Metal? Plastic? How are the internals? I am pretty skeptical of this rifle, although it has metal bushings and steel gears it does have a plastic gearbox and a 100% spring. any modifications would most certainly make the gearbox explode from the loads.
If the gun is metal then I guess it would be worth buying if you plan to change out the internals, and even then it will end up being the same price as a good AEG.

One thing I noticed is cheaper brand AEG's have loud ass gearboxes, I remember when I got the UTG mp5 I thought it was the greatest thing in the world untill this week when I bought my TM AK47 off tru, I no longer even use the MP5, it is still awesome but its like comparing a Bentley to a Honda, if you had the ferrari the honda would just be sitting there, same goes to these low wnd guns, they might be fun and all but when it comes to actually using one for skirmashing I would only trust something that has been proven time and time again like the TM line of guns.

Anyway give us a good long review with pictures and all, take notes of the materials, quality of the seams, areas for improvement, perhaps this gun wouldnt be so bad once you swap a different mechbox in to it, but as said before $$$.

Thanks and enjoy your new toy for the holidays :grin:
