EMG CGS Series Daniel Defense Licensed DDM4 RIII Series Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifles by CYMA (Model: MK18 RIII / Black)

"Just bought mines, can't wait to get it, so I can fully kit it out

"This gun, hands on feels amazing, sounds nice, and shoots just right, id recommend getting one, I had already kitted mine out, and do not regret buying this gun at all!

1st thing it comes with in box are the following!
Gun will be wrapped in plastic, you get 1 gas mag, 1 m4 mag speed loader, which is very handy, and of course a card of authenticity from Daniel Defense, which will include the number to your gun, this also includes the jamming rod of course!

2nd I am new to GBBR well not entirely but incase y’all wonder the hop up will be hidden inside the gun, to locate it, you have to pull the charge handle back and you will see a flat head, that will be your hop up adjustment! So make sure you turn on your hop up before shooting, unless you want bbs to roll out of the gun, because you didn’t do it.

3rd pros and cons

Pros
Quality is amazing
Sounds amazing
Shoots like a laser
You can shoot at least 2-3 times before gas runs out
Easy to fill gas into the mag (has a little piece you can take out if you want to refil faster on the field)
T8 System is nice!
Guns well lubricated!
Light weight!

Cons
Not made for beginners (unless your a quick learner!)
Hop up adjustment (not really a con but a little bit of a hassle to get it right .20g bbs didn’t work out for me so I used .25g bbs and works like a charm)

"This is my 3rd CGS Rifle. I picked up the MK18 RIII flat dark earth this go around. The paint is darker than the pictures almost the color of coffee grinds. My trigger came with a crazy almost nonexistence reset. It felt like I was shooting a hi-capa. I really like the EMG x CGS series, and it helped ween me from GHK. Everything about these line of rifles are in my opinion solid guns. Not knowing anything about this system I found out also that it was easy to work on with plenty replacement parts. I will say that my hop up was not set so you might have to do that OTB. You can also add more weight easily to the buffer. I'm currently running 100 grams in mine and it kicks like Cobra Kai.

Warning: The PDW and new Noveske models flash hiders cant be removed because of a blind roll pin.
This is truly my only complaint.

"I’m somewhat new to airsoft / milsim but recently got into it with my two sons (11 and 15) and wanted something moderately realistic so I could learn the more tactical side of wielding something in the AR platform.

It took some time to find an Allen key that would fit the retaining but in the flash hider but it was easy to remove once I found the proper size. Also, my gun severely needed to be oiled when I got it, as the bolt carrier would get stuck occasionally and Inwas experiencing some feeding issues. Some oil and hop up adjustment fixed those issues and I’m overall very happy with the gun.

My only complaint is that the muzzle velocity is somewhat in an awkward range- it’s nearly low enough that I can take the M4A1 into indoor CQB places (sometimes it passes crono for 350 w/ 0.25 and sometimes it’s just over) but it’s a tad weak to use as a DMR. Otherwise, this is my new favorite airsoft rifle alongside my KWA F90.

"Super high quality and a lot of fun definitely worth the money if u have the money

"Gun Reliability is not great especially for the hefty price tag. This rifle worked fine when I used it at 2 weekend skirmishes. On the third skirmish my Hop Up hand snapped off which caused me to play the rest of the day with no Hop. The bb's kept lobbing downwards to a point that I had to raise the rifle insanely high up in order to hit a player. However, Part availability is close to none on this site and other sites. None of the parts that I recently bought on this site worked. Some of the Items that I bought from this site consisted of
(CYMA CGS T8 Steel Hop-Up Chamber Set for Tokyo Marui MWS Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifles)
(Laylax Strike Hop-Up Arm for Tokyo Marui MWS M4 Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifles)
(DYTAC Hop-Up Adjuster Set for Tokyo Marui M4 MWS Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifles)

This rifle feels, look and shot amazing. I'd recommend getting one but only if they have a variety of compatible parts on this site or other sites. But for now my rifle is just collecting dust.
