INTRO:
This is an ENTRY-level gun, and a gun built for CQB (close-quarter fights). I've seen it selling for anywhere from $30-$50, depending upon where you go. That being said, buyers shouldn't expect it to be a TM (Tokyo Marui) AEG (All Electric Gun).
MY RATINGS:
Quality: 3/5
Expectations: 4/5 (It was what I expected)
Compared to All Other AEGs: 1.5/5
AVG from Above: approx 3/5 (the overall rating)
WHY I CHOSE THE ABOVE RATINGS:
Yes, the ROF (Rate of Fire) is slow, but if ppl are ticked at that, then they weren't reading the specs that are listed ON THE BOX and anywhere it is being sold - online and in-store. If ppl are disappointed in that, then it's their own fault - it's not an expensive gun, duh!
The gravity feed is definitely the biggest issue I find with it, which is easily fixed by buying a mid-cap magazine or two - I've found $20 mid-caps that old 170 bbs. Not a terrible price to fix that problem. Other than that, the gun will work fine. I have played pretty rough with mine (I only replaced the magazine to make sure bbs are feeding) and it's been fine. I would recommend getting a better gun to be the primary, but this one's fine for entry-level shooters who just wanna get out and play; It's pretty good for CQB as well. I plan on purchasing a higher voltage batt to increase ROF, and to be sure the motor doesn't burn up, just crack the case open and check the motor for max voltage requirements - it's easy. Then you won't burn it up. Just be warned that the plastic gears inside aren't high quality (again, it's entry-level), so they may not hold up well to the added stress.
CONCLUSION:
Keep these things in mind, and you can upgrade it easily. If you don't wanna do that, then chock up more money and buy a more expensive gun. I give it a 3/5
