Product Information:
First off, I want to say that “S. EIS” really doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Chances are, he was really unlucky and got a rare lemon with a really easy problem to fix, such as bad compression or a bad hopup bucking.

This gun is a great deal and an excellent performer for a STOCK gun (of course, upgrades will make it better). The range and accuracy are both very good, and the hopup unit is very well built. It’s got a nice FPS, around 365, which is nice and high but not too high.

When I opened the gearbox up, it well shimmed and greased out of the factory.

I’ve had no problems with it stock, going through 40k rounds in a few months with a 9.6v battery. I just upgraded it last week with these:
Madbull 300mm tight bore barrel.
Systema hopup nub.
Element white h-nub.
G&P M120 high speed motor.
9.6v 1000mah mini battery.
Deans connectors.
M1928 vertical foregrip.

The body has an easy takedown, and the version 6 gearbox is probably the easiest gearbox to work on.

This gun is an excellent choice, and anything BUT a wall-hanger.
I’m willing to say it’s even better than the Tokyo Marui, when comparing cost vs. performance.

Pros:
Almost full-metal.
Fake wood isn’t too bad looking.
Good FPS.
Great range/accuracy for a STOCK weapon.
Excellent hopup unit.
Decent ROF when paired with a 9.6v battery.
Orange tip can be taken off and put back on.
Gearbox is easy to work on.
Strong gears.
Body has easy take-down.
Durable.

Cons:
Plastic lower receiver.
Weak stock battery (get a 9.6v mini).
Can’t fit a large 8.4v battery.
Plastic bushings.
Might be heavy for some players.
Comes with a really weak spring.
Only comes with a lo-cap magazine.
Thompson’s historical design means not too many options for external upgrades.
