Madbull Gemtecg G5 QB Barrel Extension ( Tan / Flash Hider Included )

Overall, this is a great barrel extension. The asthetics of it are wonderful. It looks great, and has a solid feel to it. The included flashider is nice looking, and the quick detatch function is very quick and easy to use (though it took me a minute or two to figure out how to work it). The weight is very hefty, so I would not recommend this on a gun used for more close quarters engagements, as wipping the barrel around with this guy on the end will get tiring pretty fast. However, I do have a few gripes about this.
1.) The Weight. It is quite heavy, and takes some getting used to
2.) The included flash hider gets scuffed and marked up pretty easy when putting on/taking off the barrel extension
3.) The barrel width of the extension is very wide. This can be a problem for a few reasons:
-if you keep this on permanently to run over top if a longer inner barrel, the wide space could allow it to wobble and possible damage the inner barrel (though I doubt it will br much of a problem since this thing is so solid)
-if you aren't running a longer inner barrel, this doesn't aid much in acting as a barrel extension (aka helping to extend range by acting as a longer funnel for the air pressure). It is more for complete asthetical look

However, these few cons are not really that major. Overall this is a great product and it was a good investment. I bought one to run on my WE Tech MSK (ACR) and it looks fantastic. Would recommend to other

Pros:
- great look to it
- more realistic than a lot of other barrel extensions out there
- robust and strong. Won't dent or be damaged easily
- weighted (makes it seem more realistic)
- included flash hider is great looking
- quick detatch system is very handy and works well/easy to use
- box it came in was nice. Well packaged
- good paint quality. Durable and won't chip too easily. Matches almost all Tan accesories/guns very well

Cons:
- heavy. Not good if running on a more CQB loadout
- flash hider scuffs quite easily when putting on/taking off the barrel extension
- wide bore. Might allow inner barrels to wobble and be bumped and damaged. Doesn't really aid in increasing range as some tighter bored barrel extensions do.
- it is on the more expensive side
