Nothin wrong with Chinese...heck even the "american" brands have been, on occasion outsourced.
Do they make collectibles: no, are they the prettiest or smoothest again no. But they work they go bang (and thats half the fun right there for the price of a crappy tire pellet gun) and especially as others have said "miltary model not civilian". I have three...love em all 1 russian and two asians. Hunting, plinking, poking, lil bit a history and a club for when you're out of ammo...a very rugged utility tool and alot of fun for the money.
You won't be dissapointed! (As long as you don't expect miracles)
And as far as if/when you ever decide going tacticool, do whatever you want how you want with YOUR new toy it's yours to learn with and theres a wealth of parts, info etc out there.
Enjoy!
