Evike.com G&P Rapid Fire II Airsoft AEG Rifle w/ QD Barrel Extension (Package: Desert/Evike/V2 + Battery/Charger)

"Got this gun off a buy sell trade form. Used a 9.6v battery to chrono. Chroned in at 340 fps without barrel extension; which is perfect for indoor. Shot 380 with barrel extension; perfect for outdoor play. Small compact design makes it very efficient for indoor play. Full Metal construction, well built and durable. Feeds well and have had no problems in that department. Barrel extension is easy and quick to attach. l Has good range and rof. Had no problems while playing outdoor. Encountered one problem while playing indoor. The selector switch seemed to be kinda loose. While switching shoulders and going around corners I would brush against the switch and it would change to full or safe. Other than that, it's a great gun.
Pros:
Full Metal construction
Barrel extension, can switch for indoor/outdoor play in seconds
Lipo ready
Small compact design

Cons:
Selector switch easily switches firing modes

"I finally played my first match with this rifle, and I think its time to get a good review up. I ordered this rifle for CQB purposes. I play mostly outdoor, but recently have had the chance to play on a few CQB courses, and needed something to enable me to be proficient in close quarters conditions, but still have the ability to cross outdoors. Let me tell you, this gun is perfect if you are looking for something light, compact, and functional.

This rifle has a high rate of fire, and shoots pretty much spot on at 350 without the barrel extension (it does fire closer to 355-360 on average so strict courses won't allow the rifle). Because it is in such a small package with a shorter stock, and the shortened barrel, it completely negates all of my SMGs. Also, with the barrel extension this rifle consistently puts out 420 fps which makes it a viable option for outdoor play(perfect for combination courses). The barrel extension is very sturdy, and is really easy to put on and take off with a simple pull and twist. Over all I would recommend this rifle, and only have a couple of qualms about it.

Pros:
-Light (less than 10 lbs without the silencer, and just at 10.5 lbs with the silencer)
-compact (same size as my hk mp5)
-nice rail system, and it never feels cramped
-high rate of fire
-two FPS(the barrel extension is easy to use)
-feels solid
-lipo ready
-It's $250 right now

Cons:
-rail grip is not well made, get another unless you like the wobble
-short battery life(especially for a gun with no blowback)
-accuracy is mediocre
-the hop-up is annoying to adjust
-it was 279.99 2 weeks ago, 299.99 a week ago, and $250.00 today (I don't know what a good price is)

Overall I really recommend this rifle. It is great for a beginner and/or experience airsoft player. It leaves a lot of room for upgrades including internal parts as well as a metal body. Grab it while its good, and happy hunting!

"This gun is one of the nicest guns for around the 300 dollar range,and is probably one of the nicest gun i have ever held, its short CQB feel is just amazing. however it recommends a 7.4 small stick lipo battery with a {mini} deans connector. i made the mistake of buying a normal size dean connector which looks like it would still fit but unfortunately does not. to save your self a lot of time,money and stress i would just research and not make the same mistake i did. Also this gun does not require a lipo but since it has such a short barrel i recommend it completely.

pros:
amazing feel
light weight
super comfortable
cons: does not say on evike that it needs a mini deans connector
its short stock makes it some what hard to find the right battery but luckily evike has it.

"Have played a couple all day CQB matches with this gun now. I think the externals are incredibly well done. The rail system is short but very adequate and very well made. The gun has no wobbles or flex to speak of. Depending on what mags you end up getting (I picked up G&P high RPS mid caps) they might be a little sloppy in the mag well, I used postage stamp size electrical tape pieces and found 3 layers on each side and 4 on the rear spine made them fit perfectly. Now, the internals. Full metal hop up is nice. Inner barrel is pretty short though. The accuracy of this rifle is only so-so. It's not bad after getting the hop up adjusted but even using .25's I'm getting really large groups past 50ft. Accuracy in my CQB matches was really tough to deal with, as the sights on this are junk (front triangle sight moves on the outer barrel, rear sight wiggles even after I shimmed the gaps with thin foam.) This means unless you use a flashlight every shot to see your BB travel you have no idea where your shot placement is. For campers and peakers, getting a shot at 40-50ft accurately on the enemy has proven problematic in indoor light. I enjoy this rifle, but for $300 I didn't expect to have to have already replaced the hop up bucking, and next the inner barrel in order to get shots that fly straight over CQB distances. Gearbox seems pretty solid though, and overall it is a good platform for CQB with mods over stock components.

Pros:
Good weight, not too heavy or too light. Not delicate feeling.
Great externals
Lots and lots of external and internal upgrades as it is an M4 platform
G&P highspeed motor and gearbox are really solid
Looks and feels fantastic, lots of people were interested in it at the arena

Cons:
Accuracy is only so-so
Price is a little high
Must modify for consistent accuracy, but not bad OOB either though
Almost no information out there for this gun. Hard to find specs, barrel length for instance is 180mm not 195 as stated. Etc.

"Out of the box it is has a nice build as to be expected. Had to return due to a bad motor, but was replaced at no charge. Not impressed with the ROF.

"Just got this gun today! Looked great coming out of the box but learned quickly that the instruction manual was for a different gun, the blowback was broken, and the battery is hard to fit in the crane stock. Other than that it is cool. Bringing it into my local retail airsfot store tomorrow to get it fixed up, hopefully it works well then.

"As soon as I received this gun and opened the box the buffer tube was completely off. After setting up the gun I loaded it up and went to shoot it and the gears completely stripped. I thought it was the motor height because it sounded like it but after adjusting the gun would still not shoot. I could have gotten a bad egg who knows. I'm hoping to receive a replacement for this gun because I really do like it and want it to be my gun.

"Putting on the suppressor may increase the velocity... it also throws the BB's WAY off zero up and to the left... You should expect some POI/POA shift when removing or adding a barrel attachment, but not as crazy as I have experienced. Works great with the suppressor removed. Would do five stars as as CQB only rifle... but I bought this to use for outdoor matches for MilSims and with the suppressor on, it's unreliable at best.

"Well I was looking forward to receiving this one very much . It looks great and fires fast . Unfortunately, we got it and fired one magazine through it . Next mag , pulled trigger and nothing .
To evikes credit , they said send it back and they will fix it or refund it . I asked them to fix it , but they said they could not and gave me my money back . In short , the gun was a lemon, but the customer service was great and they took care of it .
