CSI S.T.A.R. XR-5 Advanced Battle Rifle (Color: Black / Type A)

"Well first off I like the look of this gun and it's performance was decent but that's where it ends the problem is with the o ring's the bucking and hop up if you load a mag to hard or use a mag that won't fit properly it will break the seal between the hop up and the cylinder and that o ring is paper thin and cheep as with the bucking tore a hole in it with just adjusting the hop up. If they had quality seals and a little better bucking on this it would be a pretty decent starting gun even with all the plastic. Note this gun is not meant to be taken apart easily if you want to change the seals and hop up bucking it's a lot of work overall you would be better off getting a better quality gun even though its performance is decent it will wear down quick like a few games unless you baby mag changes or hop up adjustments. So if you don't mind taking this thing down to the gearbox to fix those issues have at it. I really hope this company can fix those problems because I would like to see what else they can come up with the look of this gun is what got me and the price tag I wouldn't mind paying a little extra to have just a little bit better quality seals.

"Stopped working the first day. Fired about 200 rounds through it. Thought the battery died, so I replaced it, and the gun still didn't work.

"BUYER BEWARE!! i won this gun in a raffle at a Fallout Airsoft LARP event, cool right? brand new gun for free, i wasnt complaining. doesnt come with a battery so he included a brand new JG 8.6v brick. the gun runs great on my 9.6 valken butterfly, the range was great. WAS, until the hop-up unit they put in the gun decided to go kerputz and break. so no accuracy now, before that the MAG broke. Evike why dont you sell these mags? i can find them on Ebay though at least. but NOW for the pros/cons.

PROS

Bulky as 10 pound infant. this gun has some serious weight to it, almost outweights my krytac trident.
Nice futuristic look and feel. the polymer on this is STURDY.
the included mag is only a 220 rd high capa, but it takes m4 mags with a little fiddling with the receiver.
the range on this gun is actually suprisingly good for a $109 gun. give or take 120ft of accuracy.

CONS!
the hopup unit AND the original mag broke after only 5 hours of gameplay (no i did not drop it or bump it. i was EXTREMELY careful with this gun.)
can be tiring to walk around with, none of my slings worked on this, (1 point OR 2 point)
The stock of the gun feels the cheapest to me really stiff to move it.

overall due to the fact it BROKE after 5 HOURS of play is unnaceptable, the event host is gonna send me a new gun in place of this one. this gun was really great while it worked, seeing as it takes M4 mags it may take M4 internals as well, if that is the case i plan on swapping Valken internals into it (probably 50 percent better than the STOCK parts) but if your buying this gun to go use ALL the time, look elsewhere. 5 hours of gameplay and the mag broke (will NOT wind BBs up into the feed tube from the reserve) and the hop up adjustment did nothing at all after only about 1000 rounds through it. i expected better in all honestly. severely dissapointed if i could give it a half point i would 0.5/5 AVOID AT ALL COSTS
