"obviously none of the people who have written reviews here have ever shot this gun. I will admit that the price is steep but I managed to buy one on sale for $550. I put a 11.1 1900 lipo into it and it shoots about 375 and 18 rounds a second. I will admit that the plastic gear box scared me but looking at it now... the thing is polycarbonate which is used in all kinds of thins due to it's strength. This gear box is actually designed to take more pressure than a standard pot metal box because the gearbox will flex wit pressure but not wear as hard. also, there is no plastic inner barrel! Has a nice weight but if you weigh less than 150 pounds this will get heavy fast. The ONLY thing that I have not like about this gun is the bi-pod. Just like the real one, it is quite loose and so I decided to remove it. The gun also has a spring release which helps reduce wear. I also suggest you only write reviews when you have used the gun or at least have more knowledge than the last two that posted. If you would like a video of the gun to help the purchase. My email is
[email protected]. like I said before the two downsides are price and the bi-pod. Also if you need a li-poly I know a site that sells good 11.1 1900 for only 45 bucks and 11.1 4000 for 65
