Product Information:
I've had this gun for about six months now and it hasn't failed me yet. It has intimidating looks and is quite versatile with the adjustable folding stock, (included) vertical foregrip and barrel extension. The gun shoots very accurately for a stock bore 285ish length but I have changed to a madbull 6.03 to improve. Also, you can fit a 9.6V battery in the stock if you pull the adjustment out by one click. Maybe a 10.8V if you pull it out even further but I have not tried. 9.6V yields a decent ROF and keeps the internals pretty safe. A couple beefs with this beast are that the battery does require an allen wrench to install because the opening below the cheek rest isn't big enough to slide the battery into, so you do need to remove the back of the stock. This isn't a terribly big deal as once the battery is in, you can access the connector to recharge through the cheek rest. Another thing is the gearbox. It is a version 2, but it is modified because of the ambi controls therefore making it more difficult to remove and then some parts for upgrades are difficult to find (if even available). This isn't enough to deter me from enjoying this gun as I don't plan to upgrade it unless it fails. Then I'll figure it out (hopefully). Honestly, it's a great gun and if you don't need to upgrade the gearbox then I'd give it 5 stars instead of 4.

Pros:
Beastly looks
Versatility (with adjustable folding stock, grip and barrel extension)
Shoots very well out of the box after you get the hop-up adjusted
Hop-up is unique and easy to adjust
Lots of rail space (get optics of some kind)
9.6V fits
Good FPS (don't have a chrono but it has range for outdoor games, even with the short barrel)
Fits "MAG" brand midcaps well (probably others too, but MAG is what I've got)


Cons:
Battery requires allen wrench and stock disassembly to install
Iron sight rear aperature is a little small (get a scope or dot sight)
Gearbox is a little tricky to remove
Some parts in the gearbox are unique and difficult to find upgrades for


Side note: I would recommend .25g BB's for accuracy. They fly pretty straight until you lose sight of them.

Rating: 4 of 5 Stars! [4 of 5 Stars!]
