Product Information:
Before I begin, I would like to say I waited to write a review until I had actually used this gun on the field, so my absolute best input would be written in the review.

I'm honestly not sure what I expected out of this gun; I play field and this is a CQB gun. My hopes were medium, for I heard good things about the guns range and accuracy, so I anticipated it to be even somewhat useful in outdoor gameplay. My backyard is about 90-100 feet long and I set up two man sized targets at one end and I stood at the other. Using the stock gun, (No internal upgrades) I took ten shoots at the first target. I hit 5/10 times at only 100 feet with the other five being wild fliers. Now, I know this is a CQB gun and it doesn't shoot the highest of FPS, but it has a standard length m4 carbine barrel so it should've been hitting the target at least 7-8/10 times. Now, I was mildly unimpressed, so I gave the barrel and bucking a good cleaning and went again. Again, I got terrible results. I decided to wait it out until I went to the field and used it against human targets. (Nothing compares to the real thing). Long story short, I got around 20-30 enemy hits on an 8 hour day. Pretty respectable, considering no internal upgrades. Still, I would like to warn people looking for a hard hitting, medium to long range carbine: Don't purchase this gun if you don't plan on making any barrel/cylinder upgrades. Simple as that. Overall, I will give this 5/5 stars for now. I will install a 6.03 450mm tight bore and a mock surpressor and see how it does.

Pros:
Lightweight
Durable (Polymer lower is surprisingly stable)
Good length warranty
Feels comfortable
No wobble on anything but stock (Like most m4s on the market)
Shoots pretty far for the sh**ty accuracy and FPS I was getting
Flash hider is NOT glued on, just needs a 1mm Allen key (Praise The Lord!)
Magazine was already broken in
Came with a midcap (Con for some, I like midcaps)
Decent ROF (15-17 Stock)
Externals completely upgradable
Front sight has lots of adjustment range (Trust me, you'll need it)
Accuracy is OK if you play CQB, but for field it won't hit anyone over 150 feet
Looks sleek (Has a two tone, black and light black finish)
Just fits a 1600mah 9.6v nunchuck in the handguard
Overall a good gun. I don't know what I expected for a 190 dollar AEG, but what I got was more than I should've gotten for the price


Cons:
Field accuracy (No more than 150 feet, if you're lucky)
Air nozzle is proprietary
Hop up is proprietary
I tried to use a 9.6v 1600mah battery in the gun, and the FPS dropped to around 140. I believe this is the battery though.
Flash hider came loose, I took a hard fall over a branch and slammed the barrel into a tree.
Outer barrel came loose, I took a fall and slammed It into a tree
Front sight is only adjustable for elevation
AOE isn't corrected stock, like other KWAs
Little to no shims in gearbox
Overall a great gun, just be careful where you plan on using it
