"I've had this gun for about 4 months now, It is my first and final AEG, It's priced like a starter but its built professionally. the hand guard, stock, and pistol grip aren't that great but this gun is fully customizable and has a very nice full metal gearbox which shoots at a perfect FPS (which if you turn the hop all the way up you can get it down pretty far for field limits). Overall a must buy for starter airsofters. for $180 you can't beat it.
Pros:
Full metal gearbox
full metal receiver and barrel
amazing gun for the price
Cons:
handguard is a little hard to open but it gets better with time.

"This is a very nice gun. The metal body is great. There are ris units that fit for $55 which adds +50 beast points but you need a peq box or a battery pouch. The dust cover works but it gets stuck and some times it doesnt go all the way forward, which as you already know "ain't nobody got time fo dat". The fps is great at 400. If you're thinking of buying this, get it. Make it unique to you.
Pros:
Nice looking
Lots of upgrades
Fire rate
Metal body
Fps
Cons:
Dust cover
(You ain't got dis)

"There really isn't a lot to say about this gun, overall, it was an amazing purchase and I'm really happy that I got the WE- Tech. There was a problem with mine when it first came however; I sent in the RMA to Evike and they fixed it with no problem. Turns out I needed a motor replacement. That really turned me off and had me worrying for a while. When I got it back, I went out to play with friends and the thing preformed amazingly. This gun has excellent FPS(375-400 w/ .2 and about 350 w/ .25s) and is Full Metal. Those are the two main things that I love about this gun. The gun does come with a plastic 300rd mag; I have yet to use it because I have others that I prefer. If you can afford the not to bad price, I would definitely go with the WE-Tech.
Overall, 5 out of 5

"This gun is truly amazing and completely out preformed my expectations. first real pro of the gun is the high rate of fire, second would be the accuracy because with a slight bit of adjustment its incredibly accurate. There are only a few cons one being a very slight wobble in the stock, and the receivers. another minor problem i ran into was the motor get hot but not too bad just something to keep in mind. this gun also accepts a wide variety of mags so that one of my favorite things about it.
TL;DR great gun don't let the minor cons stand in the way of buying it

"This gun is great. Don't listen to the one guy who was mad over a broken gun. Mine is broken, I have had to order new screws, and open the gun up countless times to fix it. One of my MOE Screws fell out now the motor doesn't sit right. Besides the fact the gun shoots like a dream, and is accurate as / . Yet the photo doesn't look all too appealing, the gun feels like the real deal in your hands. Don't settle for some poopy plastic Lancer. I've dropped this thing hundreds of times and the thing is only scratched (Paint scratches easy).
Pros:
-Accurate
-Powerful
-Good Weight
-Sexy
-Full Metal
-Good Rate of Fire
Cons:
-Stock Wobbles Slightly (Can Be Fixed)
-Screws Fall Out (Make Sure Those Puppys Are Tight!)
-Paint Scratches Easy
-Hard to Disassemble
Although disassembling may seem like thing you'll never do, but once you realize how much you really have to you'll be surprised. To all starters, this is a great gun.

"Picked this up for $120 last year as an early Black Friday deal. Built like a pro gun, but price is very affordable. Good construction with actual polymer furniture, instead of ABS like most Chinese guns use. Body is metal with a very nice looking finish, albeit prone to scratching. Performance is pretty good out of the box. Doesn't come with battery or charger and, since this was my first AEG, I needed to buy them separately. Since the purchase, I have outfitted the gun with a compliment of Magpul furniture and a red dot sight. I am not an expert in the internals of an AEG, so I can't really comment on that, but the spring decompression feature is a very nice touch to prolong the life of the gearbox. All in all, a great base gun for a beginner or a starting platform for a pro build.
Pros:
-Solid construction
-Polymer (not ABS) furniture
-Metal body
-Spring decompresses when gun is switched to "Safe"
-Slightly modified V.2 gearbox (for the bolt catch and decompression features), so still accepts V.2 upgrades
-Great value
Cons:
-Finish scratches easily
-Packaging was concerning (zip-tied inside of a plain cardboard box)
-LOUD (really loud, will be installing sorbo pads and silent upgrades because I just can't handle it anymore...might as well wear earplugs)
Overall, pros outweigh the cons. I would recommend this to pretty much anyone.

"I got my WE-TECH prob a year ago. I own the real version of this gun and it feels the same weight and its accurate and overall a great gun. I have played in the rain and in the snow and it worked with no problems. The safety spring release worked for awhile but then stopped working. But all I got to do is switch to single and shoot once to release the tension. Its a cool idea but is the only thing I have found go wrong. The wiring from the motor to the battery is a little short and can be annoying and get pinched while trying to put the gun back together.
Pros:
Almost all metal
Great FPS
Accurate
Reliable in weather
Highly Customizable
Cons:
Safety Spring Release quit working, but still can release tension by shooting once in single shot.

"This is a great gun, My younger brother has had this gun for nearly six moths now and it still works like it just came out if the box. I have the D-boys CQB-R gun on the way for me because I am so impressed with this brand. It came with a 9.6V 1200 MaH battery and a standard wall charger (get a smart charger if you don't already have one, there 20 bucks and save your batteries). I currently have a ignite black ops m4 cobra, and it looks awful compared to this out on the battlefield. Another thing I was impressed about, was that his seemed to stay running longer than anyone elses, even though he always seemed to be firing more than I was. I have not chronoed this gun but know it shoots harder than anyone else that we play with.
Pros.
Great overall feel
Hard shooter
No wobbling
Cons.
Mag didnt want to stay in at first (was an easy fix)
Stock wont go all the way down with battery in (about 5/6ths normal)
Difficult to open reciever.

"First off the weapon is beautiful!! It feels and fits in my hands like the real M4 carbine I used in the military. It feels practically sturdy and practical which all Airsoft players need. So I'll list off the pros and cons in my opinion.
PROs
Full metal(most of it except the pistol grip and the sliding piece of the crane stock.)
Iron rear sight is included
Comes with goodies(Grip, 1pt sling, battery, charger. Etc)
It feels like the real deal.
CONs
No front sight(no biggie actually)
Mag doesn't seem to stay at first but once you wiggle it and it locks your golden
In conclusion ladies and gents this weapon system is very captivating in the sense of appeal and realism. It feels great in my hands and the mag falling is a easy fix. If not tape is your amigo. Don't let something like that deter you from this system. It's pretty amazing and from dry firing it it sounds pretty intimidating and sounds as if it will hurt. So in my opinion a great weapon. Three times better than the old M4 I had.!! Giving it 5 stars!

"Absolutely Wonderful
Got this from a different site 6 months ago and I haven't had a single problem since. It's quite accurate up to 100-150 feet depending on wether you are indoors or outdoors. I have taken it to several events since I purchased it and it has always done exceptionally well in both outdoor/long range and indoor CQB settings.
Pros- accurate, fast, relatively easy to take down, compact, quiet, and above all it is consistent.
Cons- no front sling mount.

"This rifle has been one of the best I have owned.
The stock motor is reliable but ultimately you will want to upgrade it. The gearbox is solid and the stock spring is not bad out of the box. Hop up is alright for being a 2 piece hopup unit, BUT i will say that you will want to replace the bucking. I put a G&P in it and made it 10x better.
My biggest peeve about the rifle is that the handguard is floating, which after a while may start to slouch at the front. I would recommend putting a mock gas block and give the hand guard some extra support on the front and make it look more milsim.
