Gauntlet Gauntlet Limited

[bchannell]

Are they out yet? Anyone handle one, I saw the promo here. I really like the Gauntlet platform after my pal bought a used one and it shot like a laser. It really is one of those 95% barrel guns. Then I looked up the specs on the new Limited and.... well... too long, too heavy and 67 shots per 300 bar fill seems awfully inefficient to me.
Someone should tell Umarex that the trend, at least for now, is short, light, powerful and efficient.
My guess is if you shoot off a bench it'll be great, but then again, there's tons of guns that would be much better for that.

I hear what your saying but I think the length really is one of the reason it shoots so accurately. I know my current distaste for bullpups and compacts, is just that I can't shoot them as easily, or well as, I used to be able to. You're right though, and I have said elsewhere too, that this gun is going to be a hard sell with the competition it has out there, at it's asking price. Still great shooting guns though.
