EMG x ICS CXP-TOMAHAWK Bolt Action Sniper Rifles (Color: Black / Rifle Only)

"This thing is the definition of SMOOTH. From the bolt to the safety, through and through, godly. It deserves its price.

"To keep it brief:
Pros
- accurate
-has a 14mm negative thread under the orange tip for a suppressor
- great design
-easy to pull apart for doing maintenance or upgrades

Cons
-heavy
- mags dont feed very well, kept pinching bbs against the end of the feed preventing them from falling into the hopup unit
- mags spring is very light and easy to knock your mags out of your rifle
-mag well takes some getting use to for loading, it doesnt just clip in
- no aftermarket mags and very little aftermarket mod support at time of review
- spring rattles against the spring guide, very noisy, easily fixed.
- very pricey

It's a very good thing i got this as a project rifle to do some aesthetic changes to it, however, for the price of almost $500 i'd expect a bit more refinement on the final product, and a carry case would've been nice. I do like that the orange barrel tip did have a 14mm negative thread on there allowing me to put my suppressor on there before i went to the field to play. now the hopup unit was an aluminum anodized red finish that i couldn't dial in at home due to range constraints, but i would've just been fine with the tdc that it has rather than adding left and right adjusts as well. The mags didn't want to feed whether by design or other reasons. i had to tap quite hard on the top of the mag while it was in the magwell to get the bb's to feed in between every 3+ shots as theirs enough room between the mag and the chamber for 2 extra bb's. since this was riding the line on fps, thankfully i was able to use it, however, i would like a slightly lower power spring if possible. Unable to get extra mags is also a bit concerning as 50 shots is usually plenty, however i would like to not have to carry a noisy speed loader if possible. the only after market part i put into this was the hopup nub as i dont think putting a metal on in was the ideal on this rifle.
Overall, i don't recommend this for those that want this for performance sake, you are better off with something else that has consistancy with both mags and aftermarket support that won't break the bank.

"For the price that I paid I expected a little more for it performance wise. I had no stop feeding issues and the magazine needs a stiffer spring for the mag release. It kept falling off every time I moved to a new spot.

It worked fine when it actually worked. I would recommend as long as the fix these issues.
