Question 1

Does it have an orange tip? Because I'm looking for a gun to scare away intruders for home protection, but not to KILL any intruders

Accepted Answer

Ryan25 (The following is personal opinion, do your own research and make your own decisions)To answer your question, from a reasonable distance, the S&W M&P 40 airgun does indeed look fairly authentic, even in good light. But as far as using it as a deterrent? Uh... no. You might as well paint a bulls-eye on your chest.Back when personal computers came out, one of the questions going through people's minds was "do I need one?" Perhaps our current debate on guns has spurred something similar in your mind, and you wouldn't be the only person to ask themselves "do I need a gun?" No one can answer that for you but you.You start by evaluating your life, your relationships, your living conditions. If you do not feel threatened in anyway, then perhaps a gun is not for you. If you are not willing to take a life to save your own, then again, perhaps a gun is not for you. But using a "pretend" gun to deter intruders might be the worst decision of your life.If you have a genuine concern about your personal safety, be sure you keep a cellphone charged and on at night for fast 911 dialing. An expert home invader might cut your phone line before entering. Inexpensive battery-operated devices can be affixed to your door which make a fabulous amount of sound if the door is opened when it is armed. Be sure you have deadbolts on all your doors, and make it a habit each night to check the doors and windows before going to bed. Have you practiced an escape route in case of fire or break-in? If your bedroom is on an upper floor, consider a roll-up ladder you can hide under your bed. Don't leave windows open at night. Keep a small high-intensity flashlight on your bedside table. If you worry you may have a face-to-face with an intruder and don't want to use a gun, look into the various pepper sprays. I believe they are legal in all states, though the concentration and shipping regulated in a handful of states. Some even come in a gun-shaped dispenser (with a 25 foot range!) - though there again, what would an intruder do if he saw it before you could use it? I believe animal deterrent sprays are less regulated.The bottom line if you are concerned for your safety and do not believe you can take a life, your alternative is to flee or subdue and flee. Just search for non-lethal defense on Amazon or the internet and find real solutions, not a toy one.

Question 2

Where to get the CO2 cartridge? Do i need to buy an extra one?

Accepted Answer

You change the CO2 cartridge about every 80-100 shots. Use Crosman and apply a drop of gun oil on top to prevent leakage. Both are available on Amazon.  Walmart has them, for slightly more $

Question 3

Has anyone tested the actual velocity of this pistol on a chronograph?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With Zinc Coated Daisy BB's it chronographed at 482 FPS with a BRAND NEW C02. After 20 or so shots it falls into the low 470's. But I've managed 150 shots with the Crosman C02. Def an ergonomic C02 miser. Well worth $30

Question 4

Does this come with any accessories..? Pellets..etc..?

Accepted Answer

1. It's a BB gun, so it won't shoot pellets. It doesn't come with bb's. It does come with 1 magazine, but if that isn't enough it is easy to get more for it.
