This is Michael reviewing.
Quick review- This was my first AEG (I bought it somewhere else for about the same price before I knew evike(!) and I have to review it. It is all plastic, inside and out, with only a metal inner barrel and some screws. The fake wood looks quite realistic, along with the gun in general. The FPS is pretty low, maybe 250-280, but it does hurt to a certain range. It has a good winding magazine, that is specially designed for this gun, meaning NO OTHER MAGS WILL WORK for this gun. You have to buy the ones specific to this. Basically a great starter aeg and a nice secondary for better players.
Now for the big review.....
The gearbox outside is clear plastic. The gears are plastic. The hop-up is plastic. All of the external is plastic. That pretty much tells you this is a starter gun not made to be tortured! Take care of it and it will last you quite a while!
The externals are plastic but look very nice. The flash hider is really big, it is the whole front sight on the gun. I suggest you spray paint most of it, but leave a nice amount of orange on the tip so you don't get shot :).
For such a cheap gun the plastic wood looks great. I heard it was good, but it is really good. The bolt doesn't move or function in any way, and the hop-up is just a little slide you push forward or backward. The weight was surprising, and still well balanced. It feels nice to hold, and makes you look totally bad running around with it.
Being able to shoot this gun may surprise you. With a fully charged battery the RPM is actually pretty impressive for the price, and the FPS is not bad too. What I also love is the accuracy. My friend got the DE m83 or something, (the LPAEG Double Eagle M4) and he would pop out from behind trees and the bbs would spray everywhere. I would set this to semi and put three bbs in his chest!
The accuracy does have its limits though. The range, as expected, isn't very far. But the hop-up is actually quite good and can send the bbs quite a bit further. I would only use .12 gram bbs, because .20 bbs don't go as far and may be too stressful for the plastic gears. Anyways, .12s are cheaper, lighter to carry, and are more colorful! (Lol)
Cons.....
The front part of the barrel slid off after I shipped from Wisconsin to Florida when I moved, so the glue isn't very good (but the gun looks really sweet when it is off!)
Also, I accidentally stepped on it and the end of the barrel snapped off (easy fix with good super glue.)
Plastic and low power (a good thing for beginners though.)
Overall, the best LPAEG you can buy for the price, definately the best choice for beginners, as long as you treat it right and take care of it! | |
