Yeah.... its slow.... you can watch yer bullets in fact.... and they soft.... but one thing slow and soft don't affect is accuracy. Now you'll get some that will argue that, but they aren't arguing accuracy, they are arguing point blank range pretty much, but having a range finder helps if you're shooting ridiculously long ranges... which for me would be from 100 yards or so... but if you know your trajectory, and being hitting what you shoot at is so sexy and all... it gives you time to light up till it gets there..
