I got this one for Christmas from one of my kids and it’s a lot of fun once you take it apart and lubricated you realize it’s a very well-made end. The looks very classic. It’s lots of fun to use in. It shoots and fully automatic very very well.

Nothing to dislike about this product. I plan on buying another one or two

What a beautiful thing. very fun to use, I suggest to buy additional magazines, for they take a good minute or so to load. One 12g c02 will get you about 2 or 3 mags of use. And the box says its 360fps, dunno if it says that anywhere in the description.

This is a replica of my favorite gun in Resident Evil 4 and the same gun Natalya used in Destroy All Humans! 2, the Mauser C96. I was pleasantly surprised by the weight and feel of this BB gun. It definitely carries some weight which almost makes it feel like a two handed pistol which for more accuracy, it is.To start off with, loading the CO2 cartridge does require a hex wrench which I am not a fan of. I prefer the tool being a part of the gun to make it easier to swap out CO2 cartridges fast… or at least have a place to store the hex wrench… this is why I like the Glock 19 Gen 3 replica in this regards when it comes to replacing CO2 cartridges. It is sort of a pain to refill the BBs by holding back the spring with a finger nail while individually placing one BB in at a time. Thankfully, it can carry a decent amount, but only when shooting semi-automatic. The magazine capacity is almost too small for automatic because you’ll spent the magazine within a finger pull. It would be nice if they made better use of the size of the bulky magazine to hold more BBs by making the magazine more efficient at storing the CO2 cartridge and make more room to store more BBs. Now, you’ll be tempted to slam the magazine into the slot to lock and load, but don’t do this… this gun will jam easily when slamming the magazine inside the gun. You’ll have to be gentle with this gun when loading in the magazine, but not too gentle to where it won’t click in. To remove a jammed BB, you’ll need a paper clip or a thin metal wire to pop the BB out of the gun while the chamber is open. Keeping the chamber open can be difficult. This is a double action gun, which means you’ll have to pull back on the hammer to load the BB into the chamber. After this, aim at the target and fire away. The sound is muffled compared to the sharp sound from BB guns without a blowback feature because of the energy spent through the blowback and reloading the next BB into the chamber. This is good for realism, but not good for fast shooting which I don’t mind. Shooting this gun in full-auto is what makes this gun fun. It shoots very fast and has a distinct sound. It doesn’t shake your body, but it does jerk your arms from the recoil like a vibrating toy. Get ready to eat through your CO2 cartridges because this will consume your gas cartridges fast… haha This gun does have an adjustable site which I would like if it served a use? I never needed to adjust it as I kept it laying flat and seemed to have good accuracy regardless when shooting semi-automatic. It’s a good nod to the original firearm.Would I recommend this gun? Of course! Do I think this replica could be improved? Of course! This is much more affordable than the original WWI German gun and can be just as much fun to use.

I just happened upon this while looking at CO2 pistols for my son and was immediately drawn to it for its realistic appearance and blowback operation. I watched a few videos and showing it shooting on full auto and decided it was definitely a fun option - especially for 14 year old!When I got it I was surprised at how heavy it is. It is constructed of all die-cast metal, and I guess that's the thing in air guns. It's got that big, blocky, bold feel of the original, and I really like touches like the selector switch and safety lever, both designed way back when all this stuff was just being figured out. The magazine is also sturdy die-cast metal except for the threaded CO2 plug! One would think that would be the one part they would make out of honest steel, but not so. Maybe it's because the system needs a little "give" to avoid over tightening and the metal magazine body is unyielding. As with all these blowback BB guns, the heart of it is really the magazine. That's where the BBs go and where the CO2 cartridge goes, and where the firing valve is located. Looking closely you can see the large external hammer really impacts a solid steel "firing pin" located below the bolt and this transfers the impact to the magazine mounted CO2 Valve.I decided to do a test run so I added a drop of 3-in-1 oil to the top of a CO2 cartridge, inserted it into the magazine body and tightened down the plug being careful to not over-tighten it after I heard the hiss of gas being expelled, suddenly silenced as the O-ring sealed. I loaded up the magazine with some Zinc coated steel BBs and touched off a few shots in semi-auto. It worked perfectly! The bolt cycled back just like an original (BB adaptation of course) and re-cocked the hammer. The BBs easily penetrated two layers of Amazon shipping box cardboard from about 12 feet out. I then rotated the selector to full-auto and sure enough, "BbbbrrrrrapP! It spewed out a half dozen BBs instantly with a quick squeeze. I double-checked the magazine to see I still had ammo and loosed another short burst, and another, and M712 performed flawlessly! I didn't want to waste CO2, so I flipped back to semi-auto to shoot the last few BBs. Even when the gun runs out of BBs, as long as there is CO2 it will continue to cycle which can also be fun.Then a strange thing happened. I racked the bolt and saw I had one more BB in the barrel, and when I pulled the trigger nothing happened! The hammer dropped, but nothing happened. I pulled the magazine to inspect the valve, checked out the long firing pin and hammer and was totally perplexed as to why the gun suddenly refused to function! All the controls looked good...I even used the end of a large Allen wrench to press the CO2 valve and was rewarded with a powerful hiss of escaping gas so I knew the gun should work. Well, it took me a few minutes to figure out that I had manually lowered the hammer after checking the chamber. Apparently the bolt must cycle back to cock the hammer to properly "set" the firing pin and since I had been trying to shoot it by manually cocking the hammer without cycling the action nothing happened. As soon as I racked the bolt back to cock the hammer and saw the stainless steel firing pin protruding out I knew what I had been doing wrong. Sure enough, a pull on the trigger and the gun shot and cycled as designed! The problem was not the pistol but my lack of familiarity with how it works and not following the proper sequence.Time will tell how well the M712 will hold up, but it looks pretty sturdy and because it's marketed by Umarex I know I will be able to find replacement parts if and when I need them.
