@creeksidewilly Umarex makes real weapons too. However, I prefer the Gamo Magnums/Maxims, break barrels, no cartridges to buy and the Gamo's have ten round mags now so after each shot, just break the barrel and it's all charged up. However, whichever ones you choose, they're still fun and they keep you in shooting shape too. They shouldn't be discounted as training aids.
