9/10

The SAR Sportmatch M41 SG (referred to as the G3A3 from now on) is a very long gun, just over a meter. Long guns tend to bend, flex and creak, heck, even my TM MP5 does. As soon as I picked up the G3A3 from it's Styrofoam bed, I noticed this was no ordinary AEG. The thing felt more sturdy than a 2X4, and took me by surprise. I gave the gun a once over and was very impressed, an even finish with no noticeable blemishes. I then looked at the cocking lever and was gravely disappointed. The part looks like it's made of pot metal, and the finish looks like it was colored with sharpie. Aside from that single part, the entire gun looks and feels near perfect.

Performance
8/10

The G3A3 I'm reviewing performed admirably for a stock gun with an 8.4 v battery. The rate of fire was perfect for me, being extremely close to the real deal. The accuracy was nothing to hoot about, to me at least. I can see how it might be good for something like an M4 or MP5, but I expected more out of a 500 something cm barrel. I think CA should've used a tight bore of 6.04 on all it's marksman rifles (the SR25, G3A3 and G3 SG1 coming to mind) to sell them as such. The motor and gear box sounded very smooth with minimal noise, and a satisfying "thunk" every time the piston slams into the gearbox shell.

Durability
8/10

Out of all the categories, this is the G3's greatest pitfall, at least in the model I have to review. The trigger contacts burned out after a month of light use with a standard 8.4 v battery. As disappointing as this is, it's the only issue I have run into thus far, and it's not a particularly serious one.

Overall
8.3/10

The G3A3 is a great gun and is a pleasure to shoot and own. I recommend it with no reserve and congratulate those who already own one.
