Product Information:
The gun is made of a plastic (Polymer or abs plastic not really sure), strong construction with a 1 piece barrel, easy to disassemble and reassemble, the original battery is quite bulky for the small handguard i would recommend any type of butterfly battery except for of course LiPo, it is not lipo ready at all. Gearbox cannot be changed because the magazine catch will not fully come out of the lower receiver, when used in the field though it will be out preformed stock out of the box. I think it has a 6.04 inner barrel, I would say a new barrel would definitely make it a lot better but that's really all you could do to it since you can't get the magazine catch out, unless you drilled it or filed down the catch to the point it could slip out, it's also quite shotty on trigger response when trying to fire rapidly it will sometimes misfire, double feed, and the gears will slip and sometimes and be weird, it also sounds like it is about to die when in semi automatic, full automatic sounds very lively. And doesn't work very well with plastic magazines I bought some G&P metal mud caps which work flawlessly with this gun. The picatinny rail also is separate from the upper receiver and on mine it came off on the back end still screwed in by the front though of the rail and the orange flash hider can be quite revealing but can only be taken off with a very very very small Allen key. You essentially just get your money's worth for this gun, but definitely better options out there. (Would also like to point out I am no expert, in fact I'm a beginner myself, but I was putting my perspective and how it performed on the field stock and how it is off the field when adding new internals it's design could really use some work) I would also like to say that I am going to one day hang this gun on a wall in a frame though because it was my first Airsoft rifle and I'll hang it with my Elite Force M1911


Pros:
Lightweight
Cheap
Has metal in all the right places (except lower and upper receiver)
Looks metallic
Good for beginner players on a budget
Cool working bolt catch (can get jammed sometimes 2 ways to fix this give it a slap on the upper receiver you'll hear a click then press the bolt catch and it'll send the bolt forward, the other way to do this is just pull back on the charging handle a second time faster and let it go and then press the bolt catch and it'll send the bolt forward as well)
Easy to take apart and put back together
Comfortable in the hand
Lightweight
Bolt looks almost authentic like the real thing from Colt

Cons:
Made of plastic
Double feeds when in a fast paced fire fight
Isn't accurate (stock out of the box)
Gears slip
Original battery doesn't fit well
Orange flash hider is revealing
M1913 Picatinny rail comes off every so often
When running the sling swivel can be annoying as it taps on the bottom of the outer barrel (nothing huge but can be annoying after a while just put on a sling will solve this problem)
