Over 1500 rds w/o malfunction(1 dud cart.). It does get hot enough to make you anticipate plastic melting---- never happens. Accuracy is equal to my car16 and most shooting was done with 2003-2007 Wolf ammo at 100--300m. I have seen some blogs panning this gun--either not true or there is a quality control problem. Perfect lightwieght for packing and low profile introduction.
