G&G Custom Full Metal M4 Commando Raider Airsoft AEG Rifle w/ Crane Stock (Package: Black / Add 9.6 Butterfly Battery + Smart Charger)

"Blows my first gun (JG M4-S system) out of the water in literally every regard... but it had a role and did it well. Anyway THIS gun.

This gun is absolutely solid and ready to go out of the box, shoots a little weak for outdoor play but when I bought it I got $50 in store credit, I used that to buy an angel 6.01 tightbore (simple install with a YouTube video) and now it shoots more accurately and at a higher fps (right on the verge of 400 with .20)

I have the maple leaf bucking and nub in the mail. Can't wait to see how it performs then.

The stickers are easy to remove, the flash hider is pinned, screwed, and glued. It's very simple to remove I used a sharp pointy pocket knife (not a Swiss army) and cut around the pin to remove it. And used pliers to unscrew the tip (I'm not a girly man)... The flash hider is relatively still in tact so I swapped the metal flash hider from my old gun and it. Please note that I grabbed the gun by the front sight with my left hand while the right using pliers to unscrew it... The front sight is welded to the outer barrel. You are not going to break it.

I was surprised to see that the full heat shield is metal, I thought just the rails on it were. I was pleasantly surprised indeed.

This thing is solid, you aren't going to be able to break it and actually lighter then the M4-S system...

Not going to lie I bought this with the intention of upgrading it. As I didn't want to spend 400-500 on a name and be found wanting. So I got the cheapest full metal gun I could find and that was a G&G that I know I am going to have no problems finding compatible parts.

This thing is beautiful and I can't wait to use it for years to come.

Small external things.... The engraving on the receiver could be cleaner, but it's not a big deal proforma is what matters and boy does it. It has a bayonet lug, and options for a 1 point or 2 point sling. Slight wobble on the heat shield, tightening the screws fixed that, but there is still a slight wobble in the outer barrel, have yet to fix.

The heat shield is strong enough to take a rail mounted M203 (M4 so system was not)

All in all its a great mid-range gun you can easily upgrade in the future. Could not be more satisfied. Using this with an angel 6.01 tight bore is sexy as hell. Would definitely recommend using your in store credit on that. Turning your gun into a 300$ monster for a fraction the cost.

It's sexy as hell, strong as hell, and puts out. What more you want?

"Been using it 4 days now.

Surprised me was the heat shield was metal, I thought just the rails on the heat shield were.

Only complaint is the charge handle doesn't lower the dust cover to adjust the hopup and is rather wobbly. Everything else is solid.

With the bonus item of 50$ I got an angel 6.01 tight bore too. Can't wait to see how well it performs with it. Will update then.

Blows the JG M4-S system I got first completely out of the water in literally every regard. Worth the extra 50-70 bucks.

Wish this was my first gun.

I might even take off the rear sights (it is airsoft after all)

"Overall, good gun. Great for new and experience players. Good weight! Not too heavy or too light. Construction of the gun is great! I do recommend this gun if you're looking for a nifty m4

Pros:
- Full Metal Body Construction (For those metal gun lovers out there like me)
- Fire Selector switch is solid. Not lose. Nor too tight.
- Sights are good. Rear sight is replaceable if you don't like it
- Range isn't too bad, shoots roughly 330-360

Cons:
- The only problem I have with this gun is that it shoots a little weak. The gun is more for CQB, without the short barrel and mobility.

Great gun for the buy though. Don't think any longer. :D

"Great gun Shoots Great and is awesome it is G&G Cant go wrong with it i think it is Great i kick Butt every time i go out.

"This is by far THE BEST M4 for new players as well as those comfortable enough to do some simple upgrades such as installing a new hopup, bucking, and/or barrel. Not only is it really affordable, but it also comes with an Epic Bonus item (at this time)! M4s are pretty much the "go-to" gun for most airsofters, and because of that, there is a huge amount of aftermarket parts available for them, so you will never have a problem fixing and customizing your weapon. Do yourself a favor and buy this gun. Seriously. Or I will be sad. -----_ : ( And you don't want that.

Pros:

It's An M4. By G&G.
Full Metal Construction
Performs Well Out Of The Box.
Did I Mention That It's FULL METAL?
This Gun Is The Embodiment Of Sexiness. (Sorry, Roger)

Cons:

The Rear Sight Isn't Necessarily Wrong (SCAR Sight), But A Flip-Up Would Be Nice.
You're Trying To Convince Yourself That You Don't Want This Gun.
That's All I've Got, And I Thought For Ten Minutes On This,

Recommended Upgrades (Not Necessary, However):

Madbull Ultimate Hopup Unit $38
Prometheus Soft Type Bucking (It's Purple) $20
Mad Bull Black Python 6.03 Tight-Bore Inner Barrel (363mm) $30
Angel Custom Metal "H-Hop" Hopup Spacer $8
Tactical Spork (For When You Need To Eat Jello And A Spoon Just Won't Cut It) $5

I GUARANTEE that you will outperform most other AEGs in the same price range and beyond with these upgrades. GUARANTEED. If you are unsure about how to do these upgrades yourself, there are plenty of online tutorials. Or if you don't feel comfortable tinkering yourself (really basic stuff, I promise), you can take your gun to your local airsoft tech or shop. If such a place/person does not exist, Evike has a convenient service that can do this all for you.

Hopefully you've stopped reading this review by now and picked up one of these guns. I can't possibly stress how great this gun is for beginners and intermediate players. Happy airsofting!

Fully upgradeable
Everything is Full Metal besides the Buttstock and handgrip (Of course)
Range is 100+ feet

"Excellent rifle

Ready to shoot out of the box, chrono'd 361 FPS with .2's.

Externals are really sturdy, no wobble whatsoever and the magazine that came with it is not bad. I also bought 10 BAMF mags and haven't had any misfeeds.

"overall love this gun it is so accurate and fun to shoot. this was my first airsoft gun and I am very impressed with it.



pros
great shooting
comes with 450 round mag witch is awesome
easy to upgrade


cons
when pulling back charging handle it does not release the dusk cover to adjust the hopup

"This gun was a great gun right out of the box. It had no problems. It was good range and fps. All the parts are holding up.

"i have owned many AEG's and this is overall the best gun i have ever owned!
super accurate, sexy looking, durable, amazing paint job and metal, shoots fast-hard and straight.
worth the price, you will never find one like it.
its is pretty much unbreakable.
and that is if you take care of it!
it can handle strong batteries, and shoots fast! even with a 8.4volt.

its a amazing gun.
i am a very happy airsofter because if it :D

"First AEG ever. Recommended by an experienced player.
Shot 335fps out of the box, straight and level with no hopup dialed in.
3 evenings of shooting @1000bbs through it so far.

Pros: Good solid feel
Cons: no battery or charger included with it.

"I have had this gun for over a year and put more than 30k rounds through it, and all I can say is that it a performer in the truest sense. Nice durable metal body, and surprisingly light weight. Just recently the stock mag that came with it started to have some trouble so I bought some new ones, but it did last over a year so no complaints there. Good rof with a 9.6 but I extend the stock all the way out and I took off one of the caps in the front of the stock and stuck a 10.8 stick in there and it works great.

Pros:
Reliable
Fast rof
Good range 120+ feet
Very nice quality
450 round mags
Overall great gun

Cons:
A little wobble when you get it, but it's easy to tighten everything up
Can't remove the front sight
Mags are wobbly, easily fixed by putting a little tape in the back of the magwell

Overall an amazing gun, still after a year and 30k rounds works like it did when I first got it and incredible for the price. Couldn't ask for anything better

"I got this gun a few days ago and I'm pretty impressed. The only issues is that the mag and stock are a little wobbly and the butt pad is hard to get off.

Pros:
Nice solid gun
Full metal
Accurate
Pretty good price

Cons:
Butt pad was hard to remove
Mag wobble(problem for me)
Stock wobble

overall I would say this gun is perfect for me. I could just do some adjustments to correct the cons but once I get some accessories and stuff on it I'll be ready to go!

"I got this gun a week ago I've put 40,000 rounds through it and I have not had a single problem with it, but if you use a single point sling with the rear mount the stock comes loose and you just have to tighten the screw in the stock an its fine.

The mag that comes with the gun the screw it the bottom of the mag came out, but all you have o do is use some electrical tape on the top of the mag and its fine.

When I bought this gun I also bought an M4/M16 carrying handle and its very accurate, the sight that comes with it is very hard to see out of.

The battery goes in the stock the butt pad is hard to get off so you can get to the battery compartment.

I would recommend this gun to anyone how uses their airsoft gun often.
