Not used it in a game but have held and dry fired it. I personally as a cocker pump fan, instantly dismissed the empire sniper off as soon as it came out. How ever after pumping it an firing it, it is so much smoother than even my ccm'd cocker pump. It to me feels more like a sterling in terms of smoothness. And the hitman mod is a nice touch as is the barrel set included. I would buy one tomorrow if I had the money and less pumps alteady
