Lancer Tactical Scorpion 0.5 Caliber Non-Blowback Air Pistol - Less Lethal, Ideal for Home and Personal Defense, Police-Grade Pepper Projectile Gun-(Black Package)

Great product! It gave me the protection I need.

When I purchased this the very first two times I used it I had zero problems but shortly thereafter it seemed to have a CO2 leak every single time I tried to use it. If you're going to use it only for an emergency, that may be of concern because you want to make sure you have maximum velocity

I would give it zero stars but it ask for a star.This gun is peace of junk. When you put the clip in it tries to load two balls. When it does load right you get one or two shots before it jams. You can't stick the cartridge without the clip coming out.

I take this when I go hiking and such. Good range, and the ammo isnt too expensive!

I just got this in a few days ago and while the gun and packaging look great I noticed the mag release catch will not lock into place. I've tried this with safety off, holding the mag release catch before loading the mag, fiddling with the mag release catch once the mag is inserted and no dice. It seems to hold the mag on friction alone but if I give it a solid shake the mag drops down. When I press the mag release it gives enough clearance to get a fingernail in under the mag to pull it out but it doesn't drop free. I don't see any other comments on this issue so im assuming this is a one off and not the expected use case. I haven't had a chance to test the pistol yet but I'm concerned the mag dropping out a bit will affect the feed rendering the gun unreliable.

This Lancer Tactical Scorpion 0.5 Caliber Non-Blowback Air Pistol has pretty solid build. Looks and almost feels (a bit lighter) than a 1911. It is easy to operate...just put the safety on before replacing or inserting the CO2 cartridge. This kit comes with both pepper balls and rubber balls. I have shot the rubber balls, but not the pepper balls, so I'm not sure how effective they are. The rubber balls seem to be pretty accurate at 25-30 ft. I haven't tried it at the 60ft range that is advertised. I'm sure that the rubber balls would hurt quite a bit, but not sure if they would disable a person running towards you. I actually plan to have this with me hiking as we typically encounter coyotes and bears when we hike, just gives me some sort of reassurance although I'm not sure how effective this would be against animals. One recommendation I would give is for emergency purposes, I would have the CO2 cartridge installed, but not punctured until you need it. The CO2 seems to leak a bit as I did a few shots and then put the gun away for a week and and when I tried to use it again, it was completely dead.Overall it seems like a good, non-lethal firearm.

This is a fun gun to shoot. Don't drop it though, If it is loaded it will fire. Even if it falls from a foot up. Other than that it's pretty cool.

First off, you need to lube the rubber bullets or they will jam. This should be obvious, but I see someone was having jamming issues. I have shot all the rubber bullets multiple times and it has never jammed.The safety works like a 1911. Everything but the mag release is like a 1911.The rubber bullets do not have the force to puncture a bottle. They will knock it over though. I'm not sure it would really stop someone, but it sure would make them angry.It is fairly accurate. I can get a 3" grouping at 25 yards. Not bad for what it is.The quality is fine. It's plastic, but that makes it light.
