Matrix / S&T Sportsline M4 RIS Airsoft AEG Rifle w/ G3 Micro-Switch Gearbox (Model: Black CQB-R 7" / Go Airsoft Package)

"This was my first AEG and I don't care what most people will say, but I was on a budget and this gun is perfect for beginners! It's easy to disassemble, low budget as said, durable, easy to use, and very easy to customize. I have painted mine gold and gave it a new railed handguard and angled foregrip, new spring, and a mock suppressor. It has served me well and would recommend to ANY type of airsofter

"Bought this gun to have as a backup for myself and a loan gun for any of my friends if they ever came along with me and actually found myself using it more often than I thought. For the price you really cannot beat it. One thing I don't like is how much plastic is used but that's just my personal preference. Would 100% recommend for any level player!

"I absolutely love this gun. It feeds nice and shoots really well. I love the trigger. Only one thing that I had issues with and that is the mid cap BAMF magazines. The BAMF Magazines don't lock into place. The magazine that came with the gun feeds and shoots well. Have some Krytac 150rd mid cap coming. Hopefully these new magazines work. They should work. I also wanted to give a shoot out to customary service. I contacted customer service and they were knowledgeable and kind, and were able to fix my issue. Thanks EVIKE.

"Its an amazing beginner to intermediate M4.

I have been constantly using this rifle for target practice and field play for the last year, and it has held up spectacularly. The rifle can last all day on a single battery. The fire rate and trigger response is amazing. The plastic buffer tube can be annoying, but it isn't horrible. I have been able to use this rifle for up to 200 foot shots with ease. When paired with good bbs and a good optic, this rifle is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it for anybody looking to get into airsoft.

"This is a great gun. It shoots well and can handle anything you throw at it.

"Okay so here we go. I got the 5" one with the stubby fixed stock. first of all, The trigger response on a 11.1 is INSANE!!! you can really feather the hell out of this and get it shooting pretty fast. Full auto is good for a stock gun and well yeah... theres not much to it really, just buy it lol you won't regret it!

Heres some things you might wanna buy if you get the AFTER your warranty is over.

* Steel inner barrel (cause the stock is Brass and its light so it wobbles so just get a steel 6.03 barrel)
* Hop up rubber to go with the barrel. anything good. Maple leaf, pPometheus ECT.
* stock motor is great but I upgraded mine to a super high torque motor and its even better (RPS went lower tho)
* I also put 13.1 SHS gears in here and it boosted the RPS obviously and made the trigger response even better.
* Also change to DEANS its way better and cheap asf so just do it.

The stock air compression setup is good but you can upgrade it if you want, I didn't but you can if you want. it also doesn't feel cheap at all but eventually change the buffer tube and or Rail system. So yeah there's my review and just get this Beast.

"Overall good gun. I made a few changes to it myself. If you get the fixed stock version like I did, I had a problem with mine but may have been a factory error. The screw attaching the stock to the gun broke when I had it slung and the stock came off. I had to use it like a MP5 from that point on lol. I attached the batteries to the side with rubber bands. Not that big of a deal, just ordered a replacement screw.

"Very good starter gun if it is on sale I should not hesitate to buy it

"Totally underrated gun! Out of the box shot 365 FPS @ 22 RPS with a small stick lipo. I got the black one with the stubby stock. Mosfet let’s you spam the trigger, but can burn out quickly, but this thing rocks for such a low price. 10/10

"This gun works amazingly with an 11.1v lipo, hopup is easy to adjust and the gun feels very solid.

"Players at local field starting to take notice that these $150 guns smoke. Everyone is like “$150!?” Absolutely worth getting 3 fun variations of these than one overpriced $450 “quality” gun. Problem is they aren’t easy to find on the site so I end up sending the link to everyone. Evike’s dirty secret. “They are on page 165 in your search results, but we have great guns on the secret menu for cheap.”

"Read this before you buy.

I bought the "Black M4A1 | 350 FPS" version.

I used this gun twice on the field and both times it served me well. One of those two times it jammed on me, but the fix was super easy.

PROS

-Super high ROF (17 rounds per seconds with 9.6v)
-Pretty accurate
-Easy to adjust hop up
-Trigger response is okay
-Made of polymer, but it's super high quality polymer
-Some metal parts
-Can hold down full-auto for a long time without gun or battery heating up
-Lightweight (could be a con for some, I like the mobility)
-Cheap


CONS

-ROF on semi-auto is limited to about 6 rounds per second
-The included magazine's bottom screw kept unscrewing itself and now I can't use it
-Battery connecter is small tamiya instead of deans
-FPS is a little lower than what advertised (for my model). Maybe it's because I shot it alot before I went to the field causing the spring to wear down.
-Tight squeeze for a 9.6v butterfly to fit in the battery space without pinching the wires.

!!!READ THIS!!!
The last con I mentioned actually is a HUGE problem. The small tamiya connector is so fragile that if you're not careful with the wires, the wires will break off the connector, causing the gun to click and heat up when you try to use it. To fix it, the wires would need to be soldered back on the connector. If you don't know how to solder or you don't know anyone who can solder, avoid buying this gun.

Other than the wires attached to the connector breaking off partially, this is the BEST beginner gun out there and would HIGHLY recommend for anyone starting airsoft. Remember, you may want to stay away from this gun if you can't solder.

9/10.

"Arguably the best starter gun for CQB if ur into close range engagements. I have been playing airsoft for a pretty decent time and this by far has still got to be my favorite m16. I took this gun to my local arena: Nashville Airsoft and it destroys people. This gun was so fun to play with on top of a 2.5x sight on the 20mm rail on top. This is a must buy for anyone who is looking into close quarters combat airsoft for the price of $99 when on sale is an honest steal.

"I bought the dark stubby earth and it it amazing. The gun feels well made and sturdy. Also the red dot that the package comes with is very clean and easy to use. I recommend this too any new players as it is easy to use and has extra batteries. Over all happy with my decision and I will be purchasing from Evike again.



con:
the mock suppressor is a amplifier and makes the gun a bit loud

"Excellent product. I personally love how the Handel is removable. I'm tossing a red dot on her. The gear box sounds solid. It's a good gun and it seems a good platform for upgrades.
