yea my older knight is the same way, heavy. I guess that's just the way they build their guns. I was looking at the disk because it was affordable and had decent reviews. But yea ill look into some of their other models before I decide what to get. If anyone else has any reviews on that model still let me know. I didn't even think of putting that in the blackpowder section ha there is so many forums on here. I figured "guns" was easy enough.
