Matrix / S&T Sportsline M4 RIS Airsoft AEG Rifle w/ G3 Micro-Switch Gearbox (Model: Dark Earth RIS 9" / Go Airsoft Package)

"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.

"I bought this gun and i love it! The price is perfect and you get everything. My friend spent more on his cqb KWA m4 and mine shoots higher fps and i have a higher rate of fire. I bought this gun and the 340$ vest on here the cordor gaurder and 2 mid caps. Honestly its perfect. I carry a little jar of bb;s with me in the case i run out but im more of like a guy that likes to aim and shoot not just fire so a hi cap and 2 mid caps is fine..

There are some downsides to this:
the battery dies out fast so have a spare or a smart charger.. not big problem
Fuse burns out fast.. Theyre cheap 1$ but to put them on is hard. If u dont know how u need to take it in can take 15 - 35 minutes...

Now what i wanted to know from a moderator was,
I just bought a 11.1 Li-po Battery for this gun and i wanted to know if itll work? Let me know if the Zombat is compatable with an 11.1 lipo battery. Thanks

"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.

"This gun is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I bought it about a year and a half ago, and it still works wonders. However, when I first got it, there was an issue with an overactive hop-up. That was easily replaced with a tightbore barrel. I also recommend a Classic Army crane stock, if you can find one laying around Evike's store. (Which is the holy grail of Airsoft, if you haven't been). I bought an ACOG red dot scope for mine, and the BB "hits" the dot every time I shoot it. Don't use this gun for large matches (open fields). Stick to close forests, or back behind houses like I do. Also, I recommend a 9.6v battery for a crane stock, if you like that little extra punch.

Pros__
-Accurate CQB weapon
-Realistic Metal feel
-Very durable
-Nice feel to it

Cons__
-Bad default battery life


Hope you found this review helpful!

"This was my first airsoft rifle. I bought it without doing the necessary research beforehand. Suffice to say, I was lucky on this one. I highly recommend buying the 9.6v battery as mentioned in this ad description. This rifle's rate of fire is fairly high!
My model feels pretty solid, with very little body wobble. It has a good weight to it, and is decently accurate.
My main problems with my rifle are twofold: 1.--I'm not too thrilled with the Crane Stock due to the limited battery options. I'm contemplating a switch to an exterior-rail mounted battery system, and 2.--I absolutely abhor that orange painted tip-area on the mock silencer. I would much rather have the old birdcage flash supressor. I tried to see if that part was removable, which it is not. So, it looks like I will break out the flat black auto paint!
Overall, I have heard many complaints in regard to other D-Boy products. This model rifle should NOT be overlooked. I highly recommend this rifle.

"I got my jg cqb-r about 1 month ago. it has consistantly shot 401fps sence i got it. ive upgraded it with a tenergy 10.8 4500 battery and rof is insane. ive also put a jbu 455mm 6.03 barrel with zombie killer silencer and accuracy is insane all the way out to 150ft. my friend advised against the 10.8 battery but its been on there for 3 weeks and i havnt been easy on it and it hasnt let up one bit. also i have put on a bipod foregrip and 5,000 round a&k mag ,scope riser with a leapers red green scope.
the silencer did alittle bit to silence the gun down but not much. dont get it if you want a quiet gun cause like the jg m16 its very loud. i personaly like it . .

"Got it in the mail today and it seems sturdy and good.

Chrono'd it with .25's and it shot 360fps.

Range and accuracy it is pretty good especially on semi.
Shorter stock makes the gun more comfortable.
9.6v fit in the stock just fine.

Only 'con' was it sounds a little tingy when it fires but thats it.

Overall I would recommend it. Echo 1 tends to make good guns and this one is an upgrade to their regular m4 series.

"this gun is sick. the only problem that ive had with it is it seems 2 jam every once n a while but ive decided that its a mag feeding prob.i love this gun

Webmaster: All you need is some silicone oil in your hop-up unit and you should shoot smoothly.

"The body is abs plastic, but it doesn't feel like the crappy abs plastic on the echo1 mp5j.
This gun is actually quite heavy considering its body is plastic. This gun is very VERY well balanced. It just feel right in your hands. Since it just floats in your hands the ergonomics for this gun are off the charts. I'd give this gun a 10/10 if i could.


PS: GET THIS GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"OMG this gun is awesome i love it i got it just a few days ago and it decimates my other team mates they looked at me funny at first then they were all quiet. No one messes with me with this gun.

"saw this gun in person, its nice, has upgraded internals with some aftermarket parts, element orange torque piston, madbull blue bucking, and a nice RIS, Only downsie to this gun is the body is ABS not metal :)

"the body is shiny and the trades and markings arnt very convincing...

however is good price for a good performing aeg with good compression. Jg/echo1 has good internals in the newer aegs, only thing need to change is the bucking to systema and get a nice tightbore barrel and add a good 9.6v high output battery and your scrimmage ready.
