Gun Name and maker: As above
FPS: 325 - 330 out of the box.
Hop up: Yes and it's ruddy fantastic. Not the wheel type though, it's like a little plastic stick and you pull it away from the barrel, towards the rear of the gun for more hop and push it forwards towards the barrel for less.
The travel distance is a good inch as well, I don't know if that's because the hop up rubber is massive, or what. But it feel like it'll last a looonnnnggg time.
As usual it's located under the ejection port cover, which can be locked open, as well as slapped shut in true H&K form.
Mag Capacity: Comes with a weighted, metal 200 round hi-cap.
Battery: Fits just about any and all under the sun. I'm running it on an 8.4v 3300mah and it fits in the stock perfectly.
Plastic/Metal/Both: Ahead of the reciever the hand guard is a nice sturdy ABS and the barrel above it, as well as the charging handle are some kind of aluminimum alloy, judging by the look and feel. The upper reciever is a slightly textured pot metal, it could be better but it looks the part and doesn't weigh much.
Lower reciever, pistol grip and full stock are all ABS like the hand guard.
My opinion and overall comments:
As my first AEG I can't put a single thing against it.
I'm used to my very dodgy, skittish WE M16 which is a gas blowback rifle and in terms of reliability this is just in a new league. I've fired about 1000 rounds through it since I got it and it hasn't skipped a beat, I've even used .2, .3 and .4g BBs and apart from not being able to see the .4s because they're black, it seemed to perform almost exactly the same aside from needing more hop as the weight increased.
The pneumatic blowback is the best thing ever, there's no kick but it actually works! It moves with every single shot as it's powered by residual air, not used in the launching of the BB and it NEVER gets stuck in the middle on auto.
It also makes the gun sound a bajillion times better than standard whiney AEGs because the thud of the ejection port hides any rubbish gearbox noises.
Also, the blowback doesn't work when there's no rounds loaded because it requires that pressure in the barrel from a BB being present to operate.
Accuracy is utterly unbelievable, at 20m I can hit a coke can every time, using the iron sights. Though they're centred ever so slightly left of where the shots go and aren't adjustable, which is a shame. Though there is a choice of 4 rear apature sizes.
I'd say it's accurate to around 35m (but it can easily go 50m), at least enough to hit a person without any effort.
On auto it has a commendable rate of fire, though the selector lever does tend to dig into your hand when it's in the auto position, which can be a pain but I doubt you'll notice it when skirmishing and I wear gloves anyway so it won't be a problem for me.
It's a shame it lacks the burst mode, but I know I'd never use it anyway so I can overlook that.
Overall rating:
Generally, I'd give it 8/10, the only things I have against it is the seemingly low FPS, I'm used to over 400fps even with .3 gram bbs and this just can't tear stuff up the same way, but the accuracy more than makes up for that and it's not really anything against the gun, more how I perceive it.
The other thing is that although it weighs around the same as the real steel, at 2.5kg, compared to the heft and strong build of my previous gas rifle, it just doesn't feel as... Real. If you know what I mean?
I can't imagine the real one feeling the same, I'd expect it to seem a little heavier and thicker. Can't really explain it. It might just be me being weird.
Bought from:
I bought it at Landwarrior for £220, it came without a battery or charger, but it did come with a 20mm claw mount, picatinny style rail, a velco G&G armament badge for your airsoft gear, a detachable flash hider to cover the threaded outer barrel and, Landwarrior threw in a drumstick lolly because they're goddamn awesome xD
Skirmish report:
I took this out for its first skirmish yesterday and I was really happy with it, I landed a hell of a lot of kills in CQB, just popping up from windows and double tapping people in the face
, accuracy is unbeatable at under 35m, I was getting people through cracks and windows from around 170 degree angles, so the gaps were insanely small and they just sailed right though.
Got a lot of nice kills in the trench games as well.
It lacks range though, especially when compared to the guy that bought a Systema M4 D= but I guess that's expected from a CQB weapon lol.
Only real problem I had was that on auto, the mag wasn't feeding at the same rate the gun could fire, but I tend not to use auto unless I'm clearing a bunker or shooting down a trench.
All I know is that after skirmishing it, I love it even more than I did before and I don't know why Marksman hates G&G so much :lol:
Thanks for reading.
