I really like this kit, even if it's a bit expensive.
What I like:
- The firing mechanism is much more reliable than that of other brick guns I've built, even if still not quite perfect.
- The surface is really smooth. You see very few brick studs or holes.
- Rubber bands are included.
- Sight is adjustable.
- Looks really good.
- Trigger automatically returns to origin position, unlike other models I've built.
- Very few unclear steps during assembly.
What I dislike:
- Some bricks are just a tiiiny bit differently colored. It's barely noticeable unless you know it's there, though.
- While I get it's a brick gun, it's still a bit unstable. I was trying to hold it by just the stock and the whole barrel and body came off. Other brick guns I've built have been more stable.
- The trigger takes a loooot of force to push.
- The bullet loading mechanism is only about 60% reliable and jams often (bullets being not straight).
- The bolt knob is pretty easy to rip off when not grabbing the bolt by the other bricks.
What I would like to see improved in future products:
- In the manual, it'd be really nice if long parts showed the number of studs. Counting 13 studs in the manual is tedious when there could just be a "13" next to the brick picture.
- The rubber band final assembly was not directly shown step by step in the video. I understand this is probably for legal reasons, but still something that should be solved differently.
All in all, I really like the model as a display model, but the ability to actually shoot bricks should be considered a nice bonus, and not the reason you buy the model.
