"Over 20k shots in. Best GBBR I have ever owned, and I have owned many from VFC, TM, WE and GHK.
Pros:
-Mags do not leak even if you leave them empty for months (unlike VFC)
-internals show no signs of serious after 20k shots
-good gas efficiency, ~2-3mags
-snappy trigger response (unlike WE)
Cons:
-Bad stock hop up (like all KWA guns). TNT kit has me reaching ~70 meters
-Little aftermarket support in USA (like all KWA guns)
-Requires AR-15 wrench and heat gun to take down barrel assembly
-Paint on mags wears off

"I bought this to prepare for bad blood 2019 and other milsims. I ended up using it in more local games. It performed well out the box. Only issue beng that the fill valve on mags was loose so i had to tighten them. I used it today in 40 degree F november weather and this where it shined. The permance difference was minimal and it shot straight where i zeroed it for. A little lower FPS but still i was mag dumping and i didnt have to refill gas. This gun is worth the money. I use .32 and .36 gram bbs. And it was perfect. .28s are good too but i think heavy is better for the LM4. I run a real steel Aimpoint PRO on it and it works like a dreammmm. The hop up is sensative and people break it often. I was very careful and so far so good. But once you zero it. Its great. Make sure you lube up this gun though.

"This gun is everything that you are dreaming off. I bought it because I was sick and tired of AEG's... they aren't realistic and shooting them gets very boring real fast. THIS GUN DOES NOT. The recoil makes you feel like you're shooting the real thing. KWA never seems to disappoint and this rifle is no different.
Pros:
- AMAZING metal construction
- Accurate
- Recoil is realistic
- Perfect R.I.S. system for attaching any accessories
- Steel Bolt Assembly
Cons:
- Extra Magazines are expensive ( I bought 7, each around 45 bucks a pop )

"Very nice recoil. Realism is 90% real. I ordered 2 & 1 of them had a problem with bucking. We couldnt adjust hop up & found the bucking was twisted in the gun & torn. Evike wouldnt warranty so we just bought another hopup set from another company & now rifle shoots great. Def recommend the Kwa ptr.

"So I bought this gun for OP. Bad Blood 2017 and I did run into a few issues with it but that being said it did perform great just not the way I hoped for. If anyone is looking for buy this gun for a slightly more realistic gun to run at an event or just have a better feel for airsoft then I highly recommend this to anyone looking to get into their first gas rifle.
From what i could gather out of the issue I was having is:
1. Get a harder bucking for this gun (High heat and humidity will not treat your stock bucking very well. Meaning it will swell and jam a lot.) REAPS or a Mapleleaf for this gun are the 2 most recommended ones I could look into.
2. Learn this guns hop-up system before ANY gameplay and dial that gun in as much as possible. The hop-up unit is definitely much more different but with that such a "difference" it's also a major pain to the adjust while on the fly.
3. Run higher grade and gram BB's. I ran Elite Force Bio .25's at Bad Blood and did fine BUT run Japanese or (KWA) spec BB's for a much more accurate and reliable time with the LM4 so .28's or even .30's will be great for this gun.
With all the negatives aside for a moment I love this gun and I can tell it is going to last me a long time and yes this gun is going to have some quirks to work out but nothing works perfectly without learning something out of it. This gun is extremely easy to take apart and really get into what makes this rifle tick and makes it even easier to clean lubricate all the moving parts that make this gun shoot how you want is to shoot.
Play Hard, Play Safe everyone!

"entry gbb.. had a team of 6 buy these and we all ran them for about a year. Roughly 10 game days and a 48 hour event. needs bolt replacement after about 3k-8k rounds fired. standard mags would swell, yes actually swell after a while making loading hard. magpul mags were useless because of leaking. dont really recommend

"Fun gun, but let down by many issues.
Pros:
-VERY fun to shoot
-Is a good real steel training aid
-Reliable with KWA magazines
Cons:
-Hopup is terrible - No matter what setting I adjusted it to about 2/3s of BBs would dip hard after about 100 feet or so.
-Bad mid-range and long range accuracy
-Upper and lower receiver have terrible fit. Wobble central even with shims.
-Rail wobble even with the top screw tightened and zip ties adding tension
-PTS mags with the enhanced feed lips DO NOT WORK.
I was very excited to get this gun, but once I spent some time with it I was severely let down. I would not field this; KWAs aegs are much better and less expensive. Overall, this feels like a $200-$250 gun that needs another $200 in upgrades to get acceptable performance before I would field it.
