"Just got it today and am going to use it this weekend!!!
There was a question if the FPS on the description is accurate. I crono. it and with .25 it was consistently 385!! Just shooting it a little in the backyard i was hitting a 3in target around 50yrds or so nearly every shot.
Like I said I havent used it except zeroing it but Im really impressed. et it and you will wont have any regrets.

"Very good gun, very reliable and is amazing for its price.

"I got this with my friends when we were both looking for a spare.
Even the receiver is not full metal, the gun itself is very strong and well built.
This gun is the best you can get at its price.
If you are looking for a well constructed intermediate base gun, and work on modifications yourself, this is a great gun tos tart. If you want to go more professional, get a G&P

"Got this from the Box Of Awesomeness! THANK YOU EVIKE!
Pros:
Has a good weight to it
Accurate
Mag well has little to no wobble
FPS seems good
Cons;
None
I plan to make this an upgraded gun by putting a new spring in it, with possibly a new motor. I also plan on getting a new handguard with RIS and putting a PEQ2 box to house the battery.
Overall, decent gun.

"I highly recommend this gun to a beginner all the way to a tournament player . We typically airsoft in canyons or on hills with 16+ and this gun kept up with all the G&G weapons that were being used that day. great range and also close quarters weapon ( depending on your strength )
Pros.
nice FPS
Fast rate of fire
solid feel in hand
very durable
cons
the mag it comes with is terrible ( just order a high quality mag ) the mag it comes with is cheap and has a hard time with circulation of bbs.
finish comes off when used hard ( could careless on outer look)
all and all a great gun

"This was my first AEG in 3 years and I'm impressed, WE has made a good impression on me.
I've put a few parts internally and externally:
AIM "Real Steel RIS Free Float Mid Length
M4 Type Red Dot Sight ( G&P )
Matrix 155mm silencer
Prometheus 430mm inner barrel
G-hopped
Swiss cheese piston
Re shimmed
corrected AOE
Magpul Angled fore grip
Gate MERF Mosfet
RE wired to deans
Pros:
stock this thing shot great Solid performance at 150ft,
After upgrades 250ft shots were very possible on full auto
Crane stock
working bolt release
spring de tension system
comes with sling attachment points
Great RPS out of the box
Great quality metal
My G&P mid caps fit and feed great
Cons:
The sling point on the buffer tube wobbles if not tightened securely
Paint was coming off on places of heavy usage ( expected )
Tamiya connector
Overall this gun is a complete STEAL for the price, I'd recommend this over a combat machine if you want a full metal gun in the same price range with a great RPS. I would recommend this for any beginner as well as a project gun for a tech such as myself.
P.s. I've owned this gun for a good 5 months and have put 20K rounds through it.

"So I got this gun only a few days ago and I'll be honest when I saw I was expecting something that I'd be heavily upgrading over the course of a few months.
After taking it out and putting several magazines downrange, I think it's safe to say that this rifle will actually require far less than I originally thought.
My first impressions from opening the rifle were very positive. The box was very well packed and the rifle came in a plastic sleeve. Inside is the user manual and an Evike booklet. When I first picked it up, it hit me how heavy this rifle is. I'm switching over from a G36C which is almost all polymer and that may very well be the reason, but this is heavier than most M4's I've picked up and looked at. Another thing to note is that if you are super interested in the SEAL trademark, don't be upset if you get SFOD-D instead. That's what I got and for me that's no big deal at all. In fact, I think it's a bit cooler.
As for the actual construction it is very solid. The receiver is full metal and has a forward assist you can push in, but doesn't do anything and a charging handle you can pull back to open the dust cover and reveal the gearbox. One thing that caught me off guard is that under the dust cover, there is a second cover for the gearbox which is pulled back by the charging handle. When you push the dust cover back up and set it down, you may here a click. Don't worry, it's just that cover sliding back up into place. If you want to keep dust out of the gearbox or whatever and still want the dust cover down, give the left side of the receiver a tap and that cover will slide forward. With sling mounts, you've got the points to put a two point sling or a one point sling. With the carrying handle, it is removable with rails underneath, it is full metal and has adjustable sights. If you want to know what is metal and what is not, check the Evike video, but in summary most of it is metal and the few bits that are polymer are very sturdy.
For shooting, I was getting decent range. I could shoot out maybe 150 feet and still be on target. It's also quite a bit louder than my old G36, so that is something to keep in mind. I haven't chrono'd it so I can't be sure what the FPS is, but I'm sure another reviewer has.
In summary, it's a great rifle with excellent construction, nice markings on the receiver (keep in mind they may not be SEAL markings), good distance for a carbine sized rifle, and makes a nice noise when you pull the trigger. Don't get this if you're expecting it to be a light rifle, this is fairly hefty the first time you pick it up and will take some getting used to. I would absolutely recommend this for someone in the market for a new rifle and was willing to put on the extra money for rails, or was happy without a rail system like me.
PROS:
- Solid Construction
- Nice markings on the side (Mine had SFOD-D markings)
- Good range for a Carbine
- Weight (This could be a con for some)
- Noise
CONS:
- Weight (If you don't like a lot of weight this is a problem)

"Love the package deal!!
This was my first assault rifle, and it is still one of my favorites. It includes many working aspects of the real carbine (for those among us who like a little more authenticity), as well as a simple, easy hop-up system. It is a middle-weight weapon, as expected, with a thick polymer body and an aluminum barrel. It is fairly accurate, and keep in mind its ability to adjust the sights for wind. Overall, it is a very very good carbine for those of us who don't want to spend all of our money on big-ticket items quite yet.
Pros: Realistic look, good weight, fairly accurate, comfortable to carry, fits most accessories, great starter rifle (in fact, I still prefer it over some of my others!)
Cons: Not full metal (who cares)
:) go for it

"This is a great gun and works quiet well
by TAMER A. on 06/26/2014
"I purchased this for my buddy of mine who is new to airsoft. This was the most appealing deal around for an M4 platform, for the money. It's full metal, has great power, and is very sturdy. However, I had higher expectations when the package came in. The thing was a mess, so bad, that any entry level airsofter most likely would have left 1 or two stars if they were to review it, and they'd probably return it as well. Thankfully, I am skilled in airsoft tech and was able to get things all back on track. The issues: The actual outer barrel was misaligned, if you know a thing or two about the basics of your airsoft gun, you'd know that your hop up stays aligned in the chamber using the slots of the outer barrel.... So long story short, if your outer barrel isn't aligned then your hopup isn't aligned , and this also leads to your mag not sitting in the mag well. I was able to fix all of this. But that wasn't the only issue. The hopup never came with a nub, I have spare parts and was able to replace this. The silencer is glued very tightly so you need a heat gun to melt it before twisting it CCW. The mag needed some modification, I took an exacto knife and starting taking away from the bb retaining tab that prevents bbs from expelling from the magazine, this also resolved misfeeds and also helped fix the mag not sitting issue. And lastly, the rail covers were TERRIBLE. Don't waste your time putting them on right away, before you do, grab a pair of pliers and take off the little metal tabs that act as a button. The tolerances are still very right and the rail covers will not go anywhere without the metal tabs.
Overall, once I got this baby up and shooting, I was blown away at it's quality. Shoots far and hard. The only reason why I give this product 5 stars, is because the circumstances in which I received the gun were definitely rare, many people have had great things to say about this gun, so for that, I give Dboys the benefit of the doubt, especially when considering the price. I will say, however, that one must understand the risk when ordering entry level guns. They are great deals, so great, that they simply can't afford to take their time making everything perfect. Even if you aren't skilled in tech, learn! It's easy and fun, there are plenty of YouTube videos to aid you.
Pro:
Full metal
Sturdy
Great weight
Shoots hard and far
Fully upgradeable
Accurate
Cons:
Silencer very tightly glued on (use heat gun to outter barrel to remove it CCW)
Hopup was missing nub
annoying to disassemble (Allen key not push pin)
Rail covers made at very low quality
Misfeeds
Mag didn't sit well
Outter barrel was misaligned
Rails were misaligned
Mag needed some modding
Regardless, very great gun, definitely worth the money once things are all in check.
