IKAZUCHI Type-0 Mid-Range Battle Rifle Airsoft AEG (Package: Advanced Player)

"If you can appreciate the goofy sci-fi looks, you'll love this rifle. Out of the box the Dragon is a lightweight compact short barreled M4 with weird yet comfy furniture. The main con of the STAR Dragon is the cramped battery space, however that can be fixed. I cut down a RIS rail, drilled two holes in the front left side of the body kit (heh), mounted the RIS rail (used blue threadlocker too) & then attached a battery PEQ box. Drilled a hole and fed the battery wire through & upgraded to deans connectors. Now I'm hooked up with a Titan power 6000 MaH 7.4. With stuff like this, there's no problems, only solutions. I carefully dremeled off some of the body kit so I could mount a small light & carry handle rail/red dot. Pulled the stock off so I could flip the sling mount and put a Blackhawk one point on it. Finished off my meddling by threading on an amp. Make your tools work for you.

The Dragon shoots nicely, around 350-375 and has a solid ROF. Pretty much a mid-range V2 airsoft AEG. It's not a Krytac but certainly not a LPAEG. It's compact enough to be used in CQB but has enough range for outdoor play. The dragon is light enough that you won't be fatigued from carrying it all day. You can quickly switch to a sidearm or grenade because the STAR dragon is small & doesn't get snagged on gear/bunkers/branches. The short mag I got didn't feed too well, however I have tons of M4 mags and just use those instead. I love how people are either amazed or disgusted when I pull out the STAR Dragon from my gun case. I enjoy it all, the bants at the fields are sometimes more memorable then the games. The only other time I've seen a STAR Dragon at a field is in a random glass case in Project N1 near the VIP room. This rifle is weird, cheap & fun to use, definitely recommend. You can be unique yet use common M4 mags & V2 gearbox parts.

"What an amazing rifle this is!

To start let's get the one issue I have with it out of the way: I don't like how high the cheek rest is. It is so high that it is hard to use the iron sights, impossible to use them if you are wearing a wire mesh mask.

Now for the good:
It is accurate! I use this gun as a small simi auto sniper for mid to long range engagements (50-110 yards)
The hop up is a little too strong for .25s but it works great with .36s - .40s so the ammo is a bit more pricey, but that didn't bother me much since that weight range is what I buy most of my bbs in.
It's really cool looking!!! Constantly get complements on it. And it looks even better with a tracer unit and some glow bbs.
The internals are good and don't even need to be upgraded for the standard airsofters and with the low price of this gun compared to others of the same performance, I highly recommend getting this for a first gun, or second, or third, or just to have it.

10/10 probably going to buy a second one.

"How often do you have to feed this thin?

Can I put it in the same aquarium with my other fish??

"Amazing gun. works great. looks great. feels great. the only problem is that getting the battery in place is a pain in the neck.

"You're getting a steal for this rifle! The Ikazuchi STAR is a rather remarkable piece in its power packed into such a small package. With the included battery and .20 gram bbs it was pushing 370 FPS stock, which is too hot for most indoor CQB fields. The trigger has a nice pull and is quick to respond and fire thanks to the pre upgraded motor, gearbox, and spring.
The body of the rifle has had mixed reviews and complaints, some being that there's rubber on the pistol grip, integrated foregrip, and the cheek rest on the stock. Mine does not have rubber on the foregrip or the cheek rest. The grip however is excellent for right handed shooters. Lefties may want to look into another grip to swap out for.
More about the body; everything that's not rubber is plastic for the shell. It's not a flimsy plastic but I have started to scratch the paint off of certain parts, which isn't too big of an issue as it adds to character in my opinion. However it's very well built and secured nicely to the base M4.
Speaking of M4 that is what this rifle is: a M4. Taking off the cosmetic kit reveals a full metal upper receiver, buffer tube, outer barrel, and a very sturdy polymer lower receiver. The trigger is metal but your fire selector is plastic, and a little too loose and long for comfort. It's a little too easy to put your selector between settings and jam your gun. But that's an easy fix once you open up the actual gun.
The overall feel of the gun is great. The pistol grip is very comfortable for right handed shooters and gives you a better grip. The foregrip has a few options on how to hold it, shooter's fancy. The weight is evenly spread through the main body, but leaves the stock a little light. This makes it easy to lift with one hand and shoot however.
My final thoughts and comments: A very interesting rifle that's sure to get noticed where you go and doesn't skimp on performance either, both for an amazing price.

tl;dr It's good. Buy it.

"Let me start off by saying this gun is amazing.
Pros:
It looks awesome. Everytime i go to my local field everyone just stares at it and tells me it looks sick. In a good way.
Pretty sturdy. Even though it has a plastic molding on it.
Decent fps for smg. About 350 fps with .20 gram
Compact design.
Tightbore barrel.
Threaded barrel.
Nice integrated for grip.
Nice pistol grip. Its texturized and feels good.

Cons:
Litlte rail space. Barely fit a bipod on it. Now have an offset flashight which also barely fits.
Front wired. Dont have a lot of battery space. I recommend 8.4 volt batteries. 9.6 volt batteries have to be shoved into battery compartment
Dont know how to take apart to get to internals. Hope someone might make youtube video on how to do it.

Overall this gun is a beast. Hasn't let me down yet. Definitely would recommend this to any airsofter.

"This gun for the price is amazing. Out of the box it shoots straight and fast. I was using an Echo1 AK but I switched to this because I think it's a better gun. It's small and lightweight. The fore grip is well located and works well for sighting enemies. I'm in the process of making this a DMR and I'm hoping it works out well. I love this gun.

"this is most awesome gun i have ever had i love this gun its small so i can hid pretty well i have had it for a year and a half its the most amazing gun ever

"I have had this gun for three and a half years, and it is glorious. I have screwed this gun up in every way possible. I have played with it in three different fields, in the rain, and even painted it. When I painted it I didn't even take off the externals. That's how air tight this gun is. The gears are still good and I jus can't think of the words to say how much I love it. The only thing that has gone wrong is after about two years of play the stock starts to wobble, the fps drops (when I got it it chrono'd at 380), and sometimes on semi the trigger jams and you have to fire it on full auto a few shots and then you can put it back on semi and it works fine.

Pros
~good fps 380
~AMAZING LOOKING
~durable
~long lasting (must emphasize durable)
Cons
~After a LONG time the stock starts to wobble
~After a LONG time the fps drops (this was also after I painted it)
~battery hard to get in at first

I have to emphasize how durable it is. This was my first A.E.G. so I didn't know how well to treat and A.E.G. so I never oil'd it, never replaced ANY internals or other work on it. After four years of this it still works amazingly.

"one of my best AEG in my inventory. ive had this gun for over 2 years and i have only had minor normal maintenance problems "jamming due to dirt" all that jazz. for the price of this gun compared to some other guns of = or greater price, is a very competitive with its capability, using a lipo is highly recommended just be sure it fits.

pros.
good ROF
range and accurace for cqb type setting
built in grips "forward grip & pistol grip" have great feel and are made of durable rubber

cons.
can only fit small type battery
shell is plastic

"FANTASTIC!

I've had mine for a while, painted and modified now. It has taken a beating and is still working great. Bought an 11.1v 1300mah battery and put deans connectors on and am satisfied. My next upgrade is to a systema gearbox with a m125 spring and the systema a to z motor... I will reveiw again after I'm done :)

Overall... GREAT BUY!

"This was my first ever (non cheap\working) airsoft gun. and it has never given me any problems and is absolutely amazing. Ive had it for about 2 years and it still shoots 270-285, with dead accuracy. If you put a scope on this, even with its moderately short barrel it will pown. the bbs dont spread they shoot consistantly straight and far.

Pros:
perfect speed for battles
perfect accuracy
good ROF...L...hehe
very durable

cons:
really REALLY hard to change batteries (it still takes me 20 minutes to change) -_-
no ris if you buy the less expensive one (you can buy one for 10 bucks) but it still only fits one
the plastic looking externals makes noobs think your one of them (but those who know its power will flee)

"I've had this gun for about 2 years but only played with it about 6 times due to the fact that it shoot's to hard for CQB. But I got the lipoly battery with and and I haven't had any problems with it what so ever. I highly recommend getting this gun. I have more range than any other AEG that my friends have and the rate of fire is amazing with the lipoly.

"Great Gun!! I've had mine for over a year now and still kicking hard.

I am now looking to get a longer barrel and a Barrel extender but not sure what to get. Any Ideas anyone?

"this gun is amazing
or at least for a while
one day it just stopped working
so i took it apart and i just cant get the stock off
can someone tell me how
but i give this gun a 5/5
