ARES M45X-S Airsoft AEG SMG with Folding Collapsible Stock (Color: Black)

"Fantastic little smg!!!
this little monster is a beast! the trigger is nice and snappy, the feeling of the gun is nice and heavy. you can feel the quality when you hold it in your hands. built is SOLID!! 100% satisfied with its performance right out of the box.
comes with 2 magazines. the barrel thread is 16mm. solid, well built and compact. perfect for indoor or cqb fields

"I was surprised to see that this little guy have zero reviews, so I got one and boy was I impressed. This thing packs quite a punch and has a pleasing unique sound when fired. It is also surprisingly loud for it's size. The trigger has a classic Ares feel, soft and quick. The overall build is very sturdy and has a great feel, the only slightly wobbly part is the stock but while you are playing it's not really noticable at all. The orange tip is glued on so boiling water or a heat gun does the trick. (Positive thread direction, righty tighty lefty loosie to be clear). The hopup unit is great and you can dial this thing in to perfect Lazer accuracy, even with lighter bbs like .20s. Definitely use an 11.1 LiPo battery, as 7.4 make the fire rate decrease a bit. The price is a little high, but so far I am very impressed. Definitely give this gun a try.

"It shoots very loud, which I like
It doesn’t shoot very far, so I recommend the 7 inch barrel, as the 9.5 inch made my gun shoot 410 fps and could not be used at the field
Also make sure to get extra magazines or the drum magazine
The little piece on the stock that you pull to slide it off, can’t be tightened because it just unlocks the stock, and then it falls off because it can’t be tightened, so make sure to use threadlocker to keep it in place
The folding stock is useless outside of transportation, because even when you want to disconnect the battery you still have live contacts being exposed

Overall a great gun with some flaws

"well.. its quite a nice little package, I also bought the drum mag and a bunch of 55 rd short mags, as well as the mid size and carbine length barrel assemblies. running 11.1 lipo. The gun itself is very sturdy and tight (so far). the hop out of the box was set so high slowed the fps down.. and it came out of the box slow... 265 -289 according to my Acetech BT. I need to chron it on a legit device though.. so.. I bought a 110 spring. it was quite stronger than what came stock as it was maybe 3/4" longer. Kinda tough to push in and screw down not the 1/4 turn system but a full screw in very easy access to change springs I must say. 2 allen wrenches are all you need. Here comes the "but" so I put in the 110 and it only brings it to like 290-305fps.. way strange. Ok so I put in the longest barrel and it averaged 350. . I put the same spring in my GG ARP 5.56 and the bbs come out sizzling at 330-355.. So its either leaky O rings or something else wrong right out of the box. One thing I did notice it makes a different type of sound while firing, I know all guns sound different, but because of the short length, you can feel a chunking metallic cycling, not gears grinding. something in the recoil (if thats a way to describe it). Even with the shortest barrel. it has very tight grouping. the RPS aren't great so there is a lag on rapid fire semi, I don't like that the only options for mags are proprietary 55 / 125 all top load, or the drum.. and the 125's are a little pricy at $30 a piece. Would have been nice to have a winding top load mag.. brining the loader is just an extra thing to carry. Might have been a full 5 but for the low FPS with the short barrel and the very limited mag selections knocked it off of the 5 star mark.
