EMG Helios x Sharps Bros "Overthrow" Polymer Receiver M4 Airsoft AEG Rifle
(Model: 15" Carbine / Go Airsoft Package)

"Ran the 10” SBR version of this for about a year before selling it to get something different, and to be honest, I would get it again! It had a couple nitpicks, but those were all pretty minor compared to all the good things about the gun.

The good:
• performs GREAT for being a $200 gun. It’s more than capable of holding its own in an outdoor environment with maybe 100ft engagements. I play with a pretty small local group, so granted there isn’t really anyone running HPA or anything super high-end, but this thing’s performance is one of the things that still sticks out to me to this day. Also, for the record, I never modified it, used it completely stock the whole time with an 11.1v battery. Keep in mind's if you do use an 11.1, the gun does not have a MOSFET, and while it can take the battery, it’ll probably wear down the internals faster than if you used a 7.4v.
• it looks absolutely awesome, the magwell design is sick! For anyone looking for compatible magazines, the ares ones work, so do the avengers midcaps. Those were what I primarily ran. It also took those weird EMG 300 round AK-looking midcaps just fine, and don’t quote me on this but I’m pretty sure I’ve also put EPM-1s through it and it took them just fine. There is a decent amount of wobble in the mag well, but it always fed perfectly, and I never had a mag fall out.
• ergonomics were pretty good, the gun was lightweight and comfortable, and the stock in particular I LOVE! It has plenty of battery space and is super easy to open with the notch on the back.

The not so good:
• occasionally I would pull the trigger and get no response, but it would always somehow fix itself and work again on the next trigger pull. This would happen maybe once or twice per 150 rounds or so, so not very often.
• this is probably a super easy fix, I was just new to the sport at the time and didn’t know how to fix it, but I remember the handguard was a tad loose. It wouldn’t wiggle around or anything, but if you lightly twisted it, it would rotate a little. Again, probably just had to tighten the handguard screws and didn’t know how to at the time, but it is worth mentioning.
• similar to the last nitpick, the outer barrel did not like to stay tight. It was to the point that I couldn’t really attach any suppressors or muzzle devices, because when I tried to tighten them, the outer barrel would loosen too much.
• lastly, after shooting for awhile the grip would get a little warm, but it was never too hot to hold and in my experience this is pretty normal for a lot of airsoft guns.

So overall this is in my experience a very good gun for the price! It performs well out of the box, looks and feels amazing, and gets the job done. Keep in mind those little nitpicks I mentioned when you’re considering buying this, but they’re pretty minor ones to be honest, and are probably pretty easy fixes that I just didn’t know about. I have, and would, definitely consider buying this again. I definitely recommend it!

"I love this gun! Shoots very straight and Strong...

"Just recently got this gun, haven’t used it in a game yet. The color isn’t as gray as in the picture which for me is good. The threads on mine were 14mm NEGATIVE unlike what it says in the des. Stock was a bit wobbly but I fixed that with some electric tape. Flat trigger is very comfortable, and my evike BAMF mags fit with a little play. ROf is pretty good for stock and trigger response on a 11.1v is snappy. Even with the plastic construction it feels very comfortable and not like it’ll break, overall very good gun there are better choices, but if you want a unique reciever it’s very good.
