Matrix / S&T Sportsline M4 RIS Airsoft AEG Rifle w/ G3 Micro-Switch Gearbox (Model: Black M4 RIS 8" Stubby)

"this gun is good because it is cheap but holds up . it also has good range

"Pros: super light weight, about 400 fps constantly. metal gear box.

Cons: will need a new battery, and recommend a new Hopup

Great gun to start, buy a few more mags and a good mask and you are good to go!

"I've had this gun for a while now. Overall, It's a pretty good gun. (Mine has a metal outer barrel and RIS...) Lightweight, great FPS and range. I dropped it once, pretty hard, and the only thing that happened to it was a little bit of scratches only

Pros-
Good FPS and range
Metal outer barrel, trigger, gearbox, mag release
Not a ton of wiggle to the gun. (The stock may wiggle slightly)
Price!

Cons-
Lots of plastic parts

This makes for a pretty darn good starter gun! I like it personally.

"Great gun. Had it for 2 years and still works perfectly fine. The gun is light, very sturdy. Rate of fire is good and especially impressive on semi-auto with the electronic micro-switch gearbox that is awesomely awesome!!

"for the price is really good, the range is much more than i expected. But of course you are getting what you are paying for, maybe a bit more.

In general the performance was awesome for the price tag

"I bought this gun about a month ago and I have to say, it's a very solid gun INTERNALLY. This thing has a full metal gear box, a m120 spring, a copper 6.03mm barrel and a one piece hop up. The heart of the gun is on par with a lot of higher end guns out on the market. The externals of this gun are made out of abs polymer which makes the gun light weight, but it doesn't take as much punishment or abuse than a full metal gun would. The ris system is pretty solid and it does it's job well. The vertical grip that came with the gun is very wobbly so you should get a new one. The same goes for the crane stock. Overall i like this gun, it's lightweight, metal where it needs to be and dead on accurate.

Pros:
full metal gear box
m120 spring
6.03 mm barrel
lightweight
durable plastic
solid construction

cons:
wobbly vertical grip

"Great externals and internals for the price you pay. Literally puts you on the top of the game from firepower to trigger response!

"This is an overall an amazing starter package for anyone who wants to get into Airsoft properly. This gun exceeded my expectations. Body is made out of high quality materials. I would definitely recommend this gun.

"I just got the lipo ready RIS 9 and im really happy with this package. I was super surprised to find out when picking the gun up out of the box, i noticed the RIS was full metal. I personally love realism and the added weight of the metal rail system was super nice. Felt exactly like the real one. Im a huge fan of the mk18 mod1 platform and knowing that in the future i can use this rail system for any upper is freaking awesome. The rest of the gun is all plastic (externally) unfortunately, but its pretty durable and im happy with it. Had a little problem with sepation of the top rail on the upper receiver because the included red dot was eating the rail up from the bottom it was a quick fix with some super glue. Still shouldnt happen and ill probably end up switching the parts of this gun out in the future but would be nice to have that not happen for the time being. The rest of it externally is fine. Internally the gun is solid and ill probably end up upgrading it with a few little things later on to keep it prestine. The super badass bolt catch system simulates the real m4 perfectly and saves you time when adjusting the hop up. I love how this comes with two mags and all but it would have been nice to get two hi caps and not just a hi and a mid. But at this point im just nit picking. The red/green dot sight is super nice, it was one of my deciding factors when getting this package. It works really well but you might want to buy a killflash for it just to keep the front lense safe. The batteries and chargers are really good as well. One battery on full charge lasted me a whole day and the second one ill just keep as a backup or for my next intermediate aeg. The little gun bag is kinda ugly to me id rather transport the gun in the box or just buy an actual gun bag but for the most part its nice they give u the option. All though it would have been so much better to replace that bag or "airsoft sack" whatever you want to call it with bbs so it could be a "complete starter package". All and all its a solid package and a good buy. If you're starting out its amazing. Ive had a good time at my local field with it and im planning on having a lot of fun with it for a while. BUY IT, THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR ITS A MOD 1 DO IT

"I just got mine a few days ago and am very happy with it. No complaints it rocks. Everything you need to dominate!

"Pros:
Amazing quality
High FPS
High RPS
Great Range


I recommend the use of .23 gram BBs in this gun.

"This is a superb gun I have owned it for 3 months and I love it. I ordered a matrix butterfly battery with it and they functioned perfectly. The rifle chronographed at around 389 FPS.

Pros:
-390 Fps, its great for the outdoor play I need and the gun is very easy to downgrade to a M90 spring for indoor in seconds.
-Durable body although i would immensely prefer metal
-Gearbox works like a charm
-CQB style gun is extremely comfortable
-Orange tip is not shiny
-Included pistol grip is amazing and comfortable
-It makes me look like a total bad-ass which is definitely an issue since I lead the Spec Ops section of my airsoft team and need to be feared

Cons:
-Plastic upper and lower receiver but it's a con for the weight you get and price. I have a love and hate relationship with my polymer and metal receiver AR / M4 AEG.

"This gun is really top notch. I play field and am still able to get kills. Having the M203 is as if you have two weapons in one!

Pros
- Amazing gearbox
- Fast
- Accurate
- The M203 is amazing

Cons
None!!!!

"This is a really good gun and I definitely recommend it. Very accurate

"Pros:
It's made by Matrix
Great internals
Very tough externals
nice rails and mock silencer
Metal ris rails
Con: None
