Tokyo Marui Colt Licensed Mk18 Mod.1 MWS ZET System Gas Blowback Rifle w/ Cerakote Firearm Finish

"I got this shipped and delivered within a 1.5 week period. I've had a great time dealing with customer support as I am a repeat customer - this rifle is one of the best I've had. The body feels amazing and both the weapon and magazine feel relatively realistic to the real thing. I'm yet to put it into action but just getting this thing set up and getting myself familiar with it there is minimal rattling and even the tracer unit i have was easy to install, you just need the right wrench. Highly recommend. These guys know what they're doing

"This was the first time I really understood the phrase "buy once cry once." I still haven't financially recovered from this but I do not care because this gun has been my go to for the past few months- above all of my AEGs. This was my first gas rifle and it was in stock at a local store (I did not buy it on Evike) and I finally decided to get it after a couple of weeks of consideration between this and VFC ARs. I do want to get a (probably several) VFC at some point, but for a newbie to GBBRs this thing has been absolutely perfect. I have had absolutely no issues with it at all. The only part change I did was the nozzle return spring to make sure it doesn't fail while using green gas. Otherwise mine is completely stock internally. Like I said, I've been using it for months at this point, and I even neglected to maintain it for a bit (oops) and it still ran without issue. I have since made sure to clean it, but either way this thing is insanely good and reliable (and definitely more fun than any of my AEGs).

Pros:
- Gas blowback (very fun)
- Really good gas efficiency (I mainly use Guns Modify PMAGs which I've heard lots of complaints about but so far mine have been totally fine and even better in some cases than the included TM STANAG (both work great though))
- Aftermarket support is vast
- The TM magic inside utilizes a system very different from that of an actual AR, but it also makes for an incredibly reliable and consistent airsoft firing mechanism
- The build quality is great. I'm not specifically sure what metals they use but I've heard that they're pot metal. But, unlike cheaply made pot metal guns, Tokyo Marui works around the materials they use to still provide a solid feeling rifle. I have dropped this thing and it it totally fine.

Neutral
- Can accept real stocks and grips, otherwise TM spec parts required without major modifications (this can be neutral or bad depending on your needs, but I've been able to get all the parts I want for mine without issue). And, to be clear, this refers to the basic parts of the gun itself, not rail-mounted attachments before anyone asks. Yes, you can put the world's worst red dot on this, but please don't.
- Slight receiver wobble. Neutral because it's a bit annoying if you really focus on it, but real ARs often have worse wobble so it's ultimately a non-issue.

Cons
- PRICE. You get what you pay for and this thing will probably outlast anyone reading this, but it is definitely a painful investment (at least until you get to shoot it, then you'll feel better). Though, with the parts required to make other GBBRs as reliable as this one is out of the box, the cost probably isn't too far off from any other GBBR.
- Realism. Again, this isn't strictly a huge deal, but if you're looking to get a gun that faithfully recreates the internals of a real AR, this is not that. The receivers split and you can remove the bolt carrier group and charging handle like on a real AR, but the actual firing mechanism is solely designed to be an efficient airsoft system. There is no visible hammer like on a real AR. Not a huge deal for me (especially since I do want to get a VFC at some point), but if that level of realism is important to you then I'd recommend going with a VFC AR.

Overall, this gun is insanely good. It'll hurt to buy it, but the second you get it in your hands will make you realize it was worth it. If you're looking at this, get it. It's worth every penny whether you're new to gas rifles or experienced with them.

"Took this to a Milsim event and performed exceptionally well out of the box all weekend long. Firearm finish is fantastic the rifle feels very solid and holds up very well. Added a few attachments to personalize it but other than that it was completely out of the box new. The bolt was even lubed well enough I didn’t have to apply any more. Fired around 500 rounds throughout the weekend and Accuracy was great with every shot. I had high expectations for this rifle especially with this price tag and Tokyo Marui definitely delivered. I am very happy with this weapon and would recommend it to anyone interested in a MK18 GBBR
