Preface
I've owned this gun for about one year now, and I have been overall very pleased with it. It's great for CQB, and can still hold it's own outside. I have the Triple Rail version with a BSA Red Dot scope on it.
Cosmetic
First of all, let me say, this is one of the most compact guns out there. It measures only 504mm in length without the silencer. The gun is ambidexterious, and has a smooth rounded design that is very futuristic. The Triple Rail (TR) version has, you guessed it, 3 standard RIS rails for attachments. The fire selector is just under the trigger, and has Safe, Semi, and Auto fire. The trigger is solid, and has good response when pulled. The mags are large and bulkey- but they work without flaw. Spring-and-Gravity fed, you rarely miss a shot. The hicap mags are very unique; holding about 300 rounds, you only need to wind them once, and once it's in the gun, all shots are fired, without need for any more winding.
The body is mostly plastic, with a metal flash hider, rails, and frontend. The only problem I see with the outside of the gun is that it may be too small for someone with a large frame.
Firing
This has a very fast Rate of Fire, with it's stock EG1000 motor. Even on a 8.4v battery, it is somewhere around 12-15 shots a second. BBs (.2) chrono at 265 stock, which is about normal for a stock Tokyo Marui gun. The magazines feed well, I almost never miss a shot. The hicap magazine is unique, in that you only have to wind it once, and the system will push all of the BBs out with only one wind, because of the design. Even with a very short barrel (263mm), this gun's accuracy is still very decent. With the silencer, this gun is very hard to hear from about 40 feet, and even wtihout the silencer, it is still pretty quiet.
Ratings
Build Quality - 9/10 Very good quality construction, not to mention very hard to break. The only downside is there is not a lot of room for battery in the back.
Cosmetics - 8/10 You will definetely get a lot of looks and questions if you bust this out at a game, and most people like the futuristic design. Again, it may be a little small for some people.
Firing - 9/10 Very fast ROF, good accuracy, but could be better with a longer/tighter barrel.
