EMG Daniel Defense Licensed DD MK18 MOD 1 B.R.S.S. Recoil EBB Airsoft AEG Rifle (Color: Black)

"I love this weapon. I've always loved the GBB theme (I have 3 GBB pistols) and I wanted a GBBR, but due to the weather in my country it could rarely be played, well, I constantly had to spend on Green Gas. And here I received EBB with recoil as in GBBR.A good plus is the licensed markings of Daniel Defense.
I hope that after a while,through recoil it will not damaged of the inside.

"Okay I just played with this gun and it’s pretty much a poor mans TM recoil shock. Note to self BUY 11.1v’s. /7.4v do not have enough power to power the gun. So ignore 7.4v works cause it doesn’t. It runs through battery life pretty quick and I only use semi. So two 11.1’s will last you enough through the day. Out of the box which is literally What I did . It shot @360fps with a 1.43 Jules. Rate of fire was around 19 on an 11.1. Great Gun especially accuracy was on point with .25’s. Battery space a little small so be careful with batteries choosing. Other wise it’s a great gun tbh.

"Overall I'm really pleased with the quality of the gun. There is a little bit of tolerance on some of the external parts, but I am used to this as this is the way of the older guns I'm used to.

Pros:
+ Gun feels sturdy
+ Built in sling mounts
+ Compatible with several brands of magazines with no feeding issues
+ Chrono'd at 418 FPS with a .20
+ Satisfying recoil when shooting
+ It's an all metal Mk18
+ included vertical grip (read below)
+ ABS stock and pistol grip don't feel chinsey.

Cons:
- Recoil system eats through batteries compared to regular AEGs. Killed an 11.1V 1100 mAH battery in 4 hours.
- Rail system is slightly out of spec. Did not fit a Larue grip that I had laying around. The spaces in the rail are not wide enough. A little filing where you want the part to go can correct this.
- Recoil system prevents the buffer tube from being used as a battery compartment. I don't think I'll be able to use different model stocks.

Other mentions:
/ Decent Accuracy. Exactly what I expected out of a typical M4 style AEG.
/ The internals are a little intimidating given that it isn't just a standard AEG. Given the FPS that it Chrono'd at, I don't feel the need to upgrade anything except the barrel and hopup bucking.
/ Vertical grip is a little cheesy compared to the real grip it is modeled after. Still works sufficiently, however.
/ Buttstock is a little difficult to disassemble compared to other AEGs. Makes batteries difficult to change during the fight. I would recommend swapping at about 1000~ rounds(if you use an 11.1V 1100mAH battery) to avoid having to do it in the field. Your mileage may vary.
/ I had seen several reviews of the gun that featured a bronze rail, but it is black like in the pictures.

My experience so far is that the gun is fantastic in the condition in which it shipped. I wasn't sure what to expect with the recoil system, but I knew I wanted to increase the realism of every trigger pull. I was pleasantly surprised, I would compare it to a .22cal rifle. If I could find other models I was interested in, in stock I would definitely consider buying another BOLT brand AEG.
