S&T Full Metal Custom Sterling Airsoft AEG SMG with Heat Sink and Scope

"It's very nice very heavy and solid and details are cool
but, there is are some buts...there are parts which are not movie accurate:
scope is not in the right position but can be moved foward but still not in the right position as in the movies, a flash hinder part should be curved but is cornered, the likes i call lines the parts that covers the tube holes should cover all the hole so should be longer, the box with ammo counter should be little foward. Dunno if they do these errors for copyrights or else, but beside these is a really must have gun in your collection

"Well, Ill start off by saying; If your going to buy this, if you have any ideas of using this other than a prop, your insane... that being said, my main crapped out on me at an outdoor field and this is all i had as a back up, believe it or not, with .25 and hop up cranked all the way up and a little angling, I could pick off people with the scope at 125ish feet or so. lack of magazines meant i had to carry pre-filled speed loaders... please come out with more stubby mags for this... If I'm going to use it, might as well have some spare mags, plus 1 or 2 to tinker with and stick and led light in for tracers. Sadly, the scope is not adjustable, and slightly off, centered around the top-right quadrant. battery compartment is small, but there are quite a few PEQ box lipos that will fit. I went with an ASG 7.4 30 C 1000 mah box battery. From a Star Wars nerd's perspective on accuracy... its ok... The cooling veins/T-tracks are cut short 1 perforated hole length too short, minor annoyance. A pot of espresso, and this up-coming blizzard and I should be able to track down the parts pretty easy... and one more thing that may be less easy to track down... the intake lens (opposite end you look through, is position in the top half of the center of the scope, the E-11's scope was an M83 Sherman tank scope, and its intake lens was positioned in the lower. some minor criticisms and food for thought as feed back to the manufacturer. other than that. surprising performance for what it is, great weight, only full steal body airsoft gun I've seen in a while. obviously keep this thing indoors... and for 250 bucks its a great replica, even better if you can track down a few individual parts to make it a more authentic looking prop

pros
-Decent preformance
-Compact
-Heavy (some people consider a con)
-Accurate for size
-friggin steel, love it
-great replica for the price

cons
-proprietary gear box

-limited battery space
-Scope not adjustable
-Not 100% accurate to the movie prop

"As a Star Wars fan I was immediately drawn to this gun, I do believe it is a good gun for the price

Pros:
-Shoots reasonably well (upper 300 fps)
-It comes with the free scope
-folding stock can be nice as well
- Easy to reload and the mags aren't ridiculously expensive as some unique gun magazines are
- Battery is easy to access as is the hop up on the bottom of the gun

Cons:
-Be careful with what battery you buy, I made the mistake of buying the battery that was on the recommended link without double checking the size and my battery barely fits
- The stock, I don't know if I'm just being stupid but the stock is a little tricky to fold in and out, not something you could really do on the fly in the middle of a game
- The heat sink I had to super glue back into place as the wires are a little too powerful and they pulled off the part right next to the magazine, also the heat sink in general I feel like with medium use the whole thing will just break off as it's barely held on there and it's all plastic
- Being a scale replica I know I can't complain about this but it is fairly heavy for the size of the gun


Overall I love this gun, a few problems weren't enough to make me proud to add this to my arsenal

"Since the original S&T Sterling came out I was looking at these for an E11 Build. I picked this up recently. The add-on pieces are pretty solid, nothing rattles. Heatsinks are tight. There is an additional piece (not pictured) for the counter which has very basic decal of numbers on it that does need a little glue to be secure.
This loses a star however because the scope is not of great quality, being constructed of textured plastic with visible flash where the two halves are put together. Additionally the scope is not 100% accurate to an M38 scope (which the original is based on). The scope is also marginally functional, but has a very low eye relief (but you probably wont use it anyways). This is the one detail I will be looking to replace in the future with a more accurate one.
Overall though, excellent to see an E11 replica that shoots. With a few modifications to the counter and the scope this would be perfect. This is excellent if you want a shooting E11 but don't want to spend time converting one. Or a great starting point!

"Good blaster, but I can't seem to hit any rebel scum with it. It's probably not the gun though.
9/10

"If you can get past the inaccuracy of the gun, it functions VERY good as a cqb and just a fun gun to run around with. it functions just as well in outdoor fields, but it really shines when you bring it indoor. I'm sure the reason it looks different is the Star Wars license prohibited an exact replica, but it functions and that is why i give it 4 rather than 5. if you are great tech and prop master, you can definitely take this base gun and alter it to fix the inaccuracy of the blaster. get yourself a storm trooper helmet and go give yourself a fun time killing rebel scum

"First time I bought this, came in, and it was a complete dud. I returned it, and got another one.

This one, the plastic piece that attaches to the top of the magwell was barely even attached, to the point where I took out a mag and it broke off. The charging handle is jammed, and the grip of the gun doesn't look like it was secured properly, as it wobbles a lot. And the shoulder piece of the stock is super stiff, but nearly impossible to adjust. The scope's crosshair is also off by one notch to the right (not a hopup issue, the scope lens is clearly not put in properly).
And also, one of the mid caps I bought for it exploded when I was loading it.

Performance is a solid 9/10, no jams whatsoever, very consistent FPS, easy to adjust hop-up. It is a solid gun, if you get one that works

Beware buying this gun, it isnt "full metal", the scope is plastic, the T-tracks are plastic/rubber, and the counter box thing attached to the telephone wire is plastic.

"Just wish it would get in sooner, but I assume that that's objectional. Other than that it seems to be a pretty great gun, I would mainly use it for CQB though, as it's more of a spray and pray weapon. ;)
