Someone else was askin about em, so I'll just cut and paste what I done already said (ooooh, new post boostin tactic, pay attention sub 500 post people :P )

Well, with some creativity, turns out they can take a DF, auctionjunkie knows how to do it, you just gotta have some adapters and other sorts of pieces. Myself I think it's stupid as hell not to use the standard hole pattern for Drop forwards, but Kingman decided they'd do it. Well, it's a single trigger, and pretty darn stiff, which I didnt especially like. Method of operation involves the hammer being attached to the back of the gun, when you fire, a solenoid opens up and releases gas to push the hammer forward, after the open time for the solenoid is over (dwell time), it shuts off, allowing the bolt to pull the hammer back into place and recock the gun. As for what the hammer and bolt do, it's the same standard stacked tube design as alot of other guns. It feels pretty bad without a DF, but with one, it would probably help balance the gun a whole lot. Quick disassembly as alot of guns have these days is also a nice touch. The battery is a standard 9volt battery housed in a compartment that is easy to get at, and is located on the side of the body. Unfortuntaly, the battery is very hard to get out. My opinions are that it's a pretty nice gun, with a ROF to match any of the other electros out there, but other electros on the market have far better trigger pulls and options for DFs, and for that reason I'd look elsewhere
