"Good for starters"

I purchased this product at a local sports show, and paid $15 more for it than it is here. Price aside, it is a decent gun, much better than my first AEG. If you use .2 gram BBs, it is reasonably accurate, even with wind. It seems really sturdy, but I'll really find that out on my first op with my friends in the spring. There are problems, though: The mag capacity is small, especially on full auto. I would advise purchasing extra clips, which go from 3 to 10 bucks apiece and can be connected for easy reloading. Be careful when loading: there is a little switch by the feed for the ammo that will send your just-loaded bbs, all over the place. Also, the scope that came with mine is poor: the adjustments for the light do not affect the position of the light. Overall a great buy for those just getting into airsofting. Heck, at this price, why not buy two and go Rambo on your friends? :)

"recommended for absolute starters, not good for a 2nd gun."

I, a 16 year old (son of the user), have had this gun for a good 4 months. I have played with it in about 10 skirmishes. i'd really like to give you a good idea of the gun.

the look of the gun when u first get it is amazing. all the accessories are pretty easily put on. the body is solid, but the handgrip is a bit loose. the mag well is very good with little movement, but it has never fallen out on me. u hav to give it a good hit to try and tear it out. the mag comes out swiftly with the release. expect to do mag exchanges with ur secondary hand. i kno some people like to use the trigger hand for that.

The RIS is solid but the accessories are a bit loose. the sights r great and the rear sight can be vertically adjusted.

the battery holder is a bit loose but does the job. putting in the battery is easy, u can do it under 7 seconds.

the stock is solid when extended, but comes out too easily when folded.

the build of the gun is pretty awful. this is not a gun u will want to take apart, too many screws, and it took hours trying to figure out what went where again when putting it back together.

accuracy is decent with the fps of the gun. (i measured it to be about 230fps with .12g) i do not recommend using .2g bbs, the gear box is plastic and if u use full auto a lot ur running a slight risk of cracking the gear box. dont expect to do any upgrades on this gun.

now for the accessories. the flash light is great, the laser was good while it lasted, the button broke and stays on so the batteries just die. the scope is bad. with the accuracy of the gun, wind adjustments cant be made to come close to where they should be. at night u wont be able to see anything even if there is some light out from the moon, ur flashlight, or dusk sunlight. the foregrip is pretty good, a bit loose.

dont wear heavy clothes!!! u wont feel or hear the bbs hit unless ur within 15 feet.

overall, if ur thinking about joining the world of airsoft its damn good for the price. dont expect to use it more than a year. a lot of airsoft fields wont let u use it bc the fps is so low. once ur into the game i recommend getting a better gun, dont go straight for a tokyo marui. JG have a good record as do H&K and Echo 1. If your willing to spend more money, get a Classic Army gun, i hear they are very durable and highly upgradable. 3 stars

"This is nice"

I just got this gun a couple days and am already loving it. It has pretty good accuracy for its range and givin the fact its an AEG, and its power is phonominal,although I havent hade a chance to skirmish with my friends I will bet it to do some serious damsge. there are some minor flaws but not with the gun its self just with the accessories; the first one is the sight dosent really aline true to the center (could just be a broblem with my gun) and the fact that my flashlight stoped working almost immediatly (also probobly just a problem with my gun) but in the longshot the gun is definately worth the money. And im not mary im her son. 5 stars

"Not bad, not bad at all!"

I bought this gun when I was first getting into Airsoft and, granted, it's no where near top of the line. But I'm a casual player, and this gun is just perfect. It shoots fast, it shoots hard and it's surprisingly durable for the price. Three months later, and I'm still toting this thing to matches with friends.

If you're looking for mag capacity, this gun isn't your best bet. The maximum capacity in both mags is around 40 BBs, and there's no larger mags available for this weapon, unfortunately. The mags are also non-well, meaning you have to feed the BBs in via a speed loader (don't let the "speed" fool you there -- it takes a good long while, especially during a match, to reload the mags). The gun depletes fast, and it's a pain to reload.

Slow loading and low capacity aside, this gun was definitely a smart purchase for a first-time gun. It's held up better than a few of my other, more expensive AEGs. And yeah, there's bound to be some wear and tear (the safety just broke on mine), but if you're a casual player looking to get into the game, I'd definitely recommend it. 4 stars

"whoa now"

Allright, thuis gun is so much more than i was hoping for. its accurate, and its an incredible price. its pretty hard hitting. i was putting holes in a cardboad box from 50 feet away.
im not new to airsoft, and i really wish that my first gun was as nice as this one
if you take it out to have a little fight with your friends, i reccommend extra clips.
the mag capacity is about 45, and the load time is annoyingly long
a very good gun for all abilities 5 stars
