Matrix / S&T Sportsline M4 RIS Airsoft AEG Rifle w/ G3 Micro-Switch Gearbox (Model: Dark Earth / Block 3 13.5")

"This is a great gun and works quiet well

"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.

"this gun is insane ive had it for 3 years now and ive had no problems with the gun. but i recommend a new crane stock; the rubber cushion broke of right after i tripped over a downed fence in the woods and try to get a new battery as well. this gun is reliable and fully upgrade able. i would recommended this gun for beginners and higher level air softers

"First of all, let me say... this gun is amazing for the price. I used to dislike WE-Tech after their terrible Glock line-up, but lately I have been buying a few of their guns, and they are just blowing me away. I have skirmished with this gun for about 10 hours, and have had no failures or misfeeds from any magazines so far (knock knock on wood :). I have customized it a little by adding the following:
.223 ris handguard
1 point bungee sling
Truglo red dot
Flashlight fore grip.
Most of my friends use G&G Combat Machines and JG guns, and this outperforms them by a mile. I'd say this is probably evenly matched a G&P or with my friend's VFC gun.

Pros:
High quality, full metal receivers, barrel, screws, sling loops, iron sights, carry handle?, bolt assembly, etc.
~400 fps (perfect since I only play outdoors)
23-25 rps (with a 9.6v battery)
Flawless mag compatibility (so far I have tested G&G, WE, MAG, Classic Army)
Accurate (head shots at 85' with .25s)
Bonus features! (can't beat a bolt catch and spring tension release)
Intimidating noise when fired
One piece outer barrel (makes switching out a breeze)
Stock is extremely sturdy and comfortable
Very little wobble
Very nice finish (matte black with some light grey parts)
Weight (7 lbs of pure beauty!)

Cons:
Bolt catch does not always work if you release the charging handle quickly (still a nice feature though).
Hand grip does not feel the nicest in your hand when shooting a lot.
You have to sit the magazines just right in the magwell or else they won't click into place.
No trades (I prefer this since it shows the nice paint job, but others might dislike this)
I already put weight in the pros section since I love the heaviness, but to be honest it does put some stress on my shoulders when I have it slung at my side.

That's it! Only about 1 or 2 of those cons were legit problems... the rest were just opinionated annoyances. Do not let those petty cons stop you from buying this fantastic rifle. WE-Tech seriously outdid themselves this time!

"I have had this model for about 6 months now and I believe it is a solid airsoft gun. The spring tension release by placing the gun on safety is great. Gun shoots great with a 9.6 volt battery and has great range. My gun was chrono at 399 fps on the field with .20 bb's. Only complaint, you need to eat your Wheaties to get the hand guards off. Difficult, but not impossible. I sure that will get easier over time.

"This is a really good beginner AEG. Its is really accurate has really good range and is perfect for field. PROS= RANGE/ACCURATE UP TO 150 FEET/GRAET RATE OF FIRE COULD BE A DMR IF U WANT IT id give it a 10/10 k

"Good gun , crane stock version is better because handguard sucks to take off only problem is it doesn't come with navy seals trademarks but over all good gun great rof, good fps, decent range

"Ok so i got this gun today its great good weight good feel. Ran it threw the crono and i got 405fps with .20 and 20rps with a 11.1 lipo. everything works i love the bolt release is nice and crisp the lazer engraving is wonderful very please with this gun. BUT we checked it next to a king arms thats about ten bucks more at a even 200 at the local airsoft shop with the same battery and bb's it was shooting 400fps with 25rps and it also has the colt trades. so its kind of a up to what you want but this is a great weapon

Pro's
cheap its a full metal M4 for under 200 bucks with great internals
great feel great looks
good ROF
pritty accurate keept a 6inch grouping at 50feet with .20
you can decompress the gun by going to SAFE on the fire selector
every one of my mags fit and feed well from the G&G,MAG,KWA,LONEX,and DBOYS

Cons
King arms is just that little bit bettor
the carring handel on mine was 2 tone not a big deal i put a red dot on anyways
WE has the worst packaging in the world it had no padding at all

Over all this is a great gun and from what the internals look like it will work with every TM part out there so you dont have to worrie about parts being out of stock ill give this 5 stars but keep in mind that if you have the money and do not want the skull frog the king arms is still out their, great buy i hope WE makes some more AEG's

"AWESOME AEG i just got the WE-TECH m4 in the last thursday and it has an awesome realistic weight to it and the skull frog is really cool. This gun is great because every mag works with it and it has never had a failer to feed any of the rounds. The gun shoots about 400 fps at about 18-22 rounds a second. Also you gotta love the safety, having the safety release the tension of everything in the gearbox was awesome idea keep up the good work we tech.

Pros:
Detensioning safety system
Feeds really good with all mags
realistic weight
solid (not gonna fall apart anytime soon)
very accurate at any range of distance

Cons:
NONE

Hope to do a review on the gun sometime soon when i get around to it.
Highly recommend to any airsofter out there.

"Love the build quality of this gun! What is the build quality of this gun? Perfect!

"I got this gun about three to four days ago
Right out of the box the gun was amazing. It has a very good weight, full medal body, high fps, and a good amount of rail space.
the ROF on this gun was pretty good but wasnt insane
this gun was easily reaching out to lengths similar to a sniper with .28"s
the gun had no misfeeds with any mag i put in it (WE TECH,DBOYS,MAG,PMAG,EMAG,)
on thing tht was slightly wrong was that the imitation bolt only clicked forward when the gun was aimed down, other wise i would need to push it the rest of the way forward with my finger (this my just be my gun so dont take my word for it)
this gun was a great buy and well worth the money
for the price u get a great gun.
i do plan on using the gun as a DMr/sniper

"This gun is fantastic! With a 9.6v the ROF is insane! Both the upper and lower receiver are metal so its not gonna break anytime soon. Its a pretty heavy gun which is nice. Shoots up to 200ft with .20s and is very accurate and hits hard.
PROS:
-metal upper/lower receiver
-comes with 300rd metal high cap.
-shoots far
-good ROF
-hits hard
CONS:
-does not come with battery,charger,or cleaning/unjamming rod
-hand guard for battery compartment is a bit hard to get off when you first get it but gets easier

Thats about it. Great gun! If i were to buy it again i totally would.

"I LOVE THIS GUN!!! I have only had it for about 2 days now, and I am in love with it! I put a red dot scope on it, and a Magpul CTR stock in the rear, and this thing looks absolutely superb.

PROS:
Accurate
FPS is fantastic
Full Metal
Navy Seal Imprints!

CONS:
Battery is a pain in the butt to get in and out

"This gun is absolutely amazing!!!
I have had it for abut 6 months and everything is still perfect on it.
I bought 5 p-mags for it and they feed great.

PROS
good weight
good fps
superb range
nice spring release feature
good stamping
intimidation factor

CONS
stock has a little wobble
