Thinking of getting one for my son and I (I repeat, and I) to have some fun with. Cheap plastic is great. He's 8 and the thing weighs 5 lbs - if it was better "polymer" it would be heavy. The stock comes down to his size easily. I think there's a market for it. As for grown men playing with them, it's the same as all the 10/22 dressup as well. It just "feels" cheaper but really it serves the same purpose. Looks, places to hang tactical doo-dads on and that's about it.
