I loved this pistol with all my STAR WARS nerd-loving heart...until the bolt assembly fell apart 3 months after I bought it. CORRECTION: A piece of the bolt assembly flew out and hit me in the face while I was firing in full auto. I never abused the pistol, used the typical green gas, etc.
It was a nightmare to contact Armorer Works for the replacement part. They are based in China and it took them nearly 3 weeks to respond to messages via FaceBook, Twitter and emails.
I also contacted this retailer (who I bought the pistol from) but it was beyond their return date policy so I was stuck playing tag with AW. I Finally got the part but I also wanted answers as to why the gun broke so soon but AW have yet to respond.
So if you own this beautiful pistol, display it beside the lightsaber on your shelf and don't fire it too much. She's a beauty to behold, just don't ever touch it.
