The mags aren't proprietary as I just stuck a random pmag in it and it worked fine. I haven't tried a bunch of mags yet but the supplied mag looks like a bog standard hicap painted silver.
It was hot out the box so I undertook quite an adventure to figure out how to get the thing apart. Getting to the spring turned out to be easy however getting the gearbox out is challenging as is getting access to the hop unit. The spring is proprietary and very short and I had to cut 4 rings off to get it around 330 fps on a .2g bb. Hop rubber is standard so I've stuck a quantum in it but the nub seems to be built into the adjustment arm. I'll see how it runs with just the quantum hop rubber and mess around with it if I need to use the quantum nub.
The inner barrel is full length so the option for setting it up as a DMR is pretty good. As BigAl mentioned there is no front sight but it does have a rear sight which might explain why the A team couldn't hit anything. Looking at images of the real thing shows that some did have it, others didn't and some had a completely different type of front sight and longer flash hider. I'm not that bothered as I'm probably going to stick a knock off 80's aimpoint on to it at some point.
*EDIT* It doesn't like "thick" magazines so proprietary as in it will take normal mags if you find ones that fit!
