"If you buy this gun for its performance, I advise you to buy a longer gun such as the Vector Arms VMG. However, you simply cannot beat this gun's exterior. It is truly full metal, as only the hand guards are plastic, while the rear grip is some sort of very strong polymer. The stock folds very easily and is lightweight.

All the metal parts and the rear grip are flat black, while the fore grip is satin black. The only part that is not flat black on the exterior is the bolt, which is painted a cheap silver color that I do not personally like and think it needs to be replaced by a flat black bolt.

The magazine is also a high quality plastic and feeds OK... It must be wound fully several times during a war to empty the entire mag, and with a 9.6v battery, you will find yourself winding often.

The trademarks are simple, with one side reading "Vector Arms", and the other with "Vector Arms", a caliber marking (5.45x39 I believe, whatever the real gun is), the name of the gun, and a serial number.

I will soon mount a scope on it using the CYMA AK scope mount, and I have already mounted a Madbull Blackside silencer on the front. I have also bought the AK gun sling on this web site, and all together, I think it looks sorta terrorist/ Spetsnaz.

The performance leaves only range to be desired, but then again, if I wanted range, I would have bought a gun with a longer barrel. I use this gun as a sniper backup as it is relatively small and very accurate at short distances, as well as having a good ROF with the 9.6v 1500 battery I bought.

I rated this a 5 because even though I feel this gun lacks range and long distance accuracy, it is a compact weapon meant to be used as a CQB or backup gun.

"This gun is great out of the box, a couple of small complaints like how my motor was hard wired so I had to do a small amount of soldering to upgrade it. and I cant find any RAS for it. Nothing to major though still a great gun!

"This gun is very simple. If all you're looking for is a simple, durable airsoft weapon for cqb or field then I would highly reccomend this gun... but I had it for over a year before selling it and my only complaint was that it strangely shot very far to the left of where the sights were aimed, and it has no windage adjustment :-(. I also didn't like the lack of available attachments/rails. It has a little thing that it says can be used to attach rails on the upper reciever, but it doesnt work because the rear sight is in the way. I must've gotten a lemon or something because no matter what i did it always shot left, but the groupings were great.

"I thought this was a good gun, very detailed and very powerful but it had some problems with it
Pros:
very detailed
high fps
600 round mag
high rof with 9.6 battery
side mount
large battery compartment
cons:
sights are very inaccurate
heavy
uncomfortable grip and stock
stock wobbles
selector switch is very tight at first and isn't ambidextrous
no top rail
very loud
short range

All in all it is a good gun, but is better for CQB and bad for field matches
