"I love this gun! Not very powerful, but nice ROF, ok accuracy. Buitl very well. Seems like basically an AEP, but a really cool looking one!
by Ryan H. on 10/21/2008
"it shoots the same as the r4 a.k.a the mp7a1 ( i have it ) it is the same internals as the mp7 and the same hopup and barrel, same battery too. so it shoots the same 220-230 fps with about 15 rps. hope this helped.

"This gun is extremely good. If you are looking for a gun with high rate of fire this is you gun. I was at the store when they tested this thing for the first time and it was a ROF beast! With this low price i seriously suggest buying this gun.

"I would assume its a metal gear box, as the TM gun its based off of is. It being made by WELL is a little worrisome, but not too terribly much so. I would expect FPS to be somewhere between a mp5 and AEP, maybe about the same as a mp7.

"This is my first AEG(AEP)...gotta say I actually really LOVE it! Love how compact it is, more like a large pistol. Lower receiver is metal, upper isn't. The wire portion of the stock, that folds forward over the barrel is steel, the J-shaped portions that attach to lower receiver are not...
Out of the box: though it functioned correctly, it was unusable. The one-piece hop-arm-nub is over-sized at the nub, even with the hop "off" it was still very much "on", too much. Within 5' of leaving the barrel, the EMG .20bbs I was using, were zooming skyward. I had to remove inner barrel assembly and remove hop-arm-nub to file it down, removing roughly half of the nub. Now it works as it should.
The "high-cap" mag included is very a bad joke, needed to be rewound after every 5 shots. Turning a one-handed weapon into a very awkward two-hander. In fact, if I hadn't been able to find mid-caps elsewhere, I would've RMA'd it. The 38bb Well Vz-61 mid-caps (low-cap? LOL) I was able to find turned this into an absolute giggle-blaster! I don't understand why someone hasn't made longer, larger capacity mid-caps for this lil beast, they're VERY MUCH NEEDED! -I mean c'mon they have 100-120 mid-cap mags for the MP5...!!! -Yes, I also have the 370bb drum, still awkward. MID-CAPS ARE KING.
In summary: I think I need a second one...Its KLOBBERIN' TIME!

"So, I've had this gun for about 5 days, and I can say it's AMAZING. High rate of fire, good FPS, heavy and sturdy build. It weighs almost as much as it's real life counterpart. The mag it comes with is kinda bad, so get the drum mag with it. That's the only bad thing about it really.

"Box contents:
Airsoft Replica
Thread Adapter (For Tracer Units)
Stick Magazine
Manuel
AEP Battery
Charger
Small bag of .20g bbs
Rail Mount
Allen Key
Screw for Rail Mount
Also included in my order:
Thread Adapter
Stick Magazine x2
So looking at the description, I did not see anywhere that is says it comes with a thread adapter, as a result I ordered one for the intention of applying a tracer unit. I now have a spare, that I would not have ordered if I had known it came with one.
The orange tip was extremely well attached. I did the boiling water method to release the glue bond, which didn't really work, the trip cracked and broke apart. I had to disassemble the replica to avoid damaging the components further and it took a good 15 min to fully remove all of the orange tip with minimal scratches.
After attaching the thread adapter and tracer unit, it looks very awesome. Weight is fairly light and the feel of the replica is satisfying. Overall quality is much better than I expected for under $100.
Will probably buy again as a backup sidearm or just for the pleasure of dual wielding these in a CQB environment.

"Made solid, I like the metal parts and the small size. The folding stock is a bit more substantial then it's looks might indicate although too short to be very practical. The battery that comes with it is worthless, won't hold a charge, you will probably need another since I couldn't charge mine.
I got the silencer that is supposed to fit on it. I say "supposed to" since clearly that is what the maker intended - they even include the metal silencer adaptor part with the gun. But i ruined the upper trying to get the orange plastic out. it ought to unscrew, even the exploded drawing shows it that way, but it is in far too tight to remove. If you too want the silencer installed, and you are trying to remove the orange plastic, only try to remove with your hands and no tools! If it doesn't turn with modest effort, quit since if you go any further it will just break...
PROS
- reasonably priced
-metal lower and stock
- compact and looks cool
-the drum mag increases capacity and is cheap (although this gun doesn't come with one, only one stick mag)
Cons
-rate of fire is far too low.
-FPS too low - i know it's only a 4 inch barrel but still -
- you can't install the silencer adaptor without destroying the gun.
- Worthless OEM battery (but at least you get the charger)

"It is a very good airsoft gun for the price, though I do have a few issues.
For starters, the magazine it comes with doesn't feed very well, sometimes you will have to take it out and put it back in for it to work. No big issues though, I recommend getting a few extra mags, I purchased the drum mag by JG and it works perfectly.
Next, there are some sharp parts on the gun that are very irritating. For example, the trigger guard and right above the trigger. Another small issue, I just put a bit of electrical tape over it, and everything was fine.
Also, this gun has a very low RPM. Personally, I just shoot it for fun, but if you're a serious player doing CQB with this, it could bother you.
The manual also only has about 20% of the words in English, with some poor translations. It's no major issue either, there's diagrams and even a blow up view of all the parts at the end of it. The battery doesn't take long to charge, only an hour and 15 mins to an hour and 30 mins for me to fire off about 450 rounds.
Lastly for my issues, the battery included has a slow response time. Another small issue, but it could bother some people.
Other than those few things, I really do love this gun. It's very enjoyable to just shoot around at targets in your backyard, and could be a viable secondary if taken to a field. I recommend this to anyone getting into airsoft, it's a great, easy to use beginner gun.

"Great gun but the reason I am giving this a 4 stars is that you only get 15-20 rounds before you have to wind that stupid 80 rd mid cap. it is shit get a 370rd hi cap and it should work
by Jadeyn F. on 09/15/2017
"This gun is great for cqb, and the only downside is range. I have a mock suppressor that acts like a wind shield on mine that increases the accuracy about 10-20% which helps when im out at outdoor arenas.
by Akexander K. on 09/28/2015
"The gun worked like I should right out of the box! Just be careful with the folding stock, the sections connecting it to the swivel point may be a little weak and break like mine did.

"JG Scorpion R2 VZ61 best value on market for a CQB SMG.
warning read this about the charger! so many people ask this question.
(plug the charger in by itself = green light, means nothing charged or complete)
plug the battery in but put the unit upside down(so the battery is standing in the air) if you lay it flat it will tend to not charge. (LIKE YOU WOULD A GBB PISTOL MAGAZINE)
RED = charging, green = done. It will change green after 10-20 minutes if its laying flat because the battery disconnects oddly enough. I charge my battery 2-4 hours and it will turn from red to green which means it has finished charging (basic smart charger of some sort)
I have learned this the hard way when I took my battery out and it didnt work but 1 magazine.
Always, always put the battery in but flip it upside down so it presses into the battery charger. Laying it on the floor causes it to disconnect.
Pro's
shoots 265-275 out of the box
ROF seems good
awesome little gun for CQB fields or indoors
shoots up to 125 feet but recommend 75 to 100 feet
worth every penny
stock is used as a sling mount
lasted over 600 bb's (8 magazines+) on one battery
put a forward grip on this for easier handling they are like $15 here on evike (it's a must)
Instruction manual is in english
charger is 250MA, battery shouldnt be charged more than 4 hours.
battery is the green label JG OEM here on evike, not the yellow spare, thats for g18 TM pistols, they are different sizes.
Con's
selector switch feels like its going break when you turn it(someone give me an idea how to make it smooth?
stock sucks, only good for mounting sling and balancing the gun one handed.
but-plate falls off sometimes, recommend bright paracord with dental floss in the loops so if you drop it easily found.
Battery won't charge properly if laying flat, must be turned upside down like a GBB pistol magazine.
Recommend tips if you buy this, buy a spare battery(here on evike its the JG OEM battery only one fits it, other is for TM g18 the yellow kind) you want the green JG OEM), buy spare magazines. I want a drum but can't find one in stock, other than the TM which is $50! Do not buy the well-fire drum it states does not fit.
overall 8.5/10 or 3.8/5
would like to see a smart charger for this battery, or a better charger on the market. (EVIKE STOCK SOME CHARGERS PLEASE) I have only shot 900 or so bb's in this gun.
paid about $150 for 3 extra batteries, 4 magazines and this gun. A+

"This gun is defiantly worth it. 92$ for it and the drum-mag.
Pros.
comes with an american charger, battrie and 90 round high-cap mag
FULL METAL
very compact
easy access hop-up
mag feeds great after lubing the hopup area
cons.
hop-up MAY come half broken (easy fix)
stocks wably after allot of uses (but that's normal)
rail that's included is plastic
red tip gets torn apart wen u take it out, disasmebly is easy and while its apart so you can scrape the remainder of the tip out you can fix the hop-up
over all its a great compact gun and fixing the hop-up increases the fps by about 20. plus there's easy ways to fit a lipo in it if the 7.2 is cutting it for you.

"Out of the box this gun is a whole lot better than you would expect from an AEP. Its heavy first of all. Its snappy with the battery they give you. My least favorite thing about this gun is the battery. Its crap. A lipo conversion is totally necessary and not hard to do. There are vids of this on youtube. I did a lipo conversion, took off the buttstock, made the handgrip look like wood, put a reaps SMG bucking, 190mm 6.01mm pistol barrel in it with a silencer and attached a rail to the top of the body to attach sights and what not and i now use this weapon as a primary indoor and a back up to my sniper loadout. It is amazing! its 75 for the gun 11 for perfectly feeding midcaps 50 for the barrel, silencer, and bucking and u can get it all here. DO IT!
