CYMA Sport SOCOM 16 M14 Full Size Airsoft AEG (Package: Black / Standard / Add Red Dot)

"Keep in mind that the grub screw holing the barrel cover on is ridiculously hard to remove. Other than that, make sure that your midcaps' feeding lip isn't too long, or it'll screw with its ability to feed. Previous issues aside, its a cool gun.

"I bought this gun a while back and I put it to the test. I unfortunately was also a victim of a broken bolt. Even though it is metal, it can't withstand the force. I wasn't too happy with that. But shooting it was always an encouragement. Very accurate and had pretty decent range. It is a little heavy. I am a 5' 9" guy with decent build. It wasn't too heavy for me but my 14 year old brother couldn't use it for long periods. Another problem I had was the battery compartment. It was not meant for the battery style that comes with it. The compartment literally expects you to strip all the wires to fit your battery inside, the rip all the wires out while trying to take out the battery. It is the WORST design I have ever seen. I had to MacGyver the wires multiple times due to damage from the small compartment.

Pros:
Comfortable
Accurate
Looks/Feels solid (Lots of metal and the polymer is great. I loved it)
Lasted me about 2 years without having to make internal repairs.

Cons:
Bolt broke rather quickly
Battery compartment is horrible. Makes little children cry at night.
Might be heavy depending on your size and build

For the price I got this at and how faithful it has been, I would definitely recommend it. A little tinkering and fixing never hurts anybody. This is one that will last and feels/looks fantastic. My friends actually found this one as their favorite gun of my collection.

"This rifle is superbly accurate provided you have .20 bbs and not .12. It's A great gun for a great price.

Pros:
It's extremely accurate with .20 bbs, shoots very straight
High accuracy
good range, easily out competes most AEGs
respectable rate of fire
fake wood looks realistic
a lot of metal parts
feels durable
a good weight to it
very good looking gun

Cons:
.12 are inaccurate and curve.
Ni-Cd Battery, I guess it brings down the price. Definitely suggest getting another battery.
The clip that comes with it misfeeds a lot. I did the Holy Cow special and got two high cap mags that are much better than what came with it.
Fake wood feels fake
Some plastic parts, only cosmetic pieces though.

Overall, great Designated Marksman Rifle for a pretty good price. It's basically a Sniper rifle that you can use Full auto for when your in a tight spot.

"Ok, so I got this gun maybe a month or so ago, and it's an awesome DMR. I thought the bolt (you can pull the bolt but it doesn't do anything, just springs forward) on it was really fun, but after i used it roughly 30 times, surely enough, the bolt broke on me. And, right before maybe my fourth war with it, my 400+ rd high cap mag broke as well. I was surprised because it fed real well and was full metal.

Pros:
Long ranged
Very accurate
Comfortable feel
Not too light and not too heavy

Cons:
Bolt broke right away
Mag broke right away
Battery compartment is a really tight fit
Only rail is too far forward (that could be just me, though because others who have used my gun liked the far forward rail)

Overall, its a nice gun, and it preforms pretty well for the price I paid

"i have had this gun for about 6 months give or take and i got to say it gets the job done. i can use it as a sniper or up in close combat. i have out sniped a couple of snipers on my team and i got to say that's pretty good. i have a utg 4x40 scope which is a great addition for snipers.

i got this gun shooting top...

FPS- 380
Range- 150-200 feet

all together a great gun if u want to be a sniper and also up close in battle a must buy

"Definately a good buy. This was my first airsoft gun i have used. although it is a little heavy, it really adds the realism. The gun shoots at an average rate of fire, but with extreme accuracy even at full. It leaves a good welt on the victim hit. It has the metal parts necessary and is very durable. The finish is very realistic

"The M14 is my favorite gun. Since this is my first electric aeg I'm very critical.I would be very thankful if anyone could help me.I received my order on
2/2/10
Pros
Full metal except for 2 or 3 cosmetic pieces including the stock
High fps
Great accuracy
Great range

Cons
When I got the gun it had alot of fingerprints on it. I've tried to remove them numerous times but they just won't come off.
I guess the rof should be pretty good but my mags must not have enough spring tension because they misfeed alot,even on single shot sometimes.Could someone give me a link for a better mag?

And for any new airsofters like me, don't make the mistake of reading the badly translated instruction manual given by AGM. I followed their instructions for charging the battery instead of reading the back of the pink sheet Evike gave me, and instead of charging the battery the Evike recomended 5 hours, I charged it 12 and the battery only lasted 10 minutes :( (I need a new battery and charger) MAN THAT WAS STUPID!!!!!!

Oh and the gun is kinda hard to take apart, but if you follow evikes guide it won't stear ya wrong


Over all, this is a great buy for airsoft pros but not that great for beginners.Although I do not regret my purchase

"Just what the description says, Great Range and Accuracy. Great feel in the hands with a diamond grided pattern in the front and trigger areas. Strong ABS plastic body. Shortness is GREAT and more ability to move but does not affect the guns accuracy with the shorter barrel compared to the long version. The hop-up acctually clicks and locks so no need to worrys about it moving. Distributed weight makes the rifle easy to keep up on target. Front top rail basically is tightened around the barrel. All around sturdy gun. Connectors for battery is small type. Only Cons is the Back where the battery goes, very small space with large battery is comes with. Better buy 9.6 small type Battery or could file down the plastic things stickin up in the inside (you'll understand when you see inside the back). Also there is no such thing as threading on the front, so no silencers or different flash hiders (Big con for me). Great Gun for the price. (Suggest getting a Mid-cap mag for complete stealth and nice feed)

PROS

Accurate
Far Range
Strong ABS Plastic Body
Grips
Hop-up locks
Weight
Shoots fairly quiet++

CONS

No threading on front barrel
Small back battery compartment
Magazine sometimes hard to put in if in a hurry. =]

"id go with the m120 spring upgrade. the m130 sucks for this gun it will break in a short period of time. id also reccomend getting the black m14 because my friend has this gun and the immitation wood feels really cheap. but the performance is great with or without an upgrade.

"the most this thing could do with an upgrade is MAYBE 410. overall a great m14

"Excellent aiming and sight adjustment capabilities. The biggest problem with this gun is the fact that it gives you an 8.4-NICAD battery and they are not as good as the 8.4 volt ni-mih The picture on the box looks just like the one I got, it even has the wear spots. The wear spots make it look cheep though. The overall finishing is down right horrible, but it still feels smooth, if they put a layer of polyurethane on it it would look real!! Anyway the fps is a solid 300 and sometimes a little higher, and the hop up is very adjustable, with this hop up you could possibly use .28 or .3 gram bb's. Surprisingly, this gun is very, very accurate. I put a scope on mine and I can hit a man sized object at about 132 feet!! It has the best range that I have ever seen on an air-soft gun, ever! I recommend getting a different. color if you get one, but in functionality the gun shoots great, great speed great accuracy and consistent power. (upgrade to a different battery and buy a scope, it will make you unbeatable).

"How on earth does this have such great reviews?

Out of the box this was hoping up straight to the left. Thankfully I will be able to curve BBs like that movie. Cover is no match for this!

A semi-complex disassembly coupled with the fact there were no directions on how to do so was not fun. I have the gearbox shimmed perfectly now, but have spent about 8 hours going through the hole process. Game day is tomorrow and I will not be able to use this yet.

Please, save the money for a higher tear rife.
