Comments: The Umarex Steel Storm Tactical 4.5mm BB gun has a 30-shot magazine capacity along with a gravity fed 300-round BB reserve that makes reloading even faster and easier! This allows you to shoot five 6-shot bursts very quickly. You can also shoot in single shot semi-auto mode. The Steel Storm has the feel of a real gun. To keep the fun going, it is powered by dual 12 g CO2 capsules. The CO2 is housed in a drop-out style magazine for easy access.
Gotta say the only things I wish this had was more Metal and Blowback. Other than the two? Nothing!

Lots of fun BB machine pistol
I purchased this for blasting pop cans and targets in the woods. So far, its been a lot of fun and seems to last a long time on the 2 cartridges. With 6 shot bursts, you need to pause for a minute or two after about 5-6 bursts and let it warm up a bit as the cartridges freeze up quicker under full auto burst than semi auto. Single shot mode, you can just keep pulling the trigger and not worry unless its cold outside.
Quick hint, to keep you from wasting CO2, right handed shooters can hold the gun so the fill lever hits your thumb and lets you know its empty, as its easy to keep shooting after its empty on full auto mode. Also, be careful storing this gun with BB's in it as the hopper lid doesn't lock closed and you can easily dump out hundreds of BB's if you are not careful. A rubber band around the front end while storing is a good idea.
Overall, very happy with the purchase. Gun works perfectly and seems very solidly built. Also easy to convert to full auto but I won't be doing that as it will aggravate the cartridge freezing issue with full auto guns and will cost you a LOT in BB's, LOL. Definitely worth the money for the fun factor alone.

Burst mode bonanza!
This thing is so much fun. The first pull of the trigger in 6 shot burst mode will put a huge smile on your face. I put over 1000 rounds through it the first use.Fairly accurate even though the sites aren't the best I've ever used. My only complaint is the spring for the 30 round chamber is cheap and you gotta be gentle. After 90 shots I had to pull outwards while sliding the spring into the locking position. Be careful. Once I figured that out I had no problem. Plinking for hours until it was too dark. I recommend. As long as you oil it as per manufacturer recommendations it should last for years.

Awesome fun
For the price, there is no better fun out there. I own a dozen BB guns and this one tops it off in that price range. Be prepared to spit out a lot of $$$ in CO2 since shooting this is so addictive. This gun is actually what made me discover this site and it's great prices and reviews. I highly recommend a red dot scope for improved accuracy.

The Irrationally Fun, Fun-Gun
When I bought this(from another retailer unfortunately), I researched, bought both the Paint ball tank conversion kit, and a "Tasco" Red Dot(inexpensive and commonly found in "Canadian Tire" stock). I first tried it without all the gear on it/in it, and it was so fun to shoot, I burned through CO2 carts like a GE minigun burns through ammo! When I used the larger paintball tank, connected the Red Dot sight, slapped on the eye protection, stuck targets up, I went through what would have been CO2 cart after CO2 cart, disconnected, checked the pressure of the tank, thought I was going to need a recharge with the way the gauge looked. Turns out I did not, and still have that tank charged and ready to go plinking at a moment's notice. Bottom line:this is a FUN GUN that also happens to be quite accurate in 3 bursts of 6, or single ptuwee pause pause pause ptuwee shots, or bluntly:until you have to shake the heck outta the thing to reload and turn yourself into a weirdo with the way this gun makes you appear when you reload. The Etch-A-Sketch of Flaming Shiny Metal DeathBalls might have been a more realistic name, but marketing wouldn't approve, I'm sure! I was shooting into a heavy shipping box filled with styrofoam, at tape targets the size of your thumb(well, actually the size of MY thumb) or smaller, roughly 20 feet away from target, seated(the tank etc can be bulky, so I sit and plink away), and I was getting RICOCHETS? I recommend highly, in the event of experiencing the non optically inserted "return to sender" BB's that smacked me in the plastic protected peri orbital region, to ALWAYS BE WEARING YOUR EYE PROTECTION WHEN SHOOTING A GUN, of any kind. I might even go so far as wearing protection when servicing or maintaining said BBgun, or admiring it from a distance on the wrong end, but I digress. Myself, I recommend getting 2 Steel Storms, with two tanks, a decent tactical vest/padded backpack that will hold both tanks and allow the air tube to reach the dual leg holsters(HPK style holster), set up lots of pop cans, targets, pepper poppers, balloons, old paper plates, action figures you no longer want/your sister's dolls(if you are cruel, that is), and blast, shake, and turn those targets to powder! Enjoy!
