Product Information:
Fascinated by my friend's sniper rifle and with a broken M4, I decided to go down the sniper path. I knew that I shouldn't break the bank on my first new type of gun, so I bought this to test out sniping. I opened the box, and with some mildly easy assembly (a few hex-screws, nothing overwhelming), I had the gun ready to fire. I turned to my trusty Elite Force .25g's and fired at some trees and targets in my backyard. I was very impressed. Even without a scope, I was hitting the targets within a few rounds. After half an hour of messing around, I felt like I mastered this gun. It was very friendly for a beginner, like me, and even though it's been about 6 months since I bought this, it is still extremely trustworthy and has the same firepower as it did out of the box. The bolt is not sticky at all, the weight is light but not out of comfort range, and speaking of comfort, this thing is very nice to hold. The polished [fake] wood is a nice touch, and the buttstock (although it get uncomfortable after 5 or so minutes of holding it up) is nice on your shoulder. You can buy extra magazines for this gun (if you are playing long games) or you can do nicely with the 29 rounds already in one mag. During one game, I put on my friend's scope. I was hitting shots across the field in only a few shots, and I was hitting anyone who got close. I could drag on nice things about this gun for days, but I do have a few complaints, as you will see in the cons.
Pros:
Hits hard, your enemies will flinch and can't deny they got hit.
Beautiful design
Easy to master
Comfortable
Shooting strong after many games
Easy to pull the bolt
29 rd Magazine
Buttstock pad comes off to reveal storage space (can put weights, screwdrivers, medical supplies, etc.
Deadly accurate with a scope
Full metal internals
Affordable for any entry-level snipers
Cons:
Magazines can be bought separately, but are very cheap (bad plastic and spring), so a few are needed. I haven't experienced any jamming or broken mags yet, but I have had some close calls and one magazine feels like it isn't put together very sturdily.
Light, which I know is a pain for some people (honestly, for it being so cheap it doesn't matter)
Extremely similar to their MK96 AWP model. I'm pretty sure it's the same internals. This seems to be cheaper though.
Overall, the good beats the bad. Entry-level airsofter? Pro who's looking into sniping? Without a doubt, I'd say go with this. It's cheap, shoots good, what else do you need? Nothing beats pulling the trigger and hearing the guy say "Hit!" then they look around, expecting to find someone in the open, and finding nothing. Snipers are deadly, but not for everyone. Personally, I think I'm more of a run and gun CQB guy, but sniping is still enjoyable. Maybe you love sniping, maybe you don't. Either way, this is a great buy and your friends will want to test it out once they see how well it fires.
