"Ive had this for over a year and it was originally purchased to be a backup to my M4 GBBR. However, after seeing the impressive performance for the price, I wanted to continue to use it more when I didn’t feel like using a GBBR or when the weather was too cold. I’ve upgraded since the initial purpose. I got the following budget-friendly options:

Matrix Ported Cylinder
Matrix CNC Aluminum Cylinder Head
Matrix CNC Aluminum Nozzle (o-ring)
SHS CNC Aluminum Piston Head
Maple Leaf 60 degree Super Hop Bucking
Maple Leaf Concave Nub
Unicorn 6.03mm, 370mm Tightbore Barrel
ZCI High Torque Motor
Systema M120 Spring

With the above upgrades and a perfect shim job, the gun sounds amazing and has an extremely fast trigger response. You’ll get 1.44J with .3g BBs. Accuracy is phenomenal and the range is great. I’ve also let this be a loaner for people at the field I play at (we have a small community of players). They are very impressed with it. You can slap a 4x ACOG on this, if you want, and each shot (when sighted in properly) will follow the vertical black line perfectly until it hits the crosshairs. The body, although plastic, is made of a pretty good quality polymer and I don’t fear it breaking. The stock is meh and works, but I suggest getting a better quality one at some point after you do your upgrades.

TL;DR
If you’re hesitant on getting this because of the polymer body and low price, don’t let that worry you. This sucker is great and I highly recommend this as a primary or backup.

"Great gun, have had for over a year. Is lipo ready, and can handle 11.1 V LIPO batteries. thats what i used. I switched over to a 7.4 v lipo because my previous battery died. 11.1 V makes it fire a lot faster. But it also wears down your gun faster. This is a great gun if you want to "sup it up" I swapped the M4 barrel for an alluminum keymod rail. And I put a red dot sight on it, and hoping to do some internal upgrades soon. Shoots far and accurate. Very solid metal gun.

"Amazing gun, i would recommend buying a strong battery because the gun can handle it since it is lip ready. very heavy and sturdy.

"This is the best gun you can get for this price point. I used this as the base for my backup AEG. Gearbox is solid.

Things to note:
The one I received came rear wired though stated it would be front wired, this ended up being better for me anyways. The buffer tube is polymer so I ended up swapping out for a stubby stock for extra battery space. The hop up unit is a rotary, though feels pretty cheaply made so I threw in one I had lying around.

Overall very solid I would just recommend swapping out the buffer tube for a metal one or getting a fixed stock and upgrading the hop up unit. For this price you are getting a very solid base gun and can throw in a couple parts while still keeping your build very cost effective.

"This is a real good deal, it has an amazing gearbox. I bought one and basically used it for a custom build. It has a good hop up unit. The receiver is OK, a little thin but works just fine. I would by this for a starter gun and can always upgrade. works with 11.1v lipo as well. it has a good RPS

"Probably the best entree level m4 I’ve ever had it’s smooth to fire, and tough if dropped. I would highly recommend this m4 platform.

"For the price this gun is pretty good. My son has been using it for 4 months now and he has no complaints. It's not that much more in price than the sub $100 guns but it feels a whole lot better.

"I've been using this rifle for about 3 months now , I've crawled through sand , mud , and dirt with it , it's been dropped a few times , not even a scratch, I live in humid conditions , so after a months of going outside daily and target practicing , the dust cover rusted , but that's a cheap fix that shouldn't stop you from buying this rifle , it is a God tier M4 for beginners to intermediate players . It is the prime jewel of my collection . Don't hesitate to buy this rifle if you see it on discount.

"Its an amazing beginner to intermediate M4.

I have been constantly using this rifle for target practice and field play for the last year, and it has held up spectacularly. The rifle can last all day on a single battery. The fire rate and trigger response is amazing. The plastic buffer tube can be annoying, but it isn't horrible. I have been able to use this rifle for up to 200 foot shots with ease. When paired with good bbs and a good optic, this rifle is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it for anybody looking to get into airsoft.

"Very good starter gun if it is on sale I should not hesitate to buy it

"Read this before you buy.

I bought the "Black M4A1 | 350 FPS" version.

I used this gun twice on the field and both times it served me well. One of those two times it jammed on me, but the fix was super easy.

PROS

-Super high ROF (17 rounds per seconds with 9.6v)
-Pretty accurate
-Easy to adjust hop up
-Trigger response is okay
-Made of polymer, but it's super high quality polymer
-Some metal parts
-Can hold down full-auto for a long time without gun or battery heating up
-Lightweight (could be a con for some, I like the mobility)
-Cheap


CONS

-ROF on semi-auto is limited to about 6 rounds per second
-The included magazine's bottom screw kept unscrewing itself and now I can't use it
-Battery connecter is small tamiya instead of deans
-FPS is a little lower than what advertised (for my model). Maybe it's because I shot it alot before I went to the field causing the spring to wear down.
-Tight squeeze for a 9.6v butterfly to fit in the battery space without pinching the wires.

!!!READ THIS!!!
The last con I mentioned actually is a HUGE problem. The small tamiya connector is so fragile that if you're not careful with the wires, the wires will break off the connector, causing the gun to click and heat up when you try to use it. To fix it, the wires would need to be soldered back on the connector. If you don't know how to solder or you don't know anyone who can solder, avoid buying this gun.

Other than the wires attached to the connector breaking off partially, this is the BEST beginner gun out there and would HIGHLY recommend for anyone starting airsoft. Remember, you may want to stay away from this gun if you can't solder.

9/10.

"Arguably the best starter gun for CQB if ur into close range engagements. I have been playing airsoft for a pretty decent time and this by far has still got to be my favorite m16. I took this gun to my local arena: Nashville Airsoft and it destroys people. This gun was so fun to play with on top of a 2.5x sight on the 20mm rail on top. This is a must buy for anyone who is looking into close quarters combat airsoft for the price of $99 when on sale is an honest steal.

"Excellent product. I personally love how the Handel is removable. I'm tossing a red dot on her. The gear box sounds solid. It's a good gun and it seems a good platform for upgrades.

"This is my first time writing a review, even thought I have bought more than 20 airsoft guns from EVIKE. This M4 amazingly surprises me. Never fooled by the average quality polymer receivers, buffer tude, handguards, hup-up unit and etc, it shoots excellent. The fps is around 380, faire enough., and it shoots fast. The most surprising aspect of this M4 is the accuracy despite its average built internal parts. The grouping is up to the level of a sniper rifle of high quality. Furthermore, the fast reacting trigger amases me, thanks to the MOSFET. You don't see such a feature within many high end guns. After all, this is an undoubtedly excellent airsoft gun.

PROS:
Excellent accuracy
Good fps and rps
MOSFET provided
Fast changing of spring, an excellent feature
Lightweight, can be handled with one hand, even with a M203 attached
Extremely economic choice, with a M203 launcher!

CONS
Obviously the average quality polymer material, which is supposed to be the outcome of balance of performance and cost. Understandable.
The connection of buffer tude and receiver is loose because of stripped screw of spring guide. I have to remove the cover plate between buffer tude and receiver to extend the coupling the screw and spring guide

"RIC FLAIR WOOOOOOOOO! That trigger though! I bought 2 on sale for 90 a piece for spares and they both do work! For the price, I was not disappointed!
