well it ain't no dmr and is really for cqb but suppose also it has an advantage
in that it could be easier to shortcut through bushes easier than a big m16
getting caught up perhaps
looks sexy but friggin loud with flash hider but then it is not designed for long range
I've remove the stock and put on a fixed cheapo stubby so can take any battery
hate all that pi$$balling about with thin lipo stick
range wise not much less accurate than a normal stock m4 in same price range
bought it coz I liked the sexy black 8itch - didn't buy it to snipe with I bought it to
take her out and help take others out so to speak.....
despite being small and a fair bit of plastic not full metal she weighs a bit but I feel
just right to run with all day in the sun.....
I got an ICS clear sportsline and they kind of perform the same - maybe ICS a bit
more longer range accurate but c'mon the fire hawk just looks so sexy & bad ass

Thanks for the review!
Just waiting for stock to appear somewhere and I'll be clicking that purchase button.
Does it matter what battery I use within it? I have read a few specs that indicate I should use a LiPo battery but having looked into that they seem really high maintenance and I've been told Nimh batteries are simpler - could this be used instead?

battery options are limited due to thin stick battery type in stock tube
plus can be a bit fiddly to get battery in the 8itch
hence I shoved a stubby fixed one instead:

now I can just use any battery I can find lipo/life/nimh etc......
lipo's are great but options are limited voltage wise - 7.4v or 11.1v - or 9.9v life battery
I still sometimes use some decent 8.6v or 9.6v batteries.
like I said your main problem is limited battery space/options out of box, but I plan to either fit
the FH stock to another M4 front handguard battery gun or sell it complete with tube
love my stubby - lost some sex appeal - well I lost that years ago, but at least the FH can run
with almost any battery now - so it is a possible consideration I think - stubby is fixed but same
size as G&G VS02 stock that was on there
