ASG Sportline FLCN 5.56 Airsoft AEG Rifle

"Got this gun because I am planning to buy the real steel PSA jakl and this is the closest airsoft representation. Here is a detailed review with every question I would want answered.

Pros:
-Customizable mosfet allows for different fire modes, different burst settings, binary, etc.
-Auto shut off after 30 minutes, unplug and plug back in battery to start up again.
-Reptilian texture grip is great for players with sweaty hands and wet environments.
-Very lightweight and durable polymer design allows for longer duration games
-Gearbox shreds as the other review said
-Shoots 370 fps outta the box with .20s
-Very good range for the short barrel
-Good fire rate with 11.1v lipo
-Very skirmishable ootb
-Plastic does not bend or wobble.
-Feels very sturdy and nothing is wobbling.
-6 position stock with enough space for a stick type lipo, feels sturdy and doesnt bend.
-Easy to take down and put back together. Just need hex keys and torx bits.

Cons:
-Lesser known gun, so there is not very much aftermarket support. But gearbox, hop up, barrel, motor, etc is all marui compatible.
-Hop up is a bit iffy starting out. Replace immediately. Replaced mine with a spare from vfc and a prometheus tightbore barrel.
-Barrel and handguard are really short. Great for CQB but if you want to make a 14.5" carbine length gun I recommend getting a laylax 5" outer barrel extension. The outer barrel IS NOT M4 COMPATIBLE. 14mm thread barrel extensions are the best bet. The barrel is screwed into the gas block that seems to be proprietary. Also has a few holes drilled in the underside to hold the barrel in place with the solid plate at the end of the handguard. Could def buy a new carbine style upper, but that defeats the purpose of buying this particular monolithic upper and side charging replica.

Summary:
If you're like me and want a gun that is different from everybody else's m4 or ak, and are a sucker for side-charging weapons, this one is for you. Sure you could always buy a scar or masada but if you're reading this you want that perfect blend of acr and m4 like what the psa jakl offers. This is her. I forgot to mention, that the quick change spring is extremely easy to access due to the folding stock and lack of buffer tube. The wire is also very durable and coated well so if you're worried about it pinching or being damaged due to folding, don't be. I have stress tested it. However there is not a catch for the stock on the side so don't plan on running folded. If you play long-term outdoors and want a durable, lightweight workhorse, this is your gun. It is super fun to use and everyone I play with wanted to hold it. Some said it is far better than the KWA eve 4 which is a popular choice at my field. More than likely this is the best bang-for-your-buck airsoft replica I have ever owned. I have CYMA platinums, HK416a5s by vfc, and I have used many Specna m4s and even krytacs. But this gun is my workhorse and I love it. Just remember to buy a new hop up unit, bucking, and nub with it. That is my only complaint. But those are cheap and at the end of the day you'll still be under $350.

Final Thoughts:
-Buy it.

"So i bought this rifle to take to a Milsim, out the box the hopup bucking was too stiff. I replaced the bucking and hopup chamber and this thing is a laser beam at 200 ft, which is super impressive given its barrel length. Where this replica truly shines is the Falcon Gearbox. This thing RIPS out the box gearbox, trigger response, and motor wise. You get about 25 rps with an 11.1v lipo battery. The gun is totally worth the money and on top of it all, it looks sweet and takes design ques from the real steel PSA JAKL and ACR. It feels great in the hands and besides the bucking, this gun shreds out the box
