EMG Daniel Defense Licensed DDM4 Airsoft AEG Rifle w/ CYMA Platinum QBS Gearbox (Model: DDMK18 / 350 FPS / Black / Gun Only)

"I recently got my hands on a new rifle, and I have to say, it's been an awesome experience so far. I purchased the M4A1, initially intending to get the MK18, but I ended up with the M4A1 by accident. Honestly, it doesn't faze me at all because, internally, the two models are quite similar.

After testing the rifle out for the first time today, I was pleasantly surprised by its performance. The range and accuracy exceeded my expectations, especially considering I was a bit skeptical at first. I took it out with an 11.1 LiPo battery, and let me tell you, full-auto mode is an absolute blast! The rate of fire is impressive, making it a thrilling experience on the field.

One thing I've noticed, though, is that the rifle doesn't seem to handle .20g BBs very well—they're just too light for this setup. I've had much better results with .28g BBs, which seem to offer the right balance for accuracy and consistency. I'm planning to experiment with .25g BBs soon to see how they perform; I have a feeling they might be a good middle ground.

To sum it up, I highly recommend this rifle for beginners looking to get into the sport. Its performance, paired with a great price point of around $300, makes it an excellent choice for anyone starting out.

**Pros:**
- Great accuracy: The precision of this rifle is impressive, making it easy to hit targets at various distances.
- Excellent range: I was surprised by how far I could shoot accurately, which adds a lot of fun to the experience.
- Awesome rate of fire: With the right battery, the full-auto feature is fantastic, keeping the excitement alive during gameplay.
- Great price: At $300, it offers fantastic value for the quality you receive.

**Cons:**
- None that I can really find so far; it performs well in all aspects!

Overall, I can't recommend this rifle enough, especially for those just starting out! It's a solid investment that provides a lot of fun and performance for the price.

"W first gun (not my first but bought it for my brother for his first) its expensive. my hop was good so was my brothers. i put a polarstar jack in it and it terrorizes the local rentals and anyone for that matter, but some upgrades are hard to find like the inner barrel (i had to run a 250mm) but thats only for 6.01 inner barrels other than that solid gun.

"This rifle is awesome. Got it yesterday and tested it today for the first time. I got the m4a1 by accident instead of the mk18 but I don’t care cuz internally they are the same. the range and accuracy on this rifle is better then I thought. And with an 11.1 LiPo full auto rips. My only downside is it can’t shoot .20g bbs there’re to light and .28 seem to work great. So I may try .25 to see how it shoots. So overall highly recommend to beginners.

Pros: great accuracy
Range
Rps is awesome
Great price $300

Cons: none

Highly recommend for beginners

"Amazing gun! Super sturdy and heavy ( I ran a polymer gun for 3 years ) Only complaint is hopup, which is the most common issue. Replace it and it runs like butter!

"Great gun, I’ve had it for a year or two now and it still works as good as new. Shoots around 13 rps when a 7.4v 2500 lipo and around 28-30 rps with 11.1v 5000s. 400 fps version usually shoots around 365-370 FPS with .25s and around 370-400 with .30s and higher.

Pros:

Great for the price

Good MOSFET

Easily able to change the spring for your field’s FPS limit

Great base gun if you are looking to upgrade and mod.

CONS:

Most mags are a bit wobbly in the receiver.

There is a noticeable wobble between the upper receiver and hand guard.

"Awesome gun for the price had mine for more than a year,well built still the best gun for my game.best to replace the hop up to a maxi brand hop up for maximum height on your bbs.other than that everything else works perfect

"Only airsoft gun ive ever had that has never had any issues.

"All I can say is wow, this is my first airsoft gun.
Pros:
Full Metal Handgaurd and Receiver.
Wired to Deans.
Consistent 400 FPS
Low Price

Cons:
None in my opinion.

"Its a great gun, but you need to find proper mags for it or else it will have feeding issues.

"Woooo!!! Beautiful gun! 100% recomended!

"This gun is so good I’ve had it for 6 months now 17 games in and it it works like new this gun is a great primary for anyone to use

"Great gun! Would highly recommend. Full metal and has the quick spring change system. You can take the buffer tube off with an actual AR-15 tool. Great starter to medium gun.

"DDMK18 400fps Bronze Handguard

I really do like it, I just have one concern.

External build quality is good, and I can run .25s at around 350-360 fps. I like the weight to the gun as well, and the mag that came with it is quite nice.

However, something is up with the motor on mine (I think). If I shoot in full auto for more than a couple seconds the gun will totally stop shooting, semi or full auto. This would only be triggered with full auto and not with semi, and can only be fixed by taking the battery out and in again (so the battery isn't dead). I am running 7.4 Lipos that came with the Go Airsoft Package. Not sure if this is a gun problem or battery issues.

Overall great gun, I run it just on semi now.

"Very good well packaged performance is good

"This thing is amazing. I put in an m135 spring and a Maxx sport hopup and this thing rips. Shoots straight, snappy trigger, range is great, and its not too heavy. Great gun 10/10 recomend if you change the hopup.
