Matrix / S&T Sportsline M4 RIS Airsoft AEG Rifle w/ G3 Micro-Switch Gearbox (Model: Dark Earth URX 3.1 12")

"I have this weapon and might I say it is OUTSTANDING!!! I have not had a problem with it yet and I've owned it for about 8 months, I came from a Marui M4 to this DBOY and I would Prefer this M4 over the Marui.

PROS:
Realistic weight and metal construciton!! ( Feels like my M4 that i used in the Army)
Very mobile and great for CQB
OUTSTANDING ROF
Absolutley NO feding issues and once you get the hopup set right shoots like a DREAM!!

CONS:
NONE

"This gun is a must buy for starters!!. I have been playing airsoft for years honestly, mainly using spring snipers. My friends jumped to aeg's and i was being outgunned since i had a lower fps and also a bolt to pull back. My friend got his second aeg which is the jg m4 s system, which is the same exact as this one, so i knew i was going to get a good one. Most people complain about jg, and frankly i have not experience or heard of a friend experiencing any problems with them at all.

Pros:
very small, but can be modified to look like an m16 or larger m4 length wise by adjusting the stock.
can be modified alot since jg is compatible with quite a few other things.
light-ish
mock bolt pulling action which allows you access to the hop up
shoots hard
shoots fast
the weaver rear sight seems built to last
the delta ring is removable. if removed it gives you access to a twist screw thing to mount twist on rails like the AIM sports m16 length rail

Cons:
like listed above, the rails could be just a tad better.
the flash hider is a mother to get off. (not really a con for most)
the batteries take some fiddling with to fit into the crane stock and to remove :/

Note: the butt pad for the battery access is easy to get off. once you push the pin things a few times you can just pop it off without even pressing them.

I highly recommend getting a 12.5in free float rail system that screws on, and a 6 in supressor if you want the internally silenced spec ops look!

Way to go JG! this gun is fantabulous!

"this gun is awesome feels extremely sturdy great rof great fps nice weight my mag well is a bit tricky to use because it is sometimes hard to tell if your clip is locked into place and i have to fight with it sometimes to lock but other than that this gun has been quickly becoming one of my favorites

"I have had this gun for about 8 months now and I cannot be happier. Used this thing in the hot summer and cold winters and have had no problem. Did get a stronger battery like recommended 1600mah and it works fantastic. Great gun for the price! You can do so much with it!

Pros: Sleak design - weight no problem
Consistant with FPS - 380FPS
Great range
Motor makes unique sound that people always ask about. (STOCK)
Hop up is very easy to work with

Cons: Some of my mid cap magazines wobble a little

"Well, first off, let me say - I was a bit skeptical buying this gun. The Stealth kit is extremely slick, but I had a slight problem with it. The delta ring (the part that screws on) was slightly rotated to the right, so the handguard's rails were a little crooked. I fixed this, and ended up buying a new screw on AiM Sports 12 RiS.

Pro's_
- Dboys is a great, and reliable, company.
- Dboys weapons are extremely compatible with a lot of parts. If you are looking for a unique gun that you can upgrade the heck out of.
- The stock has barely any wobble, and the fat part acts as a great cheek rest. I eventually bought a new stock with a textured cheek pad and compartment, but the stock stock (no pun intended) is great.
- The thread on the barrel is CCW, so you can mount a ton of barrel extensions or suppressors on it.

Con's_
- The RIS was a bit crooked. No problem, really, just a bit annoying
- Pretty much it.

Things you should know -
- It only comes with a rear sight
- The suppressor is extremely easy to take off. Just unscrew the whole rail system, and then twist the suppressor hard clockwise. I have a barrel extension and a Surefire Quick Detach suppressor inside a 12" free float rail - might I say, it is sexy.
- This gun is a GREAT gun to build off of, and modify.

Hope this helped,
Brandon

"I got this gun 9 months ago and today is first time it broke. Every thing on the gun is great exept for the hand grip. It cant suport the battery very well but its easy to bye a metal one. This gin gets a 5 stars for me.

"this gun is a over all awsome. i had this gun for at least 3 months now and i love it. i would highly recommened you to get this gun. get a optic with it because it doesnt come with a front site. this gun is a good looking gun. on a rate from one to ten i would give this gun a nine out of ten. so i recommened this gun to a new or intermedite player. works good for feild and cqb. thats my review i hope you like it.

"I bought this gun about 2-3 years ago. It has done me extremly well and I do not regret purchasing it for the price. There are many upradable components about this gun. Enjoy it for a great price.

"I've had this gun for nearly a year and it still runs amazingly. I have only needed to replace the battery. Its very comfortable and can be modified extremely easily.

"I've owned this gun for about 6 months now and it being my first good quality AEG I am thoroughly impressed. In the review it says the battery is for test purposes only, but I've been using it in all my matches and it hasn't let up an ounce. While im sure it could be better, the ROF is still pretty impressive and I havnt found an opponent yet that can match the range. The only thing I would probably upgrade with this gun is a longer barrel, red-dot scope, and a metal casing. Other than that, I love this gun! I have gone from win-some-lose-some to lose-few-win-most.

Pros:
-Decent ROF out of box
-Killer FPS (405)
-Fairly light
-Metal Railing
-Hurricane Stock (very comfortable)
-Long lasting battery (I go all day, not one time has it died on me)
-Rail covers (make it super comfortable)
-Really accurate

Cons:
-Short Barrel (it's a con for me)
-Plastic Body (doesn't rust though)
-Needs a good Red-dot

"i own this gun and it is thee best gun iv ever owned. its build is realy sturdy mostley metal. you can add SO MANY things to this gun i have a scope on mine because the thing fires so bang far for such a small compact gun! the gun is the perect size and works as a rifle and as a cqb weopon!
-pros-
fps is amaizing
looks
sturdy build
so customizable
rate of fire
rails
barrett
battery life

-cons-
rackety sound wen shooting (its completely normal for this gun)
have to use high polished bb's

overall this is the best gun iv ever baught and iv owned sum 16 guns.

"I highly recommend this weapon for anyone who loves m4's. The rate of fire and the accuracy has made many people bleed from around 50 feet or more. My teamates hate going against me when I am using this rifle. For the price this is the best gun for your buck.

"This is a very reliable gun. I bought an extra mag for it (believe me you will need it). It has a very high fps, and a very nice rpm. It is built very sturdy and will not let you down. Mine broke, and we e-mailed echo1 since my warranty was up, and they were very nice and sent me the parts i needed FOR FREE!! I would definitely look into buying this gun for your collection. I am the leader in the assault team within my team and have led my team to many victories wielding this beast of a gun!! I also bought a grenade launcher, but that isn't relevant to this review..just wanted to brag a bit :D

Pros:
~very good fps
~nice rpm
~Very sturdy and won't let you down
~very durable and can fit a 9.6v pretty easily

Cons:
~mine broke...but that's just mine.

SWAT out

"I bought this gun on a different website for 150, but without the jungle kit and the 2009 version. My first recommendation is to stick with evike because of their service and information they give. I'm not going to write another whole review (I did on the other website but the 2009 version was deleted) but I will say this gun is worth it. There are several things I recommend though.
1. Buy a front sight. _____
2. Battery is bad, get a 9.6v suitable for a crane stock =---_____ like that.
3. Get a tightbore 300mm barrel. This helps alot!
4. If you don't want iron sights, buy a red dot or acog scope.
5.(optional) Buy rail attachments. Lots of rails.

With these, the gun is awesome. You do not need to open up the gun much to upgrade, just get a new battery and a tightbore barrel. That's all you need!

"Hey I'm sorry to post a question on here, I've never done that... but does anyone know if the barrel is like the regular Echo M8A3 where the outer one can just screw off, and the inner is realistically around 300mm? I was debating buying this rifle and swapping the barrel with like a KX3 type flash hider. Saw a youtube review with one of those on the M8A3 so I was hoping this was pretty much the same.
