Will be interesting to see how accurate it is, and how consistent velocity remains with rapid firing.

I periodically take out my old Crosman 600 semiauto pistol and blaze through a CO2 cartrdge.  It is very wasteful of gas, but great fun as well.

he shows some accuracy tests - not bad. I thought of getting one to replace my .22 Disco but the Wildfre is .177

Usual route is also a .22 model, so maybe.   Would hope the velocity in .22 is close to the Disco.  I get around 840 or so with Crosman HP.

The price seems awful low compared to a Marauder.

edit: looked at the specs for the .177 and it says for lead pellets "up to 700" so no way would a .22 version approach the Disco.  Maybe the low velocity is a trade off for high shot count.  Sure get no where close to "up to 60 shots" from a Disco fill.

The aftermarket may have some mods soon for the gun.
