Product Information:
bought this when it was newer on the market, and when it cost more like $80.00 bucks lol... but despite my annoyance at how quickly gun prices seem to drop only AFTER i buy something, this is a good buy for the money, 'specially now.

i've bought two different pistols from WG and theyre both pretty badass guns. the full metal extreme pistol here is a great gas-saver over a more expensive gas blowback pistol and performs pretty accurate out to short cqb ranges. if you prefer performance on a budget over the realism of a blowback then this is a great choice. the hop-up adjuster makes this a winner once you dial it in to whatever heavy grain bb you prefer. i use it with .28's

this thing aint without some faults though, the thumb safety on mine is practically useless because the lightest touch flips it back into "fire", so dont have the holster aimed at your crotch and think the safety on this will protect you. also, the magazines will stick. it took me roughly two weeks of working mags in and out before the mag chamber got broken-in enough for the mags to drop out on their own, a major annoyance when you need quick mag changes right out of the box and you wind up pulling them out.

other than those few issues, this is a great buy for $65.00 bucks!

Pros:
high velocity
good accuracy with .28 and heavier BB's
saves a ton of gas, i can reload a single mag over 10 times without changing the co2 cartridge in the mag
orange tip is relatively easy to pry off
good weight and heft when mag is in
the rail comes in handy sometimes for laser sights/gunlights
adjustable hop-up
i've never had any problems with jamming with this gun to date

Cons:
velocity may be too high for many field limits
thumb safety clicks to fire too easily and takes too much effort to click up to safe
magazines stick until you wear the gun in, which can take awhile
faux-wood grips scratch very easily and take away from the nice look of the gun over time
pretty inaccurate and inconsistent with .25 and lighter BB's
adjusting hop-up requires a tool, making adjusting the hop-up on the fly difficult during a match
sometimes the mags leak gas during long periods of storage, but that's to be expected with these things i guess.
