Tokyo Marui Colt / Daniel Defense Licensed Mk18 Mod.1 Next Generation Recoil Shock System AEG Rifle (Color: Black)

"Welp I wasnt always a big fan of TM. Quite honestly the low fps really made me not want to get this gun initially. However my itch for a bit more realism was ultimately the reason why I got this. I'm not going to lie spending up to 1000 for this gun, it's mags, and even a battery adaptet really sank my heart and my wallet. However my thoughts immediately changed after playing with it. Dont let the low fps fool you, I'm sure you've all heard about the marui magic and this mk18 replica most definitely delivers in terms of range. I've ran this through several open play matches and even my local fields operation milsim like event and the tm recoil exceeds my expectations.

I really like the aspect of the gun locking up after the final round has been shot and have to perform a reload that requires me to hit the bolt catch. I've been in a lot of adrenaline inducing moments of running out when there are enemies pushing up torwards me and having that bit of realism is really fun to play with. The recoil, although not as strong, is okay but definitely not really the main reason why I bought this gun. The ability to set all your mags to 30 rounds is a nice option but definitely can be to hardcore to use when you have a field with people running 100 plus rounds in just 1 mag.

Despite all the good there is no doubt some bad. First off dont expect to use your typical lipo or nmih batteries. This gun runs off a proprietary 8.4v battery sold by tm. However I ended up buying the laylax battery conversion to use my 7.4 battery. Please also note to not use a 11.1v when this gun is bone stock. You will kill this gun quicker by doing so and TM tends to kast forever if you dont push it's performance outside it's stock internals. Another complaint I have is no easier way to adjust the hop up. Most of my m4s have a bolt hold, but the TM recoil you have to hold the bolt back and adjust. Not too much of a problem but can be annoying mid game.

Overall this gun is a steep purchase. I would definitely not recommend this for beginner simply because of how expensive it is for a gun that has proprietary almost everything. However if you are looking to change your play style to something more realistic without getting a gbbr then this is the next best things. Again dont let that low fps fool you. It hits far and the realism is no doubt a blast to use. This has been a big purchase for me, but a purchase that I ultimately do not regret. This mk18 get's my thumbs up.

"Build quality on the TM MK18 is astonishingly supreme, it's just eye candy to look at as well.

"Beautiful gun, very quality made. No surprise, from Tokyo murai. Also a good weight but not to the point to where it’s exhausting. Even the iron sights are enjoyable, I mainly buy sights because it’s annoying to use iron sights lol. You will not regret buying this piece!
