability to attach standard moderator and lack of easy power adjustments or trigger adjustment.

that accuracy you are getting is much better than i was expecting! thank you for taking the time to post that much detail!
i was also expecting a little more shot count with the 500cc bottle, but 60 shots a ~ 45-30fpe isn't too shabby!

The sun came out and so did the assassin . targets were at 30 and 80 yards ....6 shots at the 30 yard target to easy , 3 mags ( 36 ) shots at the 80 yard target with a couple of flyers either side using JSB 18G first shot 1016 fps last shot 935 fps impressive consistent power for an unregulated gun . At the 80 yard target I aimed for the bottom bulls eye 6 shots with 25g JSB 881 to 870 psi and that was after 42 shots with the 18g . I think the gun has settled In a lot no hang ups with the magazines and either I'm getting used to the trigger or Its a lot better than It was when I got It .
First pic 30 yrds second 80 yrds .

You have to be lucky to make target at a dove/ rat/ squirell at 80 yards with that grouping.

The gun Is a semi auto and I belted a lot of those shots out , but having said that the guns only as good as the shooter mate , maybe you could do better .

Who shoots rats at 80 yards? This is NOT a precision bench rest gun, it’s carry in the woods semi auto and fun gun. All things considered it’s pretty good. more shots you send targets way the more luck you will have!
