"Had this gun for 4 years the battery connector was weird I changed it and it worked fine. It shoots around 380 with .20s I added a 10 inch barrel for extra range and it works beautifully I love this gun and will use it till I cant anymore.

"I've had this gun for 3 years, and I've loved every minute of it, its always shot incredibly accurate even with measly .20's, for how much it is, it delivers so much value, 10/10 beginner gun

"First game, I installed a Prometheus Purple. Red dot sight. I used .28g Elite Force Milsim bbs. These are the only mods.
WOW.
Easily hitting 120 feet, accurate. No problems. Because of the small size, I was able to transition quickly from an indoor style field (capture the castle, I got 40 kills, 2 deaths), to a woodsball game deep in the Oregon forest where I was able to ambush 2-3 people at once, being able to rapidly transition to new targets due to its TINY size and weight. Carrying this little beast around all day, for an 8 hour game, was one of the only times I left a long day feeling... well, not exhausted.
The only Con I see is: it's STUPID LOUD. Easily the loudest airsoft gun I've ever owned. So, I'm gonna flip this on its head and make that a strength, and install an amplifier to make it terrifying to be on the wrong end of.

"i won this in the boa like the other guy and this gun is amazing with a qc spring, built in mosfet works good with a 9.6 but I'm upgrading to a 7.4. the only con is the folding stock doesn't lock in place but it states there with no problems

"I've had this gun for over a year and really enjoyed it.
Good stuff:
The externals are of a good plastic/polymer. Ares tinkered with the original M4 receiver and flared out the magwell and strengthen other spots. The trigger guard is built in but it is enlarged for gloves. The motor grip has more material behind it and that gives a better grip for me. The edges of it are smoothed so your middle finger will not get scratched like a standard M4 grip would. The folding stock is strong and similar to a M4A1 stock in the 5th position. The mosfet does not complicate opening the gear box besides adding four extra small screws. The trigger pull is nice and there is a good click when you hit the button. Stock performance was more than acceptable. The drum hop unit allows for precision that won't move. The sling point is nice and thick.
Not good stuff:
My mag catch was cut weirdly and hung in to far, making mag changes difficult. That got replaced. The two tabs that keep the battery cap/ front sight on can brake if you force the cap on with out holding the buttons down. if you get a lipo be careful of the size. if its two wide it will not. I have a 7.4 that is 168x12x18mm that fits. After a long time the screw holding the pinon gear fell out. Luckily the mosfet stopped the gun from continuing to fire or there would have been damage. My outer barrel was assembled crookedly and I had to correct that. The plastic hinge of the stock wears and it becomes wiggly up and down, when locked after a time. The stock bucking worked but it was thin and the inner barrel hop up window was thin and cut into the mound of the bucking. Decent barrel quality besides that. cylinder head was not decent.
Misc. stuff: Mine came with a flash hider replacement that was CW. I got mine a year ago so I do not know if they still include one. You can pull the fake bolt back without pulling the charging handle. That could help with adjusting it I guess. I fixed the stock wobble by taping a piece of an index card to the inside. If you are going to disassemble the gun, unscrew the stock before trying to take apart the uppers. That affects them for some reason.
Mods: If you want more fps, install this cylinder http://www.evike.com/products/25872/. I got a 60 fps bump from it. Any other compression improvements are also recommended for fps increase before going for the spring.

"Got this from a Box Of Awesome and its an amazing gun. Loud as sin, decent rate of fire and shooting 297 +/- 3 FPS with Evike brand .2s. Very accurate too, with general agreement at the field that it has an effective range of ~135 feet stock
Pros:
Build in MOSFET makes it safer to run a 11.1V out the box.
Small size makes it great for run and gun matches or a side arm even. Some games I keep the stock on for primary use, other games I take it off for side arm purposes.
Loud as hell, so with quite a few players locally running plate carriers and having to hear the bb hit them to call their hits bulk of the time, it being loud grabs their attention towards it and they then determine if they were hit or just call out whether they were hit or not. Might not work for stealth set ups.
Very tough. I run it with One in the Chamber games and largely for laughs, will grab it by the stock locked back and wield it like an ax or mace. So while others either have to try and fix bayonets or do knife kills if they miss, I got a foot more of range in a smaller package to get a touch with.
Cons:
The riser is rounded. Perfect for NiCads and NiHm batteries, not for LiPos. A 7.4V 1400 mAH has to be squeezed in. An 11.1V 1300 mAH would require modifications to the riser or storing it outside the gun to work.
Loud as hell. I cant stealth at all if I run this. Its just as loud, if not slightly more so, than GBB pistols using propane.
Low FPS. Sure, its not an issue with me as I use it in close quarters but testing out the range, it is VERY easy to dodge the BB at 100 feet if one sees the round coming at them.

"The reason why I gave this gun one star is the 2 time I used it it broke. It was only the tappet plate but there are better guns you can get for 200 dallors
