Arcturus X C.A.T. AR-15 Legend Series Airsoft AEG Rifle (Color: Black / 8.5")

"got this guna few months ago, added a nice holo sight,angled grip, and a flashlight, shes an out of the box heater, personally no cons or problems with the gun. super responsive trigger, very very mean of of the box performance. for roughly 300 i think this gun slaps anything around in its price range

"i picked up one of these last year, i think what attracted me to it is the unique features as well as the unique look. but truthfully thats all it has going for it. I have the 8.5 model and the options of making the stock bigger is cool, i felt it really clashed with the look of the 8.5, kind of making it look like a hammer, i wanted to keep the entire gun thin and streamlined. the reason I mention this is that I was un able to get a 11.1v stick lipo to fit in the buffer tube, I ran it a few games with the butt cover off to all room. the issues did not end there, while it does come with a rotary style hop up, and it works, I found that the hop was so loose that it would slowly turn itself off while shooting, meaning you were constantly adjusting your hop up. i fixed it by putting in a krytac hop up, while I was there I swapped the inner barrel to a 6.03. that solved the hop up issue, but i couldnt figure out the battery. I spent an additional $100 to get a folding stock for a mcx and used electrical tape to tape my battery's to the stock, and you know what, it works, it works wonderfully and now the gun has really grown on me. the split gear box design is nifty and makes changing the spring relatively easy, I never used the cam system for the sector gear so I cannot comment. I am of the opinion of just get a mosfet, like a perun or something.
it also has a lever that is hidden away in the pistol grip that will trip the anti reversal latch allowing the gun to decock, its handy for end of the day.
I dont like the motor in this, or any arcturus for that matter, they really leave me wanting more, they are fine in semi, plenty snappy, but full auto really lacks. it claims 20 rps but I was only getting 17-18 on a fully charged 11.1v 30c lipo.
further more it has a microswitch trigger and I dont trust it, it has not failed and has worked perfectly, but I really dont trust it as I had really bad like with another arcturus that had one. bright side is it looks identical to the zci one, so it is replaceable.
lastly the one thing that truly drives me nuts is the dust cover is extremely loose, just by handling it, it will pop open, shooting it will result in it openeing, not a huge deal but its worth noting.
overall I am happy with the gun, but required some elbow grease to get it to a usable level, after putting in the work, I dont regret my purchase, but I strongly considered selling it before putting in the work.
for its price point I was a little let down, so for the price i would probably advise getting something else, but it is absolutely a usable gun and has grown on me, I am rating it 3 stars purely because of the hop up, motor, and battery space.
