The construction of this piece well exceeds what you pay for it very sturdy and feels amazing to wield I live in the city so some airguns aren't suitable for backyard fun without causing a stir I can shoot hundreds of pellets without being a nuisance to my lovely neighbors with this diana I have yet to try it in pistol form I feel the moderator should be detachable to swap it across both barrels without forcefully removing from rifle barrel id advise purchasing this it definitely packs a punch for just a c02 gun but I don't think it hits hard enough to humanly dispatch anything more than a squirrel or wouldn't purchase for sole purpose of pest control the only bad thing I can say about this product is one magazine should be included in purchase even if you increased the price by 20 bucks I paid 32 dollars for a tiny plastic magazine if a gun is able to fire with a mag it should be included it's like buying sneakers without laces
