Double Eagle M904G. 106 quid for a ridiculously good little AEG. Hair trigger, Binary firing and 1 to 5 round burst option on full auto. Think ARP 9 but better.

A brief history of the RS Honey Badger. Developed in 300 BLK ammunition for the replacement of the US SOG MP5 SD range however it was never adopted but AAC and then Q went on to refine the Honey Badger and offer it to the civilian market. Currently the range includes an SBR, Pistol (actually an SBR but with brace instead of stock) and lastly a suppressed model. The Double Eagle M904G. Double Eagle is normally a name I have shunned as they have made some pretty bad, low powered airsoft guns over the years and it would take a lot for me to even consider buying anything from DE. When I saw the new M904G from DE appear on the Taiwangun website I almost overlooked but I thought I’d have a closer look at it seemed to be a good external copy of the real Honey Badger. After looking into DE’s offering a bit more it got my interest when it claimed it had an adjustable trigger, Mosfet as standard and claimed to be able to binary fire out the box. For info Binary fire is the latest crazy in the US RS market where you get 1 round fired when you pull the trigger and another round off when you release the trigger. I have a mate in the US who has built an SBR in .45 with a binary trigger and it’s mental to fire. Another selling factor for me was the price. DE are offering various models and the M904G can be had for £106. That’s right, an AEG with mosfet, binary trigger, hair trigger and adjustable burst fire (1-5 rounds per trigger pull) for 104 quid. It’s either going to extremely crap or extremely awesome at that price. So after ordering and waiting a few days the AEG has turned up. It’s packaged inside a nice box with foam protection. Inside the box you get the AEG, Hicap magazine (300 rds), cleaning/unjamming rod, a wind up key for the magazine (also has the standard wheel on the bottom to wind if you want), a spare Deans connector, a Deans to Mini Tamiya connector, a decent manual and a Mosfet setup guide. The rifle is made of polymer apart from the outer barrel, Flash hider, Gas pipe, Fake bolt cover, sliding stock rails, part of the magazine catch, charging handle and the nuts and bolts holding everything together. The polymer used is very thick and has no wobbles, creaks or thin spots. Overall it seems rock solid and will take a lot of abuse. Looking in a bit more detail, starting from the front and working back, the flash hider is a metal copy of the Q Cherry Bomb flash hider which has threads on the outside to take a Q flash hider (Thunder Chicken or Trash Panda suppressors) however I don’t think anyone makes an airsoft version of these so if you want to fit a suppressor or another flash hider you an as the flash hider is held on with a grub screw to the -14mm threaded outer barrel. The metal outer barrel has a low-profile gas block fitted and is surrounded by a M lock style rail system. The top of the rail is full picatinny and is held on using a unique clamp system which relies on a nut to hold everything in place. The clamp system seems to be made of metal and also seems rock solid. The upper receiver is in the honey badger shape with cut-outs for the sliding stock. There are also some trades for the FALCON fire control system which is the name for the mosfet inside the gearbox. The dust cover looks to be metal and is spring loaded. The charging handle is a raptor style one and when pulled back makes the dust cover flick down however the fake bolt cover doesn’t lock to the rear so you need to hold the charging handle to the rear to adjust the Hop up. The lower receiver has a fake bolt release, metal receiver pins that are locked in place with allen headed screws, a DE trademark, an extended mag release button, plastic selectors and a very well textured and ergonomic pistol grip. The trigger is plastic but doesn’t have any flex when pulled to the rear. The trigger guard is designed for gloves and is moulded into the lower receiver (just like the real thing). The stock is in the honey badger style and inside is the battery wires which have a deans connector as standard. The Deans to Mini Tamiya in the box allow you to use a battery with a mini Tamiya connector if you want. The sliding stock has 3 positions but if you wanted to extend it more then cutting slots into the metal rails wouldn’t be an issue. The sliding stock is spring loaded so when you press the 2 side buttons to free the stock it pops out slightly making it easier to deploy. The stock cap is more like a cross between a stock pad and brace as it has a cutout on the lower part and there is a little lateral movement but nothing to panic about. There is also a sling loop at the point where the stock meets the lower receiver. The AEG comes with a set of polymer iron sights and these seem to be a copy of the IMI Defense polymer flip up sights. The sights have working elevation and windage adjustments and lack the IMI trademarks. Let’s move onto how it fires. So attaching a 7.4v Lipo in the stock tube you hear the mosfet beep to let you know it’s good. Out of the box it is set for maximum trigger pull, safe-semi-auto but after a couple of minutes following the supplied mosfet programming guide I had it on a hair trigger, with binary fire and burst set to 3 bb’s per trigger pull. Resetting it back to standard takes about 5 seconds if want to start again. With the 7.4v fitted it really is a snappy firing AEG. So snappy that when I fitted a 11.1 Lipo I didn’t see much different in semi but to be honest all this goes out the window anyway when you have the binary trigger set as when you spam the trigger in Semi there are BB’s flying all over the place. It’s awesome. Mine is firing too hot for UK sites so I’ll need to change the spring out for something a bit lower in FPS. I’ll also mention that the hop unit is a rotary designed one and looks to work well with .2g’s and I’ll try it out later with some heavier BB’s to see what it can handle. Part 2 will be a strip down and there is very little I want to change externally (unlike me) and all I will do to this one is fit a holosight and look at possibilities for fitting a tracer. Initial impressions are that it’s ridiculously good AEG for the money and I’m looking at Double Eagle in a new light. Here’s a size comparison of the 904G next to a ARP 9.

Hi, I'm from Korea. The manufacturer 'Toystar' discontinued producing metal body of K1,2 at 2018. You have to get used one from Korea, also it's quite hard to get.

Im really not much of an m4 person but a few different things came on sale at the same time so here I am. Might put a car15 stock on it and front wire it. Ill see what happens.

That is one nice clone of the Honey Badger (the real one made by Q, not the Ares piece of shit I have)

I'll have a review up in a day or 2. initial opinion is it's fantastic. DE have been terrible for years but this is their attempt to enter the better quality low budget range and so far they have knocked it out the park with this model. it's almost at the price point that if you get a few games out of it and then it breaks, chuck it away and buy another but so far the quality doesn't look like it will break anytime soon. my only gripe so far is the space for the battery isn't great 7.4v 1300Mah LIPO fits but I want to run something bigger so I've already designed a battery extension which will be free to print.

correct...they have a few different models and the longer the rail the higher the price but the internals are all the same.

It was crap before you took it apart...

Another package arrived today and for the first time in a while it wasn't Airsoft related. I decided to take up Axe throwing during this lock down and I have to say there is nothing more satisfying than lobbing an axe around your garden.

Ive used mine quite a lot. The pistol itself is very good for the price and performs as well as any full metal 1911. works a bit better with the extended ones as they have better gas storage. Dont touch their c02 mags. I bought 3 and had 2 break immedeately.

My Tokyo Marui P90, my favourite & one of my oldest guns. Doesn't look much different to stock externally, but it's had a few upgrades: G&P metal upper receiver Prometheus 6.03 barrel, Prometheus purple hop rubber, AirsoftPro "stability snob" Guarder air seal nozzle, Guarder steel cylinder head, Guarder chromed cylinder Guarder polycarbonate piston with Systema Area 1000 aluminium piston head Guarder SP90 spring Prometheus bearing spring guide Systema oilless metal bushings Prometheus hard cut-off lever Stock motor & gears Wired with a basic MOSFET (IRF2804, used to have an active braking MOSFET module fitted but replaced it as it made the main spring make a "boing" noise after firing whenever it was fired on semi auto), blade fuse, Deans connector Does a little over 330fps

Finally finished my Daewoo K2. I went the opposite route of @mightyjebus and @HuttArmouries and HPA'd mine - only because I dont have the money nor care to build up a good AEG gearbox right now and I do have a spare Polarstar Fusion Engine lying around. I added a real steel Stormwerkz K2 rail because I hate iron sights, a Vortex Sparc2 on a Rogers Riser, a Rogers Rail Light since there was still some room on the rail, and a Phantom flash hider, simply because thats the closest one I could find to what the K2s in service have on them. I was forced to use the less than ideal but still OK hop unit from the K2 as it is too tight for my spare Maxx, ProWin, or really any standard AR hop unit, but its got my spare barrel, bucking, and flat hop from my SR-25 so it should have some good range.
