It's much better in video games than in real life...

My thoughts exactly. It seems like nothing more than a novelty to me. It's an interesting design, and it shoots fairly well, but it seems like a gun searching for a use.

I could buy other toys for less money and get more use out of them, so I'll pass on the DE.

yeah, i wont own one.

I owned one for two weeks back in 1998. I was not very impressed. First off, the fixed sights were dead on. For 200 yard shooting! It was something like 2 feet high at 25 yards. You could hit the 200 yard gong (36") fairly regularly by holding right on it. And the brass had a tendency to be thrown righ in your face. Not too annoying if it is a 22lr, but those big AE cases get your attention. And it did jam twice over the course of 200 rounds. And as a result of one of those jams, a buddy lost a good bit of thumb meat trying to clear it. All in all I was not impressed in the least with it. Needed to work on the sights, jammed a couple of times, and I couldn't hunt with it here.

Only good thing was when I traded it. I gave a guy $700 for it, and was allowed $950 on trade.
