For the price I paid when they first appeared and the performance they gave they are worth the money and perfect for beginners and/or people on a very tight budget. Sure they won't last 10 years but I know Krakens that have had a simple shim job and had been playing perfect for 5 years now. The one from this review out did most of the "name brand" guns in speed, distance, and accuracy.
I'm surprised my review has lasted this long!
