range is meh

all together this gun is very good

"I love this gun. I can not say how much I love this gun.

Pros:
1.Light
2.Durable
3.Fast trigger (You don't have to run a lipo either, I get really good trigger response without a lipo)
4.Good accuracy
5.Programmable fire selector( It is awesome to be able to have a burst mode)

Cons:
1.Battery compartment( I made my own battery compartment out of an old pistol mag pouch and some para-cord and it works just fine.)
2.The muzzle break( I can't for the life of me figure out how to take off the muzzle break, luckily I like the way it looks but just keep that in mind when purchasing this gun.)
3.Iron sights( I would recommend buying a sight for this gun and never using the iron sights that it comes with.)
4.programmable fire selector( You have to buy the programming unit separate from the gun, however it is not a necessary purchase.)
5.WEAR GLOVES( If you are shooting for long periods or firing fast the motor grip will get very hot, which in some places of the world might be useful but here in the Arizona heat it is not.)

Overall I would recommend this gun to anyone out there looking for a M4, also it works great if you slap a drum mag in it and use it like a budget LMG.

"I've got this gun for a month now, and I'm going straight to the point, the gun is awesome. It is accurate, has a good range, RoF, and compact.

I've put an Eotech 552 and a peq15 on it, and I love the looks. I also got the programmer box, which helps protect the battery, and lets you change from semi, full auto, or 3 round burst.

Since I'm not in the US, I got the all black and metal muzzle break, which in my opinion makes it look even better. The only confusion I got from the specs here in evike is that it states that the barrel has a negative thread, while it is positive. After some emails with the tech support team, they confirmed that the barrel has a positive thread (which matches the metal muzzle break accessory description), hope they update the specs soon.

Here's what I didn't like:
- The iron sights are garbage (they look nice though), they're plastic and you can't adjust them at all.
- Small space for battery, you will need a very specific battery to fit the compartment.

You really can't go wrong for the price.

"I’ve had this gun for about 6 months now and I have a few gripes about it. I thought the gun could use a slightly larger stock battery compartment and maybe have a 14mm ccw barrel, but you already get that info before you buy it mostly. The two major things I had issues with is the stock motor and stock sector gear. The stock motor is probably one of the worst to be put in an Airsoft gun. Anything below 1 Celsius, you’ll have to warm up the motor a bit. The sector gear could have been improved by simply being steel like the other gears. I put a 40k boost in my gun (rough on most gearboxes) and after about 1000 bbs or so the sector gear turned itself into a diy dsg by striping a few teeth. Not going to knock the gun too much for stripping but if it was steel like the spur and bevel gear then it wouldn’t have stripped. All in all the gun works pretty good on an 11.1v 15c lipo and you could probably get away with a 20-25c. I’d recommend this gun and it gets a well deserved 4/5

"I actually received this gun by mistake, I ordered another AEG Amoeba but received this one instead (no surprise there evike)
I will say the gun is very well built... for a extremely small battery. I run an 11.1v tri stick battery and had to buy a completely new stock and put a mag pouch tied to the side of it

Pros:
- Looks really good
- for the most part fully metal and feels amazing
- runs smoothly
- fires decently after hop-up adjustments and possibly motor adjustments
- has built in MOSFET for lipo batteries

Cons:
- default stock is awful and if you want to run decent 11.1v suggest new stock
- battery wire is extremely short so if you want a new stock I'd suggest re-wiring it
- first couple trigger pulls may stutter until it gets warmed up
- if you run an 11.1v lipo the motor may heat up very quickly (this you will get with most guns)

Conclusion:
Even though is wasn't the gun I technically ordered after I put in some modifications on it I was very pleased with this gun and it is built to last
