FN Herstal Licensed Full Metal SCAR-L Airsoft AEG Rifle by Cybergun (Color: Black)

"I have been playing airsoft for three years now, and by far this gun is the best, I have dropped it once and it had landed on the ground pretty hard as HSP, sadly the front iron sight and orange tip broke, but it still works perfectly!!!!! I recommend this to anyone who is a beginner or anyone else, this gun was worth the money and the built is solid. It feel just about the same as the real scar-l from my past experience with firearms if you want the authentic feel for it. The only flaw is the battery size that can only fit, they have to be pretty small but other than that it works great!!!!

Pros:
Feels realistic
M4 mags arnt a problem
Ambidextrous
A lot of rail space
Folding stock
Wired to the stock
Retractibal stock
It looks amazing

Con:
Some what heavy
Battery compartment is small but stick lipo batteries will fit

"Great gun I highly recommend it. It has a surprisingly good ROF out of the box. The other reviews say you can't put a 9.6v in it but I managed to pretty easily using a tenergy butterfly type.

Pros
Good fps
Good ROF
Feels good in your hands
Very accurate

Con's
Maybe a little heavy so I bought a sling but nothing big
The stock is really cheap feeling but also doesn't feel like its gonna break either


Overall its the best and most accurate gun I've ever had
I am also going to get a monster motor to increase the ROF even more

"This is my 1st real airsoft gun(the springers I had 10-15yrs ago don't even rate next to this), so I had both high hopes & expectations for it & I was not disappointed.
Even though it says battery not included it did come with a 8.4v on top of the two 9.6v's & smart charger I ordered for the gun so I am very happy about that. I tested the gun with the 8.4v just to see what the gun could do & stress test it.

Very accurate @ 75+ feet with little or no hopup, good ROF on semi double & triple taps made easy, feels solid in your hands. I put some 3000 rds out of it switching between semi & full in 15-20min the motor & battery got really hot as expected & preformed as well as I hoped until the battery got too low to keep up, it had passed my test...... then I put the 9.6v in & I saw what it really could do & had to pick my jaw up off the floor.

"I just purchased this gun for myself for Christmas, and i have to say this gun is amazing. I borrowed my friends chrono and it was shootin 409 FPS with .20 and 391 with .25. Here is my list of the pros and cons.

PROS:
No Wobble
Feels Great in your Hands
Shoots amazing
Rails fit all optics: Picattiny rail
Great build
7mm Bushings
Cool Echo1 trademarks
Metal and polymer are amazing quality
Heavy, realistic( could be a con for some people)

CONS: I personally havent found any major cons to this gun
The rear sight sucks, popped off on second day of use
Not sure if it was just mine, but i need to shove my mags in really hard for it to stay

Otherwise this gun is great, i recommend it to anyone that wants it.

"this is The MOST Amazing gun ever. have had it for a year now and with a 9.6v battery the gun hasn't changed a bit. its awesomely amazing. sometimes on single fire my gun will fire three bb's at a time but i think its just my mag. BTW the mag this gun comes with a mag that holds 480-500 rounds. this gun right out of the box is already upgraded and everything. it comes with a good battery (8.4 i believe).

SO EVERY ONE OUT THERE NOOBERS AND VETERANS THIS IS THE GUN FOR YOU. BUY IT BEFORE EVIKE REALIZES THE SHOULD RAISE THE PRICE!!

"this guns a beast. awesome feel great look high rof and fps. it is not full metal but the only thing i didnt like about the gun is that the folding stock feels like is gunna break soon but i might be wrong this is my first echo1 purchase and it was a great buy a 9.6 v would probably be nice but it is not needed at all. I personally i got the holy cow 5$ sale and put a red dot on mine because the sights are crappy and probably used as backups. GET THIS GUN!!!

PROS:
good fps
good rof
echo 1
highy durable plastic and some metal

CONS:
folding stock is a little wobbly no big deal unless u have OCD
evike lies not full metal but close enough
mid cap jams a ton

COMMENTS:
m4/m16 use same type of mag so gets an a&k box mag for an m4 and then put it on this for LMG!!!!
BUY THIS GUN!!
ITS A BEAST!!!!

"Amazing gun!! i have had it for about 4 months and not a problem. great look and feel. i recommend getting a 9.6v battery for it. i love this gun and you will too.

pros

high fps (370-440)
fast rof
folding stock
great feel

con

NONE!!!!

get this gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"GREAT!!!!! Jmy bro got this gun for me and it rocks he had it built for lipo and it kicks butt and nevr stops shooten i highly recomend this gun!!!!!!

"Well just received this gun Friday, had it for 2 days and it still may be in its new stage but it kicks butt. The manufacturer says only to use .25 with their SCAR Version and i listened to them because I dont want my gun to break any time soon. And even using .25's im still getting great range, fps, and huge differences with the Hop up. I live where it is very windy, and even with that the gun still shoots very accurately up to 100ft. Also the gun not only just being accurate, and having great range is that the over all build quality of the gun is amazing. Very heavy, sturdy, and does not feel like it will break or be damaged external any time soon. The best part about this gun for me is the fear factor of the gun its self. I am using one of my old full metal and black phantom flash hiders, and when my friends who also have high-end AEGs see this gun aimed at them, they run or get to cover. Over all it is a sweet gun.

STOCK
The stock for me at least is defiantly the most disappointing point of this gun. Its not that the stock is low quality, or feels cheep, its that many areas of it can mess you up. For example, when having the stock out (not folded) and you set it down on the stock, you can clearly see the gun bend where the stock is attached. Now it wont break off or snap, this is mainly caused because the part that hooks the stock into place is this sort of hard rubber. (not the best idea) Another thing that makes the stock a disappointment is the battery space, and the wires. The battery it comes with (8.4v 12mah, charge time 4 hours) just fits into the stock. I find it easiest for inserting the battery by extending the stock all the way, placing the battery in the way back, (cords in the front) Attaching the cords outside the stock, then putting the cords in the front of the battery. the ods of you fitting a 9.6 or bigger in the stock is very slim, and I hope i can find a custom type 9.6 so i don't need to use the external battery pouch. And the cord from the gear box to the stock is in the worst possible spot ever. It is exposed, and really stretched out when the stock is folded. It goes from the back of the gun, turns 90 degrees into the stock. (stresses cord very much) when folding the stock back into full position make sure the cord is not in the way of the stock, or it will snag, or even cut the cord. Other than the battery and folding problems it is over all very sturdy and wont break. The stock is a 4 position SCAR stock, and the cheek riser has 3 positions. One thing to be careful about when folding the stock is that the lock where the stock catches very small, and doesn't keep a tight fit. Even as I got it, it was very loose, and barley kept it in place.

LOWER RECEIVER
The lower receiver houses the V2 gear box, magwel, and motor. It is made out of a sturdy and great quality ABS plastic, and is attached to the upper receiver with three body pins. The second day I had this, we where playing a game the the forward most pin fell out. Sadly I never found it and will have to order a new set of pins from ECHO-1, but the gun surprised me by still being very sturdy and still no wobble. The selector switch is ambidextrous, same with the mag release. It is very similar to a M4. The only con would be the M4 style grip. It is defiantly to small for this gun, and gets uncomfortable after awhile. I would recommend using gloves, or getting a new grip all together for greater support.

UPPER RECEIVER
This part of the gun is where most of the weight is. It is all metal, has a full length numbered rail on the top (also metal) the hammer (which can be changed to either side with a hex key) The 3 piece metal RIS hand rails, (two can be removed, bottom can not) Both metal sling mounds, flip up rear and front sight (both metal and adjustable) outer barrel, Adjustable gas system (not functional) and the Semi-Licensed white panted trade marks. (on mine, the word SCAR was whited out on the gun, and the box) This is where the weight of the gun is, but it is very balanced none the less. Everything just stated is excellent quality, and works great. the sights are my favorite part. They are very adjustable, and work great with a RDS, or a Holo sight. The only con with the sights is that the eye relive for the back sight is very, very small. Unlike the M4, to revile the hop up is very simple. Simply just pull the hammer back, hold the gun with the hammer, and adjust. (up for less, down for more.) Even after pulling the hammer many times, no scratches on the metal have appeared. The hop up has a huge range and I am very impressed with it. The gun comes with a 3in barrel extension. (outer barrel only) The only con with the upper receiver is that the metal just above the lower rail moves when pushed together. It does not wobble, but if you push on each side, the side on the right will move in, than slightly out again. This may because because on my lost body pin, or something inside the gun. Never the less it does not affect performance or the sturdiness of this gun.

CONCLUSION
9/10 for this AEG Scar-L by ECHO-1 USA. Excellent quality on this gun, and I can defiantly see my self using this far in the future. The only bad thing with the gun is the stock, wires, battery space, and body pins. Defiantly recommended for intermediate to expert players alike. GREAT GUN!

"I've owned this gun since January 2009 (nearly 2 years), and I've never had a single problem with it. The only upgrade I've done is a Mad Bull Tightbore Barrel (300mm) and I'm outranging most AEGs on the field. It's dead accurate, and I've used an 11.1v LiPoly in it for a long time. No signs of wear and tear. It has great range, its powerful, its accurate, and it feels good in your hands.

It looks REALLY awesome with a Reflex sight, Classic Army M203 (short), and Gemtech Blackside suppressor.

If you're looking for a gun that won't let you down. This is the gun for you. It's even been submerged in water, and it still fires flawlessly. I love it.

"can this gun take a lipoly battery also what spring does it come with

"I have had this gun for over a year and it performs great. I get a consistent 380 fps out of it and the only thing that I don't like about the gun is the weight. It can be pretty heavy for the long 8 hour airsoft events.

Other than that... great gun

"Got this gun used from a friend, and haven't regreted it since! I've had a G&P 551 on it and loved it, but now it sports an ACOG. The motor finaly gave up on me, so I put in a Matrix Hi-torque. That motor in combination with an Intellect 9.6v 1600Mah mini it shoots around 16-18rps. I was only getting about 340fps with mine, so I upgraded it to a M120 variable pitch and it kicked it up to at least ~410fps. The hardest part about that upgrade was getting the ambi selector working right again, and I agree that any kind or gearbox asociated upgrade with one of these is NOT for the inexperienced or the easily frustrated airsofter. I had the common hopup problem with mine like most people seem to, and the problem is an abnormaly large hopup spacer or 'nub'. It does have a madbull blue bucking in it now along with a madbull 363mm 6.03mm black python tightbore and is giving my KWA SR12 a run for it's money! Some mags don't wana lock in properly if you're not careful, so just put them in then give them a firm slap on the bottom of the mag to ensure they're seated proplerly. I have had absolutely NO poblems with ANY mag feeding in this gun! This gun is pretty durable, because I tripped on some fence mesh wire in the grass while running full blast and landed right on the stock hinge! I'm an easy 200lb guy, and I got right back up and used the gun the rest of the day with a broken stock. I replaced it with a D-Boys stock and personally I think the D-Boys stock seems tougher which I didn't expect. This gun will only fit mini batteries unless you get the CA large battery stock. Also just an FYI, I have never had any problems with the wires being exposed where the stock folds. There's extra hard rubber insolation at that hinge point and I've never had the wires get pinched like allot of people fear. The guy I bought it from wishes he had never sold it to me and wants one just like what I've done to mine! You won't regret buying one of these at all!

"THIS GUN IS GREAT! Shoots really hard and you will always hear someone yell or curse out when you shoot them with it. I got 2 extra high caps because the one that came with it misfed. This guy is pretty heavy and full metal. I have a grip/bipod thing wich i got for 20 bucks here. Also have a 60 acog scope and just ordered a 9.6 volt battery and a speed chrger because the chrger that comes with it is bad, and the ROF isnt to great. OVERALL: AmAzInG!!!! get this!!!!
