Spring/Piston Diana RWS 45

Hi Everyone, any stories or experiences about the Diana RWS 45 here? I just won an online auction and received it last Thursday, haven't opened the package yet, I hope it shoots as well as it looked online.

I'm afraid I can't be of much help. The first I heard of the RWS 45 was in a Beeman catalog from the early 80's. The velocity potential was impressive but the only time I saw one was at a gun shop where the clerk cocked it and fired it without a pellet in it to show another customer how loud it was. Since I knew that firing a springer unloaded could cause damage and the salesman apparently didn't, I decided to look somewhere else.
