"I got this gun today I'm impressed with it although it's not very accurate with .25 gram bbs. hopefully heavier bbs will increase the accuracy of the gun.
The gun itself feels very well built and comfortable to hold it has a nice weight to it. I like the clip design it doesn't drop bbs when you change the clip and reload. Over all I like the gun I can't wait to get some heavier bbs and get a game going with it.

"I Turned this gun into a Kar 98 sense I cant find any of those for sale, but I will say this much its really fun to shoot and it awesome with its loading. Accurate from 100+ feet! Get this! Preferably use .30 Gram BB's or at least .25BB's

"I bought this gun roughly a year ago and have been using it every now and then. I try not to treat it harshly but I've still ran into problems with it. Right off when I got it out of the box, the mags would not fit snug and had to be inserted a certain way and shaken otherwise they will fall out. The large mag prevents me from slinging my rifle certain ways as the mag sticks out too much The mag issue also made misfeeds an issue that comes up maybe once in every 15-20 shots. The bolt pull has never seemed strong to me but my friends and others who held my rifle all claimed it was very strong (I am relatively thin though). Despite the strong bolt pull I was able to get follow up shots very smoothly except the bolt would sometimes hit against the safety either when I pull it forward or try pulling it down.

I recommend this if you want a high capacity mag, an accurate rifle, are willing to tolerate the loose mag, and are not looking for something "elite"

This is my first airsoft rifle and I plan to replace it but still have it as a back up.

"Pros:
great fps

very accurate

i got some one without a sight in the fore head from 100ft away

cons:
Eats bbs (i dont mean i use a lot) if you dont rack the bolt fast the bbs split in half and get in the front

the mag is a little loose

i love this gun when you get it dont think its a bad gun with the bolt because when you use it as muck as i do (about once a weekend) it will do it less than stop so i dont have that problem any more.

but for the price it is a very good gun

"I got this gun and I loved the look out of the box it shoots super nice and smooth. The hop up is nice and accessible. The fps with .25 gram bbs is decent only 375 max. I had a problem with the mag I don't understand why if you put in 10 bbs it would only shoot 5 or so if anyone has an answer to my problem plz answer I would appreciate it.

"This a good gun. I found out that you can use vsr10 hop up bucking, barrel, spring, and piston guide. Everything else is proprietary to the gun. It does its job as a sniper rifle for an intermediate player. Good accuracy and fps. Bolt pullback is also very smooth.

"Right out of the box this sniper rifle feels and looks awesome its very comfortable. The Quality of this gun is absolutely amazing especially for its price unfortunately mine right out of the box had a problem my Trigger sears where not catching which wasn't a huge problem all i needed was a new trigger box. Even though i had a problem with mine which could of been it maybe was damaged while shipping i highly recommend this gun i absolutely love it.

Pros:
-Looks Awesome
-Feels Amazing
-Metal Magazines
-Adjustable cheek rest
-Amazing quality

Cons:
None except my problem of course

"Rifle is fast shooting but the feed ramp/ internals are crap. Feed ramp broke first mag feed through it. Hoping when I run it again it after repair it won’t break again
by Archie D. on 05/29/2020
"The positives for this rifle are the way it feels and looks. This gun feels great, and is beautiful right down to the mag placement. It will hit at 250ft right out of the box, and yes that is measured not a guess. The problem is that at about 200ft the bb curves to the left or right. (Typical VSR style hop up.) Except the hop up chamber is proprietary so know aftermarket upgrading. You can install the maple leaf arm, but didn't help me. The only upgradeable parts on the gun are the hop up arm, inner barrel, bucking, spring , and spring guide. Everything else is proprietary. You can get all parts directly through APS for pretty cheap though. This gun for me out of the box chronoed at around 500fps and would occasionally drop as low as 430fps. I would say the reliable range for this gun is 175ft. Decent out of box gun and beautiful, but not upgradable and just doesn't have the range to get a great review. If it at least would take VSR hopup upgrades, this would be an easy 5 stars, but because it doesn't 3 stars is what I'll give it.

"Hi everyone
It's great looking gun, but that's only nice thing to say about it.
This gun is jamming a lot, sometimes shoots by self after coked back. This gun is no worthy for $140, more expensive options are totally waste of money
Feeding rail system is made from hard, but very fragile plastic, so I broke it after 20min of try to shooting with. But if you are little bit handy, you will figure out the feeding ramp is actually only the problem, cause the bb won't go all the time in to the edge of hop up. So I had to adjust the high of the end of feeding rail, it goes deeper and closer to hop up, now is not jamming( it will only sometimes)
I wish it will exist a aluminium version of the rail!
I hope you guys understand what I try to say, English isn't my native language

"ive had this gun for maybe a little less than a year and out of the box ive always had feeding issues. the receiver is very poor polymer and it broke probably the first month i got the gun. also one of the screws that hold the trigger assembly to the gun became loose and fell out. if you want a reliable gun you should probably look somewhere else.
by Nicholas E. on 03/29/2017
"I own the original version of this gun (380-400 fps) version. Gun looks and feels great but the internal quality is questionable. Specifically the bb feed system, the first few shots i fired broke the piece the guides the bb up the ramp into the chamber. I would have been more upset but you can get replacement pieces for like 3$ directly from the APS in asia. So i recommend buying like 3 extra. I haven't broke another since the first.

Second dont try to upgrade this weapon with after market parts. its hit or miss with everything fitting right.

Lastly be suspicious with this "550 fps version", if its true that's fantastic and i will be buying one, but until there is hard evidence out there, look for another sniper. (evike put up an updated video pls)
Over 3 out of 5,

pros
looks nice
mags where it should be
solid

cons
weak fps
non upgradeable for the most part
some cheap internals

"Just received my multicam version and well the mag is expreamly hard to put in, when the mag is fully in sometimes won't feed a bb I believe this is because the mag isn't pushing the bb hard enough forward (half full mag) also when feeding the bb it will sometimes just get lost throughout the gun and I have some stuck inside my gun and I can't take them out unless I take the fun apart, so I went to take the gun apart and all the screws are basically stripped don't know why but has some feeding probs. Also, no where to put a bipod there is no rail so you will have to drill one on I guess
Pros when it is shooting it's nice very nice you can adjust the hop up nicely and is very consistent very nice lightweight nice that the back stock comes off
by Jeff J. on 06/08/2015
"This is a good gun but there is a peice in the trigger grouping that keeps wearing down and I've bought multiple replacements for it but all of them keep wearing down. The hop-up on this gun is not the highest quality either. Also if you keep it cocked and loaded for too long it will misfire.

"First day I got this gun it was amazing, it shot hard and was easy to use one week later the problems began. The gun started to jam and it would not stop slam firing and it was crazy everyday I would have to see what new problem there was then the worst problem came the gun it was not shoot well it looked like the bullets were going in slow motion, and they would only go 10 feet! I have been trying find the problem but I cant remember how to put the gun back together so I lost my money I am 13 and I have been saving money for many months like 5 dollars a week and I just lost all my work cause of gun that I trusted. I should of made more research and thought that spring action guns are not good!
