EMG Sharps Bros Licensed "Jack" Takedown Model M4 Airsoft AEG Rifle w/ Quick-Detach Barrel and Handguard

"Awesome gun. Good fps and rof. Super snappy trigger. Another pro is I got Serial #0001, so a cool flex. Good mid-tier over all.

"Received this aeg in the fathers day box of awesomeness. The weight is surprising for being a compact polymer bodied gun, and it doesn't have any annoying creaking. The brace is ok, not a fan of them personally. It looks cool at least. The mags work well and feed great without any issues, and the hop up works great as well. The rate of fire is lack luster with a 7.4, but goes up to around 16 rps with an 11.1. The trigger feels really crisp with either types, but most likely going to stick with the 11.1 since it handles it great. The accuracy surprised me, straight out of the box it's able to hit a man size target a little over 100 ft away consistently, although the bb's seem to fly much further than that. The groupings seem to disappear shortly after 100 ft, but much better than I expected from a takedown style hop up. Flat hopping it is honestly the only change I feel like making to this in the foreseeable future. It doesn't come with iron sights, so make sure you have an optic or spare sights if that matters. Full disclosure, my first jack takedown did have to get sent back as the bucking was defective out of the box, causing complete failure to feed. Evike is amazing though!!! They made it right, and repaired it free of charge.

Pros
-takes the kwa mid caps I already have
-comes with two nice 130 rd mid caps
-nice trigger response
-takedown feature makes it incredibly small for storage (gimmicky, but could be useful)
-no chrono, but appears to be shooting the advertised fps and rps
-receiver is very high quality polymer, somewhat making up for not being metal
-comfortable grip
-decent rof with 11.1, good trigger response
-sturdy with no wobble on everything except stock brace, very mild on that
-Evike customer service really comes through (first one was defective, i emailed them so they took it back and fixed it free of charge!)

Cons
-cannot fire with stock folded
-fire rate was pretty bad with a 7.4 titan (about 8-9 rps)
-E.F.C.S. programmer is pretty pricey and sold separate.

Overall, the pros do far outweigh the cons. I'm also super happy with evikes customer support, so don't feel the need to write a poor review on this gun since they repaired it free of charge.

"Got one out of a BOA, and it’s a decent close quarters rifle. Unless you are really worried about hoe much space this will take up, the break down ability is pointless. There are definitely better guns to buy for the price. The internals are good, so I’m going to rank it a decent gun.

"I got this in the memorial day mystery box for 2023. So one this that frustrated me was that their are no instruction on how to attach the barrel assembly to the receiver. Literally no instruction; their was a card in the box that says "scan for instruction" and so I scan the QR code, guess what? It takes you only to the main page of the website; no instructions. So I just keept playing with it till I figured it out.

So incase you are wondering how to put the barrel assembly together with the receiver:
Match the three prongs on the inside/ backside of the barrel with the three holes you see on the front of the receiver (when looking at the barrel assembly it should look like an upside down T). Push the two together and slightly wiggle it back and forth to seat the assembly all the way into the receiver, then twist clock wise till it clicks. If you cant twist it clockwise, you don't have it in all the way; mine had to be very precise on how it fully sits into the receiver. The disconnect lever will be sitting at the top and is very easy to remove.

So other than no instruction. This is a real nice package.
Everything feels great about this gun. Everything is tight, looks very realistic, love the pistol grip, hand rail is smooth and pleasant to hold.
Comes with two midcap mags that are not cheap looking and will last a while.
The compactness of this gun is impressive. Very convenient to store, easy to assemble once you get some practice; and again it feels like a tight fit and so I feel confident to run it hard and fast.
I did not chrono it but when shooting it in my back yard it seemed pretty accurate, like if I see the coyotes come to hunt my chickens I can easily light them up and send them home. It does shoot a little slow for my taste but its not a deal breaker.

My only complaint is that the programable EFCS trigger cannot be programed without the programmer which is sold separately. So be ready to spend an extra 60 bucks to have one for yourself; or maybe you got a "gun smith" at your range that can do it for you for a couple bucks, but then that removes your ability to have the convenience to switch the voltage and firing modes of your gun when you got different restrictions in different ranges. So eventually you will but the programmer eventually but I wish it wasn't so expensive.

Overall great gun, feels great. If you don't want this as your main gun it will be a very good backup gun.
