FN Herstal Licensed Full Metal SCAR-L Airsoft AEG Rifle by Cybergun (Color: Tan)

"I bought this gun a few months ago and I have played many games with it, It's a very very solid gun but with that being said the internals are ok. The SCAR shoots way too hard for even .25's and i haven't quite figured out a solution. I gave it a 3 because of the way it shoots .25's up after about 50 feet. I have a feeling mine is going to break sometime soon.

Pro's
solid weight and feel
great price for scar

bucking slams bb's out too hard
may not last very long

"is this echo 1 scar the same as the dboys scar like identical or are they different at all

"Brandon, your friend most likely did not have an upgrade when he used the Lipoly battery, which in turn would brake his gun. I have been using a Lipoly battery for awhile an it works great because I have internal parts for it. I have always loved the look of the scar and this looks amazing. If you do get it, I personally would get a Lipoly fix and this gun would be even more sick.

"This was my second AEG and I like the gun, but there are a few cons, If you are just getting into airsoft, I would recommend this gun, but for extremers, this is not the gun for you. I would rate this gun a 7 out of 10.


Pros:
Good FPS
Solid
Durable
Rate of Fire with 9.6v
Hop ups are easily adjustable

Cons:
Bolt catch doesn't do anything
Wiring sticks out when stock is folded back
Takes some m4 mags (Pro and con)
Glued on flashhider
Battery department doesn't fully close with 9.6v

"I feel like I should review this again, now that I have had the gun for a while and know a bit about teching. First off, let me say this: this gun will not last you a year. It's an awesome, cheap SCAR-L for UPGRADES ONLY. If you just want a backyard plinker and/or don't mind replacing parts, this gun will be great for you, but it will start breaking pretty soon. I've had this gun for around a year, and something in the gearbox recently stripped like crazy after infrequent light use. Best part is, I can't find out what broke, since the screws on the motor grip came stripped. Over all, this gun isn't too good unless you plan on replacing too many parts than you should in any AEG. I know, some of you may not have the budget, but I would suggest you save up for a VFC SCAR-L instead of this. This would be a good upgrade gun, though.

Just remember: thoroughly research the SPECIFIC GUN you want to buy. Also make sure you look for common problems with it. Don't ever do like I did and do a bit of research on the company. That is the reason I got this and am now selling it as junk for around $80.
I am rating this a 3 out of 5, because I would love to use this as a project gun to replace all of the internals of, if I could take it apart.
Seriously, if you aren't specifically looking for SCARs, I hear a lot of great things about ICS's Sportline guns.

"To begin, the gun that I got is NOT worth the flat out praise the other reviews have given it. I'm quite convinced those reviewers got a different gun than I, as this was discontinued for some time. Also mention of other manufacturers like Echo 1 and G&G are among these reviews. The description of the gun is also incorrect as it states the battery and charger are not included, yet opening it revealed both an 8.4v 1100 mAh battery, including two metal h-cap M4/M16 mags.

I just got this gun shipped yesterday and haven't used it too much, but right out of the box I get issues with the adjustable stock. It wobbled in every position I put it in, the worst being when it was fully extended. I "fixed" this after pulling the adjustable portion out and then reinserting it, but all that did was lock it up in the fully extended mode and prohibited any adjustment entirely. Jostling it about some more free'd it, but the original problem was and is still present.

The second issue I ran into was after inserting one of the high-caps that came with the gun, and one of the 6mmProShop mid-caps I purchased separately, both of them had considerable play in the mag well, especially the mid-caps. I then gave them both a shooting test and neither could last even a modicum of firing before failing to feed. The only way I could get it to consistently work is if I pressed and held the mag up into the well.

I am find these issues far too problematic to warrant any positive comments, as they have all been repeated fifty times by everyone else that actually got what they paid for anyway. But of course all these bunk reviews from a year ago are still up and are still inflating this gun's reputation. I don't know what SCAR is being shown in the Evike video on the products page, but it most certainly is not the one I received.

"Horrible gun in my opinion, I've had this gun for about a year and a half and I hate it, save your money! get a vfc scar

"This gun is a huge pile of bogus. See all the 5 star reviews? Look at the times on them. All within minutes of each other. Seems a little fishy to me. I ordered one, and it arrived broken. I got another one, and that had the same exact issue as well. DO NOT BUY!!!

"Does this gun fit 9.6 V battery?? Can someone who has this gun or knows someone who does answer please *bad rep cuz i dont have*...
