It's really cool, because the entire rifle breaks down to fit in the plastic butt-stock. Supposedly you could even submerge it in water and it would be okay, but I never tried. But yeah, you could just tie it to your pack and let it dangle, without needing a cumbersome holster or anything, or worrying about the barrel scraping the ground or anything like when climbing over fallen tree trunks or other obstacles on the trail.

Perfect for killing whistle-pigs or other small rodents, or just plinking at cans or whatever, but not very accurate past 50 yards or so.

The only reason I got rid of it was a co-worker really wanted it and had a barely-used laptop to trade in exchange, so I took him up on it. Might get myself another one some day, or something like it, as it was a pretty neat little rifle to shoot.
