H&K G36C Competition Series Airsoft AEG Rifle by Umarex (Color: Black / Reload Package)

"I have this gun and I realy like it. It is perfect for C.Q.B. and has good range when you need it. Also, all the rails on it come in handy for sight, lights, and 203s. This is by far one of the best guns to get if you are just starting off.

"The gun overall works well and has good aesthetics. Lightweight gun considering most of the parts are plastic. Shoots .20g BBs well out of the box.

Haven’t tried to remove the orange tip, not sure if I will considering that I bought it for my 11 year old son.

The charger that comes in the box did catch a battery on fire while charging. It was a new hi-po matrix battery, so I have to assume the battery was good. There is also no mention of the charger in the description so just be cautious about using it.

"The gun itself is ok, the price is a little too high for the quality, but still acceptable.
The mag isn't really good though, mine fell on the ground once and broke comeplelty.
Overall I would say it's worth it to buy this

"I've owned this gun for about 2 years, and I have had soooo many problems with it. First off, the magazine is absolute poop. I had to completely take it apart and put it back together and replace a spring OUT OF THE BOX!! I fixed the magazine and didn't have any problems with it until my friend tried loading it with .12 g bbs. DONT USE .12g BBS!!! One nice point about the gun is that it is electric blowback so if your battery dies and you didn't bring a spare you can use it as a spring gun by using the charging handle. One bad thing is how easily it broke. About halfway through a game my battery died and I forgot to bring a spare, so I had to use the spring. It still shoots well, but it broke after very limited use. It shoots amazingly when it works. I love the folding stock and how light the gun is, but I am afraid of the stock breaking sometimes. The handguard also serves as the battery compartment which is great except for the limited space for a battery. It is also nice that you can easily change it out and get another size or color. Overall I would give it a 3.5 out of 5. Don't get me wrong! I love this gun! It just has some problems.

"I want to make clear that my review is based on EXTERNALS ONLY, as I did not even fire it since I wanted a better-built gun.

Overall the construction of the rifle wasn't right (ABS plastic?), and since I am looking for as much realism as possible, I went with a higher-grade model that hopefully has a higher grade polymer construction that is better and is the same/close as possible to the real thing (I have actually held a real g36c).

Other than the body, there were a couple of things externally that I really didn't care for:

1. Plastic charge handle that felt very flimsy. It's only a matter if time before that breaks.

2. No rubber butt pad on the stock. Once again, I am looking for as much authenticity as possible.

3. The outer barrel is plastic. Maybe that's no big deal, but I wonder how well that'll hold up.

4. The flash hider (plastic) didn't appear to be removable.

Otherwise the gun looked and felt fairly realistic.

I understand now that this gun is considered "entry-grade", so some of these complaints of mine on the externals are simply cost-saving methods used by the manufacture to keep the gun at a lower price...which might be no problem to you if you are not as concerned with authenticity and/or on a tight budget.

"when i first got this gun, i liked it. it didn't have a great rate of fire, and it only got worse. after about six months, the trigger response was almost four seconds and i had to pull almost to the point of snapping the trigger and the charging handle broke.


pros
good fps
light
accurate
good iron sights

cons
slow trigger response
wobbly
battery is a pain

overall, it's an ok starter gun. i would only recommend this if you have a starter budget of 150 and you only want a G36

"I bought this gun as my first AEG over a year ago. Just getting into the sport, I decided to buy a cheap gun to see if I would stay with it. This gun was exactly as described. Cheap. Externally, this gun isn't half bad. For the price, it's not absolutely terrible. However, if you want to actually get into airsoft, don't get this. For CQB, this is a good gun, however, if you plan on going to any field that is outdoor or engaging anyone over 50 feet, don't get this gun.

Pros:
Lightweight
For the material, it's sturdy
Does the job for the price
Personally, G36C's are my favorite style of rifle, so it looks cool
Shoots at a decent speed(Mine shot 320fps out of the box)

Cons:
Wiring is awful, my magazines dig into the wiring
Feeding problems
Battery compartment is way too small
Becomes useless on large fields or over 50ft
The gun decays quickly (FPS, RPS, etc.)

Overall, this gun is good for younger or newer players and those on CQB fields(I used mine on a 5000 square feet indoor field). This gun is not good for anyone above beginner level experience. I'd give this a 2.5/5.

"I've had this gun before; it broke on the first day of use. I didn't do anything extreme; or drop it; or abuse it. Just three games and then it just died. I don't know too much about airsoft gun internals, but I know they shouldn't sound like maracas when shook or shattered plastic smashing against another piece of plastic when you pull the trigger. Its a cheap, and pretty gun... But i wouldn't say reliable

Pros: Cheap, and pretty

Cons: Its as durable as a banana being used as a gold club
