well, since every post has been about you being in CA and not in AZ, i'll help you out with the auto hardballer II. i needed a springer, so i bought one. needless to say, a springer is a springer. but for a springer, it think its pretty good. makes more sense to have a shotgun for a springer than like an ak47 or something,you know? anyway, its a little bit light, but it has a good feel. it pumps easily, and it has a semi auto feature (hold down the trigger and just pump it.) i found that using 0.12 g BBs is really bad. the gun shoots them and they spin in random directions because of the hopup, so use 0.20 g BBs. all this, and its around 40 dollars. i say, go for it.
