APS Full Metal M4 RIS Non-Blowback Standard Airsoft AEG Rifle (Hybrid Gearbox)

"Hey!

So I am very new to airsoft, this was my very first purchase and I'm definitely glad of my choice. Its been about a week and its been nothing but a great experience. I bought the gun for about 130 and put about $80 worth of accessories on it and I've gotten compliments about it. I definitely recommend this rifle to anyone newer to the sport.

"Bought this as my very first airsoft gun. I have owned mine for 6 months with no problems and have had no problems with it so far. Build quality is good and the whole gun has a nice feel to it. Paint on the receiver does scratch rather easily. Mine currently has a Matrix 3000 speed motor, SHS 16:1 gears and a M100 spring.

Pros:
Excellent externals for the price
Easily upgradable
Quick change spring
Included hi-cap

Cons:
Stock performance isn't anything special (as to be expected for a gun in this price bracket)
Paint scratches easily

Verdict:
If you're looking for a first gun or a cheap project, this is the one for you.

"I have owned mine for 1 year now and it's been amazing. The whole dust cover setup is pretty horrible, however it's very simple to take of and does not affect performance at all. Also, I have gone through 3 different springs, because this gun has a really high compression rate so if you need a specific fps buy a lower spring.
pros-great for cqb, mostly metal, very customizable, easy to use, after the first time easy to take apart, great price for what your getting

cons-dust cover is very sensitive the lock will shoot of if pressed to hard, taking it apart the first time is a pain, requires variety of tools to take apart

"Overall I'm pretty impressed with the gun. The silver light gearbox keeps the stress on parts down and it's noticable. After a full day of shooting full auto my motor never once even felt warm, than again I'm not a trigger happy player. Another great thing about this gun is the price. I have a g&g combat machine for $10 less and by far the APS blows it away.

Pros: full metal, good fps (hot out of the box), great range, slight kick (very slight), solid trigger pull, great internals, decent ROF, fairly accurate

Cons: slight RIS warble (very slight), flash hider is glued on and I'm afraid to pull it off, hop up unit needs to be broken in (not necessarily a con but it will affect your accuracy. Just fumble with it and you'll find the correct setting), not much else

Overall you're paying $160 for a full metal m4 from a fairly new and improved brand that had exceeded my expectations. That dent in the cylinder people keep talking about is just a screw on the inside btw. Everything about this gun is nice and i'd recommend it to a begging or veteran looking for a solid gun to skirmish with. Overall 8.5/10

"Received mine the other day. For the price, it's a pretty great gun. It has a nice weight and feels solid. The ROF is a bit lower than what i prefer, but nothing to serious. The only real problem I've had so far is the FPS. It may just be that I'm used to guns with a higher fps. But it could be the bbs to. I'll toy around with it some more later. Overall, I'd say it's a great beginner/intermediate AEG. 8.5/10 for it's class.

"Great gun for the price.

pros:
Very accurate
Metal parts give it a nice weight
Its an m4 so its highly upgradable
Good for cqb or outdoors

Cons:
Ris wobbles
Just a slight bump anywhere around the dust cover and it will flip down(does not affect performance, just annoying)

"I am very satisfied with this gun and I think it is a great gun for the price

PROS:
-Excellent RIS
-Full Metal
-Nice Weight
-Fast Firing/ Good gearbox
-Its tough (I have dropped mine and fell on mine plenty)

CONS:
-The front sight wobbles
-The RIS wobbles (Could be just fine)
-For some reason it isn't accurate with follow up shots or full auto
-Hopup seems to change after a while
* It said that mine was wired in the front but it was wired in the back.

"Very nice gun. It's a full metal/polymer mix, and extremely comfortable to hold. Almost feels like a replica of an actual M4.

The only downside is that I've been trying for years to find the battery port, and have had the consistent issue of not being able to get it to work, despite researching.

"Very nice, best starter for the price.

"I love this gun so much! It has a great design to it. The rails feel really comfortable. My only problems are that my orange tip came cracked and loose and also it was coated with oil (on the moving parts that would require it) so I dried it up with a paper towel. Overall it's a beautiful gun I put a 551 holo sight, foregrip, and a flashlight on it. If you're thinking about buying this gun I would do it.

"I got this gun for christmas of 2015 and have been running it ever since, having put around 10000 bb's through the thing. The gun is full metal construction and has a heavy weight to it which I like for realism purposes. The gun also has a cool bolt+bolt release system where you can easily change your hopup adjustment without having to keep the charging handle back and smack the bolt release when done. The gun shoots consistently around ~400fps or a little lower.
I recently opened up the gearbox and was astonished on how well put together the gears were. The gears were shimmed (or at least attempted to be shimed), the gun had a corrected AOE, and was pretty solid overall in terms of internals. The only thing about the internals I don't like is there is a long trigger pull, longer than most AEG's I have had. I would recommend getting a shorter stroke trigger

PROS:
Sturdy
~400fps
Pre Shimmed gears (sorta shimmed)
Pre Corrected AOE and corrected AOE piston
Neat bolt+bolt release system for easy hopup adjustment
Shinny Gearbox

CONS:
Heavy (could be a pro)
Long Trigger Pull
Not so great motor
Mag release spring is too tight, mags often have trouble coming in and out of the magwell (speaking for elite force mags)

Overall it's a nice AEG and would recomend to anyone who is into the sport and can afford it!

"Alrighty then, here I go.

Overall thought: Great beginner gun. Twas the gun that propelled my love for airsoft. It ran it passed with flying colors.

Mine pooped out on me about 4 months into using it. It started misfeeding. A lot. I put a few upgrades such as a barrel, bucking/nub, spring, and hop up.

From what I learned with this gun, the metal in the mag well seemed to have gotten so filed down from magazine after magazine, it affected the performance.

Good beginner gun, buy another one in the future.

"Its not a bad gun. Not fun at all to take apart. Good begginer to intermediate gun. Good for upgrading. I plan to turn into a dmr. The fire selector switch was way to tough so you might have to take it apart and lube the fire selector

"Gun looks good I would just like to know WHERE DOES THE BATTERY GO?!
