APS XTP Shark Full Automatic Select-Fire Full Metal Co2 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol (Color: Two-Tone Black + Black Multicam / Standard Grip / CO2)

"Had this thing for a while but I'm just a collector so I have no experience with this in a game. I've heard that you can fit G-style mags into it but I don't have any so take their word for it.

Pros
-Full metal slide
-Full auto
-Good ergonomics
-CO2
-Separate selector switches (Pro for me)
-Anything that should be metal is metal
-Orange tip is easily removable
-Extra backstrap and replacement magazine o-ring
-Front sight is easy to see against rear sight
-Flared magwell

Cons
-Bad mag (Leaks, falls out when dry)
-The area where the hammer is recocked on the inside of the slide gets heavily worn
-Ambi-mag catch doesn't have enough surface on the mag to hold on to
-Sometimes won't feed

Not bad enough to complain about fully
-Slide works fine but doesn't move smoothly (catches on something)
-There is a switch on the hammer that locks up the gun and confused me for half an hour
-Needs an adapter for threads
-You can make the gun sticky for a bit (Remove mag, pull slide back, forward, back and hold, pull trigger, slide is stuck, push forward, back to normal)

My final statement, get it. Full auto is fun

"This gun is amazing! With both accuracy and range it makes for the perfect sidearm. Iv'e been going through several sidearms looking for the one that fits me and this is it! The only issue that I have had is with the mag that comes with the gun. It was probably just a dud but if you plan on getting this gun( which you should), then you should definitely buy an extra mag. It is an absolutely gorgeous gun and the only reason I give it 4 stars is because of the crap mag. If your even considering buying a C02 sidearm, get this!

"Overall I love this pistol, it's been nothing but reliable, the few times I have had issues I think it's been operator error more than anything. Everything about this pistol is solid. It's range isn't great compared to other pistols I've seen but it gets the job done for what I use it for. Giving it 4 starts, if I could give 4.5 I would.

Pros: great build quality, shoots straight, chrono'd right where it should have, probably one of the coolest looking pistols out there.

Cons: randomly dropped in price after I bought it from $185 to $135, keep it very well lubricated or else the blow back will catch and cause it to not fire.

"great side arm.... the full auto function is awesome!! and easy to get to, also has some great stippling on the grip my only CON for this gun is that with the CO2.. the kick from the blowback switches the pistol from semi to full auto sometimes when firing but other then that its a great pistol and loads of fun to shot. On top of the performance of this pistol another PRO is that you can adjust the pull on the trigger making it where you have almost no reset (or at least you don't feel it) which I think is pretty cool from a stock pistol.

"love this gun and is a straight shooter . the review I gave of the black hornet will pretty much cover this gun as well.
THE ONLY PROBLEM I had with this gun is the ambi. mag releases. I have medium size hands and as soon as I take a shot the ball of my left hand releases the mag.
Other than that I love it.
Pros. just about everything
cons. the ambi mag release '

"This gun is good and functions just like the black hornet with some minor diferences in design. I bought this pistol to be my new left hand sidearm because it features an ambidextrous mag release which works good. If you like the black hornet this pistol is for you. That being said if you already own a black hornet and have hard shell holsters for it they will not fit the shark variant. The shark is slightly wider since the safety was moved to both sides of the pistol. The pistol overall is great and can be a great primary for CQB. Also there is no threaded barrel and there are no dots on the rear sight.

"Only gave 4 stars so you can see this comment

Been waiting since September I bought a magazine and bbs for it early November only for them to move date AGAIN I don't get it, why do i need to wait so long for a gun that was supposed to be here MONTHS ago

"The pistol is a decent and cheap starter pistol, it's light weight, its got a decent amount of aftermarket parts to upgrade, and the full auto rps is really nice, but I ran into a few problems with it. Three days after I got the gun and the first time I'm shooting it, the inside of the slide chipped and the gun became unusable. i got it repaired, but during my first actual game, it started having feeding issues and the reciprocation of the slide became sluggish and by the end of the game unusable.

"It’s an okay gun. All of my clips leak co2, the slide is bad after one year of use. But it is a fun gun.

"Bought this gun a few months back as a pistol companion to my M4. Overall the gun has good accuracy. I take care of my things so I am disappointed because after only 3 months of use the (replacement) magazine falls out with every shot fired. The retainer clip is not large enough to hold such a heavy magazine (I am now on my second magazine). Overall Co2 usage is acceptable, you can get in 3 magazines full of bb's before co2 runs out - and you get a lot of exercise picking up the magazine after each shot : ) . The first time the original magazine fell out I was shooting out of my garage door (on cement door entry) and the clip and the Co2 cover broke after hitting the cement so I had to buy a new magazine. That was extremely frustrating. I now only shoot over the lawn. I would not buy this gun again only because of the magazine falling out. If the retainer clip were fixed I would rate this gun at five stars!

"I got this pistol in January or late February, and just recently ran into some problems. Aesthetically the pistol is great. I love the sight picture, and full auto is a sweet function for a GBB. The quality of this pistol is where I ran into problems.

Upon using my sidearm for the third or fourth time ever, some things started happening that I can't be too pleased with. The gun fell apart. I shot two bbs out of it,and the screw holding the assembly together in the back of the slide (i.e. the rear sight screw) flew out to some unbeknownst area, causing the fire selector switch to then tumble off of the gun, also getting lost. It wouldn't be so bad, except I now don't even have a functioning gun after only owning it for a month or so. Kind of disappointed in APS for as much as I spent. All in all, I wouldn't buy this gun for actual use in a game, it's more of a collector gun that looks good.

"Good quality metal no jams for bbs easy to clean and quality polymer.
thats were the good stuff ends
i also purchased 3 mags in the hopes from the reviews that they would work as purchased, unfornutaly all the mags leak which renders the gun unusable

then i sent it back for repairs, only 1 mag got fixed and the gun had a slide spring replaced for some reason. Now they all leak after a couple months of use and im trying to get a return for store funds.

"When I first got it the magazine broke in the first 20 rounds, but the customer service was really helpful with it and I was able to get it returned pretty fast so it would be a 5 star to the customer support and 2 stars for the gun

"Ive had this gun for a while now. It looks amazing! It looks so realistic. It feels great too. But here is the bad part-It leaks co2 like crazy. I thought I probably just got a messed up gun, but my friend bought it and his leaked worse than mine did. It may have just been the gun I got, but I doubt it. I would highly recommend you don't waste your time on this gun

"Accurate gun but not reliable at all. From the moment I picked it up there was a problem with a safety that I assume happened from getting knocked around in shipping but depending on which way you flick the gun or which orientation you hold it, the safety would engage on its own and you would be unable to shoot. I wish I would have gotten the gun replaced rather than returning it but if I were to keep it the safety would have to be removed. Not reliable at all. If it can't survive shipping how would it survive a good few years of field days
