"This was my first aeg and I'm so happy that I have it. The gun's trigger response is magnificent and the fps is very consistent. All in all 10/10

"Absolutely love this, gun shoots with really good accuracy at 150 ft with .25 gram bbs, very resilient, fell on it while playing airsoft and barley a scratch.

"This is my second AEG and I've had it for about 4 months at the time of writing. I can say without a doubt this is worth every cent and I 100% recommend it.
Pros:
Great range
Shoots pretty fast for a stock gun (w/ 11.1V Lipo)
Relatively easy to swap the spring
Not too heavy or too light
Feels and looks amazing
Includes a stubby foregrip and two mid-caps
Cons:
Gun came broken but was quickly repaired for free by Evike.
Gearbox sometimes locks up if you fire in full-auto and then switch to semi-auto quickly (super easy to fix)
The adjustable stock is a little too wobbly when fully extended
Barely enough room for the battery I bought
The items that were included with mine included the gun (M4 RIS / TAN SA-E03), the GATE X-ASR pre-wired to the gun two mid-cap magazines, an extra M90 spring, a "Quality Certificate" from Specna Arms, a Gate X-ASR troubleshooting card, a stubby foregrip, two rail covers, and a Specna Arms EDGE catalog.
I am running it with the included mid-caps, a "Matrix High Performance 11.1V Stick Type Airsoft LiPo Battery (Configuration: 1000mAh / 20C / Deans & Short Wire)", and .23g Matrix bio-bbs.
To begin with, the gun I received was almost completely non-functional (despite Specna Arm's "Quality Certificate" stating it passed with flying colors). Upon taking the gun out of its box the inner barrel fell out and I tried putting it back in myself, but to no avail. After hours of troubleshooting, I decided to request an RMA from Evike. They got back to me in under two days, and I requested a replacement or repair. The gun was repaired by Evike and returned within a week of the RMA request.
Now that the gun was functional, I could not have been happier. I first broke in the included mid-caps by loading and unloading them about a dozen times apiece before testing them in my gun. They work flawlessly; one uses all 120 rounds 99% of the time and the other leaves about 1 or 2 left. The gun itself is simply amazing. It manages somewhere around 14 RPS on full-auto and the semi-auto is super responsive, both averaging the advertised 380 FPS. I've got the hop-up tuned to hit a 10" target at 75 feet with ease, all while shooting super flat. The gun is light enough to not be a pain to carry without a sling, but heavy enough to not feel cheap. The upper and lower receivers and the buffer tube is metal, but everything else is a pretty tough polymer. Four months later and it's still just as amazing.
As for the cons, they didn't bug me all that much. The week wait-time for the gun repair was well worth the wait for me. The gearbox has an issue where it'll completely lock up if you go from shooting full auto to semi quickly, but it's easy to avoid and fix. Simply swap it to safe for a few seconds then to semi-auto, shoot once or twice, and full auto should work again. It doesn't really bug me since I mostly use semi-auto. The buffer tube is standard sized, but I bought a stick battery that was a little chonky which was worsened by the added length of the MOSFET. More of a mistake on my end, but I would imagine many might not be able to use already owned batteries. The wobbly stock is a pretty common bug on these stocks, but my stock seems to have it worse. It doesn't bug me too much, so I haven't really tried to fix it.
All in all, I was pretty disappointed to receive the gun in a non-functional state, but Evike more than made up for that with the quick response and repair time. The gun is a blast to use, it's easy to operate, durable, and its bugs are easy to work around or fix. Would suggest to newer and experience players, although it might be better for brand new players to go with the CORE series of these guns.

"SA-E03. I've only had one game with it but I like it a lot, It reminds me of the standard issue M4 I had in the service. Downsides is that the foregrip is wobbly, the rail covers basically fell off, and the springs are quite difficult to change as they require the buttstock to be remove.
I chrono'd mine:
M90: ~305 fps
Stock: ~365 fps

"Picked up the PDW SA-E10 for indoor CQB. Have to say you're getting a lot of bang for your buck with going with the Specna Arms Edge rifles. Mine came with a vertical grip, 2 midcaps, m90 spring, deans to tamiya adapter, unjamming/cleaning rod, manual, and QC sheet. The QC sheet for fps was off by -20fps which I thought was hilarious.
With the stock spring I was getting 360 fps avg which is slightly too hot for CQB. The included M90 spring dropped the fps too much, swapped it out with one of my other spares to get 350. The quick change spring through the buffer tube is made simple and not overly convoluted. Other manufacturers really should follow suit.
Shooting is snappy with a 11.1v Lipo. I haven't locked up the gearbox after pulling the trigger in quick succession. What's nice is that this compression in the rifle is superb so shots are verrryyy consistent. The hop up is also very nice and easy to operate with the rotary style unit. Set it and forget it and it shoots laser beams.
I'm happy to see that the pistol grip isn't the standard A2 style. It's slightly more vertical so your wrist is in a more natural position during operation. The included mid caps have a snug fit but, contrary to popular belief, I prefer to have a slight wobble. The capacity is pretty low at about 120 rounds. My BAMF mags need a little fumbling around to get it right but once its in, it stays in and feeds wonderfully. Construction of the midcaps are done well, though. A thick polymer with their SA logos etched in make the finish really neat.
Battery space leaves a lot to be desired primarily due to the Gate MOSFET being housed in the buffer tube. I had purchased a larger stock to fix this. The metal used for the receivers feels weighty but also really cheap. Not a big deal to me but I've held much lighter full metal replicas like the Valken Alloy Series. But, with a $200 price tag this is a minor gripe. I will say that after pulling back the charging handle for the first time, the tab that holds the dust cover closed broke and cannot be closed. It is what it is, but again.. It's $200.
All in all, I'm very pleased with what you get in the box. I've had no problems with the gear box and works better than expected given the low cost of admission. I'm astounded that SA was able to make so many different variants of the Edge series so there really is one for every one. Keep it up.

"So far so good with this gun I’m using a 11.1 lipo from Titan with it and it rips! If your looking for a good beginner gun or solid back up gun and dint want to touch it then get this thing because it’s the most solid back up gun I’ve had in awhile! Buy it if your on the fence about it!
by Keenan D. on 01/06/2020
"(NOTE: I use an 11.1v with this rifle)
The Good :
- Perfect ROF
- Integrated MOSFET: It even has a neat little light to tell you if something is wrong with the gun, as well as a pamphlet with information as to what the lights mean.
- Good trigger response: You can spam the trigger without having it lock up on you, and the response is nice.
- Good range: Even on a windy day, I'm able to land BBs on small targets without a problem.
The "meh":
- External construction: While the upper and lower receivers are well built, there is substantial wobble with the stock and provided magazines, as well as some wobble with the handguard. Changing out the stock and magazines should help, but I'm not too sure about the handguard.
- Battery space: Limited. The battery compartment is located within the buffer tube, so don't expect to slap in a brick of a battery in there.
For the price, you're getting an excellent gun with only a few external flaws. I was able to yoink the SA-E01 for a measly $130, which is just amazing.

"just got this in and I'm extremely impressed. for what you get at that price point is amazing. ive ran about a couple hundred through it already. just needs a new bucking imo. everything else is great. weight,trigger response,rof,asthectics....etc.....cop you one before they go up!
by Connor P. on 10/16/2019
"To summarize, it's a good gun. Cheaper than anything that will match the quality, and higher quality than anything at the same price. I would recommend this gun for just about anyone that isn't looking to spend much on a gun. The 190-250 dollar range is just about the sweet spot for anyone getting into the hobby, but if it's too much, you can go with the cheaper Specna Core guns. Anyway, onto the pros/cons.
Pros:
Has a whole suite of features, from the mosfet to the quick release spring, that for the most part won't be useful day to day, but are good to have. You can find them in the specs, so I won't list them all here.
Includes some good attachments right in the box. A second mag and a vertical grip, which are just nice to have. A second, lower powered spring is included for people that want to play indoors.
The gun uses an Rhop, which can be used to increase both the range and your accuracy, something that you can't usually find at this price.
The gun features a tightbore barrel, allowing for more accuracy.
The gun is just all around good. It has a good finish, has some heft to it, and just feels nice in my hands.
Cons:
One of the included mid caps doesn't work with the gun. I don't understand why. Other mags work in the gun, and the mag works with other guns. Kind of sucks, but it doesn't matter that much.
No black tip was included in the box, and there isn't an easy way to cover the tip.
Gun is loud. That's not to say that other similar guns aren't, I just don't really love that.

"I didnt receive the EDGE 2.0 model but it still performs pretty well. Sad that i didnt get the advertised gate aster but whatever.
by Maverick H. on 10/06/2021
"I just started airsoft this year, and I very much enjoy the rifle. The only downside I had with it was it jamming and the charging handle extension broke after the second game. It was an easy fix and still a good gun to use. Solid for the price and overall good performance for a more cqb style field.
