I only tried a few shots out of it to show my uncle who was visiting from Germany. Several of them ricocheted off the inside of the muzzle brake. I don't know if it always did this or because of something I did. I never shot it before because it didn't interest me. Without a muzzle blast, cannon recoil and deafening roar I don't use the gun. My uncle wanted my second stock Pershing but it wouldnt fit in his suitcase.
He DID go back to Germany with a R/C Ultimate Soldier Panzer IV. Nice to know a Panzer is going "home"!
