"I got this gun about a year ago and it still works fine.

Pros:
Loud:scares my friend who has an Uzi and shot me in the arm with it and he was really scared when I pointed it at him.

Really upgradeable which is good that there are plenty out there.
IT shoots really far with the barrel, you could easily hit a human sized target from 120 feet

Cons:
Magazines can be a pain(GET KJW HICAPA MAGAZNES)
The O ring can easily fall out after Lots of use.
They don't make 7 inch 6.01 barrels( but you could try to get a long one and cut it?

I would but it again but I would buy upgrades.

"I came on here to look for a compatible clip for my exelerator that i had for 2 yrs now Which i love and couldnt help read some of the reviews.

Almost all and any metal on metal screws will cause vibration making them come out and become loose which is why the gun wobbles.

A simple fix would be to buy (Thread Locker)medium strength maybe $7. take out the screws and put this on the grooves and put back in. it acts as a sort of glue strong enough to hold but can be taken out if need be.

"had the gun for a year now-worth every penny. yes, it wobbles when you first get it as some have mentioned, but put a little work into it, and it wont. can upgrade it to the freakin max. a little work, and its jsut gorgeous. just wish the red colored after market parts where in stock more often.... but thats just me.

has a good bit of kick, and can take propane and co2 (which, i gotta say, is HUGELY under utilized or mentioned in the reviews....). has some good weight, but being an owner of a real steel 1911, id have liked to have a touch more steel on it than aluminum, the weight is nothing as is.

only issues are the outer barrel is a little loose and took a little creative work to make a new part to remedy that, and the whole tenderizer/bayonet front has to be unscrewed before you can take the slide off for work.

all in all, i say buy this, and then customize the hell out of it, it is so very worth it. and look quite badass with a riot shield in the other hand lol.

"this gun is fantastic. very sturdy construction, rate of fire is basically as fast as you can pull the trigger cause of the split slide.

maintenance is very easy, just have to take apart the front end first but still, very easy.

noticed some reviews mentioned problems with the weight, its only an issue if you cant hold a real one. lol.

overall, with all the parts available, id say this gun is more than worth the money. only real complaint i have is that holsters are not easy to find that work well with it, the longer barrel makes it stick out and the sights can catch.

"PLEASE, read this whole review, it covers some problems in this gun and how to fix them. It tells some what to do and not to do. Also some possible customizations.

I must have had this pistol for 6 months, I use it in games rather often when I get the chance. I recommend using the holy cow special to get a magazine because even the 30+1 rounds go fast. If you take the care to lubricate this gun often, nothing bad should happen. Also; try not drop the magazine on the nozzle. It will probably break. Many often mention a "leak issue" with the magazines, but I found a way to fix it (at the end of review*) A problem that happened to me was I played a game and dived in a sand bunker. I found that my pistol had leapt out of the holster on my vest and landed in the sand. This still comes back to me as I notice bits of sand in the trigger mechanism, the slide and every where with moving parts. My pistol at the moment has the -14mm unscrewable flash hider from my JG G3 T3 K1 (Great gun btw) and a slightly modified foregrip on the bottom rail. The flash hider actually increases accuracy quite noticeably. The foregrip is just really cool to have, the foregrip is this " UTG / AIM Ergonomic Vertical Tactical Foregrip. My gun easily hits a four inch wide tree from a measured 65 feet away. What I don't like about this gun is how difficult it is to simply adjust the hop up, or clean it. You have to unscrew the front pin with a tiny allen wrench, then you do the normal thing and take off the slide. I guess its not that bad, but kinda annoying. Speaking of hop up though, mine is adjusted to have the little arrow inside pointing to the screw right next to the hop up, you will know what I mean if you see it. The bb drops a tiny bit from 65 feet. I use .2 grams. When I fill up my mags with propane, I fill it in for 15 seconds exactly. I recommend cleaning your barrel with cut up cotton balls and an unjamming rod untill the cotton balls come out clean. Very powerful gun. However, the right side safety fell off, but the left side safety still works perfectly fine. My rear sight snapped when I dropped my gun. I love this pistol. But I clean it often. You should too. (Magazine leak fix below)




* step 1: find the button under the magazine, push it in with something long and thin like a paperclip and slide the bottom mag plate forward. The magazine will stop again at the second hole so do it again.
Step 2 get a slightly broad flathead screwdriver and a regular-small phillips head screwdriver. Use the phillips head to twist the black screw as tight as it will go. Then use the flathead to twist the gas feed nozzle (the sliver and gold thing) clockwise as tight as it will go. This should do the trick. It is also important that there are no bbs loaded as you do this and that you twist the black phillips screw first.

If you get this gun it is very helpful to read this review, and if you did, Thanks.

"This is one of the best guns i have ever owned, before i bought all of my guns at walmart and this is my first high quality gun. the gun has a great feel to it and once you start shooting it you will fall in love. i would definatly recommend this gun to any one.
Pros:
shoots hard
has great kick
is sexy
and many more
Cons:
none, expect that you don't own one
by Kevin S. on 04/04/2013
"Pros:
-weight
-accuracy
-short trigger pull for quick shooting
-looks and sounds awesome
-good power
-durability*

Cons:
-screws do need occasional tightening
-Holsters. This thing is too much gun for a regular holster to handle.
-right-side safety is a little loose.

Overall, this gun is absolutely worth the money. That little * next to durability? I was playing a objective game at my local CQB field and slipped while running with the objective. Put my hand down to break my fall without thinking, and the gun took my weight with barely a scratch, and still works perfectly. This gun is built like a tank and will last you quite a long time.
The only issue I have with this gun is that the younger players seem to be drawn to it during team selection like moths to a flame...
by Matt R. on 03/14/2013
"I Have Been running this GBB for the last year or two in games, and this gun is awesome! I run this gun all the time...

My setup is Pretty much two 51rd, hi caps and a low-cap and the hi-caps are great!

My advice is get a hi-cap, the gun looks intimidating!

Overall 5/5!
by Nathan W. on 02/27/2013
"This gun is amazing!

Pros:
-Nice kick
-Full Metal
-Can be fired quickly
-Hi-CAPA compatible parts
-Looks Intimidating
-Sturdy
-Gas Efficient
-Accurate
-Loud!

Cons:

All in all, this gun is way worth ordering. It's a beast to use and scares people away! Highly recommended.
PS: I preordered this gun, but it I got it right away as if it were in stock. Thanks evike.
by Kevin S. on 11/16/2012
"Fantastic gun, I love it!
Pros:
Accurate
Good kick
Looks fantastic
good fps
Nicely weighted gun

Cons:
the right side of the safety switch is loose
one of the mags was leaky

Overall, this thing is fantastic. It should be a crime to have this much fun with a single gun.
by Julia B. on 10/12/2012
"my freind brought this to a game and this thing was wicked has a nice sound to it when fired nice even weight 30-45 rounds in mag i believe mag release is kinda hard to reach but i have smaller hands so if u got bigger hands this will not be a problem u will probally need a bigger holistr 4 it though especially if u get the xtended version
by Daniel L. on 08/15/2012
"Awesome gun. It feels great, shoots straight, kicks hard, and dwarfs all other pistols of its price.

Pros:
Shoots very straight (thanks to very long barrel)
Reaches 100 feet with no hop easily
Rear sight is adjustable for precision
Mag release is position so you won't accidentally drop the mag
Mag was plastic bottom to prevent damage if dropped
Mag holds enough gas for nearly two full uses (around 50 shots)
Hard Recoil
Barrel does not move when firing due to front sight assembly

Facts (these can be either pros or cons):
Is very big (and intimidating)
Is very loud (and intimidating)

Cons:
Hop is a little hard to get to
Can be hard to find a holster big enough

All in all, I love it! The only thing I have against it is that it doesn't have unlimited ammo.
by Susan U. on 08/09/2012
"Very fun,big,heavy,loud,just amazing,it's truly scary
Pros:
Weight
30 Round mags
Decent kick
Durable
Cons:
Hard to find a holster
I can't afford another one so I can duel wield
I would recommend this to someone who wants a good blowback with lots of mag capacity,it's good in accuracy due to the 7 inch barrel,and it's the best airsoft gun I've ever owned.its worth the price!
by Jacob D. on 08/02/2012
"I love this gun, got it in the mail a week ago and been shooting it ever since, has a nice kick to it and sound, although I noticed after the 2nd day of using it the front end got a little wobbly.. that's really easy to fix though, just tighten up the 2 screws in the front and it'll be back to normal, also I noticed its a lot lighter than me other 1911 which surprised me, but seeing how it's built I guess it would make sense.

So, to the pros and cons.
