My opinion and overall comments:
When I first got this gun I had heard nothing but good reviews, and for the cost of £450, I was expecting it to. First skirmish with it, I was disappointed. First off it was way over the FPS limit of the site, so I had to buy a new spring and clip it (Which is a two second job on this with how easy it is to disassemble and with the quick change spring system in all fairness.)
Then at my first engagement, I saw how terrible the hop was, to fix this I purchased a harder rubber, and fitted a small cut off piece of allen key into the nub. Now it works amazing compared to at first, in which even on max hop it wouldn't over-spin the BB.
The construction of this gun is awesome, feels great and well balanced, with those quick fixes, the gun is definitely worth the cash! Stick an AFG on there with a 553/551 and you're set to go. The metal upper keeps it strong, and the polymer stock, lower and hand guard keeps it light yet durable, I believe it's the same material as the real steel so it can't go wrong there!
The gearbox is very nice, good quality stuff in there which I'm not going to touch until something goes wrong.
The AKM magazines don't feed very well if you put BB's past the second turn, so in reality you're getting 120 rounds approx. I don't have any experience with the ACR lower, but heard good reviews from it.
Who needs a systema when you can get this beast for a 1/3 of the price? Totally worth it, may even stick a LiPo in it..
Overall rating:
9.5/10
