"Evike has the best price on this new version AGM APS2. If your looking for a nail driver, look no further because this is the gun for you. But you might want some add on mods or upgrades. Like replacing the spring or e-tape the nozzel (I did that and i saw some great results) But if your looking for a cheap l96 worth it's money and is the best gun probaly on the market this is it. The reason i gave it 4 stars is because no magazine compatibility.

"First of all, this gun is amazingly strong and accurate. Secondly, its freaking huge and heavy. It is much bigger than what it looked like in the picture and it is way too heavy to be running around with. But once you get into your spot, you're going to own the battlefield. You want a massive sniper rifle that is powerful and accurate, then this is it. The only thing is that I didn't get an extra magazine as it is inaccurately said in the description which disappointed me because you'll go through rounds really fast. .25's are extremely accurate. Yeah, so the only thing is that I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 for the magazine thing. But overall, Its amazing! A must buy for a serious sniper (and its cheap too). Make sure to get the scope and bipod, they are a must.

"the only problem so far that i have had with this gun, is the shipping; when it arrived at my house the trigger was already broken in the box. But besides that i like this gun and i do recommend it, i would also recoomend getting the upgrades on it such as the scope, but the bipod is just really up to you. this only gets 4 stars just because the shipping killed it, i will write another review later on it when it is fully tested

"i recomend the shadow ops sniper with .25s in it... i have had it for almost a year and it works great, and yes i have broken the sniper rule and dropped it and nothing has ever happened... only 1 defect is that the rail system is a little too easily detachable
by Garrett R. on 07/17/2008
"I RECOMEND THIS GUN!!!! but mine dident come with the extra mag. i was a little mad about it but its fine. the scope is amazing and the bipod is the best one i have ever seen for airsoft it ajusts for just about any thing and the scope starts at 3 and ends at 9 and thats pretty far its also pretty freakin heavy but its not like your going to be running around with it and since its heavy if your standing or crouching you can baance it very well i think its one of the best airsoft sniper rifles out there today so im going to give it a 4 out of 5 because i just diddent get the extra magazine. but thats it

"i got this gun a few days ago, its pretty awsome. although i asked for a spare clip and didnt receive one i still think its well worth its money. i zero'd in the scope and by the way its nice scope for $30. the bb hits right on the crosshair. the distance is alright, accurate at about maybe 75-90ft. its pretty heavy but then again what rifle isnt. i had some trouble with the clip but its good now. i give it a 4/5 cuz i wanted that extra clip :(

"This gun is very nice. It has very long range and is accurate. Its heavy and easy to assemble and the scope is nice. The cheek pad is comfortable and the rubber shoulder pad is easily adjustable. It well worth the price. The reason I gave it four stars because the bolt isd stiff without any lube.

"I purchased the boneyard version of this rifle and wanted to be very clear about something, these are NOT APS2 compatible. These have a bodged together collection of parts that are very similar to VSR10 parts but also a lot of proprietary parts you can't get replacements or upgrades for.
If you are buying this to plink or use as a low performance replica to try out and see if you like it, then great buy. If you plan to use it for precision, range, or hardcore use, avoid this one and go with a unit you can upgrade.

"Pro's
Shoots (surprisingly) very far
Extra weights inside of body and butt are removable for balance and weight loss
Very comfortable
The ultra cheap scope actually did OK
Con's
Bucking was cheap and damaged out of the box (shot terribly right slice)
Hop-up was a very cheap pot metal that didn't have solid clicks
Trigger did not have any slack pull
I would have kept it if the bucking was functioning. For this price it is worth replacing the hop-up & bucking

"This is a fairly ok starter rifle, even though a M324 could outrange this stock. Problems that I had with this gun was that it shot horrible with everything under .36, once I brought out my .36's and sighted in the scope and adjusted the hop up I was able to reach out to 150ft with 2ft groupings. I promise that you will absolutely not be able to achieve any better groupings with this gun stock.
Since my purchase of this I have installed a PDI hop up, a PCT 550mm 6.03 tightbore barrel, KWA 2GX bucking, and SCS, along with a laylax ball bearing spring guide & piston which I had needed due to a 210 spring. Once I put all these upgrades in (I did them all at the same time rather than one by one because I wanted to see the improvements over the stock gun). What I noticed was the peerless accuracy that this gun had just gotten. Shooting with no scope I was gettig 6in groupings at 75ft - I hadn't even adjusted my PDI hopup! So I moved up to .40gram bb's (I'm shooting 530fps now with .20grams, compared to the stock 470fps that I had with .20grams - the reason I got an upgrade spring was because in just one week the spring went from 470fps to 440fps.) After I got all setup with my PDI hopup (Which had no problem throwing .40 grams over 300ft), and scope I measured out some targets. One at 150ft and one at 200ft; the first target which was 150ft I was able to get 10/10, with the best grouping being 1 inch. I then took some shots at the 200ft target & after some small adjustments I was also able to get 10/10 shots hit with the best grouping being 1 inch. I have gone to three wars since upgrading, each with over 60 people on site. I can easily shoot over 250ft with this gun and I can get kill shots at 300ft, but I have not yet shot anything farther. Keep in mind that it still took more than 5 shots to hit someone at 300ft - I was also lucky that there was no wind, and finally, that one 300ft shot was with a gun that had upwards of $300 worth of upgrade parts in it.

"This is a great gun. It's only marked down because it did not come with a scope or a bi-pod.
It hits quite hard, at 500 fps with .20's. It's very accurate, as you would guess for a sniper rifle. It's comfortable, and feels right in your hands. Although it's a bit heavy, it's still a great gun.
It also comes with a rubber butt-pad, and a 30 round magazine.

"This gun is pretty good but it jams pretty easy wen ur taken the clip out nd b care full with the hop up kuys it might screw over ur gun

"This gun is not the fps it says it is. On the box it says, "350 fps with .25's." And it does not come with 2 clips, only one. I used .36's, which were not to accurate but left some unforgiving marks(only because they were heavy.) This gun is extremly heavy, massive, and looks really cool. But if you actually want to do good, I would just get an automatic gun with a scope rail, and get a scope. It works a lot better than having to reload every 30 rounds.
