Yep they are fun to shoot, maybe I just got lucky too but I don't remember ever having a malfunction problem, it's just my ability or lack of I guess to shoot it very accurately,most of the time I feel like I would be better throwing rocks..ha. My Grandsons can shoot it much better than me, I guess that's what happens when you get old. Not to bag on this gun I have the same problem with all my 2in. barrel handguns
