The Weiss Pop Gun makes a great sound! It just took me took me a week and several emails to figure out how to make it work! Even the video from Weiss was not clear because the mechanism is, to me, so counter-intuitive. Occasionally a very strong push misfires so the player must become very familiar with the instrument to insure consistency. But it DOES make a great POP!

Good sounding gun
Comments:
I've used this model on a Broadway show tour where a misfire is big no-no. This gun is reliable if cork is loaded securely and you fire it in one motion. To fire it one-handed put the ball into your gut or on your leg if seated at drum kit. I put Velcro on the ball to prevent it slipping off body and causing a misfire. The little double-threaded metal piece that connects both rods can work loose during breakdown/storage/transit. If you lose it, the gun is worthless. It's happened to me.
Would love Weiss to offer REPLACEMENT CORKS.
Thank you, Lee

Pop Gun
Comments:
This is the IDEAL sound for a percussion ensemble or concert band.
I am not giving it a 5 due to my concern that the cork will not last much more than 3 months, with daily use in rehearsals/performances.
Love The Sound!

item and customer service
Comments:
I want to give a shout out to Weiss - great product, fast delivery and amazing customer service. I had an issue - which turned out to be MY issue, human error in using the item(whoops) - BUT customer service was right on it, sent me another product immediately, gave me a return label for the other. When I realized my mistake, they were equally understanding. It was a great experience all around. The product is perfect for my needs, high quality, and I would highly recommend them to colleagues and friends!! THANK YOU!!!

Best Pop Gun in the World
Comments:
I mean, it's the only one I found that wasn't a toy, and it's a SERIOUS pop gun. A pop gun for the ages. Makes a huge, controlled, sharp, pop. My only complaint is that there's no obvious way to get a replacement cork. We'll have to work on that. Excellent product otherwise!
