Well, they're all old, so they can be twitchy. I had to have mine tweeked by the gunsmith, and it still has some issues (shoots modern ammo fine, but jams on the surplus stuff I picked up on the cheap). You'll also pay through the nose for one in good shape. And it's not like a modern gun, it takes both oil and grease, and you need to know what you're doing to take care of it.
But it's fun. And accurate. Puts big holes in things. Kicks pretty good, too. I definitely felt it the next day.
