"bought as more of a funny gun but it’s snappy and accurate, for a little bit, the front end of the barrel gets wobbly after use and only goes through one mag of full auto before being out of gas but other than that it’s super fun to use

"This is a great gun. It is very powerful, and the full auto is quite impressive. Like others have said, the full auto uses up c02 really fast. Mine goes through about two and a half magazines before the c02 runs out (crosman c02 and 0.20 gram bbs). It also has some overhop issues which, as I have heard, can be fixed by using 0.3 gram bbs instead of 0.2. I was able to 3d print a mount that fits in the groove in the back of the handle to attach a stock which makes it much more comfortable to shoot. (Stocks can be bought, but they are expensive). I did notice that the blowback piston has a plastic piston head instead of an o-ring like my Luger does. I think if they used a rubber O-ring it would be more efficient.
pros:
Schnazzy full auto
high power
snappy blowback
mostly accurate (shoots high, I will try heavier bbs)
HISTORICALLY ACCURATE
cons:
inefficient
awkward to handle (again, historically accurate which I appreciate. also very heavy)
I wish the hop up was adjustable
there is no slide lock or lock for when the last round is fired

"I really like this guy because as soon as I take it out everyone laughs like it isn't fast it isn't heavy. They doubt everything about it. Then you go to practice shooting it and everyone thinks you're shooting some PolStar. Nah that's my side arm. I want two of these just to be that guy.
Now the reason I only rate it a 4 star is because the barrel is a little wobble. Now it's not affecting the fun of the gun but once you notice it, that really can't get out of your mind. Just be careful with the thing because. it. is. heavy. for a hand gun.
If I could give it a 4.5 I would but this is my honest review

"This pistol is an absolute monster. It isn't perfect; most airsoft guns are not, but for 120 bucks it will absolutely fit into a collection of niche firearms that aren't modern military or police weapons. And niche it is; that's part of the problem with most of this gun, and also part of the appeal (at least for me).
PROS:
Strong Construction: This gun is as solid as a rock, and most of it won't break if you drop it besides the mag, but for over 40 bucks you won't be dropping those mags FOR SURE. Nothing on it wobbles save for the mag when it's in the gun, but that's to be expected.
High power: Shooting at an average of over 400 fps out the box, you can easily use this for medium range engagements and outshoot players with AEG's; just be accurate when you do.
Blowback: The blowback is hefty and definitely befits the gun's weight. In addition, this thing is also loud as hell and will scare the daylights out of anyone in enclosed spaces.
Full Auto: If your field allows it, absolutely use this setting in close quarters; it will outshoot any AEG SMG with more power, and if you're talented you can't be stopped with this gun.
Customization: Even though there's no tactical rails for scopes, You can buy full wood grips and stocks/holsters for these guns for about 50-60 bucks on amazon, and then you have a carbine set up for more accurate play if you intend to run this as a primary, which you totally can.
CONS:
Uncomfortable: The grip without a stock is uncomfortable, and your hand will ride up. You almost can't hold this gun comfortably, and it will take some getting used to.
Expensive Parts: Buying CO2 will set you back, mags cost far too much, holsters are also expensive and you can't use normal ones. Basically, everything but the gun itself costs far too much and if you plan to start running this thing frequently in games, you'll have to invest.
Useless sights: The iron sights on this gun are basically nonexistent, and the only scopes anyone makes that I've seen are all Han Solo scopes that cost too much. If you want the classic look, you're going to have to make due with no sights, and if you want the Han Solo scope it's more for aesthetics and adds weight to an already heavy gun.
Heavy: While the weight and full metal contribute to make this a strong weapon, it also makes it unwieldy. I honestly don't consider this a handgun, it's more a carbine for me that has a stock you can use to make it one handed. This is NOT a sidearm; it's too powerful to be used like that.
Overall, if you're not worried about price, this could make an outstanding primary and a good secondary if you use a close range weapon. I personally love it, but I hate that none of my gear can be used compatibly with it. The gun has good merits; it's a weapon that is sturdy and will shoot hard. But it isn't the most comfortable or ergonomic gun. I personally don't mind that, but many who like a comfortable gun should steer clear of this one. I'd absolutely recommend it.

"The barrel is insanely wobbly which makes your accuracy poo after around 30ft if your lucky, and regardless of whatever gram BB you use they will drift up at around 35 ft. Even if you get a wrench small enough to tighten the barrel it will loosen up soon after running around with it. The magazines have a horrible CO2 compartment. When you tighten the CO2 the treads are completely shot in your first year with the gun, two if you're lucky. If you could just buy new tread compartments it wouldn't be half bad but they don't sell those so you have to keep buying new mags.
This gun will be the best thing to happen in your airsoft career...but for only a year because then it will begin its slow deterioration and force you to euthanize it.
Just buy a regular CO2 pistol.
Pros - If you're having a close-quarter match with your buddies this will be their worst nightmare and they will hate you because this gun hits like a freight train carrying whole grown Black Angus beef.

"Very good gun, accurate and a joy to have. However the magazine has several issues and the gun will need a lot of maintenance. The nub on the back that holds the mag in wears out VERY quickly, had my gun for about 4 months before it wore off. Also beware the piece that feeds ammo into the gun should be slightly rounded when you get the gun, or it will chew up the seal on the top of the mag. However the mag itself is EXTREMELY strong.
Pros: Mag itself is durable
lots of ammo
Realistic
Very fun to use
Cons: Some vital parts wear out easily
Seal will get chewed up if you don't modify the gun.
Too hot for most CQB fields, about 380-410
Absolute hog on C02, get about 2 mags out of each can.

"Pros: best broom handle airsoft I have used
- rate of fire amazing
- very accurate due to weight and barrel on single fire
Cons:
- 1 Co2 per magazine when using it in full auto, if you are lucky and stop shooting when empty you can get 2 mags out of it
- heavy
- shoots too hot for most airfields ~420+
- the rate of fire wears out the internals quickly. You must make sure you tighten screws and grub screws periodically and lubricate. Had to go back to KWC and order $30.00 worth of replacement parts after the guns pot metal internals failed. Not sure why they would make the parts that absorb so much impact are not hardened steel.
