Review:
This gun is great right out of the box. it shoots straight and accurate and looks mean. With some ajustment to the trigger it is fairly easy to walk too. Even though this gun is great if you don't want to be just another kid with an ion, it does have some shortcomings. For one, even though it has cool milling, it is still basically a spyder. The trigger wobbles and stock, is not close enough to the switch. The main problem for me was that my 3rd time using it, the fps dropped off to about 180fps. I changed out the spring and that seemed to fix the problem. After only 500 more shots it dropped back off again. Now by streaching the most powerful spring it comes with I can consitantly shoot around 250fps. The gun is deadly accurate in the right hands, but what gun isn't?
With a spring kit and compressed air this gun sould preform perfectly. Unfortunitally i havent bought a spring kit yet. If you are looking for a fairly tight gun with killer looks look no further. You no longer have to buy an ion to have low cost preformance.
Now I have installed the parts listed above, and this gun is awsome. It is running about 300psi!!!. The kick and sound was greatly reduced and I have had less malfunctions. I'm upping its score to an 8
Conclusion:
Buy it to not be like everyone else,everyone is constantly asking what it is at my fields.
Springs bad but can be fixed, one LP its sweet

A timmy would be a 10, how could this possibly be up there, its a low end electric
Yes but you go by how much you paid for. Obviously this gun dosen't compare to a timmy but it's one of the best in it's price range just like the timmy is for it's price. Just sayin you know. Anyway good review and 8 is a reasonable rating for this gun anyways
